River Town Rumor

[MarketingExpress]

It actually is not that large of an issue.

Consider the simple fact that many areas of the park are not connected directly to access roads.

As many problems as TRTR has had in the past, there needs to be a direct access road to it

With the exception of IJ there are no major rides that do not have access roads leading to them.

That's odd....I see all these highway signs around Italian Job....

Shh...that's the secret underground highway that no one knows about.

[Racerrider]

I don't think you picked up on the interpreters sarcasm there.

The Interpreter being sarcastic?

Say it ain't so!

For me, anything that would restore some of the old River Town atmosphere would be great. A roller coaster would rock but personally, I'd like to see TR:TR rethemed as an abandoned mine shaft. The whole hidden Asian temple thing just doesn't fit in that area of the park.

i never paid much attintion to that but it is true river town and asia don't go together

[coaster_junky]

There is an access road in between The Beast and TR;TR I do not see any problem with a line heading in that direction. The only problem is most parks do not like to "cut off" access to rides like TR;TR for one reason or another.

Access roads can be moved or re-designed.

for example the access road to the left side of Flight of Fear was re-designed for Firehawk

I heard a new a roller coaster is going to be in rivertown on the lake in 2008

Where exactly do you plan to put this so-called "Coaster in Rivertown"? All I see is The Beast, TR:TR, and a Lake. Where's the station going to go? I'm Curious. Besides, we just put in Firehawk. Look For 2009 or 2010

There is room for CF to do whatever they want at KI, it only uses up about 1/2 of the land it actually owns.

[The Interpreter]

Except, except, except...quite a bit of the remaining land is wetlands, has restricted usage, is buffer for adjoining landowners or is difficult terrain that would not be inexpensive to use.

Some but no all, they still have pleanty of room to do whatever they want.

Would any of this wetlands happen to sit underneath The Vortex?

I cant see a coaster or anything for that matter going back into the woods by The Beast. That would ruin the effect The Beast has. AKA.Feeling of flying through the woods with nothing surounding you and the feeling of out of view from anyonee

[DropZone99]

I think Rivertown is in need for a new ride.. there is only 1 good ride back there, and of course that is The Beast... plus if there was a new ride back there... TRTR, Beast, and WWC would get a better ridership.

You should see what Kings Dominion has done to the area around The Grizzly. Once heavily wooded, now you can see Hurler and much of the rest of the park quite easily--in fact it is hard NOT to.

Sigh.

Looking at the Google Map, the bird's eye view one (not map), they could use the employee building that used to have the photo spot as station. The coaster would launh out, the curve around the lake and back behind the International Showplace. The only problem I see with this is the screams every minute you hear from the ride whn watching a show...

[Beast1979]

I see the station going in the big open area next to International showplace and winding around the lake. Or, the station being the TR:TR building and the chain lift going over the Midway, then doing all sorts of inversions over the lake, then doing one last little bunny hop over the midway, before pulling into the station.

Then turn off your computer! Or, go to a new thread!

[Beast1979]

Drop Coaster: New for 2008! I could see that. But really, this isn't even a rumor. It was started by some guy who thought it was a good idea. Seriously, WHERE'S THE PROOF?!

[Face/off1]

I heard a new a roller coaster is going to be in rivertown on the lake in 2008

i heard from people there that tomb raider is being torn down aws. a motor exploded during a test run and you could hear it from everywhere in the park it's cheaper to knock it down and build something else. so, yeah, it's suppose to be a steel coaster.

Do you have any proof of any of this or are you just speculating?

[DropZone99]

I could see that happening, but i don't think it did.. I hope it did. If they where to tear down TRTR i wouldn't want them placing a new ride there.. Rivertown would finally be able to expand!

I'm gonna guess speculating. I think it would be known if TR's motor had exploded.

^ Double post! If they were to remove TR:TR, I'd say get a decent Top Spin to replace it!

TR's motor is jacked up and that's why all the themeing has been taken out of it. They need to get the themeing out so they can work on it.

It did not explode. It is just messed up.
