Universal Orlando annouces new coaster.. and it's a mouthful!

Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Coming to Universal Orlando Resort.

Seriously, that name is really a mouthful to get out!

Yesterday Universal Orlando finally announced the name of the new roller coaster attraction they've been (not so secretly) building at the resort. This attraction will take the place of the now demolished Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge which closed in 2017. Each ride car is themed like Sirius Black's motorbike, complete with sidecar.

The coaster in question is a launched coaster, holding someplace between 14 and 21 riders per train. We can't tell yet if the sidecars will seat a single rider or be double-seated.

 Set around the general idea of a steeplechase coaster, no fine details about the ride are known yet. Although given the design, we can guess it'll be a more 'tame' coaster. With very similar qualities of Pony Express at Knotts Berry Farm.

 Also likely will be various show elements featuring 'magical creatures' in the form of animatronics stationed around the ride path. Although, from the looks of things, there will also be a jot though the forbidden forest if the concept art is to be believed! Giving the rider the illusion of encountering these creatures in their 'native' environment. Part of me also hopes Universal has an audio 'tour' with Hagrid narrating what each creature is and how lovely they are.


Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is set to open June 13th, 2019.

Universal Orlando- Changes coming to Wizarding World

Image from Behind The Thrills

Changing coming to Islands of Adventure and Wizarding World of Harry Potter. 

Not saying I'm surprised, but I am sad.

On Monday, Universal Orlando Resort announced that 'Dragon Challenge' or 'Dueling Dragons' would be closing on September 4th to make way for an 'all new attraction within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter'.

We knew it was coming. It's been coming since Universal made the call to no longer have this amazing B&M roller coaster 'duel' as it was intended. Many believe this voided the agreement with the coaster builders which would lead to long-term problems with the ride, as well as other issues with a computer system running it that was never designed to function in. It was a death blow and it was all just a matter of time.

All because people just can't listen to the simple phrase of 'No Loose Objects'. So in September, we're loosing another amazing coaster due to the humans ability to mess things up for everyone.

This leaves a very large question- What is Universal Orlando putting in this rather large footprint?

Universal has given us a few clues-

While this isn't a full announcement, we know that Universal WILL be building another coaster in the place of Dragon Challenge. Something with heavy theming which will also be a key part of the Wizarding World.

Stay Tuned- We'll be following this one closely!

Valravn Set to Smash Records as it Screams Over Cedar Point

Cedar Point announced today that Valravn, the park's first dive machine roller coaster will be coming to the park in 2016. This marks the park's 18th coaster and it's the first time one of these coasters is being built outside of a Busch Gardens park in North America and they're definitely upping the ante with the latest from Bolliger & Mabillard with this one. It will be the tallest, fastest, and longest of its kind anywhere in the world, fitting for B&M's 100th coaster.

The new coaster, named after a supernatural raven from Danish folklore, will be located where there the Good Time Theater once stood and offer plenty of new thrills for all who seek to tame the insanity. Just what can we expect from the newest shrine to thrills to grace Cedar Point's skyline? Well, here's the breakdown.

Riders will be arranged in an 8 across seat arrangement as they rise 220 feet before plummeting 214 feet back down to earth and reach speeds 75 MPH. You'll go through 3 inversions over the length of the 3,415 foot long course.

It not only features the world's tallest immelman inversion, standing at 165ft but it will bring the over 200ft club up to 5 total for Cedar Point as well.

Stay tuned as we get more information on this breaking announcement!

And now for the official POV from Cedar Point!


And for those looking for something a bit different, a Panoramic POV!


Here's a couple more pictures of the coaster from Cedar Point:

Epcot's 'Norway' May be Safe.. for now.

 Epcot's "Norway" May be Safe.. for now.



 For several months now we've been reporting rumors that Walt Disney World has been considering changing Epcot Centers "Norway" area to something with a 'Frozen' theme based off the hit movie as well as the countries reluctance to pay $9 million for updates to the land and ride found within.

In-case you missed these
The rumor of Frozen/Norway can be found here.
The Norway/Disney $9 Million Demand can be found here.

