Seems like Skyscraper. Any ideas where it will go? Challenge park?

All it takes is a little following of the clues. It isn't hard to put together, really. ;)

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the trampolines go, and I know the RipCord crew wouldn't mind either. So, just...look around a bit, and it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

Forgot to ask, does anyone know when they took down the ride at Valleyfair? Two years is a bit of a short time, but it doesn't really matter. I'm actually not surprised to see ride shuffling between parks, though I wouldn't have expected something like that just for Challenge Park.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

According to Screamscape, Skyscaper will be taking the place of the Trampolines. You can make your own judgement on that.

I rode a Skyscraper at Timber Falls in the Dells and it was a blast! I have heard mixed reviews of the Valleyfair! one. Anyone know what makes one different than the other? I would think the ride cycle/program would have more to do with it than anything. And the restraints.

I rode this one at ValleyFair over the summer and it was a blast. The scary part is getting stopped at the top and then going backwards.

I didn't know what it was since I've never been to VF but this is a good video of it operating:

I rode it at Valleyfair during ACE's 2006 Preservation Con. I belive it was discounted to $5. The Sky Coaster was also discounted. I had planned to do both, but the Sky Coaster was booked for the night by the time I got around to it. This was my first (and currently only) Skyscrapper. I loved it.

I hate and will always hate the trampolines. Worst investment ever.

More then you would think considering 4 main components of the ride can be bought at Wal-Mart.

Wow I really hope it's Skyscraper. I think that would be a fantastic addition to Challenge Park. I've actually never done anything at Challenge Park... mostly because I've been on a Ripcord clone at Kings Island, and I can do the other stuff outside of the park. But now I might have a reason to check it out :)

The trampolines actually cost 30 grand.

I'll really miss them. Most inversions in the park, and sadly I never got a quadruple backflip all the way around.

I guess I can just pray for them to be moved to the empty space between Race Park and soak city.

And to think that Rebound use to sell the 4-way for only $20,000, Randall.

^lol (or at least I think it was a joke between our group)

If it is indeed what's going in (most likely), I think it's a nice addition to Challenge Park.
