PCW Announces for 2006 - No new ride

PCW has posted much more detailed information on thier website about the 2006 attractions. While they use the term "show" it certainly appears to be much more than what we're used to (ie: School of Rock, etc.)

Visit this link, and allow the video to come up. Don't mind all the other parks shown in the PCW video. I have no idea why Volcano is in this video so much.

I have a strong suspicion we'll see this being built where International Showplace is now. That area is mostly dead, and Kingswood is a lot bigger than 2500 seats. The basics are there to turn International Showplace into what PCW_Josh outlined above.

As for those others who commented about this not being the official annoucement for 2006, I still think this is all that's happening. I doubt PCW would build this amount of marketing for season pass sales, and not include all thier new stuff for 2006.

I've been saying for quite awhile now that this is EXACTLY what PCW needed to do. To me this is the perfect addition for the park. A nice renovated Internation Showplace will almost guaranteed be the location for the new stunt show (hopefully something in the 30+ minute range) which will pull 2500 people out of the lines and into the theatre for the show. The parade will also draw families out of the lines and all together these 2 attractions should add LOTS of capacity. I'm also really excited about Fear Fest and I hope that they pull it off nicely, for $30 it better be good!

The only thing I'm really having trouble trying to figure out is the routing of the new parade. Most of the paths around PCW are pretty tight and don't have alot of space for big floats to be going through.

There is also going to be a new show in the Action F/X theatre to replace Sponge Bob which is currently in it's 3rd season, so something new in there will be great too. Hopefully Vortex will get a repaint as well, it's been looking pretty bad lately. Skyrider could do with one as well.

For 2007 look-out for a couple new slides in the waterpark as well as a remtheming to something like Boomerang Bay. Then hopefully in 2008 or 2009 we'll get that signature B&M we've all been hoping for. I'm 2 for 2 on their last announcements (fearfest and stunt show) so hopefully I'll be right again! *** Edited 8/25/2005 12:04:10 AM UTC by bassman2003***
