HabloRM Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Ok but I'm not trying to sound dumb here, but what is this Soundwave that everyone talks about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 its pretty much FOF rethemed to be a rock-n-rollercoaster rip-off with crappy hip-hop or rock music. originally it was supposed to b with MTV but i guess they dropped the name after a while. yeah, war of the worlds would b a much better theme than shockwave. still would like 2 c an update 2 top gun, though...

Gordon Bombay Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Whoa, ring master, I have to clear up a few descrepincys in your post. Ok, for htose who dont know; this is what "soundwave" is: Soundwave was a rollercoaster proposed to be built that was featured in the survey. What Soundwave is, is a rollercoaster that will launch you off and go through many inversions at high speeds indoors with rock music blaring through your head rest. Much like rocking rollercoaster at Disney's MGM. Originally MTV was planned to sponsor this ride (MTV is owned by Viacom, the same people who own paramount) But now MTV has been dropped from possibly sponsoring this ride because they dont believe MTV will be family oriented. (Which in my opinion is good cause MTV sucks!). A lot of people think FOF could be re-themed to this soundwave coaster because the FOF coasters currently arent themed after anything paramount. Another theory is that parks without an indoor LIM coaster (Carowinds, Wonderland, Great America) might get this coaster built and the FOF's will be re-themed to something with a sci-fi theme. It is not confirmed anywhere that this would be an FOF re-theme. I hope that clears it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 It is not confirmed anywhere that this would be an FOF re-theme. I hope that clears it up. That may be true in one sence, but this time after looking at the concept art of the ride (and this one I am 100% sure about unlike that Supersonic thing we had CombatStupendous89) But you can clearly see it is the fof building exterior modified. The inside waiting line will still have the spaceship but the top will be modified with a giant screen for music videos and other things. Also the picture they had of the inside of the ride showed the turn around right after the 3rd inversion with a newly added tower thing with speakers and lights on it. I still don't want this to happen, but somthing will eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Yeah I noticed that in the concept art too but its still not confirmed that it would be an FOF re-theme they could always go at another angle and build a completely new ride.......yeah the concept art obviously shows its fof.......but i was jsut saying that is not a fact that fof will be re-themed to this yet. No one knows yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 The Adams family coaster was in one of the past surverys and not this current one, I dont know if anyone still has a link to the past survey it was featured in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Could somebody please post a link to some concept designs for the Addams Family Coaster Yeah I have the link but sadly it's dead the concept art was very much detailed it had the Addams House etc. I hope PKI adds this in to there park soon I say 2007 will be the next big year for PKI.

Scooby_Doo Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Nope, I guess because the idea of the attraction is planned or they are re-doing the concept I do know however Paramount snatched the rights to the addams not long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 well for PKI it might just be easier to retheme FOF to shockwave or war of the worlds. i mean, it pretty much does everything it says it can do just like Flight of Fear. im not saying that they they're absolutely going to have to re-theme FOF but it might b easier on their part to save money instead of, say, building another LIM launched coaster.

Scooby_Doo Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hate to brake to you ya but WOTW attraction rights have been given to universal studios theme parks. I think if PKI re-themes FOF it will be to Soundwave why would they build another LIM launch coaster?if your speaking of The Addams Family coaster it wasnt a LIM launch coaster besides I think Paramount has something very cool coming within the next two years.

moore Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I like FoF's current theme. I think it fits the ride like a glove. I think the whole "soundwave" theme is kind of dumb. I really hope they don't re-theme it...I'll prlly cry....lol j/p but seriously they shouldn't re-theme it. It would be a waste of money b/c it already has a great theme and it doesn't sound like the "soundwave" theme is all to popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Christopher Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Nobody snagged the artwork? For Soundwave, I did. I'll dig up Addams Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 ^ Now see that artwork features Avril Livine (sp?) and that is the absolute LAST THING I would EVER want to be listening to while riding such a good coaster like FoF. It would disorient me and then I would puke all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyman Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I like the ride dark the way it is. Why mess with something that is already themed? Use the money on a new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Christopher Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 It doesn't necessarily mean that Avril Lavigne would be the focus of the ride. It could be a variety of artists wrapped into a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 I Avril! So if Avril is anywhere on that re-theme Iam so there! I see the addams family as wild mouse where you tour the addams family mansion and danger and spookyness ensures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yeah Avril is hot but anyway back on topic.. I can see the Addams Family being added to the park I found out saturday that a lot of people love the idea and concept even more so than IJ:ST the reason why they didnt build the addams was because paramount didnt have the rights to build an attraction just the movie(s) rights to make films me and my co-worker where talking about it.

Enchanted Voyager Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 All in all this Adams family thing sounds cool. It should be a 'standing coaster' though to make up for the parks lack of one. It shouldn't take the place of any existing ride though. It should have the original comic versions from the new yorker as mascots, not actors. That would be awesome.

Legend Rider Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 i could see a dive machine, i would love that!! too bad its a beemer and you have no beemers at PKI i love them beemers! a better theme for a diver is definitely Paramount's "The Core" w00000!

elitescr3 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 After riding Kraken at Sea World Orlando, I would love to see floorless put into PKI especially with an Adams Family theme. my favorite ride EVER, totally agree with you about floorless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterXtreme Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Yes, the core was a bad picture! I still think that it would make a great B&M drop coaster and follow the terain nicely in the back of the park. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 If it is an adams family coaster: Pki will install the first ever intamin ag dive machine. a 300' vertical dive into a tunnel filled with adams family shi* and then out into a couple inerversions. That way if paramount is bought out they could take the props out of the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
