What would be the ultimate thrill ride? It don't have to be anything that all ready exist. Think about this one.

Well, the "ultimate" thrill ride would be something different for everybody since most people are looking for different elements.

Personally, I think a coaster with a lot of length and several different elements would be the best. Maybe even incorperate themeing that actually adds to the ride experience.

For me, it would have to be a coaster like what I've been hearing about ROTM, though much longer; a coaster with perfect movie-based theming that surrounds the entire ride, and the coaster itself being amazingly thrilling, even without the theming and effects.

I think a Huss Jump 2 is about as close to an ideal flat ride as you can come!

Go here and see an excellent video of Sledgehammer at Paramount's Canada's Wonderland, if you want to see a Jump 2 in action!

For and ideal roller coaster, I think SOB is as close as you can get. I can't imagine a better ride than SOB.

i think an awesome ride would be a dueling b&m flyer..although pki would never get something like that even if monkeys flew out of my a**...but it would be very easy to put theming too and much like dueling dragons at ioa would have several elements that involved the riders looking like they were going to hit each other...i would want this ride to be at least 4 minutes with intertwining corkscrews and zero g rolls, etc. what would make this ride even better if each station had lims in it and they were facing each other..so when you shot off you were headed straight for the other train but right at the last moment you had straight up into a large half loop and after that the possibilities are limitless

my ideal coaster would be raven but longer and faster with even more airtime

My perfect ride would start with cue line entertainment like TRTR. It would be a dark themed coaster like the Adams Family or even something darker. It would travel through tunnels, in and out of structures, and would incorporate great special effects.

That ride is awesome and would ho great with PKIs HUSS collection. You guys have the Giants, we have 1 giant and a bunch of classics.

maybe longer, but not faster, the speed now, creates the awesome airtime, its orgasmic!

I bet Holiday World could pull off a Huss Delirium, and as they are a family park, this would do great, no inversions... however since it is prototype, there is no telling what problems it may have!

My ideal thrill ride involves a bulldozer and Son of Beast.

Your the kind of person who needs to get hired to design these great thrill rides. Such as your bulldozer + sob idea. That'll make most of us really happy!

My ideal thrill ride involves Drop Zone and a big ass winch - attached to the top, and at the end of the cable would be a big Cat truck - to pull it down. No, actually Drop Zone is cool. And SOB is awesome.

I think a coaster like SOB, but bigger (taller and longer) would be great!

I like SOB Klockster, but I have to disagree with some of what you said. I think SOB proved that taller and faster does not always equal better. Besides, from what I have heard, SOB is the tallest that you can go with a wooden structure. Not positive about that one though.

And, The Crew, do you have any idea how expensive a four minute dueling flying coasters would cost? It would be astronomical. I wouldn't mind seeing dueling flyers, but the best you could hope for would be a two minute ride.

I too like Son of Beast, and I'm not much for rougher rides. it's probably because I'm short. Forwards Racer on the other hand is a different story.

As for my ultimate thrill ride, I really love Raging Bull. Add in some more air hills, and lose the third hill trim and I'm happy. Also, any kind of B&M Inverted coaster I just love. From the small BTR, to the giant Montu, i can't get enough of the inverts. I really like intense launched coasters too.

But the one thing I really, really want to try out is the Huss Topple Tower. That ride just looks kick a$$!

Ummm, Ryan do you want to take care of this for me, and tell everyone why we will never see a Topple Tower at PKI?

Sure!

Reason #1 - Huss sucks at experminental things... if we got a topple tower, it would be down as much as Tomb Raider.

Reason #2 - Huss sucks in general at anything that they haven't made a thousand of.

Reason #3 - The ride likely won't be as exciting as it seems to be.

Reason #4 - It looks too much like Drop Zone to be cool.

Reason #5 - We're getting coasters every year until the end of the decade!

For my ideal thrill ride it would be something long with lots of air. And instead of having lap restraints, it would have something that just secured your feet comfortably. Imagine as you go over a bunny hill your ejected from your seat, it feels like your going to fly out of the train but then your feet are caught. It would be the ultimate in extreme. Now I know its not possibly, probably break your legs, but if somehow it was possible it would be sweet. It would feel like you had no restraint and the air time would be unbelievable.

OUCH!

It's about time!

I doubt that will be happening but I wounldn't mind it. I would like to see a elevator ride were you just standing there and it falls 500 feet!

Yeah, I know that won't be happening. I just thought it was funny.

I'm not sure I would ride a 500ft. evevator drop. I hate elevators, much like I hate skyline type rides. It's funny. I don't mind a 300 or 400 foot coaster, but can't stand to ride Drop Zone or Power Tower or sky rides. I like a little air time, but not that much. With the skyline type of rides, I can't stand that hanging feeling. The old Zodiac ride used to scare the crap out ot me.

just standing there? you'd fall out!

That would hurt, Think of the elevator cabels snapping on a large building and you were in it.

1) You woul fly up, hit your head on the celing

2) When you landed you woul break, Leg bones and maybe even your pelvis.

3) Not fun.

PKI needs a giant Chance Skyscraper!

PKI just needs to fix the park up and not build anything for a year or two.

GIANT Skyscraper? That's a waste of money. A Normal Skyscraper is plenty.

I mean, how much taller can it get if it ALREADY scrapes the sky?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm my perfect ride would be taking that antique cars put big ass ford 460 engines in them and use them as drive around the park rides. that would be fun. to add to that have a area where you can drag race other people. wouldn't that be fun?

how about actually spending some money, getting some new rides, and beating the living hell out of Cedar Point. how about that
