GCI Wooden Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wow, three weeks early! That is amazing. I really hope I can ride this sometime in the next couple years, it looks amazing. I know it has been said before, but the trees are going to make this ride amazing. Congratulations Holiday World! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Very well! This looks great! I love this shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Maven Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Regarding who signed the last piece of track - it was members of the construction crew. Gotta love traditions like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I really hope those new elements for Thunderbird are more keyholes, or at least some more theming around the elevated spiral and horseshoe, If you look at the rendering, there isn't anything there.

Diamondbacker27 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 As much as I love keyholes, near misses, and hope they are announcing more. I doubt they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 A ride is being moved up to Thunderbird plaza and more near miss elements are coming for Thunderbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 A ride is being moved up to Thunderbird plaza and more near miss elements are coming for Thunderbird. Wow, guess I was wrong! Sadly, I cannot watch the video currently. School has it blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It will be nice to have a ride next to Thunderbird. I'm thinking it could be the flying scooters (I'm blanking on their name right now), but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ^I am thinking that they will probably get one of those Zamperla flying flat rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ^ Do you not read things before you respond? They are MOVING a ride, not getting another one! Not trying to be rude (or backseat moderate), but please read (and preferably think) before you post! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklingscribe Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'm kind of blanking on what non-coaster attractions Holiday World has, but I think a great future addition to the park would be a transport ride of some sort if they don't already have one (like a train, sky tram or something similar). The park is pretty spread out now with this latest addition and having a ride that could provide cool shade on a hot and humid summer day while taking guests to opposite ends of the park would be a welcome relief.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It will be nice to have a ride next to Thunderbird. I'm thinking it could be the flying scooters (I'm blanking on their name right now), but I could be wrong. It's Eagles Flight. That clue at the end of the video seemed like a dead giveaway. It would also make sense as well, seeing it's easy to move, and easy to re-theme to fit in Thunderbird plaza. It also gives something for the kids who aren't quite tall enough to ride Thunderbird something to ride in the plaza as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterchitchat Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah, I absolutely agree with moving Eagles' Flight. They can get Larson to help it out if they needed it. Give it a new name and a retheme. Also, in the FUTURE, Holiday World should install one of those Zamperla Disk'os and call if 'The Cranberry Saucer'. Just as a side thought, has one thought of the fact that Holiday World doesn't have a set of drop capsules? They should get a set in the next 3-4 years.

glouthan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Wow, very excited for some more near misses! It just keeps getting better and better! ^The drop capsule idea is interesting, but probably wouldn't appeal to all audience since they are a family - the littler ones seem to be scared to ride those. It could go any way, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Do you think that they decided to put more near misses in because they finished the track so far ahead of schedule, or do you think it was planned all along? This ride is surprising me so much, first it went up so quickly, and then even more theming/near misses! It is just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Good to hear that another attraction is moving towards the back of the park. It will make Thunderbird feel less isolated from the rest of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong (and you guys are probably right), but I dont think they ever specifically mentioned that the ride would recive more near-misses. They still have it under wraps. For all we know, they're going to add even more LED's, or maybe a neverending waterfall to commemorate Giraffica.

ZeroGravity55 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ^^ Check around the 40 second mark in the video: "We will also be adding a few new elements that we haven't necessarily announced yet to the ride. A few near misses that will make the ride extra exciting." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 New "near misses" for Thunderbird? You know what that means. . .NEW POV animation for Thunderbird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Maybe a new POV will come, or maybe they'll make you ride it to figure out where they are! There will probably be a new rendering with the extra elements in there, if there isn't a new POV, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeagain? Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Or you'll all just need to go ride the thing to see what all is in store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Or you'll all just need to go ride the thing to see what all is in store! I will certainly be there! I'm still debating on whether I should go on opening weekend, or that next weekend when crowds might be at ease. Either way I'm going on a Sunday.
