310-315 foot coaster that only goes 65 mph? there is something wrong there

[coasterfreak]

Very wrong. Like 'the number 6 is directly under the number 9 on a number pad' wrong.

you are reading this forum, right? This has already been discussed multiple times.

I could see it too, but do you have any idea how mad that would make Busch Gardens? I think it would be safe to assume that it won't be a dive coaster, because that would no doubt tick them off.

Ummmm.... so.

Cedar Fair already stole the highest, fastest invert from them with Banshee. What difference would this make? It's called coaster wars and the only people who benefit from the carnage are coaster geeks! Bring it on.

Alpengeist lift hill is like 195 ft tall, Banshee is 167.

Alpengeist is taller than Banshee by 28 feet...

Banshee has Alpengeist on track length and speed by 1mph

Personally I don't really like speculating... But I would like to see the coaster take a immediate right out of the station. Then lift hill go up behind the Paladium then the main drop going under the bridge.

"Since Banshee’s lift hill is on a higher elevation of terrain than the other side of the ride that goes down into a valley, the total elevation change is 208 feet from the highest point at the top of the lift hill to the lowest point, which is the bottom of the batwing between loops four and five." https://www.visitkingsisland.com/banshe ... icle/Title

The "elevation" is higher for banshee I guess and they did say the top speed will not be after the first drop as well... Of course they didnt advertise it as the tallest and fastest, they advertise it as the longest inverted in the world...


Im still trying to guess at what world record our coaster could possibly break, obviously it is height, and likely not speed... so then you have track length... and inversions? What else am I not thinking of...

Record Breaking. First NFL sponsored roller coaster "The Carolina Panther" black supports, blue track, white train.

YESSSSSS

I think a GIGA Florless would be GREAT!!!

Floorless coasters look fun..........Imagine a floorless coaster with that height and track length

It'll be a losing coaster.

[Jay]

It will be great for the first 3 quarters of the ride, but that last quarter will just ruin the entire ride.

And it will be called "The Interception." All jokes aside, I think that would be a great idea. We all know that before Paramount, Carowinds was 90% Carolina themed. Most rides had something to do with Carolina history. Then Cedar Fair started bringing that charm back with the Intimidator; themed to a Carolina legend. I then thought that The Windseeker teasers were going to have something to do with Carolina history because I remember seeing the Wright Brothers teaser for it. That all changed when it was actually revealed to be Windseeker, someone that most if not all of the Cedar Fair parks got as we'll. I do not believe that anything else Cedar Fair has given us is Carolina themed; unless Cobras have something to do with Carolina. If there would be a Panthers Coaster, there should also be a Hornets Ride, and a Tar Heels ride.

As I was writing the first Paragraph and dreaming away, I started thinking logic. Rights to the theme of the ride would have to be purchased. I am unsure of how much of the $30 million would be deducted for that, but perhaps one of you guys would?

[Wormy]

Great. Can't we nice Char-Meck taxpayers enjoy our new stadium escalators and video boards for a season or two (or at least until 2018) before we start holding up blue and black paint chips next to supports? Hold up, let's get those property tax incentives over to CF first. First things first! Anything else you'd like us to buy for the rest of the Carolinas?
