Diamondbacker Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I'm thinking something along the lines of Haunted Mansion at Disney, where actors and special effects come into play. Although having actors in there for long periods of time would be no fun for them. Did anyone else notice that the track seems curved as you enter the shed? Maybe there's a slight banked turn into the station. I wouldn't think that would be possible for a wood coaster, but I like thinking creatively. 3 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 It would be fun for me! I love 1. Acting and 2. Making things even more fun than they already are (WWC)... 6 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Considering it's at the very end of the ride, I believe it will be something anti-climatic similar to the end of Adventure Express. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I know exactly what's in the shed: Silver2005! 16 Quote
Tanna Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 If they want suggestions, I'd love to see brass rings we can try to grab in the shed Ouch! Hopefully the brass rings wouldn't be affixed strongly in their place. It would hurt to have the cart go forward and have my wrist try to stay behind. 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 ^^I will be doing the auditions if they have them again this year. 2 Quote
KI Guy Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 How about a jojo roll? See Hydra. I think it's just a block with a movie scene. 1 Quote

Hopefully the brass rings wouldn't be affixed strongly in their place. It would hurt to have the cart go forward and have my wrist try to stay behind. It used to be a standard feature on Carousels. There is a dispenser which you would reach out and try to grab a ring from, then there was a hole or slot you would try to toss the ring through. Only a few parks still have carousels with ring dispensers. 5 Quote
Wanderer Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 As much as I would hate to see it, it seems like the perfect theme for a ride with VR. Vines climbing the track as you fly by, trees coming to life with the twists, turns, and drops as you dodge their swinging branches. Then finally pulling into the shed for safety only to have the train finally swept up out of nowhere. I feel like it could be done really well, and be very thrilling, but I would also want to be able to enjoy the ride without the input from the virtual world. 4 Quote
CP Maverick Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I wonder if they will use augmented reality instead of virtual reality. That would be quite something. 1 Quote
Logan Goddard Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I feel like a Vervbolten style show room is much more likely then VR. VR really can hurt capacity, which is not like a people eater B&M already. Iron Dragon is the only one I have seen VR be fine on and it is run in specific hours and reservation style. 1 Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 If it was some spectacular ride element that the park could hype to sell 2017 season passes, they would be hyping it to sell 2017 season passes! 2 Quote

AintNutinElse2Do Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Alright after having digested this for a bit I've got a new theory. While I would love a mad house type element I am leaning against it. Same goes for a drop track. So to what I think it is a section of trick track. Could even have the train move slowly forward and backward over the trick track while the video makes it appear as nature tugging against the train. Then entering into the next straight stretch which would be a great place for drop track but I digress. This could be a place for a Vortex tunnel (I think that's what they are called where the cylinder around generally a walking bridge spins around you). 1 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 ^I am somewhat intrigued by this and some similar ideas but my concern is increasing the frequency of "protein spills". Those cyclinders don't make me sick but extremely disoriented. 1 Quote
AintNutinElse2Do Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 ^Agree, which while I would enjoy it. It's part of my issue with the whole shed idea. You take a low height requirement coaster that seems welcoming to a wide variety of ages and add a gimmick that may likely alienate a large portion of the audience you gained in the coaster itself. 3 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 ^ which would indicate that it will not be extremely "thrilling" and rather tame. ^ which would indicate that it will not be extremely "thrilling" and rather tame.

I only saw a very brief clip on the Travel Channel of of people grabbing a ring on a carousel at Kennywood , but I didn't know the logistics. Thanks. I only saw hands taking a ring from a socket. 2 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 In honor of my nicknaming Mystic Timbers as Mr. T, I suggest this kind of thing may be what happens in the shed: 2 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Oh, I got it. The Racer Blue train can be MacGyver and the Red and can be MacGrubber. Quote
BB1 Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 IT'S A TREEHOUSE TO FIGHT OFF ALL THE NAYSAYERS! If it's a treehouse, then Cedar Fair needs to get in touch with FOX and make a TreeHouse of Horror in the shed for Halloween! In all seriousness though the shed looks as if it could be an innovative touch on the coaster, making it truly "Mystic" in some FX. 2 Quote

WailsLikeABanshee Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I thought this was something we should maybe think about. It was actually a pretty interesting read. http://www.dailyitem.com/news/northumberland_county/roller-coaster-company-has-four-rides-in-the-works/article_8d8349c0-e3f9-5a73-871e-7dcc679dc1d4.html Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk 2 Quote
