What should replace Deja Vu and Splashwater Falls?

[traincrossing9]

Since both of these rides are being removed and are fairly close together, i'm just wondering what Six Flags will make their and what you think should go there. I'm thinking a Eurofighter that goes 90 degrees underground and has a butterfly loop like Deja Vu had, kinda like a tribute to it.

My friend, that's never gonna happen. If you were gonna connect the two spots, I'd say a vertical drop coaster with a tunnel under the walkway.

I would love to see bbnp taken out due to its outdatedness and a huge coaster put in that takes up all three spots. Personally I think that would be best, but definatly not in the immediate future. Perhaps a few years down the road.

That underground section does go under the walkway so that the cobra roll tribute is at the far end of Splashwater Falls.

If they're gonna keep that lake there from SWF, you could end it with a splashdown ala Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa.

They won't keep the lake there...that's one of the reason's it's leaving

[Trailblazer Tony]

I'm totally down for a Griffon too! I miss BGE soooo much because of that incredible ride!

How do you know that?

There's something that happens to the superstructure of the ride (steel) when its placed into water, especially chlorinated water. Its called rust. Add 20 years and you have a big problem.

That and if they were to "reuse" the pond, which they wouldn't, it leaks badly. Talking on the order of thousands of gallons overnight. Starting the 3.5" supply line at 6 AM gets it topped off at about 9AM to replace the water that has seeped into the ground.

Not to mention with such a old design, it was not maintenance friendly. The new single chain models are much much better.

I've learned in my time here that RBF is almost always right.

I've Seen SheiKra and Griffin and I dont know if I want either type of ride at Great America.

They look like 3 trick pony rides (Drop, Immelman, Splashdown) similar to another type of ride at Great America (Pretzel Loop, Helix, In line twist) and I don't think a simple layout is good for a Park like Great America.

Our last Original design coaster was in 1999 with Raging Bull!

A Euro Fighter in my opinion would be better and probably cost about 10 million dollars less and 1.5 Times as long with more elements and inversions.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^NOTHING like Superman! It is such an impressive ride for being so simple, you'd be surprised how awesome an addition like that would be. I guess we'll have to see what the future holds for that section. Maybe we'll get something far fetched, like mini golf or something.

[Demon_07]

^Yeah. Like Captain Feathersword's Hot potato mini golf. lol.

There is only one logical answer to this question:

Launching stand up inverted wooden hyper-4D coaster.

The Lemon Chill guy told me.

[cycamps]

I'd be happy for any coaster to go in.

[superflybri]

Hmm.. What I would want to see would be a custom wooden or a floorless B&M to complete our circle of B&Ms. Maybe if this is a good year, something will replace Deja and SWF. As of RIGHT now... I do not see anything happening unless the company is on its feet.

[Demon_07]

How about a swinging stand-up inverted coaster. lol.

[Go Cubs Go]

Anything but Tony Hawk's Skateboard Roller Coaster will work with me.


Maybe an Aquatrax?

[FParker185]

I vote for floorless woodie and a non blue sky

[Demon_07]

Jeez, a floorless woodie. How about turn one of the flumes into a watercoaster.

[viper1988]

good one parker!

[traincrossing9]

What about a LIM 4 seated wooden hybrid. 4 seats across like on Raging Bull.

[Coastermonkey61]

^Make it a lay-down coaster and I'm there

[superflybri]

CHOOO CHOOOO THOMAS THE TRAIN SECTION! WOOT!!!

Or- A zipline from the top of Sky Trek Tower to deja's old station.

[demon boy]

I really like the aqua-trax idea as the pool is already there.

But i'm pretty sure were all pretty sure that Thomas Town is going either there or in place of SSA.

[Coastermonkey61]

^Please God, no Thomas Town.
