haux Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Maybe it's a multi-car drop tower. I don't know how that'll work, but Holiday World will figure it out. I hope they name it Mustang.
V2-dude Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Could be 'Vu from SFOG, it fits the hints, or Bullet/Weiner(?) Looping.
DejaVu The Ride Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 From the sounds of things.... Â 1. Maurer Sohne spinning coaster. There isn't technically a back row on those things. Also, lots of German and Vertigo to go around there. Â 2. Maybe some type of new style of a lift for a new slide tower. Hmmm...I have no clue otherwise...
linearinduction Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Could be 'Vu from SFOG, it fits the hints, or Bullet/Weiner(?) Looping.I guessed that it was Deja Vu on the Holiblog days ago and I think it's a good possibility and would fit the park great!
haux Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 If it's Deja Vu, I hope the animation Paula's talking about isn't the same one Six Flags used when the ride was announced.
coasterfreak101 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 2. Maybe some type of new style of a lift for a new slide tower. Hmmm...I have no clue otherwise... Â There's always that odd, odd UFO-themed slide tower, where a water curtain falls to disguise the loading dock being pushed upwards. Once it's at the top, it revolves until everyone's headed down a slide, and then goes back down to pick more people up. It's a pretty neat concept...but I'm still leaning towards a coaster.
rct2wizard360 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Silverwood didn't pay all too much for Vu. Â I could see it.
Reon Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 LASER SNAKE HORSE ON FIRE Â Â How do you guys not see it?
nannerdw Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 I'm really hoping it's Deja Vu now. That would be a really good addition to the park if they could get it running properly. It's also very cheap; Silverwood only spent $3 million for it.  clues: "Really tall", "dropping" "It gave me such a lift to finally 'get it.'" vertical lift hills  "I mean the ride type has been around a long time" it's 7 years old.  "In the back." it actually has a back row, and it might be a hint to the fact that it goes backwards  "There's just a new way of getting from here to there that I finally understand." The shuttle concept and riding backwards  "In case you don't recognize the dad's legs, let's zoom out to get a look at this stately fellow."..."Let's zoom out even more so you can see how Korey's almost as tall as the Holidog statue." stately: being transported from another state and standing "almost as tall" as the Voyage?  "Too bad the name is already taken ...or I think we'd need to consider the name 'Vertigo' for our new ride." It's vertical  "Tallest in the world" I think it is the tallest lift hill-powered shuttle coaster.  They have only budgeted $8.4 million, $5.1 million less than last season, yet still hinting that the new ride will stand almost as tall as the Voyage. Deja Vu seems to fit these clues very well.  There are probably a lot more clues that I have missed, which probably lead in a completely different direction
haux Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 But Deja Vu is taller than Voyage. A flaw in your logic!
amusing_parks Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah thats more so what I was thinking, or vertigo or boomerang. I think, with all them clues, it leads to a Vekoma. Deja Vu is taller then Voyage, but Invertigo (vertigo hmmmm), and boomerang, there smaller.
cgodsey Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Perhaps this is the Vertigo Paula was referring to?
spaceace12 Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Perhaps this is the Vertigo Paula was referring to? Â And Again....no.
nannerdw Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 But Deja Vu is taller than Voyage. A flaw in your logic!  I thought the top of the Voyage's lift was a little bit higher up the hill from that area with the construction markers. Deja Vu might be lower down then, but it's hard to tell from pictures because of all the trees.  Maybe it will be a taller Wicked Twister Wicked Twister was $9 million, and I think the price of steel has gone up since then.  I'm going to stop guessing now. I think I can wait 6 more days  I guess all of the clues can really only point to one thing, though; a new Pepsi Oasis stand
jamesdillaman Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Last time I talked to Paula, she had said that Holiday World wouldn't put in a large steel coaster, as it isn't a ride the family can enjoy together. I think if it is a coaster, it'll be a wooden coaster. If it isn't, then less than 5 years after that was said, they'd already be going back on their "philosophy." Â -James Dillaman
mudvayneimn Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 ^After the Voyage, anything is possible at Holiday World, including the use of steel, tubular track....or I-beam.
coasterfreak101 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 They could always go with a smaller Eurofighter (a la first half of Mystery Mine). Of course, for that nice beyond-vertical drop it'd have to be a little bigger than MM's first one, but it could stay under 75'-100' easily.
coasterdude5 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I hope they don't go with Deja Vu, Holiday World doesn't seem like the type of park that would install a ride like that...
spaceace12 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I was reading somewhere that Fun town or Fun spot in Florida has a Screamin Swing that is supposedly for sale. I really can't see them installing a low capacity ride, but you never know.
ratdogg68 Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I'll put my 2 cents in and guess, a Giant Wheel. It is a relaxing family ride.
PhantomNick Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 According to Paula's latest post on the Holiblog, apparently their twitter page will be the place to go for the latest info on Tuesday (it is easily accessible on the right side of the Holiblog page). The "loyal followers of twitter" will be the first to get the scoop on what is being added. She also mentions (on twitter) that there will be four videos. With that many videos, it's either going to be multiple rides or a roller coaster. I can't imagine 4 videos for just a water ride or something like that. We'll all find out in a few days! Â I guess it's time now for me to log an official guess - I'm going with a custom Eurofighter, about 125-150 feet in height. They're family friendly enough (heck, Mall of America has one), and it would be a great steel complement to their dynamic wooden trio! Of course, come Tuesday I will likely find out how dead wrong that guess is!!
dougstanton Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I have so many ideas running through my mind as to what this coaster could be. Understanding that news sites don't always have their facts straight, after a simple google search, I discovered this article. www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsitem.asp?ID=31135 It states that it will be the tallest of its kind. I feel that would eliminate a wooden coaster. Dejavu definitely would apply, but I guess now I am pulling for a eurofighter.
Cheapalcohol Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 I'm going to guess a turkey themed Huss Topple Tower. The latest Holiblog post about a bird swooping down to devour a chicken leg that had been thrown near Paula's car instantly made me think of the Topple Towers that have the weird bird head mounted on the top. The ride seems like it would be a pretty good fit at Holiday World. They look very family friendly!
