crispy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 :shock: I cannot believe it, I thought they would have totally rested on thier laurels adding a small drop ride last year in the Coyote Howl, But they have added a drop tower and two other flat rides Here are some pics from the cliff's website http://www.cliffs.net This is the Cliff Hanger This is the Musik Express And this is the Falling Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Wow! Good to see them adding some new stuff. I wonder if the drop ride is going in the middle of Rattler's helix. When we were there in 2003 they told us they were going to get a drop tower and that's where they wanted to put it. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'd be looking foward to Cliff Hanger the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well I'm hoping they didn't get rid of any of the other rides in the park, The Rock-o-plano is one of my wife's favorite rides. I am looking foward to the new rides and can't wait to ride the new drop tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well i know the falling star came from Indiana Beach. Take a look Here is a shot from the Indiana Beach Website And here is a shot from the Cliff's website No question about it, now I know they had or have a music express ride, but I cannot find any pics, so I don't know its the same one Man Cliff's site and Indiana Beaches site are very VERY simular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsTexas Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well I'm glad. When i was in Santa Fe for a week, we went down to Cliffs for a few hours. And it was a Blast! I never knew the New Mexico rattler would be such and awesome coaster. And overall the park was well staffed, and had plenty to do for the day. I don't know but the french fries were the best fries i ever tasted, it might be just me tho. So will they keep the Coyote Howl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 I don't know, but it is not listed on the site anymore, but that doesn't mean much, as they only list some of thier rides and not all for some reason They really need a better website I can't wait to ride the Cliff Hanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphish Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Nice. Those are solid additions. What kind of tower is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 I'm guessing an S&S tower, you know it shoots you up a couple of times, but we will see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Eraser Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Looks like a Fabbri tower. Is that a breast implant in your mouth? -kip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Its my old roomate, and my best friend, he had a bottle in his mouth, and I snapped a picture, suprisingly I was able to operate the camera while wasted, as we both were, so that is a fun drunk moment, but its just a drink bottle and thanks for clarifying the type of tower, mine was a total guess, I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfreeze6 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I'm almost positive that Musik Express is from Flat Ride Heck (Miracle Strip). And I didn't look at the tower close enough but it didn't look like the O2 tower from Miracle Strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well I have no idea, I just know S&S make a tower ride, so I am inclined to totaly believe you I am looking foward to the towerm ride and the Magic carpet type ride, but the Musik Express is just ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Looks to be a Larson/A.R.M. tower similar to what Cypress Gardens recieved. That would be a good sell for Larson and not to mention they are pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 as long as its fun, and if its placed in the Rattler Helix, that would be pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 i guess I was wrong about the Falling Star, I heard it came from Holiday World Did they have a Falling Star for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Just a few things,, Just because a park users a photo of a ride.. doesnt mean the one in the photo is what you get.. (think SixFLags) And that drop tower is a Larson/ARM "SuperSHot"tower.. It does NOT launch you up.. They have them at some fairs I have been to. Also they had it at IAAPA. http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index/ARMSuperShot.jpg Its the same style drop tower that Castles n Coasters got last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 With regards to the Falling star, I was cruising sites and noticed the picture, and looked for info about the ride on the Indiana Beach website, and the ride was not listed. So I assumed it was from that park but from what I have heard IB still has thiers, and Holiday World has sold thiers. One question, do you know how high the tower is? I drove by, and they kept the Coyote Howl, and took out the defuct Ski Lift, which was partially taken down when the put in the Rattler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Yeah why would tehy remove a ride they installed last year? Pay for it then remove it .. makes no sense. Hopefully they sold the skyride, it was for sale last year as they told us at Spring Con, and yes I think they more or less will put the tower in the Rattler helix, the owners during my tour inside the helix said they would really like something there. That's where we though the Coyote Howl was going to go at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Well my concern was first I didn't ride the Coyote Howl last year, and this year they completly removed any mention of it from thier site Cliff's park has upgraded, but the website is HORRIBLE So I was happey to see the top of the howl as I drove by the other day, I just hope they didn't get rid of any of the classic flat rides for the Musik Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Not like they have alot to work with, just hope the Rock-O-Plane doesn't go anywhere or the cool bumper cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 They NEED to buy out the wherehouses that surround the park and expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 And the strip mall in front .. maybe then they wouldn't of had to remove the skyride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 I never did understand why a park that SMALL would need a ski lift ride anyway, now the SCBB which is a basically a very long strip, the ride makes perfect sense. I believe the ride was taken down because of the Rattler, but I'm probably wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 The ride was removed because the turn-around was outside the park and they had a number of issues with people getting into the park for free and some complaints with kids throwing things at people, the Rattler had nothing to do with the removal.
