apollo 13

if this coaster is very themed as people make it sound it is ganna be.. i think a cool thing to have it do is make it go backwards...like have it somehow its like about to reach the planet and your goin like straigt up and then u just fall backwards.. i think that would be cool.. like right as it gets to the top theres a little screen and a dude comes up and says "houston we have a problem" then it falls backwards.

Apollo 13 is a rumored ride to go into USF between MIB and BTTF. What chilled has done here was make a random statement that does not make much sense at all. I don't see where you're going with this...

well what i was trying to say is make it a coaster that is something like chiller... you know gets to the top and then falls back and does everythign all over again..so wut i was think was when it gets to the top a little screen pops up and then a dude says "houston we have a problem" and the it falls backwards..

That is very possible. The Arrow shuttle loopers did it. I heard this ride was going to have covered trains.I dont think that is such a good idea. You go 70 mph in a car, but it isnt exactly thrilling. I tihnk it is becuase you cant feel the speed. and if there is only a side window, i think this ride has the potential as a barf magent.

And doesn.t it alos just have a porthole to look out of, which froces you to see tyhe theming? I think it should either completely enclose or completely open.

Truer words were never spoken. Especially in the case of Vekomas and Togos.

I've also seen the drawings.
Ok, I won't say it's bad. But for all the money they're going to spend, I'd rather have another B&M. Let's look at this thing. You get in a box, will take a long time to load, and then it seems like a wild mouse ride, if that. At least on MIB you're shooting stuff and trying to beat the score of another car. On this one, it seems like you'll be looking out a tiny window.

I wish we could vote for new rides. I really don't understand how park people make their decisions.

Did you know most people don't like the new Posidens Fury at IOA? They like the old show better. How much money did IOA spend to change the show, not to mention it was down all summer during peak time.

Parks should have votes on their web sites for the new ride the people want.
