Intamin Pre-Fab at a Universal theme park? In Florida? Must be dreaming.. but I could see why.

 

[JungleSkip]

I don't think I have. I still think it's a woody. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was Intamin, given their history with Universal for the last few coaster projects.

My mistake, I thought you had been one of the people said that.

Intamin built El Toro...so I'd be cool with that. I just don't see it being anything but steel going over the water.

I just don't understand the decision (if true) of building a wooden coaster. Besides weather being a factor, Universal operates their rides frequently and I don't know how a wooden coaster can handle it without lots of maintenance.

Universal makes a lot of confusing decisions

It made more sense when the rumor was a smaller, themed, family coaster. But yea, I agree. A big scream machine woody doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Makes more sense than another Intamin Blitz, tbh.

Okay, let me try and explain my POV a bit more. Why would they get another coaster that’s extremely similar to two coasters they already have (they already have an Intamin Blitz and a launched looping coaster), and not go with a formula that worked well at a similar park? Not to mention you won’t have to file any trademarks, the coaster would look great on the ground, and works great from a PR standpoint.

I’m not saying that an Intamin Blitz wouldn’t be a great coaster, because it would probably be awesome. But it’d work better at FW or USF, as opposed to here.

I don't care if it's the same type of coaster, if it offers different thrills I'm all for it.
Mummy and Gringotts are similar, but they both offer different thrills and stories.

Gringotts is more dark ride than coaster, and has a ton of differences. This would (most likely) be extremely similar to two coasters already in the park.

Yes, all my sources are saying "Intamin is involved". That doesn't necessarily mean it's an intamin coaster though.

I was hoping for an RMC with Intamin launches. But I don't think that is happening.

Hmm. RMC is possible, and Intamin's reliable (not joking) launches, I could see it happen.

I see no way RMC happens. They've been having some pretty bad reliability issues. There's a reason they don't have any coasters coming in 2019

B&M Flying-Coaster with Intamin launches?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

B&M Flying-Coaster with Intamin launches?

It’s a Giga flying coaster from B&M with launches. And it’s wooden.

With lap-bars

I don't think anyone should have been suspecting the River AAs to be significantly updated. They're entirely outdoors/in water. Expecting a huge upgrade just isn't all that possible. I think the only one that would be a significantly updated-type AA would be the Indominus.

What about all the AAs that are inside the building?

I could maybe see them upgrading the raptors. Otherwise? I doubt it.

Lets say that JW trademark they filed is for Islands and not for Hollywood and they theme the coaster to JW in some capacity. Why wouldnt they just do what they are doing on the west coast to our River Adventure

I would imagine they would. I just don't think a lot of the existing AAs in USH will change significantly either

Understandable. So outside of the Indominus you dont think much will be changed besides that as far as AAs go?

Doubt it. A 200 ft. coaster section will be seen from Hogsmeade and that's the last thing Uni wants. It also is ruining the division between Kong and JP. From a creative standpoint, I don't like this at all. From a thrill seekers standpoint, I am interested.

I think PFlyers and Thunder Falls already ruins the division between Kong and JP
