RyanTPM Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 ^Thats in Turkey, I don't know whether it's Giraffica or a totally new one though, interesting thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykunkel1031 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I looked up pictures of Giraffica, and I couldn't really find any distinct differences. It looks about the same height as well. Â 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleparks77 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Before any of this expansion/new ride stuff happens, something major HAS TO be done about The Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tykunkel1031 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJewelOfJool Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Giraffica new house in china ? That's Divertical, IIRC. Completely different ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwesterner Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livai Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 LOL this is not divertical [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Â Â Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 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...

tykunkel1031 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picture above is at Ankapark in Turkey. certainly not Divertical although easy mistake to make as they are the same colour. Â 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. Â 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You'd probably just get a temporary ban for arguing with anyone else. Think of it as probation. However, I'm pretty well hated around here so I don't think anyone would mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) ^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.

tykunkel1031 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 ^^ Right. I didn't mean to come off as a prick or anything. I know I did, and should've just bitten my tongue though. Thank you for being mature enough to accept an apology unlike some keyboard warriors on the Internet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
