IndyGuy4KI Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I still remember how upset many enthusiasts were with the name "Kingda Ka." I recently remember complains about the name Gatekeeper, and I thought that was the most appropriate name for that coaster! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^Every time I hear or see the name Gatekeeper, the word Keymaster pops into my head, and I suspect it always will. Who you gonna call? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 ^ I think the name wasn't "epic" enough according to some.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It was considered too exotic, too hard to remember and not as grand as Top Thrill Dragster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock703 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I would like to see a underground walkthrough cave themed like Raiders Of The Lost Arc, and just as challenging as in the movie. Except at the end instead of a golden statue there is a Dip n Dots cart and instead of Dip n Dots your handed a secret voucher with a list of the next 5 years of new attractions. Just kidding, i would really like to see Action Zone expanded and somehow connect to X-Base and several more rides and a record braking B&M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 glock703's new. I figured he deserved a brake today. Or was making witty cracks about B&M coasters (see also Bavarian Beetle, the poster, not the coaster!)

Maverick00 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think Kingda Ka is a great name, not sure what it exactly means though. I don't think anybody really does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Wasn't it promoted as being "King of Coasters" in an african language, but it really wasn't? Kind of like Verbolten really isn't a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 While we are on the topic of upcoming attractions, TG93 talked to me the other day about a new expansion opportunity now that Thunder Ally is gone. Check it out, Coneys walkway could actually be expanded into Action Zone, thus eliminating the dead end status of the zone. It just squeezes by Sling Shot. The only thing that would need to be changed is the entry and exit for Adventure Express (which couldn't hurt, the ride needs some love and I think a better entrance may help its popularity. Plus, with the rumors about a Action Zone expansion, and the talk on this site of it maybe taking over Oktoberfest, it makes sense to re-profile AEs entry for a more modern touch if AZ does expand into the area. What do you think, I just think it is crazy how the path expands perfectly into the lonely back area or AZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Finally, that basketball game would be gone! As an added note, upon passing Sling Shot, it could angle slightly in any direction toward AZ so it is not one long path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think the path should end where Flight Deck's plaza begins. Having a path spitting out visitors right at the ride's entrance couldn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 That Path would be great, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I love this idea. Great job showing it, too! They could add a new restaurant or a couple new small attractions on that path as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think the path would help with the congestion that sometimes occurs in front of slingshot, however I don't know if it offers enough of a short cut for KI to go ahead with it. Also it helps guests bypass all the places to spend money already in place on the current path. I really enjoyed studying the layout and giving it thought, and love the enthusiasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I don't know how I feel about it. Maybe it's just me, but isn't that cutting it a little close to Adventure Express? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Halpert Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I don't know how I feel about it. Maybe it's just me, but isn't that cutting it a little close to Adventure Express? and Son of Beast wasn't? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It was, but it's gone now. And there is a difference between a highly congested path and a wall of wood. To me, Adventure Express is one of those rides that is in a whole other scene than the rest of the park, and if a path went right past it, I feel like it would ruin the ambiance of the ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Halpert Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Ahh okay that makes more sense. Wow it's going to be weird to ride Adventure Express without that huge hunk of wood towering next to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It'll be better. I can't wait to ride it. One might say I'm craving it. Crypt, who cross threads here and there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I, for one, hope the next big attraction is a surprise. Some of the announcement's thunder is stolen when the full specs and even the name are leaked weeks early, as happened with Gatekeeper. I do hope for some teasers and hints, of course! Everyone's attempts to interpret them is part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think this path would be a great idea! You'd just have to place shops/food outlets along it so guests can be trapped into spending money. Or perhaps you could place a stage along the side of it that could host a Luminosity style show. Also, it could host Blood Drums in October to prevent that terrible congestion. Never mind. After thinking about it, I decided it would really ruin AE's atmosphere. And Terp... He's really bugging me with all this sign talk. It might as well as me a bunch of clown talk to me. I'll just wait for a clear sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
