Project 2025: Jungle X-Pedition Retheme Phase II

[Crunchewy]

i305... what's the fastest animal in the jungle? I don't know. But it would have to be something fast.

I guess it's the Tiger, but they only manage 30 to 40 mph. Confirmed: i305 to be slowed down to fit the theme.

Are there cheetahs in the jungle?

Don't ask BGW. They'll answer Blue Whale.

i305 is the hardest one to figure out a theme that fits. Might have to go with suspended disbelief.

 

[Coasternerd]

I actually am looking for like fastest birds, since that’s one they haven’t used yet. Could see them doing a falcon or eagle theme for it (i305)?

Whatever new name KD picks for I305 I'd prefer if it could keep its abbreviation.

I wonder if they would or could install a Bayern Kurve in the old Mt. Kilimanjaro site? Was my favorite ride so many years ago.

As much as I’d like that- I don’t think those are in production anymore.

But...

Habitat: Open country, cliffs (mountains to coast); sometimes cities. Over its wide range, found in wide variety of open habitats, from tundra to desert mountains. Often near water, especially along coast, and migrants may fly far out to sea. Limited by availability of nest sites and prey; thus, it often moves into cities, nesting on building ledges and feeding on pigeons.

This is kinda why I’d prefer them leave it as it’s own thing. If the Intimidator name can’t be kept for one reason or another, removing the IP and turning it into a generic “I305” would be far better in my eyes than trying to roll out an animal name & new colors. That works fine for smaller/less significant rides, I don’t want to see how that goes with the MAIN ride at your park.

I'd much rather see KD attempt the big swing of rebranding I305 than to leave a random car themed coaster in the back of Jungle X-Pedition honestly.

It is interesting that the pinned map of the area includes everything; including FOF and I305.

As far as the coasters go, Anaconda and I305 could certainly undergo a re-theme without major effort/cost. FOF and BLSC, on the other hand, would be a greater expense with the level of theming KD wants to do in that area. Indoor queue and station redone for FOF (including outdoor building facade). Maybe some major props in the ride structure building. A complete outdoor retheme for BLSC and maybe the dark section would get a nice theming package. Those would probably not be cheap to do. If done well, those renovations could headline an "off-year" for a major ride of attraction (Phase II - 2023?). I would then assume 2024 would be the headliner for whatever is going in Volcano's spot (Phase III).

 

[Intimidator325]

I feel like a bird is not intimidating enough for how intense l305 is. I think 305 should be re-themed to a panther, not only are they fast and intimidating but, they actually live in jungles in trees and so the drop on 305 can be marketed as a panther jumping out of a tree to catch its prey.

 

[Intimidator325]

Name it “Sheba”

 

[warfelg]

I almost think I rather them go with something mythical than real.

Also note that Racer 75 turnaround appears as well, so maybe it’s just including the other rides as background?

Anybody else notice the new apparent lake in the middle of I305? I’d be shocked if they add that but still…..

Technically it's a "lake", but it is well hidden because it is surrounded by trees and uncut grass most of the time. Probably more comparable to a swamp, but Google maps does show it as a body of water.
