What if the new coaster was similar to iSpeed at Mirabilandia? It’s an Intamin Blitz that has one high point, then close to the ground for the most part. It’s different than the HP coaster, so I could see something like this being built here.

I don’t think it’d be as compact as iSpeed, but it’s the same general idea. Mostly fast turns, some airtime, a couple inversions. One tall section (hopefully it’s a top-hat as well).

Will this ruin the view of JP when entering?

I’m not an insider, but I’d say no. The track will go near the DC, but it shouldn’t ruin the view too much. Most of coaster would be located off to the side of the DC, including any tall sections, so it won’t be too bad.

Ah, so the Flying Dinosaur pedigree returns,



In all seriousness..it's a double edged sword. I hate it, but at the same time it makes sense and would allow you to use more space. Especially if it's more on the lake and not over-top any pedestrian pathway's.

That said, I still hate it equally.

I wish it could go over pathways instead. I love me a great thrill coaster, but it just seems wrong to have it go in front of one of the parks’ major icons.

To be honest, the icons of the park are either the Lighthouse...or Hulk IMO.

Why wouldn’t they just demolish the DC? It’d be better that way.

If they were going to make massive changes to the DC, wouldn't one assume that it would've been if they were bringing JW for IOA?

Honestly, I get the feeling that if the DC gets a shake-up, it'll be to match more of the color's of Singapore/Osaka (along with updating the interior to make it more modern of what's offered).

Nothing confirmed yet, but we may want to keep an eye on some of the exhibits inside the Discovery Center.

Why wouldn’t they just get rid of it all together? It serves no real purpose.
