bobroo Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 My single lifetime attempt at dropping in was a complete failure and I my butt has zero ambition to try it again. However what I find interesting is the unmentioned traverse court in the background. Also I'd have to say that a half pipe/ traverse course is some type of land based activity and there's no way this happens on an intensely sunny and gale force windy future Deck 16.

WAAAYTOOO Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I would think that this kind of activity on a cruise ship would be an invitation to injury lawsuits. You would think they would have learned from the jumping bubble...whatever it was called.... cruisellama, Nicci, sammy79 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted October 8, 2023 Report Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hrmm, I think this is just a show element in the AquaDome, not a new halfpipe for guests. I say that for two reasons: I'm pretty sure Nick mentioned it when I was in Finland as something they were working on. But even if I'm remembering that wrong, Nick tweets about his shows almost exclusively. Qeyton Dude, BrianB, KJ777 and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I agree with Matt. This is posted by Nick Weir. It appears that it’s just part of a production show and not for passenger use. Just like the trick bicyclist they had as part of the production show ‘The Gift’ on the Anthem in the past. It was only for the show…not for passengers.

bobroo Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Time for some whataboutism! What about Crown's Edge on Icon? The upcoming thrilling activity where passengers are going be suspended off the side of the ship only being held by their safety harness. Walk around some obstacles then the floor drops out from under you and supposedly a trolley brings you back onboard like your area meat packing factory. I think passengers riding skateboards is perfectly on par with them ice or roller skating while at sea. Oh! and Crowns Edge.... I need to edit and add this to the list of confusing and not well thought out recent Royal nomenclature and lingo. What 'bout that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 I just wonder, who's the target audience for a skate board show though? You may get a few extra of the X Games generation, but it doesn't strike me as something the older crowd would get there early for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Icon is already aiming at the Gen x aged parents that have kids between 6-12. Both of these are a target audience for skateboarding and "extreme" sports type acts that they may incorporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might change my mind after the inaugural (if I don't cancel), but I am not holding my breath. There might be too much going on on that ship for even someone like me who prefers the larger ships. I am still annoyed by the lack of options for families who want two bathrooms and not two rooms. teddy, OCSC Mike, ScottD and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Wikipedia (which is never wrong)... In 2020, Xennial was added to the Oxford Dictionary of English.

GatorCruiser Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I’m a proud X’er with youngish kids and I skated as a youth, and I still have no interest in a skateboarding show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 I'm not imagining a full on skateboarding show, but a larger show where some skateboarding might be a part of it. Sort of like the high wire in Aqua 80's. It's a portion of the show, but nobody would call it a high wire show.

JB17 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Tony Hawk officially became a senior citizen this year, and much of Gen X has already crossed that threshold, so Royal's just catering to the seniors.
