Can someone explain to me how a wing coaster can successfully do a splashdown without crushing folks feet in the process?

Add and floor to it?

The water scoops could be very low off the train or the park can pull a manta or shambala splashdown

An inverted splashdown!

^ How would that even work?

Everyone's heads would go underwater?

Yea that wouldn't work. Nevermind. But what about a dive coaster? Seems like I remember that Sheikera (or whatever it is called) at Busch Gardens in Tampa splashes down over water. Maybe that could be a possibility. Although still unlikely to build a new coaster 2 years in a row. So obviously I don't really know what they are doing.

I notice only one B&M coaster opens at a Cedar Fair park every year, so I strongly doubt it will be a B&M coaster, considering Cedar Point is getting Valravn.

I think that they could just have a wing coaster glide over the water for a brake run and fountains could spray up on either side. Kind of like Shambhala but without the track actually going into a trench. So technically it wouldn't be a splashdown, but it would be close enough.

But it is VERY unlikely that we get another big coaster a year after Fury. Kings Dominion still hasn't gotten another coaster since their giga in 2010. I'm gonna keep my hopes low for now...

Who says it couldn't be a Manta type splash during a jo-jo roll? That seems really plausible, or am I wrong? The back side(s) of the trains could hit the water as the coaster slowly rolls over a lake/other body of water. If they can thread a wind coaster through a barn, surley they can smack some water at some point right?

I was at the water park a few weeks ago and noticed that Down Under Thunder seemed brighter than I remember it being from previous visits. Has it been repainted (on the inside only, the outside was rather dull and faded)?

Hi. New here but want to add my 2 cents. I think we need to look back at the clues given previous to Fury. Such as the "8th wonder of the world." What does this have to do with Fury? Maybe?? I think Kings Doninion is due for a new B&M because of an agreement B&M had with Busch Gardens. I remember reading about this somewhere.. The teaser of a wing coaster to Carowinds would be sweet, but I don't think we will get it in 2016. The obvious water park expansion with new slides like KD, a water park revamp (much like KD) and I bet the water park will get its own entrance.

I believe so. I haven't been to the water park this year but on Carowinds' Instagram photos it did look like fresh paint.

A few sections under the slide look brighter too. Tidal Wave is my favorite slide!
