brenthodge Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLDZn22BC5r/?igsh=emM1aWloYnJ6bHpk people keep saying “flight simulator” but the park keeps saying “not been done before” so it will be interesting to see what actually gets announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timchat2 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 An indoor coaster has been mentioned but you'd think some evidence of footers would have been apparent when the building's foundation went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I'd guess it will be a new take on an existing concept instead of something entirely new. A flight simulator (like Soarin') could be cool, but I saw how SeaWorld's version turned out — no thank you to that. What kinds of rides could go in that wouldn't require too much of the foundation to be redone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 An indoor coaster would be fun, but I don't see that happening. They've already added 2 family coasters in the past 6 years (Dragonflier in 2019 and Big Bear Mountain in 2023) and I think we'd already see evidence at this point. At KI footers have shown up for coasters a year before opening. Of course that's for larger coasters, but even so, you'd think we would see something this time.

The cages that hold the footer bolts are on site and from Mack Rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timchat2 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 The "plunge" mention is causing some to wonder if there will be a water element in the attraction. One corner of the building did have a deeper trench dug out, so perhaps that will have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenthodge Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 Another tease. We’ve had 8, now 10. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL5keiRixM0/?igsh=cjE0NDI4cmVyN202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
