HCLcoasters Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I went on one of these last Thursday at Jungle Jim's in Rehobeth Deleware. It's called Anaconda and it's a great ride but this looks three times as long faster with more airtime and a better ride in general. I can't wait but I would've liked a coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 WildeBeest looks awesome...that looks like a ton of fun. Too bad it'll get huge lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeboy23 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 The POV's really make it look good. Â 2010 is already looking busy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2J2003Y2J Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This looks really fun. I can't wait for May to get here now. Hope they have ERT at Holiwood Nights for this thing. This will be my first water coaster when I ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow, not a single complaint yet...this is amazing. Â But seriously, I can't wait from 2010. While I was expecting a ProSlide Rocket, this thing blows my mind. I love the name, color scheme, layout, and that conveyor lift is quite awesome. Is that a world's first?

dmaxsba2408 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The ride looks like it would be a great fun. Â To bad my pale skin can't handle the sun Have a hard enough time trying to keep enough sunblock (spf48) on for regular rides at theme parks, I'd be a lobster if I went to a water park. I need a 24hr park so I can come at night and enjoy myself on water rides. Â What kind of sim program do they make these videos with they look amazing.

PriestofSyrinx Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow! Thats all I can say. Â It looks like there could be some air time on this ride. Which would be epic for the entire water park industry. Â Â More parks should follow this method. Way to go Koch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I just got back from the park, can't wait until next years coaster event. Plus not climbing any stairs to get to it....awesome. I was in the theatre about 30 minutes early and knew it was a water coaster before (well, really, who didn't know), but I also knew what name was. As for capacity and line management. There is a separate load and unload platform. Â As for the dry park, I don't think they are getting anything. Possibly some small improvements.

KGA29 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 From watching the videos it looks like a really really fun ride and a unique addition to the (already nice) water park. Now if I could just get out to Santa Claus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDFAN Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It looks like a Proslide Rocket to be as it is launched by LIMS and Proslide is the only company that does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Menefee Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 What kind of sim program do they make these videos with they look amazing. Â I'm guessing most of it was created in Maya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFrombaugh Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Looks better than Deluge to me. Yet another reason for me to hit up HW some time. Â Now I look forward to the inevitable debate about whether or not this is a credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I was already thinking about that. I mean, it has a lift, a drop, possibly air time, why couldn't be? The only way I will count it is if the programs I use to count add it. Which most are based off of RCDB so probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow! Thats all I can say. Â It looks like there could be some air time on this ride. Which would be epic for the entire water park industry. I've gotten air time on Crush'n'Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon. Air time on water slides isn't exactly a new thing.

spaceace12 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I forgot that Will said tree clearing could begin as early as next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownStreak Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It looks AWESOME! Now if someone in Orlando (hint hint Aquatica) would drop some $$$ and build one to rival Crush n Gusher, we would be happy campers down here! I think a HW trip is long overdue for me next summer. Too early to start planning?  Definitely NOT too early...I'm already planning my Graduation Theme Park Marathon scheduled to start a week after I graduate from CSU next May...  On another note however= There are many rafts running in that model demo video. What happens if a raft valleys? Does this ever happen? It would seem possible for it to happen and it looks as though eight rafts would crash into each other if that happened.

holidayworld08 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 ^There's a usually an emergency LIM and Water shutoff button on these types of slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 There are many rafts running in that model demo video. What happens if a raft valleys? Does this ever happen? It would seem possible for it to happen and it looks as though eight rafts would crash into each other if that happened. On Supertubes Hydrocoaster at Whitewater World there is actually a touch screen at the top that shows a diagram of the layout which shows the occupied blocks, so in many ways it uses similar procedures to how you'd run a coaster. When the rafts valley (It does happen), the op comes and rescues them by undoing zipper on the netting that covers the slide, pulling the raft out and carrying it back manually. I was already thinking about that. I mean, it has a lift, a drop, possibly air time, why couldn't be? But there are log flumes that have lifts, drops, and airtime (Though from my personal experiences with this model of slide, there is next to no airtime on the hills...It wouldn't be safe anway since there aren't upstops preventing the raft from flying off) Â Besides, it can't be a 'credit' anyway because it is a water slide, and not a roller coaster.

coasterfan21 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Wow this looks amazing, and hopefully it has some nice airtime. I'm wishing SFNE's was as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Looks amazing. It's funny that just when I start to think I'm losing interest in theme parks, something amazing like this comes out, and fairly near by to keep me interested. I would love to make a trip to ride this and Deluge next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I have whiter-shade-of-pale skin, and I live in Florida. Get yourself a rash guard shirt and some board shorts. That leaves very little skin exposed - less than if you are walking around the park in a shorts and a t-shirt. I use plain old "No-Ad" SPF 45 babies waterproof sunblock. Also, I try to hit the waterpark after 2PM. Â I've only been on Crush-n-Gusher, which I thought was amazing fun. I would LOVE to try this one!!!

TheRapidsNerd Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Thought it might be a Deluge type thing, but not on this scale. Wow! Impressive and cool. Congrats to our friends at Holiday World! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This ride looks awesome! One of the best sounding water slides I have ever heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My biggest question is whether or not I'll be able to see the construction from the road. Living only a few miles away allows me to make regular trips to see how they've progressed. I watched the construction of Pilgrims Plunge from start to finish because I passed by HW every day to go to school. If I can't see it from the road, it won't be worth my time to drive down, seeing as how I've graduated. Â But I will be sure to make one last trip this year to see the projected site up close, and then again next year to tame it! Â Also, why'd they have to put it behind the Bahari? There's plenty of room between Kima Bay and Bakuli. It just doesn't seem to make much sense to put it so far back in the water park. Unless they have even bigger things planned for future seasons...

spaceace12 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I bet you won't be able to see the construction. Too far back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
