TheArchfiend Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Has anyone looked at those pictures of the vehicles under the tarp? I can't think of anything else they would be other than some sort of Aqua Trax-like vehicle. Compare this: http://www.pointpixels.com/4images/details.php?image_id=8212 To this: http://www.rcdb.com/ig1646.htm?picture=21 --Robb ^^^ Nope, no one has posted them yet. I think you should go ahead and post the link BeemerBoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black562 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^^^That concept drawing must not exist since not one single picture or link to it has been posted here yet. Surely if it did exist it would be in the first post of the first page and in several other additional posts throughout this thread. But, I've yet to see it anwhere. What are you talking about...its been posted many times. http://www.screamscape.com/assets/images/db_images/db_Maverick_firstlook11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I don't know if anyone's seen this pic of the aquatrax cars under the black tarp on a flatbed truck arriving at Cedar Point which was posted back on page 231, but here's a link to the pic of the aquatrax cars covered by a tarp on a flatbed truck arriving at Cedar Point. http://pointpixels.com/4images/details.php?image_id=8212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Why do people keep saying it's an Aquatrax?!? Seriously, have you ny brains at all? Cedar Point wouldn't build a stupid water coaster, this is gonna be good!! I'm thinking something like Rita only longer with more inversions. It CAN'T be an aquatrax because 1. The track is RED, not white or blue! 2. There's no WATER. I'd bet eleventy-thousand-billion dollars that it isn't an aquatrax. All you aquatrax people will be sorry when they announce it in a couple days. You'll look so silly because you said it was an aquatrax. How could you be so stupid with an issue so important to our country right now. If it's an aquatrax, the terrorists win! -James Dillaman You also have to remember that "Aqua Trax" does NOT equal "water coaster." It's just a name for a ride system. For example, Mystery Mine is VERY different from any of the other Euro Fighter installations. SheiKra is very different from the other "Dive Machines." If it's not an "Aqua Trax" or something VERY similar to that ride system I will be very surprised. I can't see this being your typical Intamin rocket coaster using typical rocket coaster trains. Perhaps a hybrid between the two? Maybe. But it that's the case that it uses the smaller cars even if one or two of them are linked together it's still more similar to an Aqua Trax ride system than a rocket. --Robb "And I could care less if I'm right or wrong simply because I really don't care one way or the other!"

Wes Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I know it's sort of late in the game for new theories, but has anyone ever thought that maybe the trains are like Vekoma Booster Bike but themed to horses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^ That would actually be pretty sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^^ Funny as it is, I actually mentioned that theory jokingly, eons ago. However, this thread is out of control beyond belief, and I can't tell if you're serious, or you actually dug that up along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Aren't the Aquatrax cars sort of like that anyway? I always thought the seats were supposed to simulate riding a jetski or something to that effect. And if that's the case, it'd be a piece of cake to theme to horses...I personally don't think it'll be an Aquatrax but just throwing my $.02 in.

ParkTrips Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Isn't it rediculously early for trains to be arriving? BTW I will beat you Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamomatic Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm still thinking this could be a Wingwalker, there are some bits of evidence to suggest this.. Like: - The way the supports, especially in the flat twisty turns, are certainly far away enough to accommodate the Wingwalker trains. I was going to make another point but I forget it now..

SharkTums Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well it pretty much has to be a ball/wing/single/two car train at this point to navigate what's in place. Although I'm still holding out for my giant chicken trains! And Joe, I also thought it was way too early...but heck, I actually give CP credit for having this much done already! Is it possible it could be done BEFORE season starts, and possibly have some testing and bugs out of the way???? I mean I know that's not the way things have been done lately, but it sure would be nice to go back to that again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twister II Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You also have to remember that "Aqua Trax" does NOT equal "water coaster." It's just a name for a ride system. So Colossus at Thorpe Park is an aqua trax. I guess I'm not understanding. From what I am understanding is that there really is not such thing as an Aqua Trax. Colossus probably uses the same system Atlantis Adventure uses too. The only difference would be train size/style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^Um, Atlantis Adventure and Colossus have very different ride systems, layouts, trains, etc. You're right, you really are missing the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go do a little research on what an Aqua Trax is and what Colossus is and you'll see the difference (god, I would HOPE!) --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As true as this is, I must admit that Patriot was finished up quite nicely with minimal bugs weeks before Media Day. I second that vote for giant chicken trains, BTW.
