Yeah Um are next big coaster is in 3-4 years!!! So by then the park is not going to need a floorless, So are next coaster is up in the air. But I would expect a family coaster soon

I would beg to differ. The first rollercoaster we are probably going to get under new corporate is probably a new family coaster. The more family coasters you have the better.

Your que appears to interfere with the current infrastructure for the Rapids ride: eliminating backdoor access for maintenance and the like. Acces to the midride position for the Rapids also would need to be very closely examined, in addition to the heights for the coaster elements above the ride. And do you realize that you placed the station right on top of a reservoir for the Rapids ride?


I say it could be built, it's possible....I beleive there's a coaster that already is over a rapids ride at another park, not sure which one though...
I say fight for 125 or higher...how much of a fight was put up when Raging Bull was proposed? The queue can be re-worked, there's room there...thus making backdoor maintenance for the Rapids ride untouched...the heights of the coaster elemets above the Rapids would depend on a)how tall the coaster is b)how much head space is between the rapids ride and the track that crosses over head. I didn't realize that the Station was on top of the reservoir for the ride, it can be right next to it, or perhaps the station can be built over the reservoir? When a park adds a new coaster or any ride for that reason, they usually a) find a open patch of land in the park, or in the parking lot(NOT SFGAms case) b)Remove a few rides/shows for the new attraction(SFGAm has done this before) or c)Move some rides to another section of the park(SFGAm has done this too) d) build over an existing ride, if possible.

Any others I missed?
