familyman Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/va/ar_rides.aspx I have been waiting for this release since I visited the park in August. Now I don’t have to drive to Florida for a ride of this type. Funny thing is it’s not a coaster and it’s a well themed ride. Just goes to show you what brings people in. I know I will be taking the family back in 05 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Picard Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I thought everyone said a seasonal park wouldn't have the money for a ride like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This sounds like their answer to the Spider-Man ride at USFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Anyone have any idea how much a ride like this costs? Do you think that Paramount would ever add some of these rides to any of the parks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 PKI has to get one of these!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 They said in the video that construction started in February. Any ride that takes that long should be something to see for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 The rumor was 100 million for Spider man. I think it would be less today because they didn't have the technology that we have now. The first one will always cost more, thats is why you see park chains install more than one of the same.

thejoker8388 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I agree with everyone this thing looks amazing. Yeah, if Paramount wants to go with a themed ride something like this at least seems like it would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Snapper Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Looks fun but id rather them get a nice GCI woodie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 A ride like this defines a park. It sets a park on a pedestal much higher than your average coaster park. In my opinion the technology and the ride experience is the future. I love coasters but I also love advancements in amusement rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Looks fun but id rather them get a nice GCI woodie!!!
