Kirkaf2002 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I was jus thinkin about some things KI could do to make some of the rides better or more fun for the guests to enjoy. Congo Falls is a short, boring ride. There isn't much they could do to it to make it any better but they could do somethings to it. I don't know how much money it would cost or what not or how long it would take but it's just an idea. They could enclose the hill going down or put some things around it kinda like they did with the wild thronberry's(still haven't rode that yet but not sure if its any better or not). But i went down to Islands of Adventure over the summer and jurrasic park is an awesome water ride its not anything special but the things around it is cool and the hill is enclosed so you don't know what to expect how big it is or anything which i liked alot. They could also enclose the hill going up and put some trees and stuff inside to make it jungle like and have like gorillas pop out and/or dump water around in there. jus an idea tho.

drewbari Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 It is a good idea, but I do not think it will fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 There's a little something called return on investment and you really can't market 15+ year old water ride BY ITSELF and expect to get that return on investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 But if you build a Vekoma inverted junior coaster next to it and put some fiberglass characters on it, then it's cool right? New for 2001 - a 29+ year old Log Flume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Kinda Guy Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Exactly. That's why I said BY ITSELF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkaf2002 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Lol. Woah hey no need to make fun. Just an idea that would never happen..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 If PKI would completely redo the area (which probabily wont be for a long time) and redo the theming on CF, then its a marketable property. Anything else would just be stupid. Plus you are creating more work for me.Theres already at least 12 speakers (That I can remember offhand) just in the queue, station and lift. How much more you want? Although thats not as bad as the 99 on Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI_Man Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Since TR:TR opened, the thememing in the queue is pretty dull and not scary to some guests. I was hoping if they would have the two chambers scare the living crap out people waiting to get on the ride. For instance: The statues in the first chamber be rigged with animatronics to act like its gonna get you. Secondly: the ride itself actually scare the living crap out of you with holographic images roll around to get the guest to **** himself while riding, the water jets the shoot out of the lava pit actually hit all of the riders not just the first row . Last but not least Pyros Explode around you to give the final sequence of the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The majority of guests at PKI are return visitors so scaring people wouldn't work, it would just get old. And yeah Sparky, I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Kinda Guy Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Lol. Woah hey no need to make fun. Just an idea that would never happen..lol Nah I wasn't making fun. It's a good idea just not very financially feasible. Besides, how dare you try to change my Congo Falls! Doing so requires Cletus, Barnyard, and myself written permission.
