jray21 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Rampage had a few pot holes when I rode it a few years back, but it was a pretty good intense ride!
twilight79 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 New cabana colors are cool, but what happened to the sand beach?
Rollercoaster Rider Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 New cabana colors are cool, but what happened to the sand beach? Strays if you know what I mean?
CoasterGuy06 Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 New cabana colors are cool, but what happened to the sand beach? It's been gone for several years. The majority was removed back in 2009 and the remainder a couple of seasons later. Update on Rampage? Dan tweeted the picture out on Saturday "@SplashinDan Rampage looking good. Still lots of work to be done. #SplashAdventure " "@SplashinDan Rampage looking good. Still lots of work to be done. #SplashAdventure "
coasterchitchat Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Man.... that is a lot of hard work. And they ripped it all up. I wonder if RMC is doing this. But, Gravity Group could be doing it since Dan Koch has delt with them before.
twilight79 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Dan showing off the CentisSpeed bigger than I thought it would be, Kinda cool nice to see the dry rides coming back. http://www.alabamas13.com/video?clipId=10310628&autostart=true
twilight79 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Does anyone know what rides will be added for 2015 besides rampage?
aCoasterStory Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Does anyone know what rides will be added for 2015 besides rampage? There's speculation that the remaining rides from Hard Rock/Freestyle Music Park could be headed that way...
coasterbill Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Isn't there speculation that those rides could be headed to every park in the country though? lol
Midgetman82 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 I actually think reusing rides from there would be a good start in getting another major coaster installed sooner. And I love Dan's positivity in that video!
Shavethewhales Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 ^^There certainly is, but from what little I know of the situation, I would peg AA as one of the most likely shoppers to pick up a bunch of Hard Rock stuff. If you're needing to pick up a lot of equipment at once right now, there's only so many places to look. That doesn't mean they bought all the coasters though, but whatever flats they could get would be great for them. The mine train would be nice for this park as well - haven't heard if that is rumored to go somewhere else yet or not.

It would be awsome, I hope they do and add at least one good more good thrill ride for adults for next season.

twilight79 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 New tweet from dan on Ramapage. Daniel Koch @SplashinDan 37m I love the smell of fresh number one grade lumber in the morning.Smells like victory.Rampage rules! #SplashAdventure
twilight79 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I just wonder if they plan on cleaning out some of those wild trees growing in the rampage and redo the landscaping, looks like it could be kinda dangerouse
thrillrider Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 No, they are just going to leave them there. They figure it will add to the ride experience.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I just wonder if they plan on cleaning out some of those wild trees growing in the rampage and redo the landscaping, looks like it could be kinda dangerouse The Koch family does not seem to chop trees down around rides (Raven, Legend, Voyage, Etc.)
Guy T. Koepp Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 If the ride is running well enough. The riders hands and the ride itself should clear any unnecessary foliage. Just put your arms out and reach for the branches.
twilight79 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 any news on rather or not the wild river gorge will repopen, or if they plan on replacing the buzz saw falls with another similar ride? it would make since considering all the plumbing and everything is already there, seems like that was a lot of work and wasted money to just have it there for one season.
djcoastermark Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 The foliage looks really cool to me. It looks like it would really enhance the feeling of speed and add a little craziness to the ride experience. A new Jungle Coaster?
coasterchitchat Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Does someone know who's doing the Rampage refurb? EDIT: This was my 100th post.
