Lagoon Discussion Thread
KBrylczyk replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
"Facts" I'm only slightly kidding. I know things have leaked here and there but who's to know what is real and what it rumor? I appreciate the research but until there's an official announcement I take it with a grain of salt. Anyways, thanks for those pics! It looks basically untouched from my visit in July but you managed to poke around more than I did and found that tunnel section. Can't wait to see what they unveil! -
^ They don't have the real estate to devote a swath of land to one ride. Silver Bullet was placed into the area it's in beautifully. It interacts with the other rides, landscape, and pathways very well. Any other large coaster in Knott's' future will be the same way because it's what they're required to do with what they have. If you wanna talk about dumping coasters on concrete, look at Magic Mountain. Scream, Goliath, Colossus, all dumped into the parking lot. Riddler and Batman dumped into open land. Tatsu and Iron Dragon (EDIT - I meant Ninja because I'm dumb) are the only coasters there I can think of that are designed with the park's landscape in mind. If you ask me I prefer when rides and coasters aren't dumped into a flattened area. They carry much more character when they've been molded to the needs of the park rather than the park just gutting areas to put something there.

^^ And RIDE drastically different. The only difference between Intimidator and Fury will be different locations for the train to shudder. -
Carowinds Discussion Thread

I'm torn on wing coasters. They can be fantastic ride when done right (Raptor) or decent yet lackluster ride when done wrong (Wild Eagle). It's all about the themeing and close calls on those rides. Anyway, as for Fury 325, solid "meh" from me. I've yet to ride a B&M hyper/giga that excites me. Apollo and Nitro are fun but they're also the first foray into the territory. Every similar B&M since has been either boring, rough, forceless, or any combination of the three. I'll get back to Carowinds eventually but this will not make it a priority.
