johnjniehaus Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The rumors thread is now locked so I'm going with this is the thread we're supposed to be using for discussion? If not someone please direct to the proper place. Anyway, I think a Soak City addition isn't surprising considering its been nearly 10 years since tropical plunge. I am not a water park goer so SC additions never do much if anything for me but it's still good to see the park investing in an area they haven't touched for close to a decade. J think this project looks like something water park goers would really enjoy and I hope it brings a lot of people into the park in 2025. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marineman Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I've been on a couple water coasters. They are decent rides, but I'm also not much of a water park guy. Lines there all move too slowly for my liking, and a Master Blaster will be no exception. It'll be something I may ride at most once per year on a slow day. I'm sure the masses that like the water park will enjoy, but it's a very "meh" addition to me personally. Still, I agree that the water park has been neglected for quite some time, so I'm not upset to see something added. In the meantime, I'll just keep hoping that a big coaster announcement is coming for the following year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I saw that Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland are announcing things on the 7th and 8th respectively, so maybe sometime around then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Well with the posts today by the park, hoping for a Cheetah Chase type of racing water coaster! Just went to Holiday a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed the water coasters. And the tons of Voyage rides! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJSkyFoxx Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Wonder if it will be a dueling type water coaster or it will just be like a figure-8 style layout? Mmm. I guess we will find out in a week. Exciting either way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This is a very creative teaser by the park. Well done KI! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 A quick glance at their website shows they're behind the slides at CoCoCay (Royal Caribbean's private island), so that's a good sign.. HW used ProSlide for Mammoth and CC, so I'll be curious to see what these guys have in mind for KI. May finally be a reason to start visiting SC again next year.

BB1 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I'd also venture to mention that additions like this come in groups. I would not be surprised if parks like Carowinds and Cedar Point got some form of water coaster over the next few years. To say I'm excited is an understatement. I've been begging for a water coaster since I was a lifeguard at SC, I'll definitely be at the preview day (if they have one, come on I'm the one guy on here who probably goes more than 95% of the KIC population please give us a GP preview day!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Current marketing in Soak City for the 2025 addition. I wish we got a fleshed out media campaign like we did for mystic.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Very happy to see the park teasing like this again instead of just a random picture with a date on it the day before the announced like the last 2 years. Hoping this is a sign for the future and when Vortex's replacement comes around hopefully in a couple years that we see a well thought out pretty much all summer teasing campaign like with Banshee and Mystic Timbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomPlague Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think we need a new term for these. Or for the rollercoaster water coasters. Which was first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fence has seen better days for sure, but I expect they'll have to install a new one further back towards the road anyway. 1 hour ago, DoomPlague said: I think we need a new term for these.

Schlitterbahn created it, the original was in 1996. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Blaster_(Schlitterbahn) WhiteWater West builds them now. Master Blaster is a fairly recognizable term for the overall type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua Trax = Coaster that can float or goes into the water at some point Water Coaster = tube slide that has some form of propulsion that guides a tube up hills on the circuit.
