 Signature
Coaster: Vekoma Woodie
With some of my all time wooden coasters being wooden roller coasters I
would want at least 2 major wooden coasters. Choosing Intamin to make
one was an easy choice. The second choice was a little harder, but with
Vekoma being the builder of one of my all time favourite wooden rides
Thunder Coaster, and having a good record of making great family wooden
coasters they where my eventual choice.
Major Ride: Maurer
Spinner
You may notice I've assigned 3 major rides to this area, rather than the
usual 2. I decided to do this because the signature coaster may fall a
little in to the shadow of the Intamin woodie also in this park, so
decided to add an extra family coaster to this area to boost it's appeal
when compared to the rest of the park.
Here I would want a Maurer spinning coaster along the lines of Winjas
Force and Fear at Phantasialand. Although there are already a couple of
Maurer spinners in Britain I still think they rank as some of the best
family coasters going, and would be a great major ride to add to the
parks ride line up.
Major Ride:
Vekoma Mine Train
Here I'd have another good family coaster in the form of a
Vekoma Mine Train. Obviously you couldn't use the normal Wild West
theming, but I think it's an idea that can be easily adapted to this
areas theme.
Major Water Ride:
Mack Supersplash
Not only are the Mack Supersplashes some of the best splash boat style
rides I've been on, I also think they do a good job from standing out
from other splash boat style rides in the U.K. such as Thorpe Park's
Tidal Wave. Having the splash boat here will also compliment the water
playground and splash battle in this area.
Major Support Ride:
Dark Ride
One idea I had here is to have some sort of ghost train style
attraction, themed around a mummies tomb. I think one of a good quality
will work well as a support ride for the areas main rides.
Support Rides:
Included here is a Mondial Inferno, a high capacity thrill ride to
support the wooden coaster, and a Wisdom Tornado and a Flic Flac to
support the Mine Train.
To support the spinning coaster I'd have a set of Moser spring towers.
I'd have 4 sets of 10 seats forming a square, around a structure themed
as a giant Egyptian needle. Also in this area I'd have an enclosed sea
storm style ride with lighting effects during the ride.
Kids Attractions:
For the kids rides in this area I've opted for a Splash Battle style
attraction and a themed water playground around it, which should act as
a good family attraction, that will be especially popular with kids. |
