SonofBaconator Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Anymore, innovations are mainly with the trains themselves: 4D, spinning, flying, lay down, stand up, swinging, etc. In theory you could clone a layout like Banshee’s and modify it for flyer trains and you’d get a completely different experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I really want to see more 4D coasters overall. The 4D Freespins look interesting, but they feel more like the newest version of a Wild Mouse rather than something that could be special like X2 is. I'd also love to see more innovation in terms of a new suspended coaster (complete with swinging cars). It feels like any issues with the track strain were written off as unsolvable. Manufacturers and parks going with "safe" designs is good for the status quo, but I really want to see some more innovation — even if it's just new takes on old models. As for a Flight of Fear overhaul, I wonder what kind of theming could be added inside of the bowl beyond uplights and maybe a soundtrack. One of the easier options could probably be a light ring "tunnel" on the MCBR and some pinpoint star lights. Something to make it a little more than just a coaster in a relatively dark box. How snappy would the launch out of the station be with a launch conversion? I know it would probably keep the speed and snappiness, but for some reason I have the idea in the back of my mind that it would be weaker. The launch is perhaps the biggest "wow" factor of the ride experience for me and I hope any conversion would be able to maintain that.

New trains would honestly be a help, especially with less confining leg restraints. An indoor lighting package and maybe some music in the spaghetti bowl (not sure how the weight would affect things with on-board audio, so I'll accept speakers in the bowl). Something snazzy to build up the launch would be cool, too. There is a custom soundtrack in the bowl, they just need OBA or way better speakers throughout the entire run to hear it better. Its actually a specific track that starts at launch and runs all the way to the final station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to see how they would complete a refurbishment and if they could fit any size of crane in there. there is a crane-style cable lift built into the ceiling of the building. I dont believe you would be able to get a crane inside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
