apollo210 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 ^Great! Maybe if I go to San antonio and if JTA is open (I'm becoming a credit whore) then I might check this place out! And great to here that the area is gettign refurbished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Actually as of operating Nitro if you think the ride times are long figure this. 30-45 seconds of load unload time is accounted in say Nitro's nearly 3 minute long experience in our hand book. 1 minute or less for the lift. 1 minute some odd seconds for the ride experience itself and from the brakes in is part of the ride time. Its rediculous. Is there a concept art for this ride yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfan101 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 There is one concept art on the Sea World website and another one that will show what the are will look like when the ride is completed. --cpfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Is it just me, or are the Journey to Atlantis rides getting worse? I'm sure the ride will be great, but they seem to have gone downhill in design and theming since the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen18 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 /\ yeah many including I agree with that. I just thought they did a great job with the first one that something like this is dissapointing. Im sure itll be fun but its not journey to atlantis...

DallasAlvey Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 That's cool it sounds really fun. Although I agree that it doesn't look as good as Florida's atlantis. It pretty much looks like San Diego's atlantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I agree the newer version doesn't look as well detailed as the Florida version but the layout/unique elements were definately there. I for one, would rather see a Supersplash in the US than a clone of the Orlando ride. Embrace the idea of original rides with identical names!

Gnome Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Anyone else slightly disappointed? It just seems like every time we get a new Journey it's 'dumbed down' a bit more! SWO - Majorly themed Dark Ride Sections, Big Log Flume Drop, Big Coaster Drop SWSD - No Dark Ride at all, Same Log Flume Drop, 2 Coaster Drops SWSA - Splash down boat. Yes, I liked Supersplash at Europa Park, but it's nothing more than a splashdown boat. Even though the dark ride effects were cool, I just was not feeling the story. IT was a little to "fairy like" And the coaster part itself was not very good. For whats its worth, I'd take the SWSD coaster over the SWO one anyday. Though I'm probably very much in the minority on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultracoasters Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Sebio from Ameworld forum post few pics of the ride,.... in Europe This pics was taken yesterday in the Mack german factory, Waldkirch. Click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfan101 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Those are some pretty cool pictures. I like the colors. I tried to translate some stuff. Basically it said that they could tell the pics were for the ride by the colors of the track and concept art. --David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 When I saw the concept art to Journey to Atlantis I thought "It's not much of a trip." I've ridden the other two and I liked the original because of the theming involved in it. The one in san diego was fine but it didn't have the same feel to it as the Florida version. Sure it had different elements but i felt the ride could be longer if you're going to scrimp on story. I think the florida version will get you wetter; maybe it's because it's warmer down here and getting soaked in San Diego and then the temp dropping at night would not be a good feeling. They probably should have named this ride something else and it would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCoaster Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I know there have been some comments about the decline of the theme between the versions of JTA, and when I first saw the renderings for the San Antonio ride, I was a bit disappointed. After thinking about it some more, I think I almost like the new design better than the San Diego version. After all of the work they put in the Florida version, the San Diego version looks like a bunch of painted grain silos with some coaster track. I think the are trying a different approach here because the San Diego version wasn't as successful as the designers had hoped. Instead of paying to theme up, hopefully the rest of the surrounding area will get some nice theming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 yeah i also thought Atlantis was kinda great chute when i saw that pov since lotsa effects gotta make us more scream plus good thin' that's got huge twisted drops! for even thrill seekers i guess that's worth ridin' on! or guys wanna get soaked over 'em should give it a shot and make 'em happy! weeee..... just scream out loud at fall!

thomas2 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was also dissapointed by Atlantica Supersplash at Europa Park. That drop seems cooler than it actually is The backwards part did caught me by surprise though. Never expected that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterferg Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hey everyone, My sister who works at Seaworld as an animal care specialist was able to take a few photos of the construction of Journey to Atlantis and I'd thought I'd share (I'm so nice, I know). You can get a good view of the turntable in a couple of the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterferg Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 ^ Well I'm not sure she could get you a penguin...Seaworld kind of has a "no smuggling animals out of the park" policy. I know, its ridiculous! Maybe she could take you backstage to play with them though...you'd just make sure you watch our for their projectile poop!

Satoshi Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 looks like the ride is going to mimic some parts of Kraken and the color is really freaking same to SW Floorless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 looks like the ride is going to mimic some parts of Kraken and the color is really freaking same to SW Floorless! Wow, you are right, i really love Kraken's splash down. This looks sort of boring. Definately seems like the worst of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
