CPSFMMCW Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Anyone heard any updates on this project? Seems strange they announced the announcement...and then nothing. I wonder what they're waiting for. And does anyone know if its gonna open in 2014 or 2015? Cuz I thought it said 2014, but at this rate, it will probably open in 2015...

robbalvey Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 We have been told recently that there were some delays getting the location finalized, but that we should be hearing something "soon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I think that means the PolerCoaster is going to be built! Â Hopefully... Â *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Wow I was really hoping to hear of a location by now so I could think about trips I'm going to take in the future. The off season is boring. SFOG opens in 49 days, so that's something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosoraptor Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The only theme park expansions I've heard of in Florida are the new roller coaster that is supposedly coming to Universal's Islands of Adventure and the Disney Avatar expansion. I haven't heard anything about a roller coaster at Avatar though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu K Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 so Beckham is setting up a soccer team in Miami IS this where the polo coaster is going? maybe as part of the new stadium? Â Just a thought. Â Stu K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I can imagine that what ever site they have in mind they will need to get zoning approval. Governments are known to move at a snails pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 ^ Exactly. Also once the spot is picked, you could have problems with people near by not wanting the noise and a 500 ft building next to them. Still hoping we find out more soon.

Nrthwnd Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 ^ Make sure it's built on a stable, stilted, set of docks, i.e. RCT1? 2? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragsterfan420 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 http://http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/12/17/3824576/homestead-reaches-for-the-sky.html  While I somewhat doubt it, this could be a clue to the Florida location. Orlando is probably the most feasible area, but South Florida has been trying to establish amusement style attractions, and parks, for decades. Despite something seemingly insane for the area, maybe this tallest coaster, I can't see any park or themed ride taking off in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 We'll I don't really see why, or don't understand about the south Florida deal of brining attractions for which I think it would be really magnificent for Miami area, I maybe wrong, but my guess is maybe south Florida is the Everglades boundaries with many animals! Â Just my point of view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRnR Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 ^ South Florida is one of the biggest metro areas in the country. Add in the huge tourist pull of South Beach, cruises, people driving to the Keys, etc. it actually has a lot more tourism than you may expect.

gerstlaueringvar Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 As long as this thing shows up, I highly doubt it won't get a huge crowd. The problem is where and when. Wish the prototype could be success without a large amount of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I found this story from March 3, 2014, which claims that there will be a formal announcement in 30 days . . . well, so much for that, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapesLie Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ^ LMFAO Right! I'm not surprised but I do hope we see one of these things built this tall or taller eventually! It really could be awesome I'd think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Maybe the marketing department will wait until construction actually starts, or when it's halfway up. I feel it's like how Lagoon's Marketing is where Air Race isn't even announced until a week before the park opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeggedSole Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Pretty sure no one should have been/be holding their breath! Â Yeah, I'm afraid this is turning out similar to the Hammerhead Stall project that was proposed for Orlando a number of years ago. Well, at least a Hammerhead Stall eventually showed up in Taiwan. Hopefully, a polercoaster will eventually get built somewhere. (I wonder if the one proposed for that Georgia sports complex is still in the works? That place sounded like an out-of-the-way location for a polercoaster, but what do I know?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palavos3 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Personally, I hope this ride never gets built. This looks like the cheapest, most unoriginal way to break 500 feet. Just look at the thing. There will be no airtime and no large drop. Plus they should have sick buckets waiting at the bottom. Sorry Mr. Kitchen, you had an excellent idea with the skycoaster, but the polercoaster looks like a real clunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I can see this project easily falling through. Its a huge investment and would be difficult to really see the return on it. Sure you would have the tallest coaster, but Formula Rossa doesn't exactly prove that the ____-est correlates to profitable. Might be a tough sell to investors to get funding.
