DeltaFlyer Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I’d like to see the 48-seat model of the Zamperla Endeavor. I know it likely won’t be a ride, but something for the future. I miss Witches’ Wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big rumor I have heard is that in 2020, the beloved former family boat ride Paddlewheel Excursions is supposed to return. I would also not rule out some sort of dark ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 There has been land clearing.

Benjamin22 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 It simply makes almost no sense to add a rollercoaster this upcoming year. They’re already going to have a lot of growth next year with the success of the Gold pass. Adding a rollercoaster wouldn’t do that much in increasing the attendance more. Also it’d make much more sense for them to have already announced it & attempt to advertise it with Orion to boast platinum pass sales. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klabergian Empire Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Slightly off topic, but I just now watched a pov of Steel Vengeance.... and all I have to say (well, its more of a question) is HOW CAN THE FIT COASTER INSIDE OF COASTER???

The year will be focused on history for the 150th to a degree and they have confirmed a river expedition attraction. I wouldn't be surprised to see it include the return of the Paddlewheel. I'm guessingthe announcement will be more information on this attraction. Possibly the boat's return and what sort of story and theming it will have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThrillKingsFitzy Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 There has been landclearing for the past year and a half over near the edge of the peninsula. I’m pretty sure, but I might be wrong. EDIT: There has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which B&M flyer have you ridden? I'm surprised you rank Vekoma's above B&M's too - in my opinion, the B&M ones are far smoother, appear to have a much higher capacity, and just look a lot prettier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I should have clarified. It was Superman at SFGAdv. While I would admit Tatsu, Manta, and their flyers overseas look to be great rides (and probably are superior to three flying dutchmen), I still just don't think I would want a B&M flyer at KI, for the simple reason of the fly-to-lie configuration. One of the most uncormfortable experiences I've ever had on a ride. Once, I got stuck on the brake run for a good 10 minutes at SFGAdv, felt like I was going to pass out Meanwhile, I never had any problem with Vekoma's lie-to-fly. I guess I'm in the minority on that. I'll take the risk of a sunburn over all the blood rushing to my head... Yes, Nighthawk is very rough (I've heard/read), but I always found Firehawk to be smooth. Batwing, I've heard mixed things reagarding its smoothness... All I'm saying is that the one Vekoma Flyer (Firehawk) I found to be much more enjoyable than the one B&M flyer (Superman) I've ridden. B&M flyers are better capacity than Vekoma's, but still not nearly as good as B&M Dives, Wings, Floorless etc They also seem to have a fair amount of downtime as well (although perhaps still not as much as Vekoma flyers) If a custom B&M flyer were to come KI, or another CF park sometime in the future, I suppose it would be a welcome addition, but holistically speaking there are just so much better options to be had IMO.

Maverick44 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I mean they might not need to land clear if they bring back Wildcat........Maybe its been refurbished and they add back back in the lineup as a classic. Idk could see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I could see them doing something like bring back a classic wooden coaster like a gci and naming it mean streak or something similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
