Paultons Park: General Discussion

It's looking likely to be Mack water coaster with a pretty basic layout, based on rumours and the footers already in place.

I'm sure they'll theme it up nicely like the rest of the area. I'm not expecting anything special from the coaster portion itself.
 
If you’ve traveled the world a basic water coaster is probably nothing too fancy to you. But if you’re a more casual theme park goer, or even a UK only enthusiast, it’s quite an attractive proposition! I think Paulton’s are very savvy in terms of how they’re looking to grow, and exactly what audience they want.
 
Paultons ever since Cobra has been playing it fairly safe and conservative with standardised thrill rides, with the Serpent's Curse fitting in with their strategy of keeping within budget, but still advance (with no unique thrill coaster just yet, if ever).
 
Storm force 10 is a very good water ride when working, absolute soaker though. No idea how a water coaster stacks up, how wet do you get?

Like any ride as wet as you design it to be.

What I would say is the rollercoaster bit on water roller coasters tends to be a bit naff. Very much a gimmick, though I haven’t done the newer Intamin ones.

Yeah that's why part of me is hoping that it won't be a clone of Skaoeen, as the coaster section is tiny.
