I hear it may take some element's from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

This thing has quite a bit going on before the actual lift hill. I can only imagine how the (seemingly extensive) theming will add to that first drop and zero-g roll even more when they finally add that stuff.

I really like what Gerstlauer has been doing with their Euro-Fighters, especially these very themed, very unique ones. They seem to be taking the same elements from ride to ride, but do a better job of "individualizing" each coaster more so than B&M does.

Which came first the turtle or the donkey?

I heard a rumor that you'll have to be at least 15 years old to ride it due to the horror theming. That'd be kinda strange if that were true... :?r

^ What the? Where did you hear that from?

EDIT:-
Unconfirmed
The ride will have an age restriction of 15+ years, as it'll be heavily based and themed around a horror film.

Samurai will be re-themed into Canada Creek for the opening of the coaster.


Its unconfirmed but there is obviously a chance of this happening.

Here's the link.
