Sk610 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 T-Rex, take another look at your list of ride...Silver Bullet is not a family ride. I do agree that the park has lots of family flats, but the Rowdy's Ridge area is mostly family stuff. The area should stay family or maybe a borderline thrill/family ride.

anonymouscactus Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 People abbreviated wicked cyclone as "W.i.C.y." and it was stupid... so a filter was made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Any theories on what the retheme of Ride Of Steel could be? I got some *A legend of the "Steel Beast" that lives in Elk Lake to "complement" the wooden beastly coaster, Predator *Western retheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Rex Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) I have an idea for the soon to be vacant spot where the Ranger was... A Rainbow/1001 Naughts type ride... Think about that. It would kinda be the best of both worlds for Rowdy's Ridge. A Family/Thrill ride. Should fit right in where the Ranger was since both rides take the same blue print..

Huss no longer makes Rainbow rides, but I think that Darien Lake can get something similar to a Rainbow ride and maybe they can themed to fit in with Rowdy's Ridge.

In the 1980s Darien Lake was the North American "showcase" park for Huss rides. Darien Lake's Ranger was probably the first Huss Ranger ride ever made.

Geauga Dog Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Huss is still around. They announced a few months ago their new second generation Enterprise. Shame they don't have the ride catalog they once had though I'd love to see new second generation models of some of their classics. Sartori also makes a Rainbow type ride as well but I think ARM's Rock Star themed Ali Baba would look great by RoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matman-TheRide Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I personally think that Ride Of Steel should be rethemed either to Scout : Ride Of BONK! or The Flying Rainbow Nicholas Cage Kawaii Machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Just out of curiosity, was Darien Lake's Ranger ride the first Huss Ranger ride ever made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matman-TheRide Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 No, there were other ones that opened in Europe before that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 What companies besides Zamperla make similar style rides to a Huss Ranger ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I do enjoy the Rainbow style rides. I always wanted DL to buy the old El Dorado from GL and put it in a 50s themed area with a johnny rockets style diner and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 ^^Intamin's Looping Starship model does the same thing. Not sure if you're just curious or not, but Rolling Thunder pretty much covers Ranger in terms of a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 ^I don't think Intamin makes Looping Starship rides anymore, so Darien Lake is on the outs with that unless whoever buys the is willing to hunt down a used one for them. Martin's Fantasy Island used to have a similar ride to the Ranger, but it was not made by Huss and it was doubled and called "Patriot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 http://www.intaminworldwide.com/amusement/RoundRides/Looping+Starship/tabid/141/ProductNumber/Looping+Starship/language/de-DE/Default.aspx It's still in production. I don't think that DL will be "hunting one down" any time soon though, because with Rolling Thunder, adding another ride like that would be redundant.

SbSteveZ Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 These things do look pretty awesome - and it differs from Ranger and Rollong Thunder. Slightly, but enough for it to be a nice addition From the State Fair this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Peabody Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 These things do look pretty awesome - and it differs from Ranger and Rollong Thunder. Slightly, but enough for it to be a nice addition It looks like the Full Tilt at Martin's Fantasy Island. That thing is a capacity nightmare.
