Creed Bratton Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 My guess for 2013 is Luminosity and Action Zone re-theme/sprucing up. 2014 Giga. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Does anyone else think something like a dive machine would fit in well over where SOB is? I mean its alittle off the Action Zone, but it would definatly bring people to that side of the park. That side of the park will look empty in the skyline once that mamoth is gone, and something of similar size would fill the void. In my opinion dive machines look very impressive, and although their ride experience is not my favorite, the GP loves them and it would drawpeople to the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I agree I would love a dive machine and a record breaker one would be awesome, or a giga dive machine imagine that. I would always go for a giga too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 After visiting the park yesterday, specifically visiting the Action Zone (something I usually don't do), I looked over into this area, glanced up at SOB, and then down at Thunder Ally. Then I really got to thinking about how they have to up something there soon, and with the rumors about them retiring TA with SOB, I thought of an awesome and at least semi practical idea for the park. I know I'm just dreaming, but I think that a B&M invert similar to Talon would fit in great there. Just make it taller, faster, and lengthen/modify the layout to fit the area. Paint it bright colors kind of like Talon's, give it some cool lighting, and add a flat spin (like Talons final element) right about where the entrance to TA is, but put it over a pool with colored fountains (similar to those on I. Street). It would fit the Action Zone really well and give it a breath of fresh air and along with a renovation/clean-up of the rest of the AZ, this would make that area really come back to life. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don't get it when people say Action Zone has nothing.. Invertigo, Flight Deck, Delirium, Drop Tower, Congo Falls, Thunder Alley*...that doesn't seem like nothing to me. *maybe no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I never said the Action Zone has nothing, it actually has a lot, I'd say second to maybe the Coney Mall. But the Action Zone has nothing NEW. The last new thing there was Delirium right? And it seems as if every section of the park aside from the AZ has got some thing new in the past 10ish years (except maybe I. Street), and that leads to the area being over looked more or less. I think it's the Action Zones turn to get a new coaster to draw people to the area, clean it up, and make it look brand new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't make it any better than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.S.Coasters Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I agree on putting a station there. Action Zone needs a coaster! (besides Invertigo) Oktoberfest has one coaster. Action Zone has 2. I don't see why it needs something before Oktoberfest, when Action Zone's rides are newer too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think Oktoberfest needs something, just not a coaster. A coaster wouldn't fit (unless we remove the pond and put in a dive machine with a splash down! (kidding)), but I agree, maybe like a new log flume behind Sling Shot by Adventure Express, just one that doesn't destroy the area(shoot the rapids). But the reason I think AZ needs something first is not only because the park needs a coaster, but AZ seems to be in a state of disrepair, or at least the paths and the general feel. Where as there may not be a whole lot in Oktoberfest, at least it feels clean and kept well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My take on Oktoberfest is this, its more of a path way connecting Action Zone to Coney Mall. I know people probably hate hearing that but that is just my opinion. Out of every 5 visits I take to the park, I probably stop in Oktoberfest once. I personally beleive that it is one of the prettiest places in the park, just not much thrill; which is what I am looking for. I like it that way too. In my opinion, here are the real areas of the park: INternational Street, Planet Snoopy, AZ, Rivertown and Coney Mall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaitlinfree Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 i saw some of the stuff that you're talking about awhile on Delirium. but then soon realized it was what was left of king cobra... but brilliant idea.! it would be the perfect place for a giga. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastfan11 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Am I the only one who couldn't care less about getting a Giga? Even a coaster for that matter.

Diamondbacker Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 ^Agreed. I'd like a connecting pathway between Action Zone and X-Base, like many on here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 ^No one on here can grasp that a pathway from AZ to Xbase isn't practical because of.... Topography and Adventure Express. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Okay, so I like the thought of a path between x base crossing under Adventure Express more rides back there to X BASE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I really don't think it's going to happen. Remember the picture of SOB in relation to the Eiffel Tower? That land is not path friendly.Granted, anything could happen, but that idea needs to just go away for a while. There are other issues to be dealt with. See: Large pile O' wood.

LongliveKingsCobra Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 NO NOT UNDER AE! That's part of the mystique. For most of the ride you can't see the path. (Until a wild FOF appears I spose) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
