kiwisoup Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 According to the new MOA visitor's guide the new inflatable Bounce is going to be SpongeBob's pineapple house, called "Pineapple Poppers" and the official new name of Pepsi Ripsaw is Pepsi Orange Streak. Not sure if that's old news, but thought I'd share. Here's the link to a PDF of it. It has some cool artwork of what some of the 100% completed rides will probably look like... http://www.mallofamerica.com/images/VG/08VisGuide_F2.pdf -A sort of splash effect decoration around the base of Splat-O-Sphere -A gazebo type queue with avatar on top and more cloudish decorations for Avatar Airbender -On the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge there are coral decorations around supports, water cutouts and paint on the floor, seaweed wrapping around the support columns of the actual building with blue bubble designs on the inside, a purple rock formation/pipe sort of TUNNEL for the first drop of the coaster, more rock formations in the background with a street and some buildings give more of an impression that you're actually down lower in Rock Bottom, and a more detailed bus stop with restrooms, bus stop sign, vending machine and such. There is even a Krusty Krab with it's sign that the ride appears to go through. That last part seems a bit out of place...Sorry that's a long list and if they do all that it's gonna look AWESOME.

haiderodes Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ^^^I wonder how much of that will actually be added to the ride. We all know concept art doesnt necessarily equal the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Avatar Testing. People either were just on or just got off. Look in the Que line. They are all wearing suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraken613 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ^ And Splat o Spere! Those trains dont look that good on that track color. When are they supposed to paint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looty Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Avatar was running today. Those people you saw in suits were ops supervisors who were there to write the SOP for it. They were supposed to ride it, but apparently is wasn't "ready for people" I know that the trainer for that ride is coming in tomorrow to learn it so look for people to be on it tomorrow. Hey so I'm looking to see how many people are planning on going opening day (or another day). If i find a group of at least 15 people, you can get wristbands for $16.27 each. There is going to be a lot going on opening day with different celebrities and other activities so spread the word and let me know. BTW...I just got two more rides on Spongebob tonight and it truly is getting better everytime i ride it (if that doesn't get you motivated, i don't know what will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Nicky Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Looty Update Here are a few pictures from today. Not much has changed on the Axe and Spongebob. If you look at the Spongebob webcam, you'll see white rock-looking things in the sand. Those are supposed to be coral. Also, workers were applying a primer to the cement under spongebob so it wont just be boring cement you're riding over. Avatar should be testing with people tomorrow so hopefully I'll snag a few rides on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I really like the fire and ice design on the Avatar ride, it looks great! The new orange trains on Orange Streak look really cool as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Nicky Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 They won't be repainting Ripsaw until later, later thid year maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I got SB going up the lift. It seems like everytime I look at the webcam they are testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwisoup Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm surprised nobody is acknowledging my post about the artwork of SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge. Especially the part about the tunnel at the bottom of the first drop. Even the description in the visitor's guide says: "twist and turn through creepy caverns" Do you think they'll add caves...kinda looks like they might from the picture. They may only have time to do some of what is portrayed in the artwork, but they could always finish it later if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 They have started painting the floor by SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeyoda Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I like the floor colors and how their painting them with diffferent designs and colors. I can't wait till its done! It looks better than just gray. I wonder if their going to do a water effect in the trenches near spongebob? Anyone know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
