RE: Another Major New Ride Confirmed!

Well I know it is not a great pic yet here lies something wrapped up - it is not very big....

Any one got any idea with the distinctive top of this ride ? next to it on the left not so clear on the pic are what I saw a row of three or four chairs back to back like a drop style ride yet in the shape of the frog hopper thing drop thing.

I am sure you will all know what I mean - here is a link to what I think lies here...

Also a larger cherry picker by Rattlesnake was seen yet not in its working position.

Sorry coolskin, but that image is far too small to even slightly see what it is there, looks like Wipeout track to me! Seriously though, there looks to be a lot more than a Frog Hopper.

C'mon Launrence! Give us something! Are one of these 2 new rides the other confirmed major thrill ride?

Please dont get excited at what this weeks two new rides were.....

Yes my proper camera is no longer with me so I had to use my phone, if I had zoomed in it would have been too blurred. There was not much there to see....

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Surely if they weren't anything 'big' as such they wouldn't be mentioning it on Twitter and Facebook... Only time will tell....

All that blue stuff reminds of the supports for this:

coolskin · Passionate about Pleasurewood

it is just blue tarpaulin covering up a small structure that i saw. nothing big at all. kids ride for sure.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

^ But you dont know that for certain though. We'll just have to wait and see... cant see Laurence telling us anything anyway XD

Hey, Pleasurewood..... may i draw your attention to this:

BARGIN?! Wouldn't be a bad 'major' ride....

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

^ Wow, dont be too greedy Andy! We've got enough to look forward to at the minute!

A Top Scan would be good but they are so pricey for what they are, £650,000 is a LOT for a second hand travelling ride.

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

No travelling models please!

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Anyone think this red thing on the back of the lorry here:

Could be anything to do with the very first ride you see in this video:

?

biggrin

Compared to some of the other rides on that site, i think its priced quite fairly, but then i like Top Scans.

It could be Martyn yet what I saw on Friday was the red thing and it had a triangular dome type thing on the top. There is defo some more things as what I saw would barely have needed one lorry let alone two. I have been told the two rides that came are kiddies rides though. Will try and get a pic again late next week.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Well, as you say, there were 2 lorries, and I doubt it takes 2 lorries to deliver 2 small kiddies rides.

andyb · Exceptionally Expressive

It would be a strange decision to bring in that balloon ride, given the smaller one already in the park, although it does look like a similar red structure on board that second truck.

(I'll take that breakdance ride in that vid - haven't ridden one of those for years!)

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Why does it have to be from this park? I know it would make sense but it could be something completely different.

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Ooo, a spanner thrown in the works from Josh there! XD

^^A Breakdance wouldn't be so bad if it were to be a park model, like the new one at LWV (Loudoun).

And I know the Balloon rides would be similar, but I'd take that as a replacement for Sky Hooks anyday... I remember riding one of them at the American Adventure, it was dull to say the least, but at least kids would enjoy it.

Any new ride is better than nothing right now - and the thought of having 4 new rides/attractions next year = :D

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

This picture I'm now about to post wasn't posted on Twitter by the park, but it has been uploaded to that yfrog picture account that the park uses...

Very intesting indeed.... (first person to mention Wooden coaster will be banned!XD)

quin · Enigmatic Expert

ooooh the metal just looks like staging or something though ? cant tell

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

nah i reckon its all going to be theaming for timmber falls

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

Maybe new theming for Enigma?

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

hopefully mrbrightside

Martyn · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Good point actually... but why put it there? THOUGH, I guess that keeps it out of the way of guests when the park reopens?

MattyH · Passionate about Pleasurewood

yes i would suppose so martyn

Josh · Passionate about Pleasurewood

Very interesting indeed guys. I am intrigued by this, these are exciting times!

mrbrightside · Exceptionally Expressive

The area around Enigma is cramped as it is, plus if work is being done on Thunderstruck / preparing the area for the Drop Tower - then it would make sense to store it elsewhere.

Wood would work well for a mine train re-theme?

I hope so anyway.

Possibly yet there is all the grass area opp sealions where things could be stored. There are two log flume boats stored on the old entrance road, that area looks a huge mess.