 For the last few days, Disney has been hinting at a 'Big Announcement' coming at the end of their "The Making of Frozen" special which aired last night ABC Family. This had whipped the speculation wagon into a full gallop with many believing we'd finally learn the fate of Disney's Norway and Maelstorm.

 Well, we can take a relaxed breath, for now. The only annoucement found at the end of "The Making of Fozen" involved the movie getting a new 'movie shot' and not a peep about the World Showcase country. While this may be good news, I hesitate still to accept it as gospel. It could be that Norway is just getting the massive refurbishment the ride Maelstorm and the country overall has needed for years.. or it could mean something else.

 Frankly, I don't know. Speculation exists on both sides of the argument with fans of the movie crying for a Frozen-Norway make-over while fans of Epcot and World Showcase scream that it doesn't belong. Personally, I stand firmly with the Epcot/World Showcase folks.

 We'll simply have to wait and see what the next hints from Disney and rumors mill involve.

Kings Dominion- More 40th Anniversary Goodies

 Well, it's a pretty well know fact that Kings Dominion is pulling out all kinds of great vintage park items for their big 40th anniversary in 2014. However, I'm sure people are wondering what else is going on with the park? Is anything else happening? What about normal type stuff? Any new perks?

Well, Thanks to Kings Dominion's Facebook Page, We've got these answers!

 In a series of reveals, Kings Dominion has been giving fans "12 Days of Christmas Surprises" over on their facebook page. Each day revealing new things which will show up in the park for the big #KD40 celebration.  So we've got them, all 12 presents for guests and pass holdings for the big 2014 season at Kings Dominion.


1. Return of the Floral Clock (Confirmed)
2. A "40th Anniversary" Pin Trading Program
3. Unlimited 'Dinosaurs Alive' visits for Platinum and Gold Pass Members.
4. The Second Year of Carousel Restoration (Ruby, the carousel house is being refurbished)
5. A Newly Renovated "Border Cafe".
6.  The famous strolling 'Clown Band' returns (Confirmed)
7.  The Walk of Memories (From the 70's till 2000's, Memories and History of Kings Dominion)
8. A 40th Celebration Merchandise Store (Confirmed)
9. The Return of the Coca-Cola Pizza Parlor
10. Improvements to Volcano: The Blast Coaster (More Below)
11. Fresh Paint for Anaconda
12. Blue Ice Cream sold in Candy Apple Grove


Overall, it looks like Kings Dominion is really trying hard to revive themselves and their history during this big event. Not only are they giving big park improves but they are also giving some new treats to regular visitors and pass-holders alike.

 Especially Nice is that the Coasters are getting some love.

 Anaconda will get a nice new coat of paint to celebrate the anniversary.

Kings Dominion reports that the ride supports will be green, the track a red color and the rides rails will be a shade of yellow. 

The lake is currently being drained but will return, clean and fresh for the new season. Don't worry, the park assured people this is only for the equipment to be moved around the ride to allow ease of panting the coaster.

 Not to be left out, Volcano-The Blast Coaster is also getting some heavy-duty love from the park.

 Improvements are being made to the rides long and twisting queue line, which the park states will help improve the rides "riders per hour" number. It looks like the outside area of the line is getting a complete re-design to accommodate this. While very cool, the ride suffers from log jams and flow issues with the current line- this will hopefully be a great improvement!

 Also on the list for Volcano- A multi-year project in which Kings Dominion will fully refurbish the 'Volcano Mountain" including new paint, new concrete and overall improvements to the structure.

 It looks like 2014 and Kings Dominion's 40th Anniversary is really going to be something special at this rate. Not only are guests getting limited time treats for the anniversary but also big, multiple year projects to improve the park.

Knott's Berry Farm- Major 2014 Announcements

Big News today from Knott's Berry Farm.

The 2014 plans have been announced and some of them are pretty impressive.

 While no new coaster is the works, Knott's has announced that the classic dark ride attraction "Calico Mine Ride" will undergo a complete refurbishment.  Opened in 1960's and designed by the legendary Bud Hurlbut  it's one of the most immersive and impressive dark ride attractions It carries riders through an impressive series of dark 'mine tunnels' of an active gold mine.

