great pic, should paint it to look like a good year tire. wont happen though. If anything, a ride like that or any other kind of flat ride, would go over in waynes world since that area is basically dead.

I was at Luna Park earlier this month and got to SEE this ride in action. I say see and not ride, because I didn't ride. I don't know if the park was so insanely crowded, or, since it is a prototype model it was very low capacity, the line had to be at least 1-2 hours.

In person it looked a bit slower than the video. I know this is bad to judge it without riding but this reminded me of Sledgehammer at Canada's Wonderland. Very impressive to look at from the outside, but the ride experience was lacking. I kind of have a feeling this is how the Air Race would be.

*DAPS* for finding a "new" ride though and not just the same old Giant Frisbee/Screamin Swing ideas. :mrgreen:

Yea I would love to see them rip out some of those games in front of scream weaver and put something like a top spin, although a top spin would fit a "county fair" theme as well. I like the field in front of intimidator just the way it is... I think they should move gr8 sk8 towards the kiddie land more and put something there and over toward the field...

^ To some extent, I made that face when I read that post.

Anyway, I actually want some kind of garden or something there. That'd be something really different and it'd be nice too. I know the park needs some good flat rides and all, but I'm not really into flats. When I went to Cedar Point, I didn't go on any of their flats, even though they have MaXair (is that a screaming swing?) and those 4 giant drop towers (if those are even flats).

EDIT: And another thing: Do you think that the park would put something there that is big enough to obscure the view of the Intimidator? I mean, the park took down a bunch of trees over the offseason so you could see the coaster from ANYWHERE. This has made me think that if they are putting something there, there's a good chance that it won't be very tall.

^Skyhawk is the Screamin Swing at Cedar Point. And if you don't like them why take away from other peoples enjoyment saying "NO I DON'T WANT THIS."

intimidator rider is HILARIOUS. I don't know if he is a troll or not, but his spelling and grammar have gotten better. Best laugh I've had all day. You rule man.
