Of Coasters and Parks that Could Have Been...

The Arrow-Vekoma boomerang that could have been in place at Camelot. It got canceled due to not getting permission on the grounds of noise and possibly being an eye sore from the roads.

( This one is mostly un substantiated scuttle butt ) Possible Vekoma sitdown looper for Southport Pleasure Land. prior to the parks closure in 2006. Along the lines of Millenium coaster at Fantasy Island ingold.

Oh! I could think of a unique selling point for a Hyper: An enclosed 100ft+ Airtime Hill. A World record breaker and world's first

Or a Zero G Roll Hill. The world's first Hyper Coaster with a Zero G Roll

I'm still wondering if you're basing the SFKK thing (Knight Flight and Superman) just off that video. That said an enclosed airtime hill isn't much of a USP.

Universal Studios London. Can't imagine that wouldn't have uprooted the entire UK theme park scene if it came to pass.



On the subject of European movie-themed parks, Disney MGM Studios Europe. Would've been built and opened a mere four years after Disneyland Paris itself did, and like its neighbor park it would've been hella ambitious in scale and detail. The studio park we eventually got only came to be because of contractual obligations.

A pretty big what-if revealed recently by a former Efteling park director: Efteling had plans to acquire Parc Astérix in the mid-90s and convert it into basically a second Efteling. The plan went as far as them commencing talks with the then owners of Astérix, but no deal ended up being struck.

Efteling had plannen om Frans attractiepark Parc Astérix over te nemen

Het Franse attractiepark Parc Astérix had eigendom kunnen zijn van de Efteling. In de jaren negentig zijn er binnen de Efteling plannen geweest om...

I'm sorry, but is your source Theme Park Predictions or something? Some of these I could see but others seem very out there. If you could link some sources that would be appreciated.
 
I’ve also heard the rumbling that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was supposed to be a B&M hyper, and the only reason it wasn’t was because B&M’s order book for 2009 was full. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it would make some sense given that Hollywood Dream at Universal Studios Japan, the ride that inspired HRRR, was a B&M hyper. Although maybe Universal simply wanted something different and Maurer offered it?

I’ve also heard of the second giga for Cedar Point. I never heard B&M mentioned specifically, but it would make sense given that Millennium Force is an Intamin.

That's the same thing I've heard about RRR
 
on the topic of GhostRider

the orginal idea of GhostRider at knotts

basically ghostrider was orginaly going to have WAY more better themeing. like a full-on clear storyline kind of theming.
it was also suppost to have a MUCH different layout. early desings had it looking like a ++ sized version of kingdom coaster a dutch wonder land. it still have the L-shape though.