 Knott's stated the following about the refurbishment- "It is our company's top priority to preserve and enhance the original story of a working gold mine deep in the heart of the Old West," said Garner Holt, GHP's founder and president. "The Calico Mine Ride will be filled with lifelike sounds and motion, while maintaining the uniquely authentic feel of the attraction as designed by Knott's and industry legend Bud Hurlbut." The renovation of the iconic attraction includes the addition of over 50 new state-of-the-art animatronic figures, all new audio and theme lighting system, and special effects that will capture the imagination of would-be miners as they journey deep into the winding caverns of the attraction. 

  Also on the list for 2014 is the 30th anniversary of Camp Snoopy, Home to the famous beagle and his gang of friends since 1983.

 To celebrate this event Knott's is giving the entire land a new polish including adding in new attractions plus updating and restoring the entire area.  They also state the entire theme of the area will be enhanced and brought out to shine.

Legoland Florida- Possible Hotel Announcement

 A possible new announcement coming later this week from Legoland Florida.

 Rumor has it that Legoland Florida may finally make an announcement for their new themed hotel later on this week. This would allow multi-day visiting families to stay at the park, likely with additional perks such as early entry.  If this new announcement is the hotel, it would probably open sometime between the 2014-2015 seasons.

 This comes after Legoland California built a themed hotel for the 2012 season.

 -More news about this story when/if the announcement takes place.

Aquatica's New Slide- Ihu's Breakaway Falls

 After weeks of teasing the public, Aquatica has finally released more information on the their water slide- Ihu's Breakaway Falls.

 From previous teasers and leaked plans, we knew this new attraction to be 105 feet tall but that was all they gave us for over a month. Finally we've got some more details on exactly what kind of attraction we're looking at.

 A Drop Slide. These are famous for loading you into a small compartment and randomly dropping you into a steep, plunging speed slide. Ihu's Breakaway Falls is going to be the tallest in Orlando as well as the only multi-drop slide in the area. From the promo-teasers the park has released, it appears to have a total of 3 platforms. At this time it's unknown if that's 3 slide per platform or if it's three total slides.

 This slide is named after the parks colorful gecko mascot, who searched for thrills, hills and chills inside the water park.

 No formal opening date has been announced aside from "Coming in 2014".  This will be the parks first new addition since 2010 when they added in 'Omaka Rocka'.

Seaworld Orlando's 'Aquatica' Announcing Today? UPDATED

Rumor has it that Aquatica, Seaworld Orlando's waterpark will be making a massive expansion announcement at some point today.

Image from Screamscape

According to the spy network over on Screamscape, this new expansion will be called "Taruka Rush".  This may or may not begin a ten year expansion plan, adding many new attractions to the park. Beginning with "Taruka Rush" which is a new duel slide, which may be a fusion of two attractions already found at the San Antonio Aquatica.

Screamscape guesses this may be a mixture of a Stingray Falls and Wahalla Wave. This means a mixture of a 'Tornado' style ride and a family raft ride. This may also incorporate some form of animal viewing which Aquatica is famous for with it's attractions.

UPDATE:

Well, whatever this new slide or attraction coming to Aquatic may be it seems it's going to be 105 feet tall. Seaworld's Twitter account released this image, now I'm not sure but I can't seem to find a slide in what we suspect is this style that quite this tall. However, I will keep looking so we have the most accurate information!


InSanity lurks Inside will update as news becomes available about this expansion and when the announcement is made!

Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom: Major Additions in 2014

!!Breaking News!!

 Today Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom announced their big 2014 project. Major expansions are coming to Wildwater Kingdom in the form of a massive slide tower which will feature 6 new slides and the catchy name of "Snake Pit".

 This new slide tower will feature a series of slides. The first is a series spiral slides called 'Boa Blasters' which will have turning twists on 325 feet of slide.  A single slide series of tube slides called 'Constrictor' which will use single and double tubes, down a series of hills. It's 449 feet long with a height of 50 feet and a 360 degree turn.

The most impressive set of slides are called 'Python Plummet' which is a count-down slide. Enclosed in a tube, your counted down then dropped into a steep incline of slide. It is also the tallest point of the 'Snake Pit' addition at 65' tall on the six story slide tower.

