molemaster43 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Now, I thought this was a unique idea, but what if bumper car rides had loudspeakers where the ride op could commentate about who gets hit hard and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 What, exactly, do you mean? Every bumper car ride I've been on has a public address system. It's generally used to let the riders know when the ride is about to start and again when it's going to stop. It is also frequently used to remind the riders that head-on bumping isn't allowed.

JJLehto Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Some of these aren't rumors...though sadly the one in NJ is probably never happening. I'd love an epic woodie on the shore that connects the piers! www.thecoastercritic.com/2012/06/top-6-rumored-2013-roller-coasters.html  As for ideas, I had this one that could never happen unless a park had a states worth of energy dedicated to it.. A jet fighter dueling coaster. The seats would be on the outside like a wing coaster and the tracks would have a "dogfight" with crazy maneuvers and all kinds of stuff. What I was thinking though is a unique launch system, one that could control their speed in unnatural ways. Like accelerate going straight up, or making quick boosts/brakes. Basically like each train had an "engine" like a plane. Not sure I'm explaining it right, but in stead of launch and carry through there'd be launches throughout. Though it'd need insane levels of energy and I'm not smart enough to think of a way that could enable such things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I305KD Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would love Rocky Mountain Coasters to make an Iron Horse coaster with inversions similar to B&M coasters. 100 foot loop, dive loop, zero g roll, and all the other usual elements. Can't forget about a bit of . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of connecting piers is epic and if it does follow that drawing looks like a cool layout. Â Also after 10 years of want I'm going to SFMM next year so they better make that epic maverick terrain coaster!

RCT3Bross Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Stand-Up Wooden Rollercoasters!! It would have Let them make inversions first before going further with wood. No, but it could be possible to make wooden inversions I made some designed that work on paper thinking about G-forces and how to build them up. You will get these square's but they are firm and constructible for any manufacture team (Prefab or just making it on site). I designed the loop, in-line twist (not completely done making it is still hard) and Corkscrew all still can be better and measurements need to be done before you should build them. Like you can read I'm a big fan for evolutions in wooden roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though that timetable is not set yet and the trigger to start the project hasn't been pushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousReed Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have a late idea: Â Lets say Lex Luthor/Superman never existed and Magic Mountain decided to attach 4 or 5 drop towers to the sides of the Sky Tower and then re-purposed the second floor(The floor that's never used) of the Sky Tower as a "Pre-Drop Room" and kept the top floor as an observation deck.

theonetheonlyJT Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I want to see a joker themed drop ride where at the top like LLDOD you hear the joker and he counts down and you drop about 5ft and then he says why so serious and laughs and then you drop.

darklingscribe Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ^ I could see that being fun, and just to make it more fun have the ride drop at a completely random moment each time, sometimes it drops when the Joker reaches 3 other times his voice goes from 5 to 0 and nothing happens for a few seconds and then you hear him laugh and say that he was kidding and he has to start the countdown again only to release you at 5.

Moose Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 ^That would be great, but this would also be the perfect theme to have it be completely random, sometimes dropping you in the middle of spiels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Another idea I had for it would be for it to tilt the seats forward during the fake drop like Acrophobia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 That sounds absolutely amazing, I've always wondered why there weren't more drop rides with random timing of the drop. Â Â Also on a somewhat related note, I would love to see Intamin make a 3rd Gen Freefall ride similar to the original ones but much bigger and hopefully quieter.

theonetheonlyJT Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) ^^ Yeah I forgot to put that the seats would tilt forward. SFOG is my home park and I haven't been on a drop tower yet. Another idea I have is if it where to drop into a building (the station) with light effects and mist. the drop could be 300ft+ and the building around 100ft. The building could also make you think you are going faster than you really are. Edited August 8, 2012 by theonetheonlyJT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That sounds absolutely amazing, I've always wondered why there weren't more drop rides with random timing of the drop.  Also on a somewhat related note, I would love to see Intamin make a 3rd Gen Freefall ride similar to the original ones but much bigger and hopefully quieter.  Holy crap! We all really do share ideas! I've always wanted a new freefall! It was such a fun ride, and I figured it could be taller like over 200 feet, and use their magnet brakes. Would be way smoother and the freefall even more intense.   Also that's a cool idea with the drop towers. For maximum mind****ery I'd have like 6 cars that are lifted at once, all facing in towards each other, and then each one falls at random. Imagine sitting waiting, no idea when, and having to watch others fall first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The49er Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I got some crazy ideas for Invertigo's successor at CGA, as well as the IMAX. -Extended Zamperla MotoCoaster - According to RCDB, the MotoCoaster at Darien Lake is quite compact compared to Invertigo, so it could be extended a tad or a small museum themed to motorcycles could be added. -Intamin/Mack Megalite: I know it's a bit out there, but I bet it could start by the Invertigarden and use the IMAX site for the main ride. Besides, CGA could use some blue track -Custom EuroFighter: I had originally thought about the Rage layout, but that would require some shuffling of stuff (except maybe where the IMAX is?). A custom layout could work a la the Megalite concept above. -??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
