New Ride at IOA?

[welovemickey]

DH just read somewhere that there's a new ride to be opening in Feb. 03. It's supposed to be a Jeep Safari ride near Jurrasic Park. Has anyone heard of this?

Sorry, but not true. The Jeep ride rumor is older than IOA itself.

There's a lot of rumors flying around. I've heard of a wooden roller coaster and a flying one (like X-Flight at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure). I haven't heard anything definite yet. If Earl is dropping hints correctly, then there's something coming to USF that will rival the Rock N Roller Coaster at Disney-MGM. It sounds like a launched coaster to me. Hey, put a new coaster in the park and I will ride it!

I wish it'd be a nice CCI woodie, but unfortunately Florida parks aren't big on wood.

Earl said that he will install Rocketman and Robert Walker's favorite ride...

...The Froghopper!

 

[rocketman23]

I can't wait, I hear it will be upwards of 40 feet! Tallest Froghopper on Earth!

Hopefully with larger seats. 40' that would be a great free fall.

Robert Walker, are you robert walker of coasterforums/thrillride fame?

I predict they'll get a B&M, as thats what busch has been getting lately (hulk,dd, kraken, apollo's charriot, alpengeist). Hopefully it'll be a B&M flyer like Air or the new superman one @ 6 flags over georgia.

I can only wish............

EDIT: I got robert walker and robert cocker confused But you are from coasterforum, right?

 

[rangebob]

Yes I am on Coaster Forum also.

If it's going to be a big coaster, I think B&M will make it for Universal. Both coasters at IOA were made by B&M. Now if it's a kiddie coaster, it'll be from someone else. I don't even think B&M makes kiddie coasters.
