B&MBoy1982 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I think the folks over at Holiday World should buy that B&M. It would be PERFECT for that park. Over near Voyage would be a great place for it.
Jew Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 ^That was the strangest bit of theming ever--unless when you think of "the Fast Lane" it brings to mind a Vekoma Mine Train sitting on a lawn. With a statue straight out of the burning man festival as a finale no less.
Xmeister Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 All I can really say about Time Machine/Led Zeppelin is that it is quite the photogenic coaster. Probably one of the worst post-midcourse break run sections I've ever seen on a coaster too. It would fit at Kentucky Kingdom really well. Who else could it be going to if a sale is indeed close to happening?

historyfreak92 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I don't know about Holiday World, they're a Wooden Coaster Park, but my opinions are Fiesta Texas, It can be good for the park (but we got Superman Krypton Coaster that is basically the same), Worlds of Fun if possible I think that it would work out fine in WOF, Carowinds I can definitely imagine going there!
DougMJr Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 No guys, they should send it to Darien Lake. They can put it next to Gwazi and Batman.

darklingscribe Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I agree that Holiday World or KK are the best future homes for Led Zep, and I could see the Vekoma Mine Train also being put to good use by Holiday World.
Philrad71 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 This was the 'Life In The Fast Lane' themed to the Eagles song, right? No, the Vekoma Mine Train was the Eagles ride. Ahhh....I knew I should have Googled first! That was the strangest bit of theming ever--unless when you think of "the Fast Lane" it brings to mind a Vekoma Mine Train sitting on a lawn. ^ I guess I just assumed that the second biggest coaster that the park had must have had something to do with "the Fast Lane". Well no wonder the park failed!
coasterfreak101 Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Time Machine would make for a good, cheaper replacement for Chang. I think it'd fit better there than anywhere else, really.
Myself Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Seabreeze announced two new rides for 2014 today: Wave Swinger and Balloon Race, both from HRP/FMP. Looks like there may not be a future for this park after all...

jedimaster1227 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 ^Hard Rock Park didn't but Freestyle Music Park did, if I remember correctly. It was in the expanded Kids in America section of the park. Either way, this is definitely a sign that the park is ready to be sold off piecemeal.
cfc Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I don't recall Freestyle having a Balloon Race ride, but it wouldn't have been high on my priority list when I visited the place. I know they plunked down some random kiddie rides, though.
SharkTums Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 This is probably the best news to come out of the park in a long time! Hopefully we see some of the other (better) rides come out soon!
cfc Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I'm especially curious to see if any other park buys that coaster with the "Ferris wheel" lift.
Moose Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 I could see it being modified to a traditional lift or even an elevator lift. Though not sure the ride would be worth putting that much effort into.
cfc Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 The Ferris wheel lift is what makes that ride somewhat interesting. Other than that, I think it's a routine family coaster.
Nrthwnd Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Maybe Disney or Universal should take it and make it something really awesome, lol!
Jew Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 ^The lift could easily double as a film reel... As for the other two rides, maybe these were two rides creditors were able to take back?
gisco Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Finally something is being done with the rides. Better then selling them for scrap!
cfc Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Too bad Nights in White Satin: The Trip is no more. But if they want to burn Monstars of Rock, its replacement, that's OK with me.
