Seaworld Attractions Announced!
SonofBaconator replied to ThrillKingsFitzy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Iron Gwazi.... How long did it take you guys to think of that name? -
Some things I think would be cool to add. Change in the projections in the shed Bring back the train but this time have people ride the entire length of the ride and go past creepy scenes I heard they stopped train operations for 2 reasons: 1 because the addition of MT shortened the length of the attraction to make it not worth it. 2 because the trains have a certain amount of run-time on their boilers so the park opted Haunt in favor of Winterfest) Change up Boo Blasters with extra props, and more creepy music I heard scareactors are no longer allowed in the ride building for safety reasons. @XGatorHead 8904 would know Add different audio in the Adventure Express tunnels

I'm personally not a fan of the 12 days of Christmas train ride. I'd rather have the train go past different scenes and have different types of music play like at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Carowinds
SonofBaconator replied to flightoffear1996's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Just a quick survey, which is more likely for Carowinds- RMC or GCI? I think either could come at some point in the future. If GCI I'd think of something like MT or Gold Strinker in their old DA area. If it was RMC I would say the same area but a little more intense, like Goliath at SFGA. I doubt Hurler would get the RMC treatment. -
That area seems like good Haunt real estate. I wonder why it isn't used anymore.
-
I said I'd be back after the "Giga Speculation Thread" It seems like RMC is a likely candidate for one of our next BIG coasters down the road. Our last 200ft wooden, however, didn't do so well. Thoughts? I'll give my opinions later on once this thread picks up.

300ft tall if you're standing at the bottom of the drop -
I wonder why the Great Pumpkin Fest got moved to Planet Snoopy this season.

New Possible Attraction in Area 72 With Orion
SonofBaconator replied to ThrillKingsFitzy's topic in Rumors
The only one's I'd be interested in are Tempest, Tilt-a-whirl, and the Flying Bobs. The rest could go to a smaller capacity park like Michigan's Adventure. -
New Possible Attraction in Area 72 With Orion
SonofBaconator replied to ThrillKingsFitzy's topic in Rumors
Coney doesn't have rides to match KI's capacity. -
Unless Intamin's maintenance costs go down significantly, I wouldn't see Cedar Fair working with them anytime soon. Notice how the last time the chain got something from them was nearly 10 years ago. There's a reason for that.

Nerd. Just kidding, I envy you

Six Flags 2020 Announcements
SonofBaconator replied to MaxxForce's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I wonder how they're going to do 4 trains. Will they have a separate unload station? -
-
Its funny how some instagram pages claim they got to it first
-
Powerpoint but still. I made this for a pre-Orion/Firehawk removal X-Base. I expanded to the left of Flight of Fear and added some flats while moving over Slingshot and Skyflyer as well as created a secondary pathway.
-
I think a pay per ride flat needs to be moved to Area 72 sometime in the coming seasons.

The Amusement Park Railroad Thread
SonofBaconator replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I'd prefer KD to rehab their railroad and bring back #552. Paramount didn't take care of the railroad well since it didn't serve as a transport ride like ours does. -
If I was KD, I would want to stay away from launched coasters for a while. Its closest competition, BGW, is getting Pantheon which will be the premier launched coaster of the state when it opens. Kings Dominion tends to differentiate themselves from BGW in many ways- for example, they don't have a dive, invert or hyper. I think a traditional chainlift wing coaster by B&M is the safest bet and can give the people of Virginia, and even the east coast, something different and reliable.

Bold prediction, but I think Mondo Monsoon will be removed in favor of a water coaster sometime in the future.

Six Flags 2020 Announcements

I like comic books as much as the next guy but I'm kind of tired of all the DC themed rides.
