Pipeline - SWO Surf Coaster (Spring 2023)

Dollywood Rip Ride Rockit from Maurer...it's not a huge secret

Don't you dare pass that nightmare scenario onto me

Seriously though, the Dollywood ride is probably from Sally Dark Rides. There was a dark ride survey months ago, and Wildwood Grove is perfect for it.

Have they deleted this?

While on the subject. I did colour in the patent.

So is this for a stand up coaster? Hopefully the redesign restraints are better. Riddlers Revenge at Magic Mountain is a good ride but the restraints suck. Also GP don’t like stand up coasters.

B&M filed a patent for a redesigned stand-up, and some people are assuming that is for the surf coaster design. There's no official correlation though. I've heard plenty of rumors that it'd be B&M's take on a Blitz coaster, and I have a hard time believing that they'd use a stand-up train for that.

Their social team has kicked in to high gear as of late..They're playing to their audience here

I agree. They've redesigned restraints and seats before (Montu vs Banshee) and it doesn't change the shipping ID

This is a new design and all the paths lead to an answer to what Intamin and Mack are doing with launched sit downs

ParkFans got their hands on some plans.

Wow they sure did...I'm interested to see what B&M does in this next decade

I think it will be very interesting to watch them step out of their established formulas a bit

Something tells me a lot of that experimentation will take place in the SeaWorldParks

Something to add on from this, from BGWFans: Project Penguin (As it's being labeled) sees from what they've pieced together one launch. Not far off from Thunderhawk, Hulk, and Decpticoaster; but it's noted. Additionally, they'll be sharing more of the coaster this week, hopefully sooner than later.

LSM launched, two across, newly designed restraint in the style of a Intamin Blitz

Rides like a Hyper GTX and less like a Blitz

Those are my predictions lol

I'm on the side of two-across, new restraint position and compact with a reliance on near misses. Something different, especially as a prototype.

This looks like a phenomenal addition to the park

Can't see why it would be outright "cancelled"

Unless this will be a stand-up coaster, this looks pretty good! I like what I see.

Now if only the park would invest in an indoor ride. Shame they've gone from two to zero in literally a year.

Sesame Street is just begging for one. And if not there, please do a complete renovation (and I mean complete) of Wild Arctic to bring it up to modern simulator standards. New simulator systems, new footage, new storyline. It could be one of the better rides in the park if done correctly.

...or just replace it with a flying theater. The one they put in the Island on Pigeon Forge takes up very little space and it's not a bad ride. But a dark ride is far more preferable.

Wild Arctic ain't coming back. The simulators have been removed in the same way that the simulators were removed for Akbar's Adventure years ago at BGT, but the building remains for HOS. The building is mostly used as break space and for HOS now, along with an animal enclosure for guests, I believe.

I hope there's a bigger long-term plan, but I don't have much hope for that. As mentioned, I would love to see the Dynamic Attractions Flying Theater which I don't think should be overly expensive and it would give them a solid indoor ride. I do agree that Sesame Street is probably where I would start with an indoor ride though because it's such a no brainer and again really shouldn't cost too much. There needs to be something for people to do in this park when it rains.

Ohhh, PETA going to be on them for putting humans in the animal enclosures......
