welchce Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Welche: CF will not put in any ride called Banshee. That was to be to name for what is now called Mantis and was changed due to not being politically correct in CF's eyes. http://www.rcdb.com/id7.htm I realized they were going to call it that, hence why I suggested it. I still think it's a sweet name even though it's "a female spirit whose wail was said to foretell a death in the family." You probably shouldn't be thinking about death while on a roller coaster...

Changmanky Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Somebody asked me one day when i was in the park how come they dont retheme the rides that look out of place. Topgun, she said needed to be back in X-base, which now does make sense with the aircraft theme back there but like i told her you would lose its wooded "valley" element. She aaid they do need to fix the "shaking" that the stopping station does when the cars come to the end. I told her once a upon a time they were'nt. its just Paramount decided to put things in certain places, even though i said to her that it would be awesome if TR:TR,Adventure Express, and Congo Falls were all together, but i dont see that happening. But to get back to a new ride----Yeah it seems obvious that Rivertown needs something, but what?? they would have to go back about an acre to put anything big in that part of the park or take something away. and it doesnt need anything else to go.

Changmanky Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 And if they decided to put it right by The Beast, they will lose the "wooded" element that i think gives Rivertown its just due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOFirehawkFAN Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Top gun is old. It is no longer one of the main attrations in the park. Hey it just needs some TLC give it a pretty new paint job with maybe some fog and lights (like the warning signs say it already has) even better add all this when they rename it and it will get some more love.

FOFirehawkFAN Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Top Gun is fun. Short and sweet. If they did anything to it they should get Vekoma to lengthen it. take out the turn at the top of the lift hill and make a new drop leading into the expansion. Then there should be a second lift hill leading into the old first drop. This should definitely increase ridership. Many other Arrow suspendeds have two lift hills. They could even replace the trains with Vekoma's floorless suspended swinging trains. Thats the best idea ive heard yet for Top Gun, esp the floorless trains! It really would be a new ride they could call it Top Gun's Revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsAimeeP Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I know we have a LOT of coaster fans here, but I think they need a good haunted house/dark ride. They could make it like the Enchanted Voyage-a boat ride-that way the water could give you a cooler, damp, almost clammy feeling. It could be broken down into different sections-they could have an area pay homage to the great bad guys-Freddy, Jason, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. There could also be a dungeon area, an "experiment gone awry", graveyard. About 2/3 of the way through, they could have you exit the boats and riders would have to navigate through a maze to fully exit the attraction. Considering all of the different things that scare people, the designers would only be limited by their imaginations in creating a really good, scary ride.

Guest TombraiderTy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 ^I like the name and location, but an invert may appear too-similar to a flyer... and I'd imagine a floorless or diver more for a war-type ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Modified Raptor in X-Base with camouflage colors. Name: Battleground. Yeah because X-Base isnt crowded enough with FoF and Firehawk. Lets add another coaster there. Plus if KI puts in an invert I think we would all want an original layout, what Raptor South? Seriously ride additions over the next few years, they need some good flats. Something in Coney Mall, like a Jump2, SkySwing, Sky Swatter, Energy Storm, Power Surge, or what I see as a great need a Giant Wheel! Just my thoughts.

Guest TombraiderTy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 ^They could expand the pathway system in X-Base and widen the pathway into the area. Take out Death Row and you have some great new area there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
