Are they the right park for a woodie ?
Any park is the right park if they have the money. I can't see a woodie in such a modern park like IOA. However I can see one in the Jurassic Park area.

If FoF got that great of a makeover than why can't I?
No, the whole park is future themed and basically all made out of steel. They are an extremely modern and wacky theme park, I don't think a woddie would suit them well. I think any steel coaster that is not inside is good for them. I'm not sure about a hyper or S & S 2k though. Anything like Hulk or DD would be good another good addition.

EVERY park needs a woodie.
Tell that to BGW!

There is no such thing as a park that doesn't need a woodie.

I think a really great CCI twister would be awesome in the jurrasic park section. They could do all kinds of cool effects and theming too...

Sure, why not? I think it would be great to have more wood in Florida. It would fit nicely in the Jurassic Park section, or maybe even in Toon Lagoon. It would really make the park complete because neither of IOA's coasters have really good drops.

What about a looping woodie ?
in the jurrasic park area ?
A Heide Park's Colossos clone can be built there! They can make it 2 feet taller and still meet the zoning restrictions!
I think they should put it in the JP section of the park and call it Velociraptor. Also make it a GCI twister with millenium flyer trains.

With A Hight of : 250ft !!!
That would rock !!!!
That name Velociraptor would be the perfect name for a ride like that !!
It's gonna be a couple years before we hear of anything. The IOATechs on another board flatly deny any rumors, like the ones being talked about all over the place.
They just spent 100 million on MIB. Each park has a top of the line simulator. They're gonna take a rest and get some return on investment.
Plus there is that 200 foot height restriction thing. No problem for a woodie, they could build one. But no Intamin Hyper coaster.
Gwazi at BGT is awesome, a woodie at IOA would be nice.
I think we're looking at a 2 year wait. I'll be patient and hope for something big.
I don't think they would ever build one, except maybe a looping one. They want to keep everything very futuristic, so a normal woodie just would not do it for them.

They have a height restriction of 200 feet. That is why PINK FLOYD FANATIC said they could make it 2 ft. taller than Collosus and still be in zoning restrictions.

A wodie in IOA? Never Unless they built a western themed area. True, every needs a woodie but not all can have them. I don't know how you could dino theme a woodie in Jurasic Park, but hey I haven't been there!

A woodie would fit right in the park, but only if it is themed properly.

I don't think a woodie would look right in this park. I would like them to have one but it would feel out of place with the rest of the high-tech rides they have. Especially in Jurassic Park.
