Damn that’s a ton of money for one coaster?!?! 320 mil for one coaster. Everest and DAK was consider extremely expensive for $100 mil unless that budge is for all those.

I’m using GOTG Coaster as reference (400M I believe?)

They announced the cost of that!?

Use SDMT's budget if possible. I don't know if we know it's budget exactly but it would be closer to what we are going for I feel!

It’s been hinted by insiders as being extremely high, a money vacuum, and I have the vague memory of a number like that being mentioned

Interesting. Makes me wonder if Disney’s fronting the RnD cost for this coaster design. If it’s a new system, Verkoma (who is building it) might not be willing to front the bill.

I had envisioned the Star Wars Coaster as a highly themed enclosed Coaster, maybe using a sitting to flying position, as it’s a fairly unique coaster system, and that’s why I used GOTG as reference, however I can cut it down a little, anything else I should cut down?

Insiders, Martin I believe, mentioned that it would have some sort of Spinning functionality, but that they are having problems with getting it to work as they wanted?

No, you are fine. I misread Voxel's initial post so thought you were talking about the Snoopy Coaster! Absolutely keep the Star Wars one at that price (Maybe even closer to $350) and I would say bring the snoopy coaster down to $150!

I’ll have to hit Martin up next time he comes down. Something tells me disney might be paying the RnD coast

Honestly, it’s supper hard to keep up with the GOTG thread, there’s tons of banter (as there should be, honestly, they should have simply rethemed RnR, and use an IP that fits in the worst case scenario), so actual info gets sometimes lost, and there’s only so much info I can read continuously...

I don’t touch those forums. Like I said I’ll probabky offer him drinks next time he is down. Some of my friends are good friends with him

Ace, my idea is that the Star Wars Coaster, can be at a Space Port, and it takes you on a thrilling battle in the outer space to help Luke destroy the Death Star. How does that sound?
We can alternatively have it based on Rogue One?

I like the idea of following Luke to destroy the Death Star more!
I'll start working on the Muppets area tonight/ during lunch tomorrow!
@Magic Feather and @DisneyManOne I would love to hear what you two also think!

That sounds like a great idea!
My current concern is where to put the Star Wars Attraction, as the blue area currently has a coaster, so maybe we can converse the Hurler into an RMC as D proposed for around 60-80M, maybe? And use the land behind Muppets to build the Coaster and it's space port area?

FYI RMC conversions cost around 7 to 15 million. Which gives you 55 mill for theming.
I love numbers

Any ideas to what theme we should give to the Hurler?

How does Indiana Jones sounds? It's the best idea I have for it so far
