larrygator Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) La Ronde's new ride... And what would that new ride be? Please provide a link if you have one also. Edited October 8, 2012 by larrygator
_koppen Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 It might be a Euro-fighter like Takabisha, with the crazy banana roll and super-steep stalling drop. Might also be like that new crazy launched spinner with inversions I am surprised that Intamin isn't building a new coaster so far next year They most defiantly do, we just don't know about them yet.
Loefet Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I am surprised that Intamin isn't building a new coaster so far next year So you mean the two that apparently are going to the new park Vialand in Turkey don't count?
robbalvey Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Remember to add the two new Vegas water parks.

OISU8P Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Idlewild is getting a new Lazy River for 2013. http://idlewild.com/lazyriver/
_koppen Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 One more of the three 10-inversion coasters have been confirmed now for China. (if rcdb count as confirmation, I leave to somebody else to decide) RCDB Another one is going to Hopi Hari, and one more is coming. Intamin said they were all going on different continents, and the last one is rumored for Europe, in a park in Italy.
HeitorAntunes Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 _koppen, But the Hopi Hari's 10 inversion is custom. It isn't a conventional 10 inversion. At any rate that's what the president of the park said.
australianalex Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Now that it's on RCDB I guess you could add Sea World, Australia's new Watercoaster. Not sure what made RCDB add it to the database, but hopefully that means it's confirmed.
Voxelmatic Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 It seems to me like Intamin is getting a surge in the 10-inversion coaster business. It would be nice to get one in the US at least .
larrygator Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 I think I've added all the confirmed additions that have been announced to date.
Anac0nda Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Linnanmäki replaces their Ghost train for something new, but I highly doubt it will be anything but a new Ghost train.
backrow Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Lake Compounce is adding a big Wavepool in the new section of Crocodile Cove and it will be announced the end of December.
larrygator Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Lake Compounce is adding a big Wavepool in the new section of Crocodile Cove and it will be announced the end of December. Thanks, I mistakenly thought I had already added this. I noticed that ground clearing had already started when I was there two weeks ago. Edited November 9, 2012 by larrygator
JayTricky Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Confirmed Euro-fighter for Alton Towers. Gerstlauer. March 2013 opening. 'World beating' coaster' along with new worlds first element. World beating rumoured to be most inversions (14+), and first element being a revolving track. Apologies if this has been posted on this thread, feel free to remove Rob.
ambe_bambe Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 You can add Zamperla Air Race to the list for Dreamworld.
Arrow Dynamics fan Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 It seems to me like Intamin is getting a surge in the 10-inversion coaster business. It would be nice to get one in the US at least . Agreed! The only thing is I would prefer that they not use just Heartline Rolls for half of the inversions. Why not throw in a batwing, a zero-G roll, a cutback, a wraparound corkscrew, a twisted horseshoe roll, or something other than 5 heartline rolls?
australianalex Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I really want to see the Intamin 12 inversion concept to be made a reality. Straight drop into turn + norwegian loop, loop, cobra roll, 4 corkscrews and 3 heart line rolls = awesome!
Gav Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 It seems to me like Intamin is getting a surge in the 10-inversion coaster business. It would be nice to get one in the US at least . Agreed!

Why not throw in a batwing, a zero-G roll, a cutback, a wraparound corkscrew, a twisted horseshoe roll, or something other than 5 heartline rolls? The reason Collosus got 5 heartline rolls is because they are an energy efficient element, so they were basically able to use the 8 inversion layout as is, and just tack the last two inversions on the end to make 10. To do what you describe, with a batwing, zero-g, cutback etc etc would necessitate a bigger first drop, and subsequently, the first few inversions needing to be a bit bigger too to account for that.
larrygator Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I try to keep the first post updated on a regular basis, but continue to let me know if I forget anything that has been confirmed by the manufacturer or the park. Edited January 2, 2013 by larrygator
PeggedSole Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hello TPR! Long-time lurker and first-time poster so here goes nothing... I thought I'd add Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA to this 2013 list. According to the WA website, they're getting "Tail Spin" which appears to be a Zamperla Disk-O. For what it's worth, some sort of kiddie ride called "Wacky Wheels" is also mentioned.
