Duelling might be a possibility given the size of the site, though what looks like the return run to the station is fairly narrow. I wonder if it might challenge for longest coaster? -

@Santa07 Definitely no sarcasm, I honestly wouldn't know if someone on here was one of the hosts. My friends pointed out the aforementioned parkz member, I would have had no idea. After seeing that site, the coaster could be anything. -

They were very good, were you one of them? ^^Lol dude, I would have taken a swag of pics if they allowed photography up there. ^Theme Park Ninja, we saw you having a crack with the hammer in Villians, my friends know who you are. -

I saw the site today in real life for the first time (from the top of Arkham), f*** it's huge. -

^Oops missed that. I presume Friday the 13th 4D is that really lame one from last year? -
Poll: What do you think Movie World's coaster will be

I don't know, I woke up at the end. Anyone remember when Mr Bean went on a coaster and he fell asleep lol? -

Just make sure that chicken soup is churro flavoured. I must say the one Mack e-motion coaster I've been on was not an emotional experience. Hopefully Mack are doing this bespoke and it will be an original. -

^My bad, I've ridden both many times lol, I shouldn't post early morning. Probably what I meant to say is full circuit, non-one trick pony (and I'm not counting the hump on Kingda Ka as a second trick), full circuit coaster. I'll be interested to see if the polar coaster happens, I haven't checked on that project for a while. -
^It looks like the roller coaster equivalent of a centrifuge. I wouldn't have a problem riding it, front row or otherwise.

I also note the Silverwood thing on the 29th is back. -

^Half true, I'll interpret that as the coaster will be double the stats, the world's first 400 foot plus full circuit coaster lol. I have zero idea on this personally, only what I'd like to see, I was surprised they went with Mack, but they've dealt with them before. There was a theory the Doomsday Destroyer might have been a sweetener on a coaster deal with Intamin - myth: busted. -

Dammit, can't you see the Mack boxes are just a smokescreen for the fact this coaster will be Inatmin's masterpiece: New Millennium GeForce will be so tall it will have planes swerving and the neighbors screaming blue murder to the council. In other news, Kim Kardashian went 24 hours without taking a selfie. -

You're inspiring me - I've got already got a 2017 Six Flags Season Pass and Cedar Fair Platinum Pass (they both already paid for themselves on my recent 2016 trip) begging to be used.- 38 replies

If I had to bet, I'd have my money on something like Flash at Iewa World, happy to be proven wrong with something even better. Any riveting footer updates? Maybe someone should follow the site workers to the pub after work and get some intel lol. A Tooheys or 22 might loosen lips. -

Lol, and while we're at it the new area of Movieworld vilifies villains, close it immediately. -

^It's excellent too, and I still had trouble fitting it in my under 200 foot top ten. And the thing is, they're crowd pleasers, not just enthusiast pleasers. -

Lol I was lucky I got to Fear VR (and Insnitarium maze) at California's Great America before the shut them, such a ridiculous situation, there were no grounds for complaint - just standard horror presentations. What if factory workers get offended and complain. Maybe they'll re-theme Arkham Asylum as a Vegan Restaurant. -

^I hear you, most of my top ten coasters are under 200 feet. And a lot polls/awards indicate the same, but a 300+ footer can still be a good coaster possibly lol. Coasters in my top ten under 200 feet or thereabouts: Outlaw Run, New Texas Giant, Phoenix, El Toro, Balder, Boulder Dash, Maverick, Expedition GeForce. Wow that's 9/10. -

Great review, and thanks for the tip offs. I'll know what to do when I go this Saturday. -

^I can't say I've been following it too closely. Local mates I was visiting with were saying get a ride now because it will be closed by the time I get back. I guess we'll have to wait and see, I hope it stays as a coaster.- 38 replies

2016 US Theme Park Trip Reports (SF Fiesta TX & ZDTs))
downunder replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Cool report. I went there for the first time in 15 years at the end of last month...during the day that is. Potter seemed to have more in it than the Orlando version. Love a Butterbeer. I thought the small raptor show outside Jurassic Park was simple, but very effective. The Mummy is a decent coaster, I always ride it - I see some good possibilities with a Jurassic World rework (don't know if they'll re-theme or build something from scratch) - imagine a raptor attack from all sides in that stationary bit and then reverse launching out of there.- 38 replies

The stats are slight bigger than the Mack coaster at Iewa World, I'd say that is a possibility, but I'm hoping for something bigger still. ^I think some slack should be given, 99.99% of the content of this thread is speculation lol.
