August 1, 201610 yr 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.
August 1, 201610 yr It would be fun for me! I love 1. Acting and 2. Making things even more fun than they already are (WWC)...
August 1, 201610 yr 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.
August 1, 201610 yr 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.

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.
August 2, 201610 yr 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.
August 2, 201610 yr I wonder if they will use augmented reality instead of virtual reality. That would be quite something.
August 2, 201610 yr 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.
August 2, 201610 yr 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!

That way the passengers are not blind with the headset in place.
August 2, 201610 yr 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).
August 2, 201610 yr ^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.
August 2, 201610 yr ^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.
August 2, 201610 yr ^ 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. Maybe it will just be the Wyndham Wyzard in there creeping everyone out.

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.
August 5, 201610 yr In honor of my nicknaming Mystic Timbers as Mr. T, I suggest this kind of thing may be what happens in the shed:
August 5, 201610 yr Oh, I got it. The Racer Blue train can be MacGyver and the Red and can be MacGrubber.
August 5, 201610 yr 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.

August 12, 201610 yr 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
