Emiroo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Way to bring reality back Adam. There go my B&M hopes. Still, that kind of money can build all kinds of awesome stuff. I can't wait to hear the plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Remember, Voyage was part of a whole land expansion. I think they said Thanksgiving land was in the 10-11million range. Now if they consider that grouping their largest ride expense, then we might actually see a ride in the 9-10million range. Hmmmmmmmm! What does a ____________ cost? Cause that's what I'm thinking.

itsasamccormick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 BUT... megalites are a newer technology. this ride will koch has been planing (and talking about) even longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Did I miss where HW said it was the 2nd Largest 'MONEY' project? Â I just saw 2nd Largest. 2nd Largest still gives me hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasamccormick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Very good point! Â Park president Will Koch will proudly unveil his latest plan for making everyone smile. He's been working on this for several years and has been talking about it even longer. In fact...it's the second largest ride project in the park's history!

cgodsey Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Right, but it could be that he has been planning a steel coaster project for a while now. Doesn't necessarily mean an exact coaster manufacturer or type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillerman1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Intamin! Intamin! Intamin! Â I still find it unusual Paula hasn't hinted around. Anyone seen any markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Still waiting for my Sky Ride. Â /Just so long as it's not another unnecessary, ill-fitting Intamin boat ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Even though I doubt that it will happen, I've got my fingers crossed for a Mega-Lite. They are great coasters and it would be an awesome way for HW to "one up" Kings Island with a better steel coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ^Let's not insult Holiday World like that! Â It's not exactly hard to 'one-up' Kings Island!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Don't they realize they could just switch to refreshing Coca-Cola, and instantly make 50% of TPR happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasamccormick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 at least they are offering free drinks. Â besides pepsi is better haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglndPatriots6 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Screamscape is reporting the new project for 2010 is going to be their second largest ever. New coaster maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsasamccormick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 From HW's Twitter/ Facebook Jungle Racer just reopened. So far, the only water-park ride we *know* won't be open Saturday is Otorongo. Crews are working hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I agree that the term "2nd largest project" could mean several things, not just money. ...height, length and/or the overall size of a new land come to mind. Â Also, put me down for another HW fan hoping for an Intamin. Then again, I say that for every new project every year that's being rumored in the US.

cgodsey Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 This is what was in the HW newsletter yesterday... Â What's the New Project for 2010? Ah, the question on everyone's mind these days: What's new for 2010?Yes, we will have a new thing for next year. Want to play along with our guessing game? Follow us on Twitter, our Facebook Fan Page, and the HoliBlog. Our big announcement will be Thursday, August 13, at 11 am CDT. If you're here as a guest that day, you're welcome to join us in the Holiday Theater (sorry, HoliDazzles fans, we'll have one less show that day). Park president Will Koch will proudly unveil his latest plan for making everyone smile. He's been working on this for several years and has been talking about it even longer. In fact...it's the second largest ride project in the park's history! Â So, that is implying that the 2010 attraction will be the second largest ride (in cost) in the park's history.

thrillerman1 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Is it possible this "ride project" could be an attraction in Splashin' Safari? Â Ooops...edited to spell Safari correctly. It's not SURFari lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsasamccormick Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 i am doubtful, unless it is a Deluge type of ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Intamin isn't known for building cheap coasters, but as Elissa pointed out, Tornado at Bakken is a great coaster that would still fit in the price range. Â If this is indeed a coaster from Intamin, what about a zacspin? Insane cost about seven million, so if depending on what Holiday World means by second largest ride, whether it be size, cost of Voyage or the entire cost of the Thanksgiving section, a sizable zacspin could be built. Sure it's unlikely, but if this is an Intamin, it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
