Jive Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 I highly doubt that they announce it on Saturday. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a teaser tossed out for the Mayhem attendees to chew on but an announcement without the media just doesn't makes sense IMO. And that $1.2 mill is probably for construction costs. A cheap GCI would be $6 mill.
doublex98 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 ^Thanks for clearing up the cost thing. I guess we will find out if they do/don't announce it on Saturday...
JamesMC Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 This could be just a rumor, BUT: I heard that Worlds Of Fun is NOT going to have a media event for the new coaster and is even going so far as to say they will DENY it's existence once the ride is actually built and operational (much like Groom Lake at Area 51.) It will be based on the legend of the Ghost Lion (see wikipedia or the movie The Ghost and The Darkness). Ghost Lion will NOT appear on the park map and you will be discouraged from riding by electric fences, guard dogs, and assorted thugs stationed in or around the queue line. Again, this MIGHT just be a rumor.
theyd Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 This just in www.screamscape.com/html/worlds_of_fun.htm Looks like screamscape found the possible name for the new coaster.
doublex98 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 This just in www.screamscape.com/html/worlds_of_fun.htm Looks like screamscape found the possible name for the new coaster. IF this is the new name for the coaster, that would be awesome. "Prowler" is very cool sounding.
Astat Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 This just in www.screamscape.com/html/worlds_of_fun.htm Looks like screamscape found the possible name for the new coaster. It probably will be "Prowler," considering that is EXACTLY the same way the name for Maverick was discovered (although that happened a good 8 months or so before it was announced).
Hobbesx2 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 coaster mayhem today! too bad I'm not going. I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens.
doublex98 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I am heading over to WOF today. Ill will post any "news" once I get back. (if there will be any....)
Jive Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Today at Mayhem they confirmed the name is Prowler and they showed off the logo. The actual announcement is coming Sept 1st at 11am.
Hobbesx2 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 That's all? Damn. September 1st?? That's a whole 16 days! At least I'll have something to look forward to at school...
Jive Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Just show up at the park on Sept 1st and you'll get to attend the announcement. http://www.worldsoffun.com/public/news/special_events.cfm?mode=story¤t_root=149&story_id=221

doublex98 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Awesome! I was at WOF yesterday, its kinda funny how they are already selling t-shirts even though they havent "offically" announced the coaster.
haux Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 What do the T-shirts say? Prowler? Or "Coming in 2009! Something?"
zztop Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 wait there selling them i thought they just gave them out to the people attending coaster mayhem
Jive Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 They started selling them shortly after they gave them to the Mayhemers.
mr_teisco_delrey Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Is it just me, or does it look like the cat on a pack of Black Cats?
ChrisCrowder Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The name seems a bit innuendo. It should be called 'Panty Draw Prowler'. Much more catchy.
wierdo135 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 wow i figured it would be Spinning Mamba's Dragon Boomerang dang i was only offf alittle
Ace Of Spades Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Seeing as it is CF, I woulda guessed that they would call it something original, like "Wood Coaster". AOS
xxmagicboxersxx Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 wow i figured it would be Spinning Mamba's Dragon Boomerang dang i was only offf alittle Patriotic Spinning Mamba's Dragon Boomerang. That was the original title.
wierdo135 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 wow i figured it would be Spinning Mamba's Dragon Boomerang dang i was only offf alittle Patriotic Spinning Mamba's Dragon Boomerang. That was the original title. They also considered Patriotic spinning mamba's detonation boomerang but they didnt make it far!
