In Denver will the former elitch Gardens possibly come back to another part of Denver in a close suburb or will it be gone for good?

Well since the Mack powersplash and supersplash is pretty much overseas do you think the next step will be to bring this new water ride concept over to the U.S? Infinity Falls might be a start of new raft type styled water ride that we will see in other US parks. Because the flume water ride concept seems to be still popular. You think they will stick with the shoot the rapids styled flume ride even though it doesn’t exist anymore?

Well since we saw Infinity Falls open at SeaWorld Orlando and the mackpower splash at Walibi Belgium like 2 years ago it definitely tells us that the end of water rides at dry parks isn’t totally over. I think when we see the log flumes and shoot the chute rides finally fade away for good except for the classic flumes like splash mountain, journey to Atlantis, Jurassic Park the ride, then maybe some interest will bring back a new generation of dry water rides with MackSplash/SuperSplash already having the latest invention. Heck they can bring back a very tall pilgrims plunge type of water ride back but try building the ride with great quality so hopefully it won’t have to close down so quickly like shoot the rapids did at Cedar Point. Shoot the rapids still surprises me only being their like 2 years. Maybe Intamin wasn’t the right company to create a water ride for cedar point. I still think that it’s their and wanted to ride it but oh well.

So you think the water rides will be back in a whole new way in the future but probably have a different design like a Mack powersplash or supersplash with a coaster track instead? Infinity Falls raft ride I think we will see more raft water rides like that I’m pretty sure. An old log flume can be replaced with a newer version of a aqua water coaster I believe that is from overseas though their isn’t a new one here in the U.S. The best flume rides I can think of at any theme parks here in the United States are, Jurassic Park:The Ride now closed at USH but still open st Universal Orlando IOA as the JP River Adventure, Splash Mountain-Disney World & Disneyland, Journey to Atlantis-SeaWorld Parks, Timber Mountain which I think is at Knott’s Berry Farm, Bugs Bunny Log Flume I believe is at Six Flags Fiesta Texas Still, Escape From Pompeii at BGW, Matterhorn bobsleds at Disney Parks I guess you can consider that a very greatly themed water coaster, Dudley Do Right & Ripsaw Falls lastly at IOA, so yea those are the best water flume rides in the USA I can think of if I have left anything out let me know. But if you think since the existence of these water rides are still their why won’t they start planning a new design for water rides at dry parks in the coming years & beyond?

Ok all I was really asking since it is the topic I started really I should rephrase if they are looking into that’s if they’re looking into creating a new type of water ride for a dry park is MackPower Splash, SuperSplash the next generation of water rides at dry parks? Shoot the rapids at CP didn’t close for high maintenance I don’t think it was because their was an accident causing the boat to go backwards on the lift hill.

Ok but if the cost is affordable even though it is still high maintenance is their a slight chance that the future could be still good for newer water rides at dry parks. That’s if the money is their.

Most water rides at dry parks are fading away but their are few that still remain like the classic log ride/flume type, splashdown rides seems to be fading, raging rapids raft rides still seem to be hanging on as a popularity with Infinity Falls opening in late 2018 at SeaWorld Orlando. But their was once in the early 2010’s a comeback of water rides just a little bit starting of with shoot the rapids flume ride at cedar point by Intamin. The ride design seemed really cool. It had 2 drops and some great theming with water flowing down rocks. Unfortunately this flume ride did not last very long and closed down in a couple of years. Then perilous plunge came actually before shoot the rapids and pilgrims plunge at holiday world taking water rides at dry parks to new heights. Making them about 150+ft tall and a very steep drop. The elevator lift on pilgrims plunge seems terrifying as it seemed like the elevator lifted you up on side and the other you can just see the ground as you went up higher. Pilgrims Plunge and Perilious Plunge which was at Knotts Berry Farm no longer exist anymore sadly. I thought this was a start of something cool with water rides at dry parks. Now you see a few years ago at walilbi Belgium a water ride/coaster called Pulsar seems really cool and uniquely designed. With a big splash at the end. It reminds you of Superman the escape at Six Flags Ohio than renames I believe possessed and relocated to Dorney Park. It really does suck that most of these types of water rides are disappearing does this mean it’s the end of water rides at dry parks expect for the rapids raft rides like Infinity Falls? Or will see a new generation future built type of water rides like flumes, tall splashdown rides, splash battle interactive dark rides, and raft rides in the near future? Powersplash and supersplash seem to be the lastest shoot the chute/water coaster overseas. Not sure if that will be brought over to the United States.
