Svelure Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Did anyone else the Xtreme Waterparks episode on the travel channel that featured Breakers Plunge? I liked the Dave Fraizer interview when he said Valleyfair is improving "little by little" throughout the years. It seems fitting since we are on the topic of the history of Valleyfair. According to the episode though, we have the tallest twin body slides in America!! Woo!! I saw it. I found it weird that vf didn't post anything on social media about it airing. I'm glad I have my dvr set to record xtreme Waterparks whenever it's on it I would have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did a great job, and it was fun to see Valley Fair on one of the shows. Maybe after we get that new coaster, they will come back to do an episode of Extreme Coaster Wars.

They are not making new episodes of Insane Coaster Wars anymore, not sure if it was getting a whole lot of viewers after three seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millertpr Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I saw the new BMX All Wheels Bike show I actually enjoyed it anyone else seen it yet? With some small exceptions, I didn't really enjoy it and thought that there was an overemphasis on some of the show's parts. It is much better at somewhere like Dorney Park where it is indoor with a bunch of lights and cool effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I saw breakers plunge on Extreme Waterparks last night. I did not realize it was the tallest double drop slide in NA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFhauntblog Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Wheel of fortune has been stripped of its gondolas (if that's the proper term to use) I overheard a manager talking to some other people saying their waiting for a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, they really stripped that of everything, the seats, the lights, the theming. Here's a photo for comparison from the park index, they really took off everything.

I also saw that today! I asked an employee and they said it was having Mechanical Issues and is being worked on right now. Hopefully they can get it fixed by the end of the summer season!

SingleRiderWill Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I've always found it weird that Wheel of Fortune requires two people per seat. Sure there must be a good reason. But this prevents me from riding due to I unfortunately make trips to Valleyfair alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do you think something like Beech Bend's new slide complex would be a good fit for Soak City. Maybe it could go where LSS and the sand volleyball area is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millertpr Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes, it is made by ProSlide. No, I think that Valleyfair would be more likely to receive just one large raft slide, along the lines of a ProSlide Tornado or a mat racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Just noticed that Valleyfair started offering an all-season Fast Lane pass for $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_man Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Just noticed that Valleyfair started offering an all-season Fast Lane pass for $75. Maybe, just MAYBE, they're preparing for bigger lines? More coasters = more lines = new coaster soon? Although this theory will probably be shot down and chucked down the toilet, it may be something... and something is better than nothing And I'm aware there is no footer pouring or any construction. yet. And I'm very disappointed about that. New coaster or not, an all season fast lane pass is an actual smart idea by Valleyfail, for once.

Lightning Rod Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I might look into buying a fast lane pass for next year. I'm actually glad Valleyfair is doing this.Ride On!

dboor129 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I also saw that VF was offering an all inclusive day pass where you get admission, fast lane, all day dining, parking, and souvenir cup for something like $99? They probably want to get as much money as they can before the season comes to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA 'Playa Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Do you think something like Beech Bend's new slide complex would be a good fit for Soak City. Wow, no exit pool. Very, very interesting. VF's Soak City lacks tube slides more than anything else (*cough* besides CHAIRS AND SHADE), but I'd say that's not a good fit. We'd need slides that could handle double tubes for capacity's sake. I'd post a pic of SFGAM's Hurricane Mountain (twin two-man toilet bowls, two more double tube slides, two taller dark body slides above that), but I won't. It would only make us very sad. ETA: Forget I typed ANY of that. That thing's damned near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Seems like some users in this thread think that we'll be getting a Triotech dark ride next year, potentially in the Bumper Car building. I wouldn't mind getting one of those, but has there been any actual evidence that it might be happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerColester Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 In MY opinion, the bumper car spot is not a logical place for a dark-tech ride. The Galaxy Theater makes way more sense as a possible building. With the Galaxy Theater you would have so much more room to work with, plus I don't think it's being used for much this year besides showing some movies. It'd be pretty easy to "gut" and have a fresh template to work with. The bumper car building just seems small and cramped, plus it's the bumper cars. Every amusement park needs to have bumper cars! The bumper car building just doesn't make any sense to me for a tech-dark ride. Just my opinion. I believe these tech attractions do cost a fair share of $$$. Spending $10ish million on a tech attraction, only going to delay that coaster even further into the future...

Not really, we're just all purely guessing (myself included) and Screamscape mentioned it at one point. Rumors around Valleyfair have been quiet which honestly leaves things totally up-in-the-air.
