Vortex would look pretty awesome in the colors of Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure....

Dolphins on the projectors (in rotation with snakes, bats and trees) would be kinda hilarious.

^Called what?

Most Cedar Fair parks, including Kings Island, will normally make this kind of a big announcement in August, aka, coaster enthusiast Christmas.

Fun fact- one of the elephant handlers at the Cincinnati Zoo is a UC Band alumni!

That newer GCI MF car looks sweet. Looks a bit more comfy and I love the low slung front for an open air feel.

Even without the disclaimer in the description about it being a concept, the dialogue in the video should have been a dead give away that it wasn't an actual announcement.

Six Flags may want to buy SeaWorld

Maybe we'll get lucky and Herschend will swoop in at the last second and steal the Busch parks away from FUN and SIX. One can dream... -
But you have to have a few bigger hills to burn off the momentum of a multi-ton train going 90+ mph. You don't want too much work on the brake runs. A few tall overbanks and maybe a 200 ft camelback would be nice. The idea behind most of the gigas (sans Steel Dragon 2000) has been blending taller elements with elements that showcase their speed.

The idea of SIX owning the Busch Gardens parks depresses me. -
Why use the DA land when you got less tree clearing to do when you go towards Banshee and have access to the rest of the SOB plot?

I also think the layout could reach as far as Bat's lift, maybe even further.

The Blockbuster Theme Park that {almost} Happened {and how Kings Island had a hand in stopping it}
silver2005 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I wonder if the perpetually planned European Paramount Park spawned from these ideas. It also does seem odd that Miami doesn't have a major theme park nearby.- 1 reply

The layout I predict is starting in X-Base, heading behind the Flight of Fear building (possibly hopping over it on the return run), and having most of its layout behind Banshee since it's already cleared. That route would lead to the least tree clearing as well. The terrain should serve to make the drop larger than the lift.
