prozach626 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Robert Bleck Architects tweeted that they will be the ones designing the new front gate and accompanying plaza. They company has designed numerous things for Six Flags Great America including stations for coasters and facades. So bright green, no shade, and plenty of space for advertising. Nice.

PhantomPoster32 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 i highly doubt that the rides we are adding are currently operating in a park. Considers ring they were bought last year I almost guarantee that they are not the ones at Slagharen. That's interesting. If that's the case, then they aren't from the Netherlands because the other troika is still listed on its park website and the vehicles are very themed, which wouldn't really fit in at wof. Also, the condor at Slagharen is, I believe, the only condor in the Netherlands. They bought them from a ride broker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked at their portfolio, it looks like they also designed Thunderbird's station. So, I'm guessing this won't be like the rest of the new CF entrances.

Yeah that's what I thought too after looking through the portfolio. However, let's admit that pretty much anything will be better than what we have now.

Jaykethekid Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Im sure its along the lines of FunPix and Wifi. It seems most people on facebook think it will be a coaster. I feel so sorry for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Corn Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I honestly think we'll see every park get a Planet (or Camp) Snoopy addition in the next 5 years also including the Pre-K pass. The Pre-K pass is such a great way to make money, you get new rides and you get the kids in the park, they love it and want to return every year and ride the bigger rides, and then you got a customer until they move or find a better park. Its shocking that they could come up with something this great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Really, I just want them to keep retracking Timber Wolf. It's practically a new coaster already, and they've only retracked half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomPoster32 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm guessing it's one of the used waterslides that the chain has in storage now (either from KBF or from WWK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF it does end up being a Tornado slide, this will be a GREAT YEAR for additions at WOF (and it's pretty awesome already) I will third this notion. I felt pretty sure they'd be getting one before the last announcement, so I suspect this will be that addition. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if park Wi-Fi and Funpix are also coming... I seem to remember seeing something that listed all the parks in the CF chain that will have FunPix, and WoF was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmnipotentSeal Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I think it that it should be pointed out that no concept art for the new entrance has been released yet, so we may get a roller coaster that interacts with the entrance like how Gatekeeper and Fury 325 do.

That theory sounds like something that belongs on the KD Discussion Thread It would actually be quite reasonable if there was a possibility of a coaster. Kinda makes sense, but kinda not. Just the odds are not in our favor for a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOFanatic Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'd say at the very very most, POSSIBLY a third flat to fill Thunderhawk's spot or maybe a WWK water slide. I think both have a 5% chance of happening. I hope everyone here likes WiFi (but honestly, who doesn't?). I don't see FunPix coming as the park only really has four rides that you could use it on. Plus, I saw a list of parks that will be receiving FunPix in 2017, and WOF was not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'd like to point out are the new Skeleton Key rooms. I know you briefly mentioned them, but they are pretty interesting this year. 2 of them will actually be located in the scare zones (CarnEvil and Outlaw's Revenge), while one of them is in a secret location within the park...very interesting.
