Mike_ Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I was day dreaming today and thought, what if RCCL put a roller coaster on a ship! You could board on a low deck, it could ratchet you skyward, and you could sweep on down and around the back of the ship, almost touching the water. Then on the other side same thing and around the pointy end. RCCL, make it happen! You're welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I like the idea and we're already getting close to it with the Aqua Duck water coaster and Sky Trax on Carnival Vista. The only problem I see is that anything hanging off the side of the ship would impede docking. Vibration might be another issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just like on the Royalty Valhalla ship on an episode of The Simpsons. :) Matt, Mike_ and DocLC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Aqua Duck is a similar concept (as noted already) and it was fun. Think we did it three or four times in a row ... zooming through the funnel with all kinds of LED's flashing was neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 While I liked the Aqua Duck, I personally thought it was overrated. Once during the day and once at night was sufficient for me. My son on the other hand loved it and wanted to jump onboard the Disney Fantasy when we were in St. Marten on the Jewel just to ride it.

Mike_ Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Marc, You are good! I forgot all about that episode; it's probably where I got the idea... However, I was imagining it running on the outside of ship! http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/6/67/Royalty_Valhalla_rollercoaster_and_ferris_wheel.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width/640?cb=20120529145730 Just like on the Royalty Valhalla ship on an episode of The Simpsons. :) DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now your son won't have to do that if the sail on Harmony of the Seas!! DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
