COASTER FREAK 11 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Its cool they are bringing the Steeple Chase style back, but it makes me wonder - Did anyone ask for this? I do enjoy the type of ride, but I also wonder if anyone will buy it. Or, maybe there something special about this version that the older style doesn't have? (Other then a Dinosaur theme, haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Great pictures so far! Idk how I missed this was already happening. You guys seriously produce the best updates for this event. Looking forward to more! Land Before Time meets Magic School Bus? Is this the 90s again?? Also, Time Traveler trains look great!

(Other then a Dinosaur theme, haha) I'm thinking the 42" minimum is a selling point in today's industry when 48" seems to be standard for "family" rides.

But that is a very small group, and its for one park. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fun to see it come back into the industry. We'll just have to wait and see who, if any one, buys the ride.
