RE: Another Major New Ride Confirmed!


Yeah, to be honest, that would be a strange place to store stuff for Enigma, considering its right at the back of the park, nowhere near any main gates for deliveries to be dropped off etc.

I'd hazzard a guess at it being something to do with a new ride, thats going to replace Sky Hooks.

Yes, I agree Martyn. Is it confirmed that the clown slide has gone? Maybe another ride will be down that neck of the woods?

Just listened to that short clip that coolskin posted a link too. Made me laugh at the Drop tower denial! But Alexis mentioned 5 new rides for next year! Drop tower, plus new show and the 2 rides that arrived last week make 4, so theres one more (maybe they're classing the new look Thunderstruck as a new ride?)!

And he did mention that basically one of them will be for kids.

Well he said 5 new attractions so that will be the 2 new kids rides that came the other week, laser labyrinth, new show, and all being well the drop tower

I dont think this mega/major ride that was confirmed a while back is for the 2012 season. I'm mean, why? One major ride, one new show, two smaller rides and a new kids ride is more than enough for one year! Oh, and the refurb for Thunderstruck!

I'd imagine this other mega ride is for 2013, along with the Engima refurb.

Mauhrne Sohne X-cars (excuse my horrific spelling) can be quite cheap and can provide many unique thrills e.g G-Force at Drayton Manor cost £2.5 million pounds and is a good alternative the average Eurofighter.

^ I'm sorry to say I'd hate to get a woodie at pwh! Don't like them what so ever! Rather get a new steel coaster!

A woodie would be AWESOME but would never get approved cos of noise...

I've heard a LOT of bad things about X-Car's so a Eurofighter would be incredible - the ride has come so far.

I love the X-Car coasters!

But then I also love Gerstlauer's launch coasters!

Anubis clone at Pleasurewood would be a DREAM!

I dunno, I think that looks a bit big to be honest.

There was a really small Woodie built in the US recently, that would be fun for PWH.... cant find it though...

This baby Gravity Group coaster that opened last year looks great for such a small coaster:



Its only 35ft tall!

Something like that would be incredible! Woodies are built to last, and PWH having one would make it bloody unique! I know PBB has the old woodies, and LWV has The Ultimate, but nowhere in the country has a "true" modern wooden coaster - it's definitely something the enthusiasts would flock to. EDIT: forgot Megafobia at Oakwood.

I agree that Woodie would be perfect for PWH. That looks like it has some great airtime and is just a simple little layout. Looks awesome! PWH could just call it "The Woody".

I'm not sure though that a woodie would bring the crowds compared to a Gerstlaur Lanch or X-car. Although they are big in the theme park enthusiast community the general public would car more about inversion and other features which a wooden coaster couldn't offer. I don't hate wooden coasters intact my favourite ride of all time is the one in Yarmouth but I just don't think it would be right for pleasurewood.

 

*edit - didn't see the video posted further up the page. One of those would be great behind wavebreaker.

What do you recon are the chances of the second big thrill ride being a eurofighter? Budget shouldn't be too much of a problem!

There was no mention of it being a thrill ride, just a 'mega' ride.
