New Coaster for Universal Studios coming!

[ky07]

No, I'm going to ride it over and over again just because I don't want too.

Besides, I never said I DIDN'T want to ride the thing. I just think it will take away from the movie studio feel of the park. I've been going to the Studios since it first opened. back then you felt like you were in an actual working movie studio. when they start adding BIG METAL OUTDOOR coasters, it starts feeling like a 6-flags. I can get that in Atlanta.

I say keep the coaster. but put it in a more suitable place like Islands.

Must say I would rather it be a metal coaster than a wooden one and then you could say it would be six flags like and I live close to a six flags and even if Universal adds the coaster which looks like they are you can't compare them to six flags.
Universal is an awsome Park something a six flags could never be.

And the manufacturer's designs look really different and innovative. This is the same company who just made Crush's Coaster for the Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris.

No word on what the coaster will actually be themed after until a formal announcement but it's expected to open in 2009.

If that's the case - should be good - Crush's Coaster is fantastic - rode it twice in October

YAY



Also, the movie coaster thing in tokyo, my friend saw and it was awesome.

Yeah we need to know more as you never know what the coaster will be themed to and who knows is if it will even be totally outdoors?

Agreed, Universal hasn't even announced anything yet, right now it's just putting the paperwork together.

I like the ideal of a big coaster at universal , although the theming or fitting in part will be interesting to see, maybe the theming could be of a sound/music type of thing , like the led zepplin the ride, it has a onboard
music system timed to the ride. I just hope it don't look like somebody
drop a roller coaster on top of a bunch of buildings.(japan)

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a lot of themeing. It might be in the vein of Hulk, Hollywood Dream and King Kong coaster being built in Dubai or Singapore.

EDIT: The picture's ginormous. You can click to see the model for King Kong on the left.
