News Project 2026: Shoreline Pier (Boardwalk Phase I feat. Barrels O' Fun & More)
- Thread starter RDL
- Start date
Looks absolutely beautiful, hope the do that to the rest of the boardwalk
I am absolutely in love with the boardwalk stamped concrete. If Frontier Adventures eventually gets this level of love, it’ll be glorious.
So bizarre to think that next time I visit the park, there’ll be 3 new credits awaiting me. That hasn’t happened since I was “tall enough” to ride everything (parents bought me Skechers with 1” heels lol). Haven’t been this excited to visit the park in a very long time.

An idea for them to create an artificial lake where Superman is and replace it with a B&M surf coaster going over the water to keep with the boardwalk theme.
I don’t know that a surf coaster would be a great idea for the park. Shockwave was short lived enough that it didn’t leave much of an impact, but Green Lantern wasn’t exactly well liked and another stand up would likely draw the immediate reaction of “no thanks.”
Great concept though, an artificial lake in the area is a pipe dream of mine and I hope it happens regardless of how unlikely it is.
True, but both those rides were relocations and known for being rough. An actual brand new coaster would probably fare better.
If people would go on it at all, and not just think "Green Lantern sucked, why would this be any better?" Putting it in virtually the same location welcomes GP-isms like "they turned Green Lantern into Surf Coaster 1! All they did was change the color and add the lake!"
Of all the things this park needs, another stand-up is well down the list, and I love stand-up coasters.
How cool is this? On the fencing around the construction area, they added a Shoreline Pier teaser, and the viewfinders actually have cutouts so smaller guests can look at the construction!
The slingshot is open again, as is the 3 point challenge.
The fence being down really emphasizes what an improvement the stamped concrete is over the old asphalt.

A Vekoma Flying Coaster would be a good option. Theme it to boogy boarding (big at the shore).
... right next to superman?
In place of it *ducks incoming thrown objects*

Video starts at 6:09 for the Boardwalk/Shoreline pier stuff, before that is Project Purple updates.
They have started working on the pads for all the new rides going in.
Slingshot is open, good views of the site from the ride.
it’s kinda cool to see some of the SFA rides getting saved for the boardwalk
From the picture it looks like Barrels O Fun has begun assembly. I know there were pieces staged near the new ride pad but it appears they are being put into place now,.
On-site. Barrels O' Fun going up.....
That's going to go up fast! I bet it'll be entirely assembled by next weekend.
^I would say it's almost never the manufacturer. Off memory, I know Adena Corp and Skyhigh Coasters are two of the more 'known' contractors in the space; I don't recall if they're doing these specifically, but it would likely be some structural contracting company.
