Not sure what can be missed about the Jungleish Theming and Name of Cannibal. True, but they're suppose to have a "special surprise" about this new coaster. Whatever that might be. I think it has something to do with the lift, maybe? No idea. People say it could be a drop in the lift, something in the layout, or I've even heard it could just be a special deal of some sort. Honestly, they could even be on-ride photos for all we know since their aren't any at Lagoon anymore. For construction updates, lagoonisfun.com has quite a few, especially since the tower has been topped off about a week or so ago. Great! -

I hope we'll be hearing some more news about this new coaster soon! I'm ready to learn more about the theme of the ride. -
Photo Trip Report: Wild Adventures Theme Park! September 13, 2014: Hola! I drove all the way from Alabama to come to this small theme park in Valdosta, GA for the first time EVER!. Since I already bought tickets online, I decided to take a trip before they expired. And that's what I set out to do! Let me start out by saying this small theme park was G.R.E.A.T! I wasn't expecting all the extra fun and excitement from this park! Don't get me wrong, I knew it was going to be exciting, but I really did have an ADVENTURE! I recommend this theme park to all theme park junkies such as myself! *Roller Coasters: Twisted Typhoon: One of the GREATEST coasters in the world! This was my first SLC and I was prepared for a rough ride, but I was proved wrong! To be honest, this coaster was smooth! I know many people don't show love toward SLCs because of roughness and jerkiness, but I really enjoyed the ride. But I will admit it scared the HECK out of me because I thought my legs were going to hit the supports. TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT! Overall, it was a fantastic ride! Swamp Thing: It's just your basic family vekoma suspended coaster. Fun ride, but I just wanted the credit. Cheetah: SMOOTH! FUN! EXCITING! This coaster was down right amazing! A must ride! Boomerang: Typical boomerang coaster, but this one in particular gave me a good boost of adrenaline. Weird, but true. Go Bananas!: Nice family coaster. I love how these coasters whip you from side to side so quickly! Ant Farm Express: I'll admit it was fun for a kiddie coaster, but I just wanted the credit. Viking Voyage: Sit in the front and you'll see why this coaster is scary, yet a good ride! I loved it! *Thrill Rides: Firecracker: Well, it's very small compared to all the others I've been on. It has a short ride time. But I rode it because it was in the movie Zombieland. LOL! Rattler: All I'm going to say: WEIGHTLESSNESS! RIDE IT! *Family Ride: Safari Train: It provided a nice little ride seeing new animals I haven't seen before! It can't be compared to Disney's Animal Kingdom safari ride, but it was nice! *Other attraction: Alapaha Trail: Nice walk thorugh attraction seeing animals. It's a must do! Now it's time for pictures! I made it! I see something on the lift! What could it be? I'm loving the sign! Just a random picture! I'm so happy to be here! I see you! Such a fun ride! Isn't something missing? ButterFly Garden!!!! Important fact! I just had to touch the tree! I didn't ride this unfortunately. But I should have. This ride had some cool themes to it! Your typical boomerang coaster! This boomerang though gave me a much needed boost of adrenaline! View across the lake! Get Your Congo Wings Here! A tiger? I loved it! Amazing view! It's a wooden coaster! What's the name? Cheetah! That's the name! The ride didn't open until later that afternoon, but when it did, I must say I had a GREAT SMOOTH RIDE! So many people bash the SLCs because they're rough and jerky. Well, you're wrong! This was my first SLC and I loved it! It was SMOOTH! But I will admit that it scared the HECK out of me because I thought my long legs were going to hit the supports! Station. SCARY! BUT FUN! Sadly, I didn't ride this. That's one reason why! Closed for the season. I wanted to try this, but I was too busy riding coasters! OMG! THIS WAS PURE WEIGHTLESSNESS! LOVED IT! A little theme to go with the ride. I rode this for Zombieland! This park is so photogenic! I give this park a thumbs up! I see you across the lake Cheetah! After riding many Windeseekers at Cedar Fair parks and Sky Screamers at Six Flags parks, this ride doesn't come close! It's a nice family ride! I'll admit to that! Nice walking trail featuring animals! It's a great way to cool off during the heat! Welcome to Jurassic World! So pretty! Something for the kiddies! A picture I took on the safari train ride. And this one! Look close and you can see the heart! And that one! Swans! They weren't part of the train ride. They were just grooming themselves by the lake in the middle of the park. Looking sexy Boomerang! I came a day before La Fiesta. I don't want to leave! Once again, I give this park a thumbs up! I had a great day!

SWEET MERCY! I thought Thunderbird and Fury 325 was amazing, but this is going to be AMAZING! -
I'm really excited about this new dark ride. I haven't been to this park yet, but I'll be sure to visit next year. I don't get all the hate about this new addition. I think it's going to be the "little brother" version of Men In Black: Alien Attack at Universal. The new special effects, scenery, and etc. is going to be off the charts. The POV from Movie World is amazing, and I know this dark ride is going to draw major crowds. We all just have to wait and see what to expect.

So, I wonder should I ride Intimidator before getting on Fury325? -

It seems as if 2015 can't get here any sooner. But I'll be patient. . .For now! -

This ride is definitely going to be AMAZING! I know it's going to kick major butt regardless. I guess everybody is expecting airtime, hills after hills, and etc. As long as this coaster provides a great ride, I'm good. -

Um... it is NOT a "must have" for this ride. Just be smart and you'll get on this ride really quickly. True, but I was told the same thing about Knott's Berry Farm as well. "Oh, it's slow today. You don't need a fast lane." I walked around the park and the shortest line was 45mins! I bought it anyway, and finished the park in a few hours! It's worth it, trust me. -

Well, I been at work mostly all the day, and the conversation still hasn't change much. Let's move on. Who's buying the Fast Lane Plus for this ride? It's going to be a "must have" for this ride. -
