netdvn Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Yo! Hey everybody guess what? KD is building a 300 foot 4-D, inverted, Intamin Aquatrax with lasers, snakes, horses, and fire. The ride is supposed to have a heartline roll launch to the moon where it will have 20 left turns, 50 right turns, and a 120 degree drop before falling back down to Earth. Then it will become a yellow B&M prototype with 200 loops which goes through a bunch of rings. In order to satisfy the ACErs, the ride will end with a splashdown into a pool of gravy. The brake run will be inside a gigantic trash can filled with concrete. Rumor has it that although B&M has a magical contract with Busch that lasts 1,000 years, they will build their newest prototype at KD. I know because the Dippin Dots guy AND the Lemon Chill guy told me...
technfxrick Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Maybe the new "special strength" intamin track is so it can go from KD to BGE unsuported and the BBW destruction and KD's new coaster are actually related to the same product... Just throwing out ideas here
Mr. Starr Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I am not upset by any joking around. I have a great sense of humor actually. I just think people go a little to far with some of the jokes. You can only make the comment "its going to be a 500ft aquatrax named lazer snake horse on fire" before it is no longer funny. It is now to the point where the thread isnt interesting to read because its like reading the smae post over and over.After a while the joke gets stale and isnt funny any more. Does anyone agree with me on this? To be honest, I think you're just setting yourself up for more comments about laser, snakes, horses, fire, rings, etc. As seen here: KD is building a 300 foot 4-D, inverted, Intamin Aquatrax with lasers, snakes, horses, and fire. The ride is supposed to have a heartline roll launch to the moon where it will have 20 left turns, 50 right turns, and a 120 degree drop before falling back down to Earth. Then it will become a yellow B&M prototype with 200 loops which goes through a bunch of rings. In order to satisfy the ACErs, the ride will end with a splashdown into a pool of gravy.

Rumor has it that although B&M has a magical contract with Busch that lasts 1,000 years, they will build their newest prototype at KD. I know because the Dippin Dots guy AND the Lemon Chill guy told me... Actually there going to theme the rings as a magician and a hat and call it fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo: The Ride and here I've been doing my research and found out that the ride's name is going to have somthing to do with a snake and a mustang. Although I did this research, I heard from a reliable source that this will be named after a water snake, which is on fire at first, then cools down. Part of the coaster will go on the lake Anaconda sits on, and this is where the 'cool down' part of the ride will be. Over the lake the track will be painted blue.....aquatrax anyone? A lot of those comments were purely posted to annoy you, if you ask me.
B-RadG Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Yeah, yesterday there were about 50 sitting in the parking lot by the supports!!! I will NOT ride it if the splashdown pool has gravy in it. Nasty. But in all seriousness, yesterday when I was at KD there was a dug-out area in the land clearing that looked kinda pond-like, almost suspiciously like a splashdown area the size of Diamondback's. Hmmmmmm.
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 B&M holds a patent for their splashdown effect. Unless It's considerably different, I doubt it. But you never know.
lil jimmy norton Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Wait for it, could it be, yes. I can see a mod locking this thread in the near future. If you don't find the jokes funny, just don't read the thread. Simple as that.
alpengeist04 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 B&M holds a patent for their splashdown effect. Unless It's considerably different, I doubt it. But you never know. Maybe they sent the wrong track to KD. You know, like the supports.
B-RadG Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Well I call the coaster "Gigatrax" at the moment (until there's a name), so maybe this could be an *drumroll*.... AQUAGIGATRAX! I realize there's a patent, but I'm sure somebody holds a patent for anti-rollbacks, but every company uses them, just differently than another.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 B&M has a patent on WATER splash downs. GRAVY splash downs are public domain. No cameras or cell phones will be allowed on this ride, however, fried chicken, biscuits, and bibs are permitted.
themeparkman25 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I thought the patent was only on the scoops on the train. Someone posted the patent itself somewhere on this site, if only I could find it.
Emiroo Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I'm hoping for a surprise ranch dressing splashdown.
monsterfan99 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Could do a pudding splash down. Add in the red supports (think Jell-o) and we got ourselves Bill Cosby: The Ride.
coasterguy618 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I'm hoping for a surprise ranch dressing splashdown. Maybe KD will make it a plethora of different sauces. Since I'm hoping for Honey Mustard and I've seen people wanting gravy and ranch hopefully they will make seperate splashdowns or just one with honey mustard. Maybe even put them all in a giant witch pot and mix them together. If not I will won't be a happy camper.
atem122 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Wait. KI has a fountain leading to it's splashdown, so that must mean the KD splashdown will be a fondue splashdown! The waterfall leading into it can be a beautiful chocolate fondue waterfall!
natatomic Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Why don't they just make it a vodka splashdown? It'll still LOOK like water.
redfoot12 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^ Sounds like the burning/stinging sensation we've all been looking for in a coaster.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^^People would stand on the path trying to get as much as possible. Only if it was a splash down like Sheikra and the water gets to the path. There would be a line where the splash zone is
cfc Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Why don't they just make it a vodka splashdown? It'll still LOOK like water. Plus, the alcohol will kill harmful bacteria.
HCLcoasters Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I personally think that they would have to sell Aquagigatrax shot glasses if they were to do that.
HCLcoasters Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I just received this tweet from KD. NBC12's Andrew Freiden was at the park this morning. Check out his story in HD Tuesday at 5pm. it will leave you begging for more! I think this may be about the new ride.
MattMattMatt Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Alcohol evaporates much faster than water, so if they do go with the vodka route I fear they're going to have to do a lot of refilling. You people really do need to do some research next time. I'm currently working the evaporation rates of beef vs. turkey gravy, then we will have our true answer.
B-RadG Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^But with Vodka it could run even when it's snowing because Vodka has a low freezing point.
