The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
sam06pr replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
CF doesn't do animals (remember the WOA fiasco), so Seaworld is probably out. Also, I really doubt that Busch will want to ditch a revenue stream such as this- dunno about that, though. Probably gonna be a over rethemeing/renaming, although it may be a ride introduction, which would still be an awkward time to do so (just prior to the main TP season). If it's a new roller coaster, new theme, I highly doubt it is going to be Announced by August Busch the IV, which leads me to believe it is more than that. That it may be a new expansion elsewhere, and what a better place to announce it than at their flagship park, SWO. -
Photo TR: Aquatica!
sam06pr replied to WillMontu's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went yesterday and it was okay. I got on all the slides. I really enjoyed all of them. what I found a bit disappointed was the small lazy river which I thought was going to have a big cave with a bunch of tropical fish, but all I found was a tank full of not so tropical fish in a small section. I was expecting the dolphin exhibit to be much larger and a longer ride but it was not. I do think it has a cute different theme with vibrant color. There are two family sections that are great for kids. I think they should add more slides in the years to come, like a water coaster, something like typhoon lagoon has or one of those bowls like the one that Wet N Wild just added. But I do not see a lot of land to expand on, unless they move the parking lot to an empty piece of land they have next to them. But why am I even talking about expansion if it is about to open? lol. The lazy river was small, they had another river but it had some type of currents, so it was not a lazy river(lol) and it was longer. I think the mat race slide was very high up and scary. The Blue Family Raft ride was pretty scary for me as well. lol. I thought they were going to have, apart from marine life, some exotic birds, unlike the pics above i did not see not one bird. I was disappointed at the fact that there was not a lot of marine life. I managed to see the dolphins when I went down the slide, my little sister managed to go slow down the slide by opening her arms wide and saw the dolphins better. But the tubes are already a bit blurry. Overall it was a fun park -
This was a good interview, although I found some of the responses to be a bit rude, as if they were aggravated. But I think with them in charge Six Flags is heading in the right direction surpassing the standards of other amusement parks such as Cedar Fair. I love their philosophy and the way they see things should be. With them in charge I feel comfortable that everything will turn out great! Oh and I think Robb did a good job with the interview, very organized and concise. Good Job

Disney's EMV Dark Rides
sam06pr replied to ECZenith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought Dinosaur was good when I first rode it but then I came back to ride it and it was a bit tame. Still was a good ride,but from all the hype people say about the indy ones at CA an Japan, why can't Disney upgrade Dinosaur to be more thrilling (not necessarily intense)? Why did they downgrade the ride? -
Well here are some videos I found around, however they are in spanish from AOL Basically what they are saying is that construction has started (assuming 3 months ago) and that they will have rides that will be internationally recognized. They say that the theme park will be finished in one year...I hpe they are well on their way to get it done. Apparently their website is down

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
sam06pr replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
you work at Sheikra? I did evac training a few months ago there and I was terrified. lol.l I work at TBT. anyways for some reason some people think that scorpion was transfered from another park. Maybe they are confusing it with Cheetah Chase. I also heard this from a lady the other day Lady: "the bigger they build it the better" Me: "yeah sometimes" Lady: "there is this park being built in South Carolina and can you believe they were asking for people to test run the Led Zeppelin and they could not find anyone brave to ride so they tested the ride with water dummies. I would of love to volunteer but they never asked me" HA! I could not help it. -

Water Coasters - They Good?
sam06pr replied to ash.1111's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have only Been on JTA in Sea World Florida and it was a good ride...thanks to the whole ride being themed excessively. Other than that it's a good water ride. The coaster portion is too short. -
Star Flyer for Martin's Fantasy Island
sam06pr replied to larrygator's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Those types of ride make me crap my pants. I got on the one at Magical midway in Orlando and I was screaming like a little baby. This ride is cool and terrifying. Who makes these rides? These are a good fit for small parks -

The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread

Well if BGA does not want to please me with a coaster in 2009, then please me with a nice flat ride ride! But it is just a rumor so hopefully we do get a coaster in 2009 -
Worst Coaster Ever?
sam06pr replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% of the time with Texas Giant at SFOT. That thing is a piece of crap. I saw a sign that said it was voted #1 for some year, but I really do not understand how. That thing should be destroyed and be replaced with an Intamin Woodie -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
sam06pr replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
ugh! re theme Timbuktu to sesame????? I hope this is a wild rumor. I know that last year when Pygmy Village was removed there was a rumor going on saying that they were going to put one of the kiddie rides (from Pygmy village) in the Timbuktu area but it never happen. Maybe this could be it. But I don't want sesame street invading TBT. I rather it invade LOD. -

sam06pr replied to dubaidave's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is what probably what Walt Disney imagine as being the world of tomorrow, just not in Dubai. I really am impressed and amazed at these models. I just do not think they should of gone too big. Here they are building and building, spending and spending, gaining and gaining, while people around the world are dying out of hunger, diseases, etc, and here is this lace not really caring for others. This is just going to make this place more rich that what it is. I do love the theme for some of the attractions, I wish we could see more of that here in the states -
