RE: Project 2017
In the preview video it says will you attack with the Vikings or defend with the trappers? Does anyone else think we could be seeing a dueling coaster?

RE: Project 2017
According to this article in The Pilot, the ride will be 2,118-feet long and have a 46-inch minimum height requirement.

RE: Project 2017
The Vikings would stand no chance. The trappers of new France would have guns. Also to add about most causal fans not thinking the theme fits, I bet a large percentage of people don't know or even care that the time frames don't line up at all.

RE: Project 2017
Count me in the latter group. I knew the time line doesn't work. But i also saw it as a geographic invasion of the Canadian region not an invasion of the French territory of Canada. I honestly don't think that the general public goes to theme parks for history but for fun. I honestly think some members here would complain if it was a mne ride that it was a above ground and everybody knows mines are subterranean.tursiops said:

Oh my god. The plans are posted clearly showing one track and people STILL think it's a dueling coaster?!?! I give up.

RE: Project 2017
This roller coaster is suppose to fill the void of a wooden coaster in the park and to fill the niche that accommodates younger guests. This coaster is not meant to break records or anything like that. Does anybody know, when they said we can vote for certain element of the ride, does that mean coaster elements or thematic elements?

RE: Project 2017
Absolutely zero chance it will be dueling. I pin this on BGW's video though. The thematic tie in with choosing vikings or villagers is very misleading.
As far as the "elements", expect minor things. Things like props in the queue, or on the trains. Perhaps, something such as the colors of certain things. I can guarantee that from a business perspective everything you will be able to vote on will be mostly cosmetic(for lack of a better term).

RE: Project 2017
The way that they advertised it is certainly confusing. I thought for sure we were looking at a dueling coaster until I read through the forum. If it's not going to be a dueling coaster, I wonder why they would advertise it as a war between two sides and not just "attack of the Vikings" or something. Also, just my two cents on the name, I can't stand any of them. I suppose Viking Raider would be the best for me. Sounds like a good classic name. Or maybe "Viking Warrior". Unfortunately, I don't come up with the names for attractions, so I can't really do anything about it. :unsure:

RE: Project 2017
My guess for the"choose a side" would be maybe half the trains are viking longboat themed and half the trains are trapper log themed. Something like that.

RE: Project 2017
Is anyone else still really dissapointed they didnt go with a non-inversted RMC? I just feel like its out of touch to go with GCI. Esp as previous people have stated what happened with gwazi in tampa.

RE: Project 2017
I think there is a possibility (probably remote) that it is because of what happened with Gwazi that we are getting a GCI project. In other words, perhaps GCI is in part repaying the company for everything that went wrong in Tampa.

RE: Project 2017
Gwazi isn't THAT bad. It was much smoother than anything at KD. Esp when they got the new trains in 2010.
