Looks like we have a name for the new Dive Coaster. Can't vouch for the authenticity of this considering it's being hosted on another site and wasn't found by myself but it looks pretty legit.
It looks pretty genuine to me & appaers to be an application to trademark the name & any images they plan to usse for the ride.
If I'm not mistaken a griffon is a mythical creature with the body of a lion & the wings of a dragon so this would also fit in well with BGE's old world european theme.
Wikipedia said: "The griffin was said to build a nest, like an eagle. Instead of eggs, it lays agates. The animal was supposed to watch over gold mines and hidden treasures, and to be the enemy of the horse. The incredibly rare offspring of griffin and horse would be called hippogriff."
How about "peter griffon" the ride.( ; *** Edited 7/21/2006 7:49:02 PM UTC by crazy horse***
what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I didn't know the "on" spelling was accpetable. I always thought it was "in"
"The Griffin (Greek gryphos, Persian شیردال shirdal "lion-eagle") (also spelled gryphon and, less commonly, gryphen, griffon, griffen, or gryphin) is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle."
Probably the common French spelling which would fit with the theme of the area. Same reason we had "Drachen" instead of "Dragon" before.
who gives what the heck it is?!? Lets just try to do some research to figure out what kind of coaster/ride it is going to be. It's about time they get a new coaster. They only have 4. When I was on the site it said, "Vertical Flying." That will be a cool combination if that means what I think it does.
My bad! How reliable is the source it's coming in your opinion? Seems to me it's in the works. *** Edited 7/21/2006 9:37:39 PM UTC by CoasterDiscern***
