RickardSjoden Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah I don't see them build anything too tall at this park. Kolmården is a zoo which mainly targets families with children. So I don't think it'll have any drop above 150ft or any inversions. It could be something lengthy with a launch somewhere along the track and featuring some novelty of some kind, no idea what that could be though. I thought so too, but maybe we are wrong. Maybe they are stepping up one level to attract a wider target group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I keep thinking, maybe it's got to do with some kind of "mountain coaster"-like set up. Which can provide long stretches, big corners, into tunnels (of fire?) and so on. All around the park itself, and including a tall mountainous start to it all. Another idee from mee!

_koppen Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I would love for it to feature lots of dragons. I don't care what it is as long as there is dragons. Probably won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmatsuNL Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 What would be awesome is if it has this Phantom's Revenge thing going on, with a drop about halfway through the ride that's significantly larger than the first one (assuming it's a roller coaster, of course).

jedimaster1227 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) I'm convinced this is a working version of Action Park's famed looping water slide. It was said riders' backs burned like a wildfire after exiting it. But in all seriousness, I'm excited for whatever this turns out to be. I love seeing little-known parks like this spring into the limelight with major additions. Edited March 23, 2014 by jedimaster1227 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^That loop looks tight! (considering the drop) It probably pulled some nice Gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ^I have read on WeirdNJ that the park offered 100$ to any employee who was brave enough to try it. One employee DID try it and he said "100$ doesn't buy enough alcohol to forget this slide". So yay I guess it was pretty terrifying and strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. M Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 The more you read about that slide, the crazier it gets. It had an escape hatch for people who didn't make it around the loop, which was about half the people who rode. Seriously, google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Are there any steel coasters that duel with wooden coasters? I don't think it's probably for this project, but just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. M Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I wonder if Robb knew he was just creating another random ideas-that-will-probably-never-happen-anywhere-that-I-just-thought-of-five-seconds-ago-and-decided-to-post thread.

Garet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm hoping for something like that dynamic attractions video that was sadly deleted a few months ago. The one with the free-fall drop, launch and the pivoting track with the screen and finally the sideways sloping track at the end. Maybe themed around escaping a burning forest and tumbling over cliffs and sliding down hills etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the park seems to think they are getting a new ride as well, seeing how they created a teaser video and the concept photo. The way I read it, he's just joking - not saying that Robb made this a huge greatest-farfetched-ideas-ever thread (like the one we already have) himself, but that it's turned in to that because people are running wild with ideas just because he said it was a game-changer.

gisco Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 ^Where did Robb say it was going to be a game changer? He said it would blow people away and was amazing but did he ever say it was a game changer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Was talking with someone that haven't signed any NDA and who was happy share bits about Wildfire Too bad that they are going to release this now just to compete with Helix, it may end up to be a case of too much too soon. But it sounds terrific though Edited March 24, 2014 by Loefet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the park seems to think they are getting a new ride as well, seeing how they created a teaser video and the concept photo. I was just pointing out what the thread turned into, and was wondering, jokingly, if Robb was aware ahead of time that's what would happen. After all, not like there's much to really talk about at this point. "Holy cow big news, but its a secret!" "Oh wow it must be a racing giga!" Not implying that was actually his motivation for making the thread. I would never accuse Rob of doing things to artificially inflate TPR's numbers. Who could even concieve of such a thing?

markysharky17 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 On roller coaster database it's listed as an extreme wooden coaster. Here come an RMC woodie with inversions and a hole that goes underground through a ring of fire. Maybe it will be launched? That's what I hope for!!!

Dr. M Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Whenever I see the logo it reminds me of: I don't think we should rule out the possibility that the new ride is actually a gateway to the planes of Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neovortex2k Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Dont know if anyone has said this all ready but what about a wooden coaster with a vertical slash more than vertical drop and maybe inversions that have only previously been seen on a steel coaster? My other thought is a tall drop into a completely underground coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A113 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Inverted Family RMC, possibly? Not much of a gimmick, but it's also innovative (but also a little predictable, given RMC's resume). Looking forward for what this turns out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
