What about an inverted coaster where the train cars are circular, holding six people each and the car independently rotates throughout the ride?

Maybe it will be a candidate for a Rocky Mountain makeover.

Don't forget that he will be sure to say he was thinking it would be something else all along.

But that's not any fun now is it? You're killing the hype, man! With a website specifically dedicated to KI, speculation and hype is half the fun of getting a new coaster.... buzzkill. I have a feeling the 1-31 tweet was referencing the date the ride will be announced in August! Ah....but how many months have less than 31 days?

30 days has September, April, June, and November All the rest have 31 February has 28 except during leap year when it has 29

I like the coaster no matter where I sit....different strokes for different folks... Dedicated to Mean Streak

Wonder if they brought out the yellow contraption. If so it still took two hours to get them down... I cant imagine if the wind was strong enough to shut it down at 30 mph, stops the ride, and then increases to 50 or 60 mph with tornado-like conditions. These things should automatically lower if high-wind is detected.

He was referring to the fact that Facons Fury will not be at the top of the tower for long and usually in the down position....

If it is announced on a day the park is open and in a public place, it's open to all visitors. If it is announced that media only are invited....well unless you are a part of a media outlet...no.....Most of the time the park wants word of mouth advertising so it's done with fanfare to current park guests....they will announce to us when they are ready if we are allowed to be there.

There you go....excellent theming!

Interesting....guess I'll have to make a trip to Soak City the next time I'm there.

I'm confused...is this a clue to what has changed in theming in Soak City?

Too bad you never had a chance to ride it....It was an exciting and yet dysfunctional ride.

Ah....Cliff Notes.....

Why not read them? There are lots of fun facts, pictures and information that is flowing through this thread....you might even meet friends who share your interests!

Would you tell me about the non paint theme pieces? I rarely go to Soak City, so they would go unnoticed by me.

The Bat... Doesn't Canada's Wonderland (a Cedar Fair park) have a coaster named The Bat?....Hmmmm.....would save on copywriting a new name...... Also Shaggy brought up The Bat theme when the Owls started appearing a couple o' hundred pages ago.....do you think maybe.....???

There is a certain part of the zone that smells like raw sewage....although it adds to the foul atmosphere of Halloween Haunt, it is still rather unpleasant during the heat of summer...Anyway, I hope the zone gets a redo....I'm pretty sure it is in the cards, if it is in the budget....What would you like to see as a "makeover"?

Good things come to those who wait....

. Also....the blue supports are kind of similar to the color of blue on Invertigo....possible zone color theming too?

As did I! I wonder if anyone is at the park this morning that can try to find what Scheid was looking at... Careful....It might be a Little Orphan Annie Ovaltine decoder ring....

I think Coasting for Kids is initiated by the park...maybe the same thing only initiated by the website....maybe as a marathon for a day, it might even attract more membership to the site.

Wow!....I'd have to jump like a rollercoaster tycoon peep at the entrance and say "Coaster 1 is too intense for me" How come it couldn't be done. The track would be underneath you like a normal b&m splash down. Only the car would be upside down. Also if this is rumored to be above 200ft the splash down would act as sort of a brake. Didn't say that it couldn't...and I'm sure someday it could.....just too intense for Mr. Poo Pants (me)!

Yesssss this is what I was alluding to some 100 pages ago! (not an actual splashdown....simulated!!!!)
