Wildlife World | Family Coaster | Chance Rides

[ECG]

RCDB has listed and posted some photos of this new-for-2016 coaster. http://rcdb.com/7410.htm#

Although I have yet to ride Lightning Run, I'm hoping to see another of those mega-lites being built.

Wildlife World is a Zoo and Aquarium located in Litchfield Park, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. It already has many rides including a log flume, skyride, carousel, safari tram, African train and Australian boat ride. All the attractions are pay-per-ride and this will be the park's first coaster.

Phoenix already has Castles n' Coasters and Enchanted Island, so another coaster as well as a possible new park near the Grand Canyon in 2017 (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=38742) could make Arizona a great add-on for any enthusiasts planning a trip to Las Vegas.

"Family coaster" though, rather than "Lightning Run"-esque?

Has it been confirmed as a Mega lite now, since I've heard it will rather be their Big Dipper model, meaning, it will be more of a family coaster than a Lightning Run kind of ride?

The track certainly does not look like Lightning Run's. It's also much smaller, so I'd almost guarantee it's a family coaster.

Well, Enchanted Island seems to be a Children only credit now, but there is an EF Miller I think about 20 minutes NW of Phoenix.

Regardless, anything will be interesting to be put near there

^It's actually Miler Manufacturing. It's called Gravity Roller Coaster and it's at Schnepf Farms, which is about 40 miles SE of Phoenix.

Thats the one ECG. A friend of mine did a small trip to get it while visiting friends and talked about it on facebook/ello.

Remember this thing? Well it's done. It's been done for a while, actually.

It's an alright family coaster, probably comparable to that of a Zierer Tivoli. The name appears to be simply 'Family Coaster'. And it is indeed Chance(hence why they uploaded the POV).

Oh my god those supports scream RCT3.

Not a bad ride for a small park aiming at families.

The coaster hasn't actually opened to the public yet, but I've gone ahead a unsticked it since construction is finished and I won't remember to do it once the thing actually opens.
