RE: Project 2015: 156ft Tall Festa Italia Attraction
Even beyond that, why add another flat to another of the most flat-heavy areas of the park? Think about it for a moment- basically every single flat ride the park has is in Festa, San Marco, or Oktoberfest. What about the other half of the park?

Because the park wants to have Festa Italia full of GP ready to waste money on games and food. Think about how Scotland doesn't have flats,France doesn't have flats, and many other areas. All of the areas with flat have food and sometimes games.

Poor Ireland/England/France. 2 rides combined (Griffon & EitA).

Starflyers are still somewhat unique since most parks don't have them yet. Outside of Windseeker, the closest startflyer towers are hours away. A 150 foot swing ride is still gonna be a draw regardless. Would I like to see the park get a frisbee or a top spin or maybe something unique? Yeah, but a starflyer is just as good. Even if it is smaller than KD's.
On top of that, the park still built Mach Tower despite Drop Zone being an hour north. Mach Tower may have a few gimmicks here and there, but they're hardly "one of a kind" anyway. The one unique gimmick the ride has doesn't even work anymore.
As for why Festa is getting this over other areas... Like I've said before a few times in the forums, Festa is a dead-end area with only two rides worth riding (three counting the train) and both of those rides were built over a decade ago. It's about time the park swap the ugly faded tents for something new to revitalize the area and a new ride should help balance the crowds between Oktoberfest and San Marco/Festa.
The other areas seem strapped for space so sticking it elsewhere would mean the park would have to move/remove something in order to stick it there. In this case, they'd probably just have to remove a few games booths and the ice cream shop. Not a huge loss.

While I agree that Festa is flat heavy along with Italy and Oktoberfest. I'd really hate to see Ireland, England, or France have something beautiful knocked down in favor of a flat. If they must build one go ahead and do it in an area that is already crap vs ruining something nice.

I think the park has focused the rides in Italy and Germany to emphasize each area of the park as either exciting and carnival-esque, or serene and less intense. If the park started putting flats in Ireland and Aquitaine, it would begin to detract from their overall image, whereas Festa's and Oktoberfest's image was predetermined as "Rides! Games! Noise! Lights!"

If something is too ugly and generic to be installed in one of the park's "nicer" areas, it probably shouldn't be installed at all. I guess the days of the park being concerned with atmosphere and the like are over though. :-/

I know somebody else mentioned it in the thread, if it really is one of those tower swing things, What would the view even be of? Half the time you'll be look at Apollo's footers, and the rest? The tops of faded tents? The train? the top/back end of the outside pasture area?
There really isn't much to look at, in that area. Mach Tower at least has a nice view of the park.

As Applesauce said, if it's a Starflyer the ride isn't going to give you much of a nice view. Hey Apollo's footers, hey parking lot, hi Festa Italia, that's it. At 150 feet you get a better view from Windseeker than you will from this ride. As much as I'd hate to say it this ride would be better off in an area like England or Scotland, they really are better off closer to the center of any park than the farthest corner.
Or it'll be something like this:

Wait, EitA is opening this year?
Or, is it just still 1 ride in Ireland/England/France?

RE: Project 2015: 156ft Tall Festa Italia Attraction
It's already opened.
We leaked it a little while ago, here.

Good to know! My 5 yr old LOVES this ride (he's probably one of the only ones).
I had thought it was still closed, as it's not on the park map (the one posted on the website).

When I was at the park today, in line for apollos chariot, I happened to notice three orange markers in the project 2015 spot. Upon looking a little more I noticed another one on the hill by the main entrance to Apollo's. Would these have anything to do with the future ride?

I'm just throwing this out there...
When my wife was in line for a ride today she overheard an employee telling a guest that the new ride would be a wooden coaster.
Ok. Have at it. Lol.

Take everything an employee says with a truckload of salt. More times than others, they're going to be wrong.
