Postby CoastsToCoasters on June 7th, 2010, 10:10 pm
There are specualtions, rumors, & lies about a lot of s$#$ in the amusement industry...no one but a few people know what the parks are to get, yet rumors do spread over what either someone wants or thinks is good for the park, though some things hold true to an extent. All CP employees talked about was a water coaster goin in since 2008....they were kinda right...

DO NOT TRUST DAMEON!

That is a rule of thumb. I learned this after there was in fact no Hand Break on Dipper. :x

Anywho.

It's how business works...You gotta throw the people off so they don't know what to expect.

I don't see why he has to be so deceitful. What is he going to gain or loose?

If something is a total shock, it gains more press. If Gary Coleman died of a cancer battle that lasted 5 years, he would have never made more then a 10 second mention anywhere.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Chang was converted into some kind of floorless standup super machine, haha. I really don't think there is a way to guess the name because Chang isn't really going to be placed in an area where a theme is already there. Its not in Wild West, so they might make a new theme. Of course you would need to like redo buildings, but I like the Idea of Space themed. If not, I am guessing (really wild guess) some sort of city theme. That really is the only theme that they haven't used in the park, but it probs is unlikely that they will do anything new with the area what with money and time. A guess for the name would be Chang, I like the name, I don't think there is a need to Chang-e it. Haha, I am so funny.
"Park staff later claimed that they were offered a hundred bucks a pop to try to the slide, but refused after seeing that test dummies often emerged on the other end dismembered. The looping slide was actually closed down for most of the park’s life due to these injury concerns."

I want a new name so it goes along with its hopefully new paint and theme. I don't want to be constantly remembered it is from SFKK.

It will not be called Chang. You know its from SFKK so I think you will remember that no matter the color or name. So what if it is from Kentucky Kingdom anyway? The park sure wasn't the best but if they have a good ride come from it who cares? Michigan's Adventure used to be a dump but they had Shivering Timbers, one of the best wood coasters. You wouldn't want that ride despite it being good cause it is from a bad park? I think you get my point.

Also, Iron Wolf will not be going anywhere.

It would be cool to keep the new Rollercoaster stand-up and put floorless trains on Iron Wolf but that would never happen

Oh it won't? The park can only keep a ride with poor load times and zero lines for so long...and it surely does not plan on keeping this terrible stand up forever when it has a far superior (and popular one) coming in.
