The pictures from the vr app are being rendered in real time by a phone. That's why they look like that, it's not a pre-made movie or picture. -

So is Raptor's cobra roll right by the start of the lift and the turn into the MCBR? -

RMC beast would be the best ride on earth. -
To resist the inertia of the trains in angular motion would require electromagnets of insane strength. Not feasible at all.

Clearly real to me. I don't think anyone would go through the trouble of faking a custom printed google cardboard. Looks like a pretty standard dive machine to me, which are good rides. -

If shockwave was a sit down with lap bars, coaster fans would never stop talking about what a hidden gem it is. The restraints really killed it. -

Shockwave's first drop in the back is amazing. The rest would be fun without all the punches to the ribcage. -

A flyer is not very likely. It is ten times as likely as a hyper though. -

Looks awesome, but weirdly similar to Lightning Run at first glance. -

A B&M hyper would fit in great, but an Intamin would be too similar to I305. New in 2017! The tallest...second tallest coaster in the park. The longest... second longest coaster.. It also has no loops!... Well.. Wait 'till you hear about the capacity! -

Y'all crazy if you think a hyper is the best choice for the park. -

They could (and probably will) take out Flying Ace and BR Tollway for a large new coaster. The plaza, station, and lift/launch could be in Shockwaves's spot while the rest of the coaster is in the rest of the space. y'all really are dreaming. this park has I305, Volcano, Flight of Fear, and Dominator. . and you think they will put in ANOTHER "big" coaster? if anything, the park is missing a "big" woodie, and that won't happen until Hurler/Grizzly go, and get a large one in that spot. I could very well be mistaken, and we shall see -- I'm just guessing just like everyone else -- but what's coming are a couple of flats (or possibly a re-positioning of the Mouse, with something big going in the old mouse spot). certainly not another "big" coaster tho. edit: sorry I'm cranky. . I've had a tough day at work. Y'all go ahead and keep thinking of stuff, it's all in fun anyways. A big coaster would be in the works if CF believed it would generate higher attendance, which isn't unreasonable. BGW now has more major thrill rides than KD, so they may want to stay competitive. "What the park needs" or "is missing" or anything else is relatively unimportant. As for space, I doubt that's a serious limiting factor. Coasters can be squeezed into strange places. That said, it could be anything, but with Windseeker, the waterpark, and snoopy installed it seems like they could do another thrill ride. -

Seems like a great spot for something like a batman sfft clone. -

The radius of the turn was not changed at all. The modification begins halfway through the turn anyways, a change in the radius would mean that the new track wouldn't line up with the hill it connects to. Before: After: -

It's the transition from the first turn into the first airtime hill. The turn used to stay flat with the ground until it pulled up to the hill. Now, it starts to rise up about halfway through the turn, before it connects with the hill. -

I posted this same Idea a few months ago, although not with the racing. This would totally complete the park's coaster lineup, the perfect attraction on that end of the park perfectly complimenting windseeker. The XLC area could be the new entrance and queue. They could use topper if they wanted a wooden angle. It would be pretty marketable too, as the longest wooden on the east coast, or most inversions, or anything. Other than that, a Batman SFFT or YOLOcoaster type "gimmick" ride would do well there, very marketable. The worlds largest loop around a park entrance would be captivating, especially next to Dominator's giant loop. Surely we'll get a family friendly beemer though, a wingrider seems like the surest bet. The ride could be called "Fury". It would start with the Grizzly part with a blue track and be about the banked turns. Then it could go through the Hurler part and switch to a purple track and be about inversions and airtime, then a grand finale returning to the Grizzly station. The whole thing would be a good 6,000 feet long or so. Oh and it would have two lift hills and four inversions. While I am drooling over this idea, you guys are smoking something if you think this would ever happen. No, just imagining out loud, I don't think that's out of character with the thread as it is . I do think the "gimmick coaster" idea is sensible though, especially since it wouldn't cost B&M type money and wouldn't take up much room. -

The middle of the train is nearly as good as the back IMO. It gives the most sustained air on the third hill, and it's still pretty strong. Not a bad seat on the train. -

That doesn't sound sensible. A park's budget should be based on a well researched projection of ROI. -

Dominator is good, but if you're a regular at the park, there's a good chance you will get bored of it. -
IOA was $1,000,000,000, right? Not including the cost of the land.

Next year is 6 years since i305.
