New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

[Thatguyoverwhere]

I'm not so sure that they would really think about doing a Margaritaville-themed water park, or even part of a water park, especially if the rest of the park would be more of an actual theme. Also, wouldn't a Florida Keys theme be a bit too much like Adventure Island?

Yeah, Adventure Island is basically exactly that. And tbh, it does nothing to me. I want to be transported or feel like i'm escaping from the real world. The Florida Keys theme is, well, Florida. It's palms trees and laid back life style. Not a good choice.

I personally want a kind of fantasy tropical where nothing really resembles anything (possibly Polynesian or mayan) the last thing we need is a Florida themed land in Florida. It would be California adventure all over again

There is nothing wrong with a Florida theme in Florida. It's really for those people who CANT get palm trees where they live and they come on vacation to Orlando and want to escape to a tropical paradise. At the same time I get how repetitive that is. I still think, if theme really well, people wont care.

I was hoping for Neverland theme. Kinda Peter Pan with coves and caves tropical yet enchanted and unique.

It would be funny if they made a slide themed to the cave in Land of the Lost.

I think that you people should start discussing Linear Induction Motors on this thread.

Hmmmm. A coaster being included in the plans, perhaps?

I was thinking something like Wildebeest water coaster at Holiday World (it uses LIMs):

Right. I forgot the wheel launchers count as ILMs too. I was thinking the magnetic ones.

They make electromagnetic water coasters now as well...

I'd love to see a water coaster mixed with some world class theming. Crush 'n' Gusher at Typhoon Lagoon isn't bad, and Schlitterbahn has the dragon one that has some simple interior scenes, but imagine going through the caverns of a volcano on one! That'd be neat.

Imagine them using the sets similiar to that of the Gringotts coaster for the caves instead of the normal fiberglass pieces....now that plus the LIM would already destroy nearly every theme park around.

I want to launch into the wave pool human cannonball style!

 

[martymcflyy85]

imagine 3-D screens...no wait, nevermind.

Would a Water coaster like Crush n'Gusher need LIM?

Yes it would.

Yes it would.

But I don't believe that it uses LIM at all. All three slides are water propulsion only. Propulsion with LIM will create a more "hand of God" like feeling as there is no apparent cause (water jets) speeding you uphill.
