Presumably it's so people don't hold off visiting until the new attraction is added and hit this year's profits.mouse said:

That's true, although most River Island customers don't tend to see the company set aside space in the factory for the new range and start asking questions. When it's all out in public (like this is, or when Alton leave an old ride on their car park) maybe it's best to give out a little bit of info?Lofty said:
Couldn't happen. Major coasters cost upwards of $10 million, even from smaller suppliers. Only 3 projects have made more than that: two smart watches and a "smart cooler" (WTF???). And most parks that don't receive enough revenue to buy a major coaster definitely don't have enough regular visitors who would want to contribute to a fund.roomraider said:Lofty said:

Well, video games can be developed for around half a million these days thanks to inexpensive or free engines like unity and unreal. Generally a *good* coaster starts at $10 million, and parks that want a major coaster but can't afford one the traditional way, don't get enough local visitors to crowdfund one, as opposed to video games which anyone with a console/computer could play at home.nealbie said:

Oh, I guess you're right about that, White Lightning cost $3.5 million. When I said major coasters I meant ones that are relatively large and made by a recognizable, reputable manufacturer.TommyAlex said:
