Question--how does the length of Cheetah Hunt compare to BGT's other coasters? Pretty unusual for a rocket coaster, but it looks like it could be the longest coaster in the park besides Gwazi!

Amazing pictures! Can't believe they're already onto the Figure Eight Element. I love the supports--the angles are very neat.

Europa Park looks so beautiful! You're pictures show so many details I've never seen before.

Thanks! Time will only tell if there will be a ride that will triumph Spelunker. Currently I cannot fathom how designers could ever come up with something taller than 200 ft or so! A POV may come for the rides during a later season.

haha... I guess not much from "Cheetah Hunt" eh?

I agree, I hope the Mack launched Coaster goes to Sea World with some great theming over water with a partially indoor section... maybe a revisited "Reef Runner." It would give me a good reason to go to Sea World and I bet they would execute it nicely. As for Knotts... Well I hope for another Wooden Coaster. I'd love to see the Boardwalk return to its Roaring Twenties theme, a GCI or GG dueling wooden called "Dog Fight" would work nicely in the Plunges old location in a reworked area that could also include the removal of Boomerang for extra space. Kind of two dogs with one stone--Boomerang leaves, and Knotts gets a new roller coaster along with a return to the emphasis on theming days.

/\ well said. I would more likely carve out a day out of Disney and Universal if the park replaced the 3 Vekoma's with a quality wooden coaster.

Yeah.. fixed!

I'd love to see that happen, personally, as long as they build it so as to "balance out" the Orlando version. I'd like to see Diagon Alley instead of Hogsmead just to be different, it could blend in well with the already tight city streets on the upper lot, then lead obviously to Hogwarts. I'd also like to see an alternative version of Forbidden Journey--not better, not worse, but with different scenes. If they do something like that, it could compliment the East Coast version, rather than take potentials away. In addition, the hilly scenery of Universal Hollywood would make for a nice backdrop for the Castle and Scottish landscape, something that the current WWOHP was unable to have due to spacial constraints.

The ride roster really just doesn't seem to have much thought to me. As stated before, what good is a SLC when there's Dueling Dragons next door and Montu further up. Same with the Stingray. I guess I also have a difficult time imagining some of these rides--a 430 ft. INVERTED rocket coaster seems a little too far fetched to be true. And same goes for the Mack launch coaster--as nice as it sounds, is it really going to draw people in when Cheetah Hunt will be located at another park an hour away, along with a bunch of other BETTER version of attractions proposed for the Orlando Thrill Park. In my opinion, they should try something much more unique. The ZacSpin is nice, but even that is the shorter model. I'm not too sure how S&S will execute the 4th Dimension Coaster--it may be the parks only high point. Instead the park should have been built rides that can't be found in the Orlando area. The park does sound like it may be enjoyable for a day, but I still don't see it succeeding. Busch Garden's coaster collection already looks better than this and the theming is way more enjoyable than the "Thrill" theming. Sometimes, while reading interviews, I truly feel like they are saying things to be cute, but it really does sound stupid to me, take "no theming" for example. I agree, as well, the park is really missing a hyper coaster, its one of the rides that you CAN'T find in Orlando.

I still think this park will fail. This guy doesn't seem to have a sound plan, and the park has nothing unique about it. I, for one, can find all the rides they listed, if not better rides, in my homepark. And assuming there are eight roller coasters, HALF the ride will be Vekoma's!? The park really should focus on quality instead of quantity. All the rides seem, like Knotts, to last a very short period of time. Even the ZacSpin will be the smaller model. The only ride that looks of interest to be is the Blue Fire clone, assuming the layout on the park map is accurate. Anyway, it seems like all the rides are clones.

/\It DOES say they neither took the Singapore Air picture nor the Denver airport picture...

The girls are from panama which leads me to think South America or Central America. (Six Flags Mexico!?) Although the Japanese Flag picture's URL is awfully suspicious.

I really do think Intiman has it worked out, that's why they're the one designing roller coasters, not you and me.

Oh wow... that ride really does look massive! Thanks for the pictures and information. Too bad its currently delayed, although I hope for Great America that it happens one day.

So I always here on the forums about a California Great America GCI and even read somewhere that a layout was released. I searched for a while and couldn't find very much information on this highly rumored attraction whose layout was apparently leaked as well. I was just wondering if anyone here could tell/ show me a little about this project. thanks.

The box in the bottam corner says something about "guests in the hexagon room are directed out the VIP entrance." I'm not sure what instance that would refer to other than an evac but I'm not exactly sure.

Very cool. As a Disney geek, I absolutely love this stuff. ;D Is the sixth Space Mountain picture an e-vac route?

Could anyone edit a photo of it with labels of different parts? That picture is ridiculously confusing! Once complete, it will be a spagetti bowl of five tracks.

Intiman's always great, but keep the time period in mind.

That certainly would make up for the loss of BBW! I'd imagine a longer version of the Blue Fire pre-launch, if this is true.

yes they can... Peep Review Our first day went great! 1200 (rct3) peeps came to the park for opening day, creating very long lines for some of the biggest attractions. We interviewed a few peeps today and got very helpful responses! Drake and Fiona both were very excited to come to Twisted Oak's grand reopening--they made a pilgrimage from San Francisco just to be here for opening day. Some of their thoughts included "Coming through!" "This park is really tidy" "I'm stressed" and "The shame." The next group we interviewed asked for their identities to be kept secret. Some of their thoughts included "Where are all the rides?" Watch the birdy.." You little terror!" "Blanche F makes me happy" and "You've got your thumb over the lens." *Note: all thoughts are actual thoughts from the game... I have absolutely no idea what some of these mean. :-\ Here's an overall sample of the guests thoughts: As you can see peeps really enjoyed the park, however there is still room for improvements. Hope you enjoyed that "fun" break from the regular updates. Now its your turn: What is your favorite roller coaster? Non-roller coaster attraction? What does the park lack? What roller coaster would you like to see in the future (remember the time period). Anything else worth mentioning? Please Comment and Enjoy!

/\I was thinking of an event building Festhaus nearby

Maybe... or is it even a coaster??
