They wouldent use cars from wildcat on a new coaster. Thats just silly!

Completely different. Just looking at this of the track tells you that it is different.

But... they both have wheels.

I think a new wild mouse would be awesome! I went on the one in Busch Gardens Tampa 2 or 3 years ago. It was fun!

Speaking from personal experience of working on WildCat there is no way that the WildCat cars could work on that track. There are so many reasons why.

As hated that addition would be, a spinning mouse wouldn't be a bad addition to the coasters. Takes up very little space and it's something families can enjoy together.

The only reason I wouldn't want a spinning wild mouse is because I get sick on spinning rides :/

I rode the Fly at Wonderland which is the same model and it doesn't compare to Wildcat at all. I'd rather go without a cat and mouse style coaster than have that. However, a ride like Ragin' Cajun at SFGA would be cool. That ride packed more of a punch than I expected and is roughly the same size.

In general, coaster mice have terrible capacity, so I don't see one returning to CP. And Wild Cat was already far superior to the Mack variety anyway, so it'd be a downgrade to me.

I don't really get the concept of the Mack mice constantly braking the car before jerky turns and events. Why not just design the circuit properly for gravity like Schwarzkopf did with Wild Cat?

Is there enough space in DT's infield for all the necessary equipment? They couldn't even fit the HW parade canopy back there, and had to encroach onto the parking lot for it.

No there isn't room in DT's infield for that canopy. Regardless of what you see during the offseason tour and what Bing map shows you, that area is full of a lot of stuff during the season and continues to accumulate throughout the season.

Also, it isn't in the parking lot. It's on the other side of the fence right along where the employee entrance is

^Did you read his post? Dj already stated that there wasn't enough room for the canopy within DT and that it had to be built IN the parking lot (which it was) and subsequently, the perimeter fence had to be pushed out.

I know it was mentioned earlier but i really feel that a Zac Spin coaster should be able to fit in the small footprint of the wild cat. It would be a nice addition (along with the winged coaster) and would bring the coaster count back up (especially if disaster transport is demolished). I know coaster count isnt that important but i think that this would make a really nice addition... Just my thoughts…

Yes I read his post, and it seemed to me that he asked if there was room in DTs infield (hence the question mark after his first sentence). Also, did the words "the perimeter fence had to be pushed out" appear anywhere in his post? Thanks for the correction though.

PS: In my post towards DJ, the you is indirect. Better clarify that now.

One of those would enhance CP's lineup of unique rides, but don't they have pretty bad capacities?

I waited 2 1/2 hours last year for it at SFMM... Fun ride, but not worth 2 1/2 hours of my life fun.

Well reading your post it would seem that you didn't. Doesn't matter though since his questions were already answered on the last page.

I rather have an S&S SCREAMIN SQUIRREL than a Zac Spin.. cheaper... more reliable... and you hang upsidedown a bit longer.

Plus... if im not mistaken... power tower is extremely reliable.. and also an S&S product... so they have history.

I think screamin squirrels have more rph and a smaller footprint as well

Theres only 3 in the world... 2 are clones... and 1 has lateral turns AND the saxophone inversion, they even cooler if themed... think about one half indoors/ outdoors... such a scary experience... blind upsidedown drops

anyone else think a surfrider coaster would make a great addition to planet snoopy?

I think that would be perfect but you would probly have to take something out for it to fit.

It's funny you said that, because his question wasn't really correctly answered by you. That's why I chimed in. There is NOT room back there in the infield. So what does me correcting your mistake have anything to do with my reply toward dj?

As for the white canopy, I thought we were referring to the 2 pictures posted. My bad for that one.

LoL...my mistake? Am I qualified to give a correct answer, no and neither are you. But I have seen a crane placed within DT infield for work,so Id say my answer was pretty good. The crap that is back there taking up space would be removed before demolition started anyway. If they can back a tractor-trailer in there for storage, they can back in a crane (as they have done before). Regardless though, most of that building could probably come down from the outside.
