DILinator Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 ^I'm right with you there! I can't wait to watch this beauty go up! Also, given that they know they can now market this as the tallest hybrid in the world (assuming they use the full 210 they have on the height), I suspect an announcement will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks!
michaellynn4 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Ooooooh new hotness! Love that color, too!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I hope the capacity is really good. That way it would be... ...wait for it... A purple people eater. 1
Dombot Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 You have no idea just how excited I am for this thing.
Brashnir Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Oh dear god. That color is beautiful! It sure is. Hopefully the other one is a different/contrasting color like Orange or Yellow.
southpuddle Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 There is no other one. This will be a single tracked ride. They ditched the dueling element in favor or one huge ride.

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I hope the capacity is really good. That way it would be... ...wait for it... A purple people eater. GOLD. Also count me in with the people who love the color.

thrillseeker4552 Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 September 12th is also the day SeaWorld Orlando announced their new coaster, right? That's definitely a day to look forward to now.
SharkTums Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 ^&^^ Robb and I will be at BOTH parks covering it all!
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 lolz That's freaking hilarious!!
DILinator Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 I've said it elsewhere, and to a number of people in person, but I'll go ahead and say it here. I am predicting this coaster will be themed after/named for Lions, and will feature the concept of "King of the Jungle" in some way. I think this fits with the fact they're replacing a coaster that partially had a Lion theme, and even though Kumba can refer to either Tigers or Lions since it's apparently Swahili for "Roar", they don't have an explicitly "Lion" themed coaster anymore, while the Tiger half of Gwazi now is represented by Tigris. Additionally, the track color being purple would go along with a "King of the Jungle" theme, since it's a color often associated with royalty. Just my guess. Could be wrong, but it definitely checks out on a lot of levels. As for the name, it's hard to say... King Gwazi (if they retained the old concept, but without it dueling, that may not make much sense)? Jungle King? Simply "The King"? Who knows... Maybe I'm way off base, but it's fun to guess! I just know I am super excited about this coaster, as a huge fan of the park already, and RMC in general, and can't wait until Thursday to find out more!
jedimaster1227 Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 ^&^^ Robb and I will be at BOTH parks covering it all! I'm excited to hear what details are revealed... These parks have struggled for a while, but I appreciate how much corporate is shifting their investment strategy to drive new business while adding new additions to parks that traditionally saw more sizable investments only every 3-7 years.
