I agree about boat ride. For RVs, my thought is Cobra's Curse @BGT with controlled angling instead of free spin

That could work. I was thinking about this for the story...

In a quiet, rural German community, there have been an unusual number of strange creature sightings in the forests north of the local hunter's lodge. Guests enter the hunter's lodge in search of a hunter's license, but learn that all licenses have been suspended due to a shortage of deer, an occurrence that some believe to be the work of Nachzehrers, or vampires. The lodge's warden has thus agreed to extend temporary licenses to anyone brave enough to investigate the strange activity in the forest, along with free Kübelwagen (tub car) rentals and supplies for the trek.

We can change elements of this premise but this could very well work as a starting point for an E-Ticket dark ride/coaster hybrid.

Edit: Come to think of it, we might want to simplify the story. It could just be...we visit the hunter's lodge, a radio alerts us to strange activity in the forest, we find the vampire, chaos ensues.

Sounds good. Maybe for the ride name, I guess "Jagd auf den Nachzehrer"? Best I could do.

The only problem with the ride concept being a roller coaster is I don't want it to be too much like Verbolten, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA:


For instance, don't use those hot rod-looking cars as coaster trains.

I think the focus will be on the environments above the coaster elements, so we'd be safe there.

Ride Vehicle:
Guests will board two sets of four person carts for this exhilarating adventure that use a combination of top of the line technology for Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa, and Harry Potter and the Escaoe from Gringotts at Universal Studios Florida. In doing so, on the surface, the vehicles will look very similar to those of Cobra's Curse, but with a more silver, and rusted metallic feel, but have the same "guts" as gringotts. A spinning mechanism is found inside, that can control movements into certain directions in order to focus a guests attention. This is accomplished through the usage of sensor near the track, that send radio signals to a small, onboard computer, that will focus the cart in the desired direction.

Exterior & Queue:

To the left of the Germany Pavillion, where the small stage currentky resides, guests will find the front of Hunting Lodge 413, whose back is buried in the dense forest. Guests first enter into an aboandoned lobby area, where small TV screens report on the disappearance of deer all around Germany. We continue through the rifle room, where large stocks of guns and ammuntion are found, and then the prize room where (faux) animal heads are hung in tribute to their hunters. When nearing the ride, guests are then let into a hall of backlit doors. Little do they know, that this hallway is indeed the preshow, disguied as a portion of the queue. This is acheived by Cast Members holding groups up at the end, and preventing guests from rounding the corner that enters the hallway. We hear a man helling in German, before we see his shadow, alongside his assistant. He talks of how the disapearence of deer are causing him lots of money, because there is no more to hunt. His assistant says that he called someone who can help. We hear a woman running from one end to another, as her silhouette appears. She explains that these dissapearences are due to the mysterious Nachzehrer, a vampire-like creature. The boss wonders as to what they could do, before the assistant suggests sending the visitors on a hunting mission, free of charge, so long as they capture the Nachzehrer. The window shades that the silhouettes were projected on then roll up to reveal animatronic versions of the three, who direct us out back, as we take a new, hunting cart out to find and stop him. We then continue behind the lodge, in a faux, nightime environment, as we board our carts, and ride into the forest.





PS: @Basketbuddy101 , @IAmNotAHufflepuff , or @mharrington , can any of you post, because I am really busy tonight.

I'm very sorry over the inactivity this round. Life just got in the way, as I had a really tedious and stocked week on my plate.

If we end up losing, I'll gladly accept elimination.. I'm out of town this week, in the Rockies, as well, so I wouldn't be able to do much next week either.
