Santa's Village AZoosment Park Discussion Thread

[Azoosment@SV]

Quick update, things are going together very quickly ahead of our May 7th opening! Here is our new scrambler ride "Mega Velocity" going up next to the new home of the Carousel.

Looks pretty good. Is this the location where the Wildcat coaster was?

[Azoosment@SV]

Well the 2016 season is here and so far its been great. Last weekend was some really great weather for families to come and ride the Snowball ride again!

[Azoosment@SV]

We have some exciting news to share! There is something super exciting opening in 2017. Here is a sneak peak!

2017!!!

[John Peck]

cool. looks like a new pinfari-esq coaster to replace the wildcat. Como town in Minneapolis built one last season, and it's a great family ride if this is what this is.

[Henry M]

I hope it is not a Pinfari inverted coaster! However, it looks like some sort of dark ride, I am thinking a haunted house.

[Azoosment@SV]

Here is another tease of our 2017 project. Ground work is underway and the details such as paint and themeing details are being finalized. We really can't wait to let you all in on what we have planned, it's going to be a HUGE announcement for us!

^ Aaaaand it's a roller coaster! HOORAY!

[I Like Theme Parks.]

It's a coaster, but I'm completely stumped on what kind it is. I'm going with sort of a dark ride/small coaster combo like Black Diamond.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

My Friend and I were talking about what Santa's Village needs:

 

His

- Raven like Wooden Coaster

- Log Flume

- Zamperla Endeavor

- Junior Hyper

 

Mine

- Flying Scooters

- Star Flyer

- Simulator

- GCI Wooden Coaster

- Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster

- Chance Morgan Junior Hyper

[Mr. Corn]

I really hope its a dark ride-coaster combo!

[Azoosment@SV]

Another teaser, plus a look at our updated logo!

 

2017 Hint: It's not an S&S Freefly

My guess is an S&S El Loco. Also I like the new logo. Looks much cleaner than the old one. Will your roadside sign get renovated to show it?

[TheJewelOfJool]

I did some measuring in Google Maps, and an El Loco, a Launched El Loco, and a Junior El Loco could theoretically fit in the area of the new addition. A 4D Free Spin can't fit unless they move some paths around.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

And Now for my Wish that probably won't happen:

 

Hire Gravity Group or GCI to remake The Bobs

[Mr. Corn]

I would like to see a Switchback clone, with a bigger drop, and then extend the spike taller and tilt it backwards, so you'd fall beyond vertical backwards down the spike. Just imagine that

[RollingCoasting]

What if this coaster is actually going to be better than SFGAm's Joker? I wonder how that'll affect crowds

[DirkFunk]

There's a lot of wish list stuff happening for something that's probably just an Interpark Zyklon/Galaxi. Y'all need to slow your roll.

Yeah, we're starting to sound like the people in the Kings Dominion thread....

[TheJewelOfJool]

Even though it's pretty lackluster compared to other rides that are about the same size, an Interpark Zyklon would be a good fit at the park. It's cheap, and a thrilling addition for smaller, family owned parks.

[Geauga Dog]

Didn't they already have a Galaxi-type coaster that lasted a year and then they removed it? They said it was a big announcement so I think it's something better than that.

There's the front of Wade Shows' new Galaxi. Now look at those hints again.

 

A brand new Galaxi coaster is a HUGE get for a small family amusement park that was abandoned for a few years. Yes: they had a similar coaster from Fun Spot. And that ride had a number of mechanical gremlins that a brand new ride wouldn't be likely to have when coupled with manufacturer support and the like. Sorry to be that dude, but "THEY SAID ITS HUGE ITS GOTTA BE A TREX/EL LOCO" type stuff needs to stop. It doesn't help anyone.

[RollingCoasting]

Might have to make it to the park next year if they're getting a new coaster (Regardless of what is)

 

As of right now, though, I think I'd rather go to Donely's Wild West. Their kiddie coaster has ejector airtime XD

Credits aren't getting themselves. I'll go - doesn't seem like now is the best time given that they have nothing that is intended for an adult. At least this isn't totally embarrassing to ride without a kid.

[RollingCoasting]

If you're talking about Donely's, I didn't go as an adult lol. My 5th grade class (This was quite a few years ago) had a field trip to Donely's and we basically got ERT on the coaster. I was expecting a tame, kiddie coaster, but I found myself grasping the lap-bar. I'd say it's worth a trip, they have a nice train ride as well