With the addition of 'Snake Pit' Wildwater Kingdom will total 26 slides, two wave pools and two lazy rivers.

In addition to the big Wildwater Kingdom news today, Dorney Park isn't left out either. Returning to the park in 2014 the "All Wheel Sport Show" will return to the 'Good Time Theater'.  In the press release they state the show will feature special effects along side bikers, skaters, aerialists and gymnasts who will be performing gravity-defying stunts.  The show is reported to be "High Energy and High Thrill" by the parks VP and GM, Michael Fehnel.

So the big news in a nutshell:
Big Shiny New Slide Tower with 6 new slides.
Dorney gets "All Wheel Sport Show" to their 'Good Time Theater".

Cedar Point's 'Big Announcement' a Dud?

 Well this morning was the 'Big Announcement' for 2014 involving Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. I hesitate to call it a 'Dud' of an announcement but I think all of us were expecting a lot more then what we got.

For 2014 Cedar Point is adding "Family Style" Flat Rides to improve the Gemini Junior midway area.

 In the image we find a new "Flyer" is being added to the park called 'Lake Erie Eagles'. This is kind of a surprise addition, 'Flyer' style rides are often removed from parks these days, not added. The next addition is another flat ride called 'Pipe Scream' which is an adult version of the popular kids 'spinning tugboat' attraction.  The other move will be Frog Hopper which is being relocated from the midway to Planet Snoopy and renamed to "Woodstock's AirMail".

 Up next on the 'Big Announcement' from Cedar Point is the much needed upgrade of Hotel Breakers, which has been falling in quality for years now. Over the winter the hotel will receive what is the equivalent of outside face-lift, cleaning up it's dingy appearance. In the winter of 2015 the hotel will begin renovations and upgrades inside. Personally, it seems like Cedar Point got this backwards. Upgrading the inside should be your first and most imporant move to get people back into your high-priced doors, outside can easily be completed in the summer months while open. Again, just my opinion there.

 Honestly, I don't consider this it be 'big news' at all. Badly needed resort upgrades and fixing an already cluttered midway, don't really fall under 'big news'. Oh, good news for sure.. just not the big news they hyped it up to be.

What about that 'Dark Ride' rumor?!

 No word on the mystery 'Innovative Dark Ride' we all suspected would be involved in this announcement. Perhaps this really was just a rumor born out of hope or maybe it's a 2015 addition? Right now, we have zero answers and the park isn't like to talk.

 UPDATE 8/30/13
Today we found out news that Canada's Wonderland, NOT Cedar Point will be getting a dark ride. Canada's Wonderland is the most 'seasonally attended' park in the Cedar Fair family. Could they be testing this up at Canada's Wonderland, only to add it to Cedar Point later? We don't know but check out the dark ride Canada's Wonderland is getting!
Canada's Wonderland- New Dark Ride for 2014 "Wonder Mountain's Guardian" 

Rumor Alert- Canada's Wonderland Building for 2014/2015? -UPDATED

 Today we have a new construction rumor coming from one of my favorite parks, Canada's Wonderland. I make it no secret that we here at ISI fell in love with Canada's Wonderland during our review of the park early this season, if your wondering why I sincerely suggest you read the review!

Park Review- Canada's Wonderland

UPDATE 8/30/13:
The News has BROKEN! We know what's going into Wonder Mountain! Check the link below!
Canada's Wonderland- New Dark Ride for 2014 "Wonder Mountain's Guardian"

Now, Onto the rumor!

Image from Screamscape

 New 'holes' and 'patchwork' have appeared in the Mountain which is the focal point of the park. Rumors have gone wild that the park is likely building a new coaster or thrill ride which will use the mountain as a 'tunnel' ride element.  According to rumors found at Screamscape, the GM of the park has gone so far as to say on twitter that "I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know why there is a hole in the mountain". Judging by this hint, we may well be looking at some form of a new roller coaster being added to the park! The downside to this rumor is that we could see the removal of Thunder Run to make room, which also uses the mountain to house it's track and ride.

 Canada's Wonderland last built in 2012 when they added the amazing coaster Leviathan, a B&M answer to Millennium Force.

