Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I looked up pictures of Giraffica, and I couldn't really find any distinct differences. It looks about the same height as well.

 

As much as I'd love to see a Christmas expansion, I don't see it happening soon. I feel like it's just supposed to be there for shops/entrance stuff. I think Fourth of Julay is obviously more ride based. But I very well may be wrong. Heck I probably am, they could be converting it for all I know. I'm not sure which I see coming first: Christmas/4th of July expansion or a big coaster. I could see justification for both. Like for expansion, they need infrastructure, as someone said a few pages back. But maybe they need a steel coaster to increase attendance in order to afford that expansion. Holiday World has plenty of different options that they could go with at this point.

Major amen to that. Not only for guest satisfaction, which would definitely be higher, but for themselves too I'd say. It's will's baby and I'm sure they'd want to preserve that for him. With its current state, let's just say it's been better. Back to the guest satisfaction, for me personally it would be better than El Toro. I LOVE the layout, it's just too much with all the shuffling. I think a combination of better trains (fit for tight turns) and topper track/GCI Legend-type refurb (that thing is SMOOTH where they retracked, like the drop). Topper track would be better long-term I'm sure though.

Giraffica new house in china ?

That is Divertical in Italy. It has a complete coaster circuit, and its lift hill is over 60 feet taller than Pilgrims Plunge was. It opened in 2012.

Edit, unless for some reason, they painted another one of these intamin water coasters identical colors to Divertical.

I actually would rather have a flyer or invert, though. The park has one coaster with inversions. I feel that would balance it a bit more. Then maybe the park could take the RMC train. It's kinda sad to think that this is all like 10 years away though.

Yes. It's depressing to think that these awesome additions could come in the prime of your life when you have the capabilities to come and go as you please...

It doesn't bother me, so go ahead and come at me with all the sarcastic remarks you want. But I've just been noticing on other threads: are you trying to piss people off? There's always some rude remark or something it seems like, and it's 99% of the time completely unnecessary. But maybe that's just me. I don't know, you do you man.

The picture above is at Ankapark in Turkey. certainly not Divertical although easy mistake to make as they are the same colour.

 

Weirdly there are now 3 of them the same colours.

This is Hydro Racer at Wanda Xishuangbanna in China which has the same colour scheme again.

 

I'm pretty certain the Ankapark ride at the top is the old Giraffica, Pilgrims Plunge from Holiday World.

My reasoning being the track used on the drop is unique as it allows water to run down it. Divertical, Hydro Racer and Typhoon all have just plain coaster track. Also look closely at the drop on the Ankapark ride and you can see some unpainted grey sections near the bottom.

LOL! I even added the smiley to make sure you knew I was saying that in a joking term and I don't emoji. Don't waste your time being butt hurt over something that wasn't meant to be one bit offensive. Seriously, dude. Just no.

^Nah Prozach. I think for the most part the folks who have had confrontation with you understand where you are coming from now. You never intend to be a jerk and definitely never intend to be offensive. Its the type of situation where if you said the same things in person it would be interpreted correctly. As others have posted, it is hard to convey emotion correctly through text.

 

Also, its not your fault you are so damn witty that you always win the fights

Agreed, see the end of our disagreement on the CP thread.
