TyRush Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Whatever this ends up being I think we will still be very surprised. Very excited for the announcement
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I kind of think that some of the ride manufacturers are already getting their idea from this thread. 350 posts in total, over half of them are things that have never been done before.
JimmyBo Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I'm surprised that no one has said this yet... But it's going to be amazing Dark Ride WITH BOOBIES! We all know Robb loves boobs on dark rides. Boobs and fire in a deep dark tunnel... sounds like an amazing ride! Jimmy 'family boobies ride for the win' Bo
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 ^ Fire and boobs. Kind of like the suntanning accident on FD3.
downunder Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 A multi-launch coaster that utilises the terrain with a big-for-Europe first drop would be good. Theming involving boobies is pretty much law in Sweden.
DanTheBooker Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 I'm legitimately expecting launched wood, or drop tower
Cedar Fair Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 It's posted on RCDB that it's a wooden sit down (So no dark ride with boobies. Sorry Rob.) I would imagine it's something like a launched woodie with an indoor launched section at the beginning that includes a mini-show with fire and maybe 2-4 inversions. Then again, this is a family park. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up that it's a extended kiddie coaster through a part of the forest. But that's just me...
Cedar Fair Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Wooden Aquatrax inverting over fire, maybe? I'd guess not... But maybe it will have a water landing during its course.

I don't understand why people keep thinking this ride is going to need lots and lots of "gimmicks" - I personally cannot stand rides that are "gimmicky" and more often than not, rides with gimmicks do not turn out to be top five rides.
robbalvey Posted April 6, 2014 Author Posted April 6, 2014 ^ Also, that RCDB entry is erroneous. They haven't been given any information and are just guessing based on things they have heard.
tarheel1231 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 It's going to be a wacky worm that has rings around it that light up when a train passes by.

I was thinking more along the lines of Furious Baco, but maybe a little longer. Or is that a gimmic?
KBrylczyk Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 [attachment=0]DSC_1292.JPG[/attachment] IT'S A NEW DIGGERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
_koppen Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 [attachment=0]DSC_1292.JPG[/attachment] I would think that's for the new kiddie area for 2015.

berryfarm Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I say go be indoor wood roller coaster done by RMC / dark ride. Indoor wooden launched invert shooting gallery? No shooting gallery that to much go on, most like tell history about fire and people.
CPSFMMCW Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ok so what I'm getting out of this is that it doesn't have any gimmick to it, however its still a game changer. huh. Mind boggling. Well, guess we'll find out in just a couple of days.
Tanks4me05 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^The terms aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Take Outlaw Run for example: First wooden coaster that was properly engineered for inversions, steepest drop on a wooden coaster, and it ends up in 3rd place on the Mitch Hawker Wood Coaster Poll and won Best New Amusement Park Ride for the 2013 Golden Ticket Awards.

Yup. I would consider Outlaw Run a "game changer" - same thing with Balder, El Toro, Expedition GeForce, Spider-Man, etc, and none of those really did anything "new" or "gimmicky", they just did what they do the BEST. I never said there wouldn't be any gimmicks (maybe there are, maybe there aren't...) but I can tell you I'm more excited about this ride than when, let's say Top Thrill Dragster was announced, but this also could be that I look at this ride and think "This has potential to be a 'BEST IN THE WORLD', which IMO is a game changer." Any ride that makes you re-think your top five anything, is something VERY notable. And I think this ride will absolutely make people re-arrage their top five, probably top two, and maybe knock out their #1. But what? Roller Coaster? Dark Ride? Log Flume? Bench? I guess we'll find out soon!
downunder Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Outlaw Run is my number one, a longer version of Outlaw Run would rock my world. Not much longer to go until the Laser Snake Horse Fire Coaster from Hades announcement. I wonder if this will be Ikea's first attempt at a coaster? Edited April 7, 2014 by downunder
cal1br3tto Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^^That might be the most exciting post yet. Good thing we don't have long to wait!
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^^^ That makes waiting very struggling! Even only a few days to go. ^^ Then I guess it will get rough in a few months just like Drachen Fire.
