TheCoasterKid211 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 It's a good idea to put VR on this...not so sold on putting them on Kraken. Agreed. The VR treatment makes more sense on small family coasters. (Fun) Spot on. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
CoasterGuy06 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Visited the Orlando Park for the first time yesterday. Got there right as some rain was ending, so nobody was there. The employee to guest ration was probably very close to 1:1. Got in 5 rides on White Lightning, 3 on Freedom Flyer (1 with VR), plus a couple on the Screaming Swing and Enterprise. Staff was very friendly and had a great time! If I lived in the area I could easily see myself visiting several times a month to get a few rides in.
coasterbill Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 You didn't ride the Paratrooper of death? Damn, you missed out.
DILinator Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 It looks like I'll be making my way back to Florida with my kids in November this year, and both Fun Spot locations will definitely be on my main to-do list! I wouldn't be surprised if my kids get more enjoyment out of them, than they do at Sea World or BGT!
coasterbill Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Heads up for anyone in the Orlando area... From Fun Spot's Facebook page.
robbalvey Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 They have announced the name of the ride... "Mine Blower"
ScreaminNewEngland Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Well that's one terrible name...lol
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I don't think it's terrible. I'm just wondering what, or if, there is any correlation to anything. I don't recall anything about a Mine theme. Does the area have any kind of mining history that they are tapping into? So... ...I'm more confused by the name as opposed to thinking it's terrible.
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I don't think it's terrible. I'm just wondering what, or if, there is any correlation to anything. I don't recall anything about a Mine theme. Does the area have any kind of mining history that they are tapping into? So... ...I'm more confused by the name as opposed to thinking it's terrible. My thoughts exactly. It almost makes me want to believe it's a typo and is supposed to be "Mind Blower." Regardless of the name, it looks like it will be a great little ride.
BotanicalStig Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 ^^My guess is a vaguely mine-cart looking train theme. I would be surprised to see the theming go beyond that. Something like white lightning... but more miney. The name is sort of a lame play on words... but that's ok. Hope to see more construction photos popping up, can't wait for my next trip to orlando!
Erik Johnson Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Curious if this is the logo. Mine Blower
chickenbowl Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Name doesn't matter - I'm positive this will be a fun little coaster! I like that Orlando will have two matching small wood coasters by different companies!
LeoBruz199 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 That name sure is... mineblowing! ... I'll see myself out.
coasterbill Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Name doesn't matter - I'm positive this will be a fun little coaster! This... and I'm sure the name will grow on everyone eventually. I mean, "Mystic Timbers" is an unbelievably dumb name and we're already used to it. Amazingly, I think of the 3 wood coasters coming to America next year, this one has the best name almost by default.
Erik Johnson Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Here we go! Dynamite mine blasting trains!
coasterbill Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I love that they said "inverted" just so I can watch enthusiasts lose their sh*t over another dumb technicality. I didn't even notice at first, but then I read the comments on Facebook...
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 ^I agree. It looks like 3 dueling penisis comin' right at ya! I'm all for this.
SteelForceless Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Not a fan of the name but as long as the coaster is as good or better than White Lightning then it you could name it the worst name you could think of and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
Imagineer Josh Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I'm so excited to see the barrel roll. Since it's not as wide as other coasters like Hades 360, I'm interested to see how Gravity Group will do it.
thepoint4life23 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Any progress on this ride? Also any one have any idea when this will Open i know its Almost the March. Just hoping this will be open when i go early June!
