TTD-120-420 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Does anybody really think this will be anything other than a water ride/log flume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I highly doubt a coaster painted Red is going to be called White Lightning. Then again I have seen stranger things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 A lot of us keep looking for the tie with Morganton WV, a lot of little things, a few steel plants, moonshine, but a lot of overlooking about it's big claim to fame. Never repeated anywhere the Morganton Personal Rapid Transit System is rather unique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Pe...l_Rapid_Transit I think it holds the clues. Especially in the way the system operates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, the only other one around is in California, near California's Great America, and named BART... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, the only other one around is in California, near California's Great America, and named BART... I was going off of this statement on WiKi "An experiment in new public transportation methods at the time, it has now operated with good reliability for over thirty years, though it has not been replicated elsewhere to date" But hey BART seems very similar so I dunno, either way I think it has something to do with it.

The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Both were funded at the same time and were demonstration projects. They share technologies. Yet another example of why Wikipedia is not the most reliable of sources... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 For what it's worth, I found a picture of the Crystal Rock Castle at CP on an old postcard... In the 20s, the location was turned into a sandwich shop since alcohol couldn't be served under prohibition. The building was turned into a maitenance shop in the early 50s and demolished in 1960.

Diamondback FOF Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Huh. I wonder when they will set an official date. Maybe afetr Kd's and CarW's coasters are announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 And what about this? Laboring over these 2010 plans is exhausting! Does this mean this ride's going to be huge or unique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corn4ahead Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 And what about this? Laboring over these 2010 plans is exhausting! Does this mean this ride's going to be huge or unique? Or possibly (hopefully) both!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast1979 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 This one was pretty straight forward: Definitely NOT taking the Beemer out for a spin today. Or next year for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Browns Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 "Definitely NOT taking the Beemer out for a spin today. Or next year for that matter." Twitter quote from today. Although I was secretly hoping for a B&M flyer it looks like the new ride won't be a beemer of any kind. I'm pretty much settled on the idea thats its a water ride with some stupid gimick like Perlious plunge or Journey to Atlantis at Seaworld SA.

corn4ahead Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 This means GCI then. CP would not hype up a freaking water ride would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Browns Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Why not? Its their job to hype up whatever they have. They aren't going to say "just a crappy new water ride. you should probably just go to KD this year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Why not? Holiday World did. If it's record breaking or a major ride, then I don't see why they wouldn't. And where does the GCI come from? Have we ruled out all other manufacturers? Jackson, hopping it's a GCI too, but trying to be realistic.

minime15834 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 ok so you're all pretty much instantly crossing B&M off your list...why? they said NOT a beemer. this instantly makes me think it will be one. if they built everything they didn't say it wouldn't be, then they'd get like one of everything. this is the first one they said they wouldn't get. so they should get it. did that make sense?
