Good riddance, that thing was terrible from an ecological view.

It wasn't very sightly, but I don't think this ride is going to be either.

What I always thought was 'interesting' about Splashus Maximus was that at closing they would clean it up with brooms. The brooms would sweep repeatedly across the textured flooring (which was a major deterrent to efficient sweeping.) I was never sure whether to be happy they didn't interrupt the relative calm of that area of Festa with a five minute shop-vac run, or to deplore the salary-per-hour effort the employees made to rid the area of every last balloon shred manually.

The park is being a genius, actually.
By not announcing the coaster during their exciting five minutes of announcements, they're keeping the public on the edge of their seats wondering what is happening in Festa the whole time without spending a dime on marketing. Then when the coaster opens next spring, with the public knowing nothing about it, everyone will be so surprised to find out, oh! They built a coaster! This way people will see just how fun and spontaneous the park is, and they will be too surprised to realize just what a big pile of crap the coaster really is.
Or corporate is full of even bigger fools than we thought. They literally threw away their best shot at scoring any points for this horrid ride. And really, between the obvious and hideous destruction of woods in Vesta (construction fences all along the area, by the way) and the level of knowledge already speculated on fan sites like this, everyone ALREADY KNOWS something is happening. I swear, when Carl finished and walked off I was having a greater "THAT was IT?!" moment than when I rode Volcano for the first time. Obviously the coaster was the only reason anybody really even came in the first place.
So. Seriously. Why in the bloody hell didn't they announce the coaster today? Are they just going to announce it on Facebook, because that is /such/ a grand way of announcing a roller coaster. Clearly the ride is a desperate move to scrape up a few more pennies, it certainly won't bring many people in long term... so why aren't they doing literally EVERYTHING they can do to make the public as excited about this as they can? I still don't understand. What the hell?!
Maybe Carl was just afraid of having tomatoes thrown at him.

Good. I'm glad all of you think it will be a crappy ride. So when I get in line, I won't have to wait long

It shouldn't be a long line. Busch gardens doesn't attract guests

I spoke with Carl about them not announcing it; he had a grin on his face and he played dumb. "What announcement? There's clearing?! Well I need to go and check this out!" I'm not at all disappointed that they didn't announce it today - it's really not that big of a deal.
Everyone just needs to chill about this new coaster. Even though it's not the best, it's the coaster nonetheless. Just don't ride it if you don't like it - I doubt that the park will be adding more rides like this in the future.

Here's a pic of me talking to him:
He's definitely a really nice guy, it was cool to meet him. Not sure how I feel about the coaster, but we'll see how that turns out.

He just played dumb about it and acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. He was obviously kidding around but I wasn't expecting him to say anything about it to me anyways.
