I just registered! Please count me in the group! It would be cool to hang out with all of you. and im madd close to the parks because i live in metrowest

Looks awesome! The sensation from a drop like that already makes me tingle Now I'll really have to go to Holiday World!

It is a "good" idea for tourists in the busy season; but that's about the only people it will benefit in that time. Any other time, the ride's lines (if any) is really quick, especially Kraken; and you can still get a good spot for the shows. I personally think they're copying Universal's Express Plus ticket to get some extra 'dough'.

It's amazing how such good looking little parks are rarely heard of! I would love to go to this park now that I've seen these great pictures.

Thanks for your opinions everybody! It helps a lot mcjaco - I don't think I'm spamming. I'm not sending or telling people to go anywhere. I want people to reply right here in the forums. That's just my signature at the bottom. I don't want to break any rules.

New thread on Orlando's Best Ride --> http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45536

I'm doing this survey because I'm going to make a video showing off the best Orlando has to offer, in HD! The polls will close as soon as I have a solid top 10 (ten). The rides can be from any of the following parks: -Magic Kingdom -Epcot -Hollywood Studios -Animal Kingdom -Islands of Adventure -Universal Studios -Sea World -Busch Gardens Which do you think is the BEST ride? THANKS!

^ actually.....thats true, dude < cant wait to get my Canon XH-A1! V wants to get a Canon XH-A1

Its finally announced! All of the rumors check out true. But what I'm disappointed in is that Sea World isn't going to bring a real manta ray . That would have been amazing to see. I've seen one before at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas and it was mesmerizing.

In the ride's defense, it was AWESOME! I rode it yesterday three times and had a blast. The 3-D screens are actualy really well done and realistic and entertaining. Never a dull moment. I was surprised as well, though, when I finally saw what it was, BUT it was a pleasant surprise and still soo much fun. Better than Buzz Lightyear and Men In Black for sure!

In one of the pictures it shows some pretty fun 'bunny hops'! Air time heaven! Anyone know how much zero-G time the coaster has?

True... but that could be towards the end of the ride as a way to slow it down, like SheiKra. And i just noticed in the concept art that its going to pass right next to a waterfall, with the riders 'hitting' the waterfall. AWESOME!

I'm SUPER excited for Manta to open up. The rumors for such a concept have been floating around for a while. I'm glad to hear that it's all true . I wonder if Sea World is going to bring actual manta rays for the exhibit portion, or just put bat rays or more sting rays??? I'll definitely find out!

WOW! That Six Flags has a lot more coasters than I thought. Excellent photo angles. Six Flags should build a park here in Orlando!

That looks really intense!!! SWEET! I wonder how may G's its going to pull?

90 degrees or not, it still looks and sounds awesome. It would be cool if inside the volcano you would see "lava", and if it heated inside also, so that when you come out and splash down, it feels more refreshing!

Awesome pictures! You should be Cedar Point's photographer; or you could sell them some of your pictures because they are soo clear and amazingly close. Same question as above^????

I personally like this park a lot. Not only for its great theming, and not because it's a Disney park, but I genuinely like the rides. To be honest, it's been a while since I've been there, but still remember the slides, especially Summit Plummet (the really tall body slide). That was an amazing rush that no other water park offers. Typhoon Lagoon, Wet n' Wild, nor the new Aquatica water parks have a ride like that that's that tall. I definitely recommend it!

That looks like an AWESOME park! Especially the 'wild mouse' coaster. I've never seen one to go so fast or so high before. I would love to see a full POV. OR, make a coaster like that in Orlando! LOL

I'm really happy to see the old color scheme of pink and yellow go! I think those are terrible and ugly colors to put together. Red and black looks a lot stonger and better for a big-time coaster. And, is it me, or do the new trains look a bit unfinished? It is not as covered-up as the old trains. Still looks good though!

Completely agree with what has been said (Elissa and Jew). But I don't believe it is going to close because there is always people there! It is in a perfect location for tourists; and the locals, at least the younger crowd, always goes there, not to a Disney waterpark. The park itself, in my opinion, is a pretty good and fun park. I only wonder how it is going to stand up against Aquatica! That should be interesting.

^ Completely agree! I would love to go through those curves at high speeds. It looks very smooth and fast. Reminds me of Maverick at Cedar Point.

^Touche'!

^ Maybe they can implement a Mickey voice-over in the DS. Anythings' possible! (That is actually an excellent idea! Along with all the info, have fun facts about the attractions, with Mickey reading them out too you )

^ I have the Canon Rebel XT, and it works perfect. I'm very happy with it. I just have to play with the settings in order to get a shot like rabid disney's Illumination's shot.
