Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

[EnglndPatriots6]

hmm.. Im already ruling out a new section. a coaster would be high on my list as well as a ton of new flats. And addition for Spalshin' Safari is still in my mind but the only thing they dont have is a water coaster so probably not. To bad they announce it when im in school -.-

[spaceace12]

I will say what I think it will be Next Thursday evening. Until then, anything is better than nothing. Some parks are lucky to get new paint on buildings.

[andre8]

Personally I think the BEST addition would be an Easter section with more family oriented rides and a spinner.

[holidayworld08]

^ I really don't like that idea. There's really not a way you could develop and theme rides like that. And even if you could, it wouldn't be easy. Besides that, a new section is just out of the question.

[Homeboy23]

It would be a nice addition to the park for people wishing to get away from the tame rides they park offers

 

Tame rides? Have you ridden Voyage?

[gatorchomp83]

My guess would be a sky ride. With it stretching from one end of the park to the other (possibly with multiple destinations) it could easily be almost as long as Voyage, which would qualify it as the "second largest ride" in their history...

Ok thats 1 ride out of all the other rides there. Scrambler - tame. Raven is pretty tame to me same for legend. the only other non-tame would be liberty launch

[FeelTheFORCE]

Raven could be considered tame because it's pretty short, but Legend and Voyage are VERY far from being tame, in my opinion. Especially those laterals on Legend.

[SuperRhino95]

I think there might be a eurofighter in their future.

[atem122]

^And what would make you think that?

I personally think it'll be the rumored gigaquatrax in HW's future

[SuperRhino95]

They could build a very nice one for between the 4.3 million they spent on pilgrims plunge and the 6.5 million they spent on voyage. But this is only going on that it will be the second largest ride holiday world has made. Maybe this or a crazy new slide.

[EnglndPatriots6]

Well compared to other woodens I've ridden, legend is pretty tame for me.

[DBru]

Just curious...which ones do you think make The Legend seem tame?

 

I've always thought The Legend was a bit TOO intense (with the laterals).

[EnglndPatriots6]

nvm forget i said anything

[itsasamccormick]

The Legend is INSANE (:

 

and i hope the new ride is a Deluge.

[Invertalon]

I agree with EnglndPatriots6,

 

I find Legend a "meh" ride as well. Laterals don't excite me in general and the PTC's make those laterals uncomfortable. Raven and Voyage are superior ride, as are many other rides at different parks.

[cgodsey]

If you guys think the Raven and Legend are tame that just goes to show you how jaded coaster enthusiasts can be. I have NEVER heard anyone from the GP make those statements about those coasters and we never will. Those coasters are more thrilling than the majority of wooden coasters in the US BY FAR!

[EnglndPatriots6]

Umm lol no they arent. Raven is barely rough or anything. I've just ridden legend so much that its just another coaster for me.

[DBru]

So you consider all smooth coasters to be tame?

 

Did anyone see HW's twitter messages this morning? They pretty much confirm a ProSlide HydroMagnetic Rocket.

[Emiroo]

Though the posts talk about "magic technology" and reference Schlitterbahn, I still wouldn't quite call it a confirmation.

 

We'll know soon enough. I'd be pretty happy to get that water coaster though.

[DBru]

Read the description of ProSlide's Rocket here:

Coincidence? Not so sure...

[itsasamccormick]

^ How???

[SuperRhino95]

Lots of ride technologies could be called magic, not just water coasters.

[itsasamccormick]

i hope they add a proslide rocket (:

[cgodsey]

I don't know if I see that ride costing 5-6 million dollars though. That is one expensive waterslide!