UPDATE 8/25/13
 Rumors are that the 'hole' in the side of the mountain are getting larger, either to remove something (possibly Thunder Run?) or to add something in (New Ride?). Currently the park still hasn't said a word about this development although some are saying that August 30th could be when the park makes an announcement about 2014 and what may be coming/going from the park!

Right now, nothing is confirmed or denied.

InSanity lurks Inside will bring you more information as it becomes available!

Dollywood Announces FireChaser Express and Dreammore Resort

Dollywood Announces FireChaser Express 

 "Now comes your turn to celebrate that heroic spirit in a new coaster that’s sure to test your mettle, and leave you screaming for more!  It’s the FireChaser Express – the nation's first dual launch family coaster – blasting riders forward and backward!"

Today at 11am Dollywood announced what the mystery project for 2014 will be. The park is adding in a new duel launch roller coaster called Fire Chaser Express. The stats for this new attraction look pretty amazing, the United State's first duel launch coaster. It's a forward and back launched roller coaster, which is labeled as a family coaster "little kids, 4 years old, can ride". With this addition Dollywood will now host seven roller coasters and dozens of other rides and attractions.  The park has also hinted that they plan to keep up the building spree in the coming years with new "big attractions" and "big shows".

Stats for FireChaser Express
Builder: Gerstlauer
Height Restriction: 39 Inches
Speed, Length and Drop: Unknown

It is themed around saving the great smokey mountains from a forest fire on the Fire Chaser Express train.

 This total upgrade of the park also includes a new family resort to be built on Dollywood property, both projects are costing in the range of $300 million over the next ten years.  The resort, called "Dreammore Resort" will have 300 rooms on 100 acres of property next the the water park with ground transportation available.  It's planned to open in 2015.

 There is also a new Christmas Show where Dolly herself will play the "Ghost of Christmas Past" coming to the park.

Six Flags Great America- 2014 New Coaster? UPDATE

Well we've got more news coming from Six Flag Great America today. It isn't official but it does speak volumes about what the park has in mind for the 2014 season and their newest construction project.

Rumor has it American Eagle may be up for an Rocky Mountain Coasters refurbishment. They are the well known builders of Wood/Steal hybrid coasters such as Iron Rattler and New Texas Giant. However, what is odd is that American Eagle is a Racing Wooden Coaster. It has both a Blue and a Red side. Rumor states that RMC will be re-building and re-tracking the blue side of the ride but no word on the red side yet.  I'm not entirely sure how this will work considering this is a racing coaster, could one side be going steel while the other remains wood? That would be a new trick for Rocky Mountain Coasters to accomplish.

 InSanity lurks Inside will keep updating as more information becomes available as well as when the park decides to do their reveal of what the plan is for 2014 and American Eagle!


UPDATE 8/29/13: 
Six Flags Great America Announces Goliath- Worlds Tallest, Fastest and Steepest Wooden Coaster!


UPDATE 8/22/13

Image from Screamscape

Well is Screamscape is to be believed, the new coaster coming in 2014 will be wood and built by Rocky Mountain Coasters.  One person there reported from somekind of meeting saying the ride will be 165 feet tall with a 13 foot drop underground, making the first drop a total of 178 feet. While this won't break a record for height, it's still remotely possible they could go for speed.

They are also reporting a weird 'track element' of the ride, something that could possibly be an inversion with a boost launch involved. It's the blue circled portion of the blueprints.








UPDATE 8/19/13

It looks like the rumors around American Eagle being the "New Coaster" for the 2014 season isn't true. Apparently the pictures have been faked (Gee Folks, you might have said so rather then name-calling cause that's really mature). Sources aren't exactly sure if that project is for 2014 or some others season.  Which leaves the question of "What is the 2014 New Coaster"?
We've got some more rumor news about the 2014 project for Six Flags Great America. Rumor has it that the "New Coaster" for 2014 will be wooden and that the park may be after some kind of record breaker. It may or may not be 'speed" which they are after, which brings in a host of problems. According to a meeting docket we found posted at Screamscape, the coaster may be 165 feet tall and in the location of the former "Iron Wolf".
