sammmmmy 0 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Well. I hope the splash isn't similar to pilgrims plunge... Link to post Share on other sites
Lamoure 0 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 ^^I cannot understand that addition (IF it's true, now!), they have some awesome waterrides and this new "coaster" would be similar to the 'Niagara'-Splashboat. (Of course not 100% similar, it's bigger and the splash is tiny...) Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 200 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 ^I think the suggestion is that it's not JUST a splashdown as Pilgrim's Plunge, but more like Shoot the Rapids or an Intamin version of the Mack water coasters. Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon Khan 2 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 or again, something was lost in translation and it's only the lift system that is similar to PP's ? Link to post Share on other sites
Six Flags Enthuseast 0 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It seems like things have definitely changed a lot since the original speculation began! But I'm still happy that Mirabalandia is getting an awesome new ride; if it is similar to Pilgrim's Plunge, then hopefully it will have a much better splash than both it and Perilous Plunge.

coasterfreak101 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 45* drop just sounds exactly like Pilgrim's Plunge... Link to post Share on other sites
Fooz 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Whatever it is, it costs more than I305, and almost as much a Leviathan if that figure is true. Projects this year are very costly! Link to post Share on other sites
Luukardinho 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Does anyone know how many Pilgrim's Plunge has cost? Link to post Share on other sites

coasterfreak101 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Oh wow, definitely skipped over that one. Hmm...any idea when the announcement is coming? Link to post Share on other sites
_koppen 0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Oh wow, definitely skipped over that one. Hmm...any idea when the announcement is coming? Â I'm really hoping it will be soon! Â When was ISpeed announced? Link to post Share on other sites
matteocrepaldi 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I had bad news for those waiting for the official announcement; the press releases about the 2012 project will be sent out for the International Tourism exhibition in Milan which takes place around FEBRUARY! I got this news directly from Mirabilandia's official press office. Â I hope things will start to move at the park in order to get some idea from looking at the site.

Hopefully we'll know what it is by then though. I have faith that this park will get something pretty epic, if it's going to be big they have to start building it soon...  Dave Link to post Share on other sites
matteocrepaldi 0 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Today Mirabilandia was open and mirathebest from Theparks.it was there to take some photos. I think this is the most interesting one: Â Â As you can see the land they are clearing is pretty big! When the park will be closed it will be possible to take photos from the other side of the lake as it happened with iSpeed! Link to post Share on other sites
gisco 1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nice to see them adding to the park. Can't wait to see all the details and the start of construction. Link to post Share on other sites
TPDave 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Wow, that's a huge plot, and it looks like people can still get picture of it from off property Link to post Share on other sites
Meteornotes 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 That is indeed a large open area. My usual theory that a park is going to invest in a new churro cart could be totally wrong in this case... Â dt Link to post Share on other sites
sammmmmy 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 That definitely looks like place for an intamin water coaster similar to Pilgrim's. Link to post Share on other sites
matteocrepaldi 0 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Please, can you all stop saying that this will be a Piligrims Plunge clone? Ok, it will have a similar elevator system but the rest won't be the same. It will be a ROLLER COASTER with water. It will interact with it but it will not soak the riders. It will NOT be an aquatrax (I'm sorry for all the Aquatrax enthusiasts).  In my opinion and from what I've heard, I say it will be some kind of a mega coaster without inversion and a non soaking splash element used as a break. I still can't imagine the 45° drop in all this but we'll see it there some day. Link to post Share on other sites
