chickenbowl Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 ^ re: Coaster in Vancouver... nothing like feeling you are REALLY being pulled out of your seat, LOL! The drop parallel with the lift (halfway through the ride) has some of the most insane ejector in the back row. It's rare nowadays that I grasp for the lapbar out of surprise -- I can't wait to get back on that thing!
Nrthwnd Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 ^ That's the great thing about Coaster. You ride along at the beginning, all around the perimeter, with nothing much to really take you off guard. Then, there's that straight-a-way into... I love it. (And my fave bronco-riding spot, is Row 3, solo. My Rodeo Spot.) Pardon the "side chat" on this.
Khat26 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 an inverted Intamin accelerator Was it going to be like volcano at kd? The press release made it sound more like an inverted dragster or kk. I believe the top speed was 120 mph.
WillyMammoth24 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The Beastly Kingdom area at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This would have been amazing to experience in person.
TheCoasterKid211 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 ^ Wasn't that planned to be in the same area where Avatar Land is now?
Nrthwnd Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 ^ Yes, it was. But also closer to the main "river" for some fantasy stuff there, too. I still think it could exist, alongside Pandora, as Pandora doesn't represent all fantasy creatures.
Themonerd Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 Six Flags Fiesta Texas's GCI That ''leak'' was fake, though.
chickenbowl Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Six Flags Fiesta Texas's GCI That ''leak'' was fake, though. Correct. Also, I'd take any RMC over any GCI at this point (expect maybe Mountain Flyer in China)
Themonerd Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 But to be fair, GCI has been screwing with us since they've made some no limits videos with SFFT as the background.
BarryH Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Westcot The rumored Spaceship Earth: Time Racers was a neat idea, but I know some Disney fans would have cried blasphemy for putting a roller coster into a treasured ride.
Jetstar2 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Epcot, the real one that Walt Disney wanted. It would have changed history.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Disagree. Epcot would have been a totalitarian state with the behaviour of its citizens highly controlled by the Walt Disney Company, and ultimately by Disney himself. I think Orwell would have had some sharp words for Mr. Disney's plan had he lived to see them. I say that as a fan of Disney and proud to say he's a native son of my state. But that idea would have been a disaster, and we all should be glad it never became reality.
Canobie Coaster Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 ^^ I would be so freaked out riding that. Having a second hill over 400 feet smaller than the first drop with the track ending like that would be far scarier than anything currently at the Stratosphere tower.

Jason Maier Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I remember from watching "The Legacy of Arrow Development" documentary by ACE about the pipeline coaster that Arrow built a demo model of in the late 80's. It could have been a nice model (better than a Vekoma SLC)
grsupercity Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 The morgan hyper coaster MIA was supposed to get that CF canceled
ImagineerTim Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Symbolica! edit. sorry read the thread wrong. maybe I was to flashed from riding the ride Edited September 30, 2017 by ImagineerTim

tinaalsgirl Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 One of my favorite concepts that never happened was the "Enchanted Forest" expansion of Epcot's UK Pavilion that would have incorporated Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins, and Robin Hood. http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/uk.htm Also on my list of favorites that I can only hope may one day happen is the concept of an indoor coaster at Silver Dollar City themed to an ice factory:
