DBru Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I say next years addition will be a Giant Wheel, they say it's "Really Big" and Paula said working on the PR production, it made her "Woozy" and something else in Splashin' Safari to help with the crowd issues. Wow, I hadn't even thought about that, but it makes so much sense. Oh, and BTW, I was the guy who described the "triple-down" on Bert the Conqueror. I tried to explain it in terms that the GP would understand so that hopefully my interview would get used. Sorry to hear that I left a few of you dissatisfied.

deathbydinn Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I apologize if this is already common knowledge, but I don't recall seeing it posted it in here yet. The park will be announcing the 2012 additions on Ustream, at 11 AM CDT. Online Streaming I'll definitely be watching, I haven't been following the project too closely, but the park saying its a "new twist on a classic ride" has me very intrigued.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ^ That last clue makes me think it's either a spinning wild mouse (something like Pandemonium or Spinning Dragons) or a giant wheel with the spinning cars like Palace Playland's old Sun Wheel used to have.

Real Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2011/08/01/statenews.qp-1997090.sto 9million on 1 ride? I like the smell of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm interested to see what the end up going with. For certain types of steel coasters 9 million is kind of a low number (B&M, Intamin, etc), but Holiday World isn't the kind of park that doesn't usually lays up with they're new additions. I'd expect it to be a smaller family style coaster of some type maybe a spinning ild mouse, or a euro fighter, or maybe a small launched ride of some type. Although a launched coaster for 9 million might be stretching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 9 million will get you a transfer shed and a lift with B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 9 million will get you a transfer shed and a lift with B&M. LOL I think I read that the 2012 isnt a coaster? go back a few pages. Apparently at Holiwood nights it was said its not a coaster and they took a poll and an online survey about what type of steel coaster to add in the future. Since they just asked about a steel coaster this year, theres no way itll be installed for next year. Needs longer to plan out. Still, 9mil is a hefty investment. And it makes me LOL that whatever it is, it costs more than the epic monster known as Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just for comparision, Windseeker costs five million. So we can eliminate a Starflyer/Windseeker meaning "a new twist to a classic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Mack Spinner Anyone? It seems like the type of ride that HW would be interested in as it appeals to a wide variety of people, and whole families. The cost from them I believe is right around the price of HW's new addition as well... The ride can also operate in the rain which is a big advantage. (Very handy during WCB 2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I was thinking a spinning coaster might be a great addition to Holiday World, and one from Mack might be able to operate at the capacity a lace like Holiday World would need. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueerRudie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Some would call Aquatrax a classic... I've decided that I'm going to go and corrupt Intamin AG into destroying all plans ever made for the Aquatrax, any of it's spinoffs, all the related rides and everything attached to Aquatrax.

Thrilryder29 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 New holiblog post is up talking about the 2012 announcement. www.holidayworld.com/node/3570 This will be the biggest single-ride investment we've ever made. And by "ever" we mean 65 years. It's no coincidence that our announcement is on our 65th anniversary. On August 3, 1946, we opened Santa Claus Land and on August 3, 2011, we'll talk about this $9 million monstrosity we're building for next year. "If you're not able to be with us in person, please join us via our UStream Channel . Air-time (couldn't resist the pun) is 11am CDT" I hope that the Timberlines are still planned for The Voyage in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hmm, Air-Time narrows it down to a coaster, certain flats, or another water coaster. It also would eliminate some coasters, such as a Boomerang or SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathbydinn Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You're itching for another hint, aren't you? Okay, here's one: we're going to gain a new record and give up an old one with the ride we're announcing tomorrow. http://www.facebook.com/HolidayWorld Hmm, so maybe the ride they are getting..will beat the record a different ride in the park currently has?

crazywolf88 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 It holds the record in airtime and costs around 9 million dollars, this could just be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08stien Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 So is it known for sure that this is not going to be a coaster? I know people were talking about HWNights and discussion of there not being a coaster next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I think it will be their first steel coaster, probably a family ride, flat rides don't come at $9 million. Also note, family coasters are pretty fast these days, will this be their fastest ride to date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) EDIT: Videos removed by Holiday World Well, so much for the early morning announcement! Loving the raft style tubes on a water coaster though. Edited August 3, 2011 by deathbydinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
