Password121 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 My guess is the "OMG" factor relates to speed. Outside of that, I'm clueless.
robbalvey Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 I'm going to guess it is the worlds tallest, fastest, and longest ... Again, I will tell you that "gimmicks" don't impress me. It's very rare that I get excited over the worlds ..est, ..est, ..est, ANYTHING... How often is it that something that tries to break records ends up being the world's best in a category?
XYZ Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 How often is it that something that tries to break records ends up being the world's best in a category? Millennium Force.
Mechanic Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 How will the Lava Monster stack up in comparison?
larrygator Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Are you also SHOCKED AND AMAZED ELISSA?!?! Elissa is quite pleased. So its rodent themed and sponsored by Coke? Getting warmer? You forgot to include "no spinning"
robbalvey Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 How often is it that something that tries to break records ends up being the world's best in a category? Millennium Force. Hey. I never said it DOESN'T happen, but how often DOES it happen?

I never said it DOESN'T happen, but how often DOES it happen? I was just kidding around. I agree with you, record breaking rides usually aren't the best coasters.

Ugh, Magnum is AWFUL. I would not even THINK about going out of my way for that ride. (Sorry Magnum/CP fans, but it flat out sucks.) I usually skip it on visits to Cedar Point. (And my knees & thighs thank me!) Edited March 21, 2014 by robbalvey
TyRush Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I love some of the guesses It will truly be a game changer it seems, this will be such a nail biting wait!

BBH Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm fully expecting the announcement of the inverted RMC AquaTrax tilt coaster to come on time. 'I'm very interested to see what this actually turns out being, and Robb is usually a pretty good judge of ride quality so if he's excited then I see no reason to not look forward to this.

KingRCT3 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm guessing there will be a super deep tunnel, like I don't know, 60m into the ground. Or is that a gimmick? But after all we don't even know if it will be a coaster or not.
awclark Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Again, I will tell you that "gimmicks" don't impress me. It's very rare that I get excited over the worlds ..est, ..est, ..est, ANYTHING... How often is it that something that tries to break records ends up being the world's best in a category? I agree. Gimmicks just give the park an "advertisement trophy" to attempt to boost attendance and have a small claim to fame. It absolutely doesn't mean it's the best. I'm intrigued with this project though. If Robb's reaction was: "Wait, what? No. You're joking. This cannot possibly be real..." VERY few projects throughout the history of the industry come to mind to make someone have that kind of reaction... those being like when the concept art for B:TR/Inverted coaster was previewed and allegedly met with laughter, or X's original announcement/computer animation was met with gasps (I remember watching a video someone filmed from some enthusiast event that depicted the final design of X and everyone gasped in disbelief as the animation showed the seat rotation during the 1st drop). So with his reaction, I'm seeing this as a major game changer.
PVA62 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I had never heard of Kolmarden until today, but I have to say I'm extremely intrigued! Props to you Robb for being able to keep it a secret, I wouldn't be able to hold in something this exciting
CPSFMMCW Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 So just to recap, it chances are won't break a record for the worlds...blah blah blah you get the Point. But it will be a game changer! I wonder what it could be?!

Magnum isn't even in my top 5 coasters at Cedar Point, but when it opened in 1989, it was revolutionary. Edited March 21, 2014 by raptor6
rustyinpeace Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Wait, I think I've figured this out, is is a Wacky Worm???
MFJorts Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm going to guess it is the worlds tallest, fastest, and longest ... Again, I will tell you that "gimmicks" don't impress me. It's very rare that I get excited over the worlds ..est, ..est, ..est, ANYTHING... How often is it that something that tries to break records ends up being the world's best in a category? "Gimmick" to me suggests that is all the ride has going for it--like Son of Beast. But a well-designed RMC with those features would be game changing and also a good ride, so that was my logic at least. Glad to hear your input though, helps to refine our speculation!
glouthan Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 This new ride might feature some new riding "position" worthy of a WOW factor.
Meteornotes Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 I'm loving all this speculation. I have no idea what this could be, but as long as fire is involved, it should be awesome. dt
