Carnival New Construction Plans Leaked – 44-Loop Roller Coaster!
It’s a race to come up with the newest, most exciting on-board attractions. Recently, Royal Caribbean launched their Quantum class, boasting Skydiving, Robot Bartenders, Bumper Cars and more as part of their “WOW Campaign.” Evidently, Carnival Cruise Lines is not to be outdone. Today plans were leaked showing plans for the next big thing – a 44-loop Cruise Ship Roller Coaster! Appropriately, the ship is to be named the “Carnival Behemoth.”
According to sources, Carnival is attempting to one-up Royal Caribbean’s WOW marketing efforts with their own campaign, called “WTF.” From a confidential source at Carnival:
“Our goal is to have passengers’ jaws drop upon boarding. For the first half-hour, the only words out of their mouths should be ‘Oh, my goodness.’ They’ll find so many outrageous attractions and activities, that they’ll totally forget they’re on a cruise ship. We’re still analyzing whether we’ll even need to stop at ports.”
The most significant “OMG” factor is the new 44-Loop Roller Coaster, called the “Slippery Sea-Snake.” Passengers won’t be able to miss this new addition while on board – the ride weaves in and out of almost every outdoor area on the ship. “While relaxing poolside, passengers can be entertained by the roller coaster cars whooshing just above their heads every 85 seconds,” our source said.
According to our rep, the cruise line had a difficult decision to make when choosing the one main attraction that won out the “OMG Factor” campaign. Other than the cruise ship roller coaster, the line was considering the following.
- Trampoline Laser Tag Venue
- African Safari at Sea
- Hunger Games Arena
- Zero Gravity Space Adventure
When asked whether he thinks that cruise passengers might find this “over-the-top,” our source replied: “Yes, they’ll find it over the top – over the entire top of the cruise ship. And they’ll be like, ‘oh. my. goodness.”
What do you think? Are you excited about the Slippery Sea Snake or do you think Carnival should have gone with one of the other options?
April 2nd Update: For all of those excited for the “WTF Campaign” and the new “Carnival Behemoth,” we’re sorry but it was an April Fool’s goof! Happy April 2nd, shipmates!
April fools! Lol
It wound awesome but at the same time i wouldn’t like to hear the roar of a roller coaster every 85 seconds whole relaxing on vacation… Jst my opinion
I love the roller coaster ide, but did carnval take into consideration the passengers that just want to sit out read a book and relax; or what about the guest that is just enjoying the sea and meditating. I think that carnival need to reevaluate this idea.
You would have the option of going on another ship… variety it’s good
Then go on another Fun ship and relax
Nice April Fool’s Joke
Don’t think I would want to hear a roller coaster every 85 seconds if I’m trying to have a nice relaxing vacation!!
April Fools!!!! LOL!!!
APRIL FOOLS!!! Seriously? I sure wouldn’t want a loud, annoying roller coaster going over my head every 85 seconds. Let alone the screaming people and the jerks that spit and try and hit you while going through a loop. No thanks. The other venues sound awesome though.
It’s too much. It stands a chance of overkill for entertainment. I’m loving the idea of reducing ports of call and adding more days at sea but this coaster idea is really over the…edge….so to speak. Its why I prefer Carnival over RCCL, it’s a cruise ship, leave the rides to the Disney lines. If surf and sand are what is needed, try the Santa Cruz pier but don’t try and v compete with a cruise line that’s completely over the edge on cruise ship concepts. Keep it simple guys
Disney is better than Carnival any day of the week
This has got to be an April fool’s joke.
Talk about taking things too seriously! You need a cruise!! This is awesome!!
Bad idea or is an April fools joke ? if it is a serious plan then its a bad one, I go to relax not to hear a roller coaster and screaming ppl every 85 seconds. What idiot thought of this concept.
Hilarious. I particularly like the name of the ship, the “Carnival Behemoth”. Great joke.
April Fools as I don’t believe there are any 44 loop roller coasters on land let alone on a cruise ship!
Thats an accident waitin to happen
LOL April Fools.
Stopped cruising with Carnival after 2 bad experiences. May need to reconsider that decision if they add the roller coaster! Sounds awesome!!!!
If they would do it, this will be a ship I will not step foot on… I am on a cruise to relax not an amusement park on the ocean…
Hope it was an April fools joke.
Yes agree.
Dumb – dumb – DUMB!!!
Oh please…I hope this isn’t true!!
should have gone with the hunger games arena. Happy Hunger Games opening April 1st
I love the idea of having this over the top attraction and if people don’t wanna hear the noise choose another ship.
(
I’d die to be on this ship, kids would have a blast and it gotta be cheaper than Disney.
This would be an Amazing Adventure! Hope to see it jappen, and I hope I get to cruise on this ship someday. Love Carnival!
I know this is an April Fool’s joke, but the trampoline laser tag actually sounds fun!
What does carnival offer for fun besides drinking and shows and water slides why your at sea. What do the offer kids and teenagers . You have to consider royal Caribbean is thinking of the kids and family as well and what do you do with your time at sea besides pool and just walking around the ship and eating just assuming that everyone needs to have fun
This is stupid!! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING !! If I want to hear people yelling on a roll coaster I go to theme park.
I go on cruise to relaxing on a chair on deck. What the ocean. Have peace. Not people on a roller coaster. I really hope this was April Fools. They should of went with something else.
Shame, trampoline laser tag would have great – especially right under the rollercoaster for added adrenalin 😉
April Fools, or not, a more modest coaster at the aft part of the ship isn’t a bad idea,especially on the more raucous and youth orient Carnival line. It fits the Carnival name. While maybe, “Behemouth,” is over the top, it would have to be a larger ship, so others could relax. Listen, if Harmony can have a 10 story slde and others can have Bumper cars and two story race tracks and weightless skydiving, a coaster probably just got tacked up on the planning board for the next “Biggest Ship at Sea.” Maybe the jokes on us for giving Carnival or RCI or even Norwegian the idea.
Haha – it was totally an April Fools! Thanks for the comment.
So not cool, I was so excited lol. They should put some of those ideas into play though, awesome additions.
Haha – sorry, Tina!
same, skip the noise!
any plans to replace elation with a newer ship
Ummm this was posted on april 1st, it’s not real.
