Re: Mammoth, water coaster for Holiday World
Hm will this ride looks totally awesome and a whole lot of fun. The elements of being in the dark, being forward, backward, sideward, the fact that it goes for so long and so many people can go at one time I think make this ride really amazing and I wont be surprised at all if mammoth doesnt get 'best new water ride' and 'best water ride' golden tickets.
However, it just seems kind of unneccesary. What it really is, is a larger and better scale of wildebeest. I dont understand why they are doing this now as they already have the record for longest water ride. (beating their own record kinda make me laugh really).
its just that its kinda similar to wildebeest, just an upgrade (dont get me wrong I still think the ride would be fabulous), but they just added wildebeest and I was really thinking it was time that they were going to get a new coaster. They even had those surveys sent out concerning what type of roller coaster people would want at holiday world. Maybe they didnt get a good response and lots of the GP responded in a way that prompted Holiday World to delay the addition of another (perhaps steel) roller coaster.
The addition of this particular ride kinda confuses me though. To me its like adding xcelerator to a park and then two years later adding top thrill dragster. Both rides are freaking amazing, yet wouldnt it be better to add something completely different? Well maybe Im wrong as Holiday World and Splashin Safari is really family focused and they do listen to what the majority of people want, I personally think.
Either way, Splashin Safari is looking to be a really good freaking water park. Theyve got so many good rides now (Mammoth, Wildebeest, Zinga, Bakuli, Zoombabwe).
by the way is this the whole 9 million spent. maybe we can expect something else small?
