Tanks4me05 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 They could have made it a rather exciting ride if they attempted to use some really powerful motors in King Kong's arms, and did some demented form of a Space Shot. IMO with the shaking, that would have been really fun. [steelhawgreference]At least I finally see real innovation at parks now.[/steelhawgreference.]

SharkTums Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Nice update, I'm a bit confused as to where the Splash Battle is going? Is it in that kind of dead indoors area near Revolution? Is it going to be covered?
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Completely awesome vid. of King Kong  Only in Europe I guess.  Although one will probably be in the states soon. I'd love to see parques reunidos stick one in Kennywood.
Dark Vampire Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Nice update, I'm a bit confused as to where the Splash Battle is going? Is it in that kind of dead indoors area near Revolution? Is it going to be covered? It is coming in Hall 2000, indoor area in front of Revolution. Here you can find a very old picture how hall 2000 was, with in the back the entrance of Revolution. So the Banana Battle (splash battle) is completely indoor. Â Â Revolution is going to be rethemed in jungle style. The question is how far will they be going with the retheming.
SharkTums Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 ^Thanks! Â Very interesting to put a water ride indoors, but I guess they already have an indoor logflume so why not!?
Dark Vampire Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 It is indeed special to have a indoor splash battle. Don't think there is another splash battle in the world that is indoor. Â When the park opens, I can provide you guys with new pictures. Â BTW, happy birthday Elissa!
kraken613 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 What company is making Dollywoods water battle ride? It looks different from this one..
Dark Vampire Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 The Banana Battle is open. Here are pictures from the press opening:   Pictures: Jelle Van Landuyt  Themeparkmagic.net  People who have done the splash battle are saying that you are getting incredibly wet. Not from the effects, but from the other guests in the boats. You cant make the visitors on the side wet, and they can't do it to you. So it comes down to it that you fight the other boats.
coasterfreaky Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Banana looks like the Mack cable-driven splash battle. You can see in some pics the cable in the water, and the round "pulley" that enables it to turn corners. This is different from Dollywood's Mack version which has booster pumps throughout the course of the ride. Two different, but similar rides. Interesante, thanks for posting the pics.
Hilltopper39 Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Seems like every comapny is makin some kind of splash battle type ride these days and seems like a lot of parks are buying them too. I don' think they look all that exciting but maybe I just need to ride one. Never been a huge fan of getting soaked just for the sake of getting saoked. I wish they'd attach some watter guns to a log flume boat and make and interactive log ride now that's be a blast
coasterke Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) A couple of days ago, 2 Fabiola, a Belgian Eurodance band (yes it's Eurodance, you can wiki that ^^) gave a live DJ set in the center of Bobbejaanland's indoor rollercoaster ®Evolution.  Here's the result: (not my video) Those of you that have done this ride will have a better view of what's going on ofcourse. I think it rocks, awesome idea! And as far as I know, I've never seen anything like it.  Personally I'd love to see Aerosmith doing that on the Rock'n'roller . Edited March 24, 2010 by Moose
Coastinmiller Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 That was such a great ride anyway. I would have loved to seen this in person, would have been a great experience.
andyuk200523 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Great Idea, kinda reminds me of the Rock 'n' Rollercoasters, this idea would have been great back in the day on Black Hole at Alton.
MidtownCoaster Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Interesting concept. It's definitely a way to add audio to a plain dark coaster without retrofitting it. I would really be interested in seeing an enclosed spinning mouse (probably need to be extended) with this idea. Have the queue underneath with the dj above, and then ride the coaster circling around with the music and lights pumping. If they didn't have it already, I could see Disney or Universal doing wonders with this.
okinawaboy11 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Oh my god. I think I would have melted. I'd be enjoying the music more than the coaster.
socalMAN123 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Wow, that's rad! If only Rockin Space Mountain could've been like this... ---Brent
Groteslurf Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Even if it's 'eurotrash' music, I love the concept.
Mochtroid Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 This is awesome. Given the choice I'd do this all day.
Wild 1 Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Wow that is awsome! It is much better then what SFGAV did to Skull Mountain to add music to the ride (A single speaker in the middle of the ride....) Much better!
Loefet Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 This is so much more awesome then the normal soundtrack/video. Â I would really love to go on it during this event!!
DiSab Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 That's pretty sweet. It would be really cool to see this at a US park.
coasterke Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Anyone know the name of the song?Edit: 2 Fabiola - Lift You Up, but the version used here is a modern remix.
