Good memory on the Magnum/Steel Phantom controversy. I rode both back then (I live apx. 10-15 minutes from Kennywood) and thought the Phantom drop was way better since it dropped into a natural ravine, which made it much more thrilling....My favorite part of Magnum was not the drop, but all the bunny hops at the end that gave you great airtime.
Similar, though Adventure Islands is (I think) a medium sized tornado followed by a tornado wave.
I've never been a fan of the look of those bowls. They always stick out as giant eyesores to me.
I'm sure they could nicely hide them with some rockwork, and the inside can be themed as an erupting volcano.
Think we will be seeing something like this? It seems to take up a good amount of space
This is very, well kinda, compact and it is a lot of fun!
But I would kill for something like this!
Not the whole thing, but if you can build a 200ft volcano, surely you can cover up a bowl or funnel element. Personally though, I like seeing the slides etc.Hide this?
What has me confused is the size of the pieces look smaller like a standard hydromagnetic watercoaster...not the hydromagnetic mammoth...Pieces for it are in the storage lot, so it's a fact
Since we're losing two awesome rides in Disco H2O and Brain Wash from Wet N Wild, part of me wishes they'd either relocate these slides or build a combo slide that features those elements.
I once had a dream.of a hydro magnetic mat slide, it was awesome, fully enclosed black tubes with fancy lights, went upside down as well, lol, so probably will never happen.
