Isn't that the kind of ride with jeeps, like Dinosaur at Disney World Animal Kingdom? I really loved that ride, it was very exciting. Tomb Raider would be a very cool theme for that type of ride!!

If you look at the drawing of the cars in the attic that is going to be a pretty cool ride if we can get it.
Does anyone know about the height? The one in the link is only 72 feet and goes 45 mph. Think Paramount would build a bigger version?

I don't think carowinds will get this coaster. all though there is a slight chance they will but it has to be within the next 3 seasons before this coaster goes out dated. Which these are different types of coasters that may have a chance to be introduced to this park.

What constitutes the shelf life of a rollercoaster?

Would you make up your mind. Just Kidding. :P

As far as it just being a coaster I would agree it might get "old", but being a themed ride such as the Adams Family will make it last plus be alot more enjoyable.

i was trying to say that if we do get these kind of coasters they would be a bit old if we don't get them soon!!!

Personally i could see another park, other than carowinds, getting this coaster. I could see PKI getting an attraction of this magnitude being that its the flagship park and it just seems like it would open there first. I could also see this at PGA being that they are in dire need of 1)a coaster and 2) a darkride. That would kill 2 birds would one stone. What i would like to know is the spacing of this attraction. From what i understand its probably a Gerstlauer however it would be custom because i see no lift hill and it wasnt any mention of loops.

Dont get me wrong i would LOVE to see this at PC. If anyone knew me they would know that im all about theme!! But my problem is where they would put it, w/o taking out another attraction. ( now i can see taking out Xtreme flyer and that would be a prime location and theme the area to Paramount's action zone!!)

Yeah!! im back! Been just sitting here observing

The Euro-Fighter looks like it has really low ride capacity.

I bet the riders per hour is around 800.

I think if we did get it they would up the riders per hour a bit. Of course to aid in this the ride would have to abe a tad bigger than what we've seen. Me, I'd wait an hour to ride.

Yeah, this was in the survey this year about "potential" rides. But doesnt' say which Paramount park.

I hope we get it, I have no idea. But I think we might have a good shot at it in 2006.

Hypotheticly speaking , if they had t get rid of something to get it,what do you think they would get rid of?(not what you want them to get rid of,just say what be most likeley to go)
