PoisonedPirate Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 There is only one problem with this whole ride: These Guests will then be encouraged to scream / laugh into these funnels. Which will cause the sides of these cannisters to light up and reveal how much energy was just gathered. There is no way I can survive queuing for half hour + (hell even 15 minutes) with people screaming into cannisters the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 And it's from Jim Hill, so this is a rumor. This rumors been floating around for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterWarriors Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Sounds like the Peter Pan attraction at MK but on coaster track. I don't see this going all that fast. Maybe under 10mph. Its going to be for kids. Basically i think it will be an inverted Dark ride where you go through different rooms and see monsters at work makeing kids in bed laugh. Im sure this will be a very popular ride and WDI never lets me down it what they create but this will not be anything more than a kiddie coaster and if they want you to acually see the rooms then the ride could not possible go more than 10mph. 10 mph? You're right that it is going to be slow but fun ride but 10 mph? Nah... I am thinking more like 20 and I don't know who will be building this coaster at this point. If it is going to be like Vekoma Model such as Rugrats Runaway Reptar like at Carowinds/Kings Island... that's about 1 minute and 30 seconds... I think there will be about the same time with some extension such as some pause time for some "laughter" show. I definite see it as a dark ride/inverted coaster... This must be a first inverted coaster/dark ride? Am I wrong? If not, I'm interested to know other indoor inverted coaster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'll say it again. This is from Jim Hill. It is a rumor. I'll beleive it when someone posts a legit announcement from Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If this rumor is true, it is a much better idea than the rumored, fun, but ultra low capacity for a disney park rethemed Crush's coaster clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCoasterny Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Nah... This ride from Mack would be a better pick for the Monster Inc. coaster ride. Better speed control and a more consistent ride that would make the Disney managers happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterWarriors Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I could see how this ride would be workable for Disney! Sweet! I'm hoping this is a real news, not another rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The only thing that can be confirmed is that Jim Hill is full of himself....among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I don't know all the Jim Hill drama... I DO know that Vekoma and Disney are VERY happy in bed together right now and there has been a lot of talk that with the new restraints on the Vekoma Kiddie Suspendeds Disney has been trying to find a way to get one in the park. Again, if Disney does it at all like Crush (little dark ride portion, then coaster portion) I'm sure this will be a great little ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterWarriors Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Vekoma and Disney... That's sound a little naughty... Disney is suppose to give us pleasure and magic moments while vekoma gives us hell at the most part. Don't get me wrong. I like Vekoma which they are not too bad. I do prefer B & M so far. I wonder if this will be true. DSI team are very creative and I hope this will allow them to generate ideas and hit it with a bang for their 40th anniversary!

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If this does fall into fabrication, I hope to see an Anaheim version. The Monsters, Inc. now is, "I'd ride it, butif I don't no spilled milk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^^ Expedition Everest is a Vekoma, and that ride is smooth sailing all the way through. I really hope this ride isn't too kid oriented though... but if it is, I'm pretty sure the theming is going to be GREAT. So that makes up for it.

CoasterWarriors Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^ Oh that's right! How could I forgotten Expedition Everest !? It has been 4 years since I have been at Walt Disney World. I need some Magic refill soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny In England Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I found a picture supporting a coaster at Alton Towers. The design is bigger than anything there and I doubt it'll see the light of day, if it's real. The park's height restriction would surely interfere with a plan of this scale. Regardless, here it is. Sorry for horrible size/quality. Supposed Plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ^^That's because the guide wheels sit outside of the rail instead of inside, like all their previous trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The Jim Hill "drama" is about the fact he has a track record of making stuff up. The example that stands out to me is when he wrote an article about BTTF that my friend's dad, who was the guy in charge of the project, laughed at because it was so inaccurate...

Imagineer100 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/park-ride-construction/47171-dollywood-2009-a.html I don't know how many people have accounts to this site as I know I don't because for some reason it won't let me make one but they have a forum for what is happening at good ole Dollywood in the next couple years. Just for more feedback what do you guys think is coming to the Smoky's next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagineer100 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I hope it's a Screamin Swing but from the hints from Pete Owens on that forum it doesn't seem likely. For 2010 a Maverick style ride would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rct3man777 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 There's a rumor lagoon will get an "X-car custom" from maurer sohne. So far, none of those have been built yet, but they do have an example layout on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I can't remember where I heard it, but I caught a listen somewhere that Valleyfair would get a B&M invert in either 09 or 10. Sad that they can still sell the inverts, but not a single stand up has moved since 99! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Uh oh, Snoopy is missing! What could they possibly be getting at by doing this? Link. Where's Snoopy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 GADV might get a B&M dive machine in 2009 in the section by the old Chiller site. There is enough room! I know this sign says that the parade comes through here but those buildings & Stuntman's Free Fall's sections are just there & taking up space. They can wreck Chiller's old station & queue & exit lines which are still there. That will give GADV plenty of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
