Future of Dragon Challenge?

[bandit14]

....I am now wondering if they are going with the broomstick's for the ride seating.

I blame you for that.

Kinda like the Tron ride in Shanghai in a way but on brooms?

An Intamin launched bike coaster complete with sidecars? Should we be looking at Taron at Phantasialand for a better clue and the Mack for a different IP? Maybe a HTTYD clone since that IP is now Comcast owned will be built elsewhere (3rd gate?). That would cut costs. If the Screamscape rumor is true, that would make a better "eye for a eye" replacemet for Dragon Challenge while ditching inversions for perceived family friendliness.

Anywho, looks like Mack is making something interesting for Silver Dollar City the may or may not have a dive element,spinning cars, and multiple launches and inversions or all 4.

I'm into that rumor. Don't know if it's legit, but it'd fit in with everything we've heard (coaster, themed, Forbidden Forest).

Off-topic, but we'll find out in a month. Theyve come out publicly and said its the biggest project theyve ever had at SDC with the biggest budget by far. I was there in May and the queue building is HUGE- 5 stories huge.

SDC is basically my home park. It's the closest to NWA and we have had passes for years. Give me a giga or hyper out and back after this and I'm happy but would like another woodie.

So show scenes with AAs?

So show scenes with AAs?

According to Screamscape:

"From the little I know so far about it, it sounds like it will continue to use the Forbidden Forest theme and feature stops for show scenes to play out (much like Gringotts) where you would have encounters with various creatures. I’m also hearing that it will feature forward and backwards track sections as well, which should prove to be a fun new feature."

Hoping the stopping like Gringotts is only
Similar on the stopping part. Putting another screen based ride when taking out the coaster isn't going to go well no matter how good the ride is.

Ooooffffff.

No, that was me saying "I'm not getting into this conversation for the 7 billionth time"

 

[JungleSkip]

I hope the vehicles (or trains or whatever) for this are smaller. I don't think it makes sense to have really long, TRON-like trains for the type of ride

 

[Viator]

So, it'd be a modified Intamin Family Launch Coaster, with the potential ability to have one side accessible for those in wheel chairs? With Forward and Backward capabilities?

That..actually would be a great move!

Sorry. Didn't mean it as I'm against them as I enjoy every screen ride at Universal. Was more so the past rumors saying this is going against that and I interpreted your comments another way.

Sorry about that. Moving on.

All good. I was gonna do the "rolls eyes" emoji, but that'd come off too mean haha

EDIT: Also, I'm hoping this isn't a screen ride, FWIW. But I'll take anything that's an upgrade over Dragons

I'm in he same boatZ

 

[Mad Dog]

Hmmmm?

The key to me has always been the main attraction being a dark ride indoor coaster. I can live with any manufacturer as long as it's good quality. I have faith in Universal putting together an entertaining attraction....
