the windseeker model cant be that bad


It's not that they're bad, they just half-assed trying to be several rides in one and fell flat on all of them.

1. Spins too fast to sightsee
2. Spins too slow to be scary/forceful/do anything
3. The ride somehow manages to not feel tall despite being 300ft up with no floor. It's bizarre. I am often less than thrilled with heights.

The "observation towers" as RCT call them would be a better choice, or an elevator platform thing. They do leave a great visual impression though watching them run at night.

To be perfectly honest I'm not getting my hopes up too high either.

I couldn't see it being a superloop, way too generic. Even if it was indoors xD

They have so much money tied up in the road move/waterpark expansion that I can't see this being anything major on the dry side.

Are they playing the infrastructure growing pains game?

At this point I'm really not sure at all. I'm just gonna wait until tomorrow. Is there a specific time for this announcement?

I said I had a "guessing" phobia, but let me take it back because I'm coming out with a few rides. Indoor Enterprise or Giant Top Spin - "The Crypt" for example! :)

Imagine something like Junker going over the lake. That'd be awesome.

Define big though - restrictions breed innovation and invention. Nemesis would never have be born without the height restrictions - and I don't think I'm wrong that it was a good platform for Phantasialand to build Black Mamba and further the potential of the inverted coaster.

Coaster confirmed. Now all we need to do is find out what it is. I don't think I'm physically capable of waking up that early, so I guess I'll miss the party :(

I can see an impulse coaster coming to that area, it can include the aspects of a dark ride and the thrills of a coaster. Plus I believe they are pretty cost effective considering they have gone to many low budget parks.

I'm betting premier Sky Rocket 2 clone. Give something the park needs and relatively cheap and compact.

how about a hyper gtx

I could see that happening too, basically any compact and cheap ride would be suitable and probable for the park.

This article from the Bristol Press states that tomorrow's announcement will be the single largest investment in the park's history, so that basically confirms that it will be a roller coaster. Can't wait to see what it is!
