jynx242 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 ^ I don't like water parks IN theme parks. I love to go to a water park and absolutely love going to a theme park. When they are combined - ugh. I don't know why - but I loathe going to a water park inside a theme park. Anywho....back on topic - if it is a new water attraction, I am looking forward to Knoebel's take on it.
Hercules Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Skloosh is getting Rocky Mountained! Orrrrrrrrr....... Splash Mountained.
Woodie Warrior Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 So how did this Aquatrax rumor begin? Would definitely be a cool addition though
Garet Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 So how did this Aquatrax rumor begin? Would definitely be a cool addition though I think the first mention was this on page 204: Um, AQUATRAX!?!??!
A.J. Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Again, from the Facebook page - I was talking with one of the project leaders and he almost let the name of the 2015 project slip. They're such an IMPULSE-ive bunch. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Knoebels-Amusement-Resort/207828210550 Could we be seeing the first Great Coasters Backtrack installation?
jynx242 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That is not a word that I have ever associated with Knoebels . More and more intriguing
alilstronger Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 ^^ I just saw that and was trying to figure out how to do a screen shot to get in here. I am so slow with computers. So it looks as though something impulse is coming.

An intamin IMPULSE uses LIM's and an aquatrax uses LIM's. I still think we can keep this rumour going
Mrlittle Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Maybe we will see the first impulse wooden coaster. Edited February 12, 2014 by Mrlittle
GrapesLie Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Why I wouldn't be surprised if we do see our first launched wood coaster here! Knoebels likes doing things nobody else does and it would oddly fit in there! But impulse makes me feel this ride will launch in some way or another.
CPSFMMCW Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 At that link, someone posted a photo of Wicked Twister, and Knoebels replied saying "Nope"
Devins3 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That's a relief, I wouldn't think that Knoebels would add an impulse like wicked twister. While it may be a good addition I am also hoping it isn't a water coaster, don't the newer ones use LSMs for the lifts?
Dr. M Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Impulse doesn't mean "launched" does it? What other rides are associated with the word "impulse" aside from Intamin's inverted impulse coaster?
Philrad71 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Perhaps it's a ride themed to a woman's body mist?
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Impulse doesn't mean "launched" does it? What other rides are associated with the word "impulse" aside from Intamin's inverted impulse coaster? Well, in the coaster world, its used in relation to magnets and/or launches normally and Intimin, I believe, is the only company that uses the word. But the actual definition of the word is more vague: Impulse: In mechanics, something that changes the momentum of an object; the integral of a force with respect to time. So in coaster speak, any launch coaster could be called an impulse coaster because of the definition of the word Impulse. But in reality, their clue could mean literally anything that involves something that changes the momentum of something else.... LOL Sooo they aren't giving anything away really. Its really comes down to a sudden change. So Direction, Elevation, Speed, Decision. Anything really.
ahecht Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 "IMPULSE" could also refer to the 1974 William Shatner movie about a gigolo who seduces, robs, and kills lonely women.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 So a theme for a new haunted attraction!
Dr. M Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Maybe it was a typo and they really just meant they were impulsive.
DanM64 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Perhaps it's a ride themed to a woman's body mist? LOL!!!! I think Six Flags should make this product their next Vertical Velocity train wrap.
KBrylczyk Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I'm telling you guys, it's a Skloosh refurb. They're retrofitting it to run backwards. You're gonna be sent backwards out of the station, through the splashdown pool, then launched backwards up the drop, only to come right back down and get soaked. Basically, they're YOLO-ing Skloosh.
DerekRx Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 If we look at all the clues so far it's pretty easy to figure out: Impulse- it's an Intamin shuttle coaster Skloosh control panel- means it's being placed inside are around Skloosh Three states visited- The three states are gas, liquid, and solid so.... it's an Intamin air launched aquatrax shuttle into a brick wall! You're welcome
