Just some speculation (WOF)
« on: Apr 26, 2007, 07:23 »
Ok, heres the deal, Valleyfair got a new coaster, Dorney will probably get Steel Venom next year without spending any money on purchasing it!  Kings island got Firehawk.  Cedar point got maverick.  Kings dominion i think got a whole new Water park expansion.  Knotts got Sierra Sidewinder.  Now since Geauga Lake is getting rid of some rides, they must be making room for something big, or "somethings" big.  There are other parks that need some newer rides, but WOF is coming up again.  Were do you think the next "thing" will go. What will it be?  :dunno: :idea1: dancincat

I don't know where or what kind of coaster, but I read on the WoF MySpace page (yeah it has a MySpace) that there is rumored to be a new coaster in 2009.

I'm going to move this to the rumor board but I still want to discuss it.  The next coaster is always one of the more important topics.

What does everyone want it to be?

Here's what I would want to see (some are totally unrealistic).
4 Dimensional
GG Wood Coaster
GCI Wood Coaster
Intamin or S&S Launch (not more than 150' tall)
Intamin Wood Coaster

I wouldn't mind seeing a Intamin Launch like Maverick or Intamin woodie like El Toro would be sweet realistic choices.
Is Renegade GG or GCI I love the way the first drop looks on it and would enjoy a woodie like it and is pretty realistic.
Never been on a 4D coaster but this seems like the least likely choice.
A nice B&M Floorless may be in works?
B&M Dive Machine with the newer floorless trains and some new element never seen on a Dive Machine. (Maybe even something that is  on no other kinda coaster ever)
My guess is WOF's first launch coaster Maverick style possibly or their second woodie.
I have some other ideas but I have to go now I'll post more later.

Personally, I want something from GG. Is the Voyage too much to ask? Only if WOF takes care of it though.

A rocket ala Storm Runner would be A-OK in my book as well.

You don't want a maintenance nightmare like a GG woodie.  HW is already having to retrack after the first season on Voyage.  I don't think WOF would be able to maintain it to the level it would have to be in order for it be enjoyable every season.

GCI woodies on the other hand are pretty much maintenance friendly.  The parks that I have talked to that own them, say that there is very little major maintenance that they have to do on them year-in-year-out.

Personally I think we need to get a launched coaster as we are the only park in Missouri without one and it would be a nice draw.  I think something along the lines of either PowderKeg or Storm Runner would be the best fit for the park (with my vote going towards Storm Runner).

Storm runner is off the hook!  :thumbsup:
Renegade type coaster would work, and a woodie like Thunderhead would work good. 
Were would you put storm runner or any other coaster? :dunno:

I have several places I would put it. 
#1 Back in the African woods, but station near Tivoli behind Fling
#2 In the Orient lot
#3 Where the Forum is
#4 Behind Joe Cool Arcade

Could they put it in the Orient Lot with Interlocking Loops? Do they own the land between Patriot and the road? The whole stretch from the parking lots down to OOF?

I would really adore a GCI woodie in Orient's old lot, but it would get quite crowded back there, what with Spinning Dragons one way, and Patriot the other.
I could definately see Heart of America Theatre either being completely redone and actually used or taken out completely and replaced with something like Maverick.
The "ghost town" section of the train ride is the other problem area. A B&M flyer would be thoroughly wonderful right there.
Last is the huge, expansive area between Patriot and the road. This space is more than big enough for a nice-sized woodie, but that would look a little weird right next to TW's turnaround. Maybe this is where we get a Screamin' Swing or Giant Frisbee.
...and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Well you dont want to have a coaster between patriot and the highway road thingy, because if someone is stupid and has been drinking... what if they hit it. :speechless:

Well, it wouldn't actually be between the road and Patriot. I actually ment that gigantic space between Patriot's lift hill and Timber Wolf's helix.

We need a coaster with a steep drop. Like Millenium force, but WOF wouldnt get a Intamin probably.  We just need a real fast coaster in the 80's - 90's or something and has a steep drop, if you scroll up and go to the WOF myspace page, it has a picture of the mamba, and come to think of it.... its not steep at all! Storm runner works fine!  Unless they get a Wooden coaster, it doesnt have to be steep, but it needs to be like Thunderhead or the Renegade drop were it twists.

^I don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't mind getting El Toro, Jr.

No Jr. but El Toro clone would be fine.
