Is splashwater Falls being removed??

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

A dark ride would really have nothing to do with a county fair..... lol, but then again, neither does demon or deja vu

A ride would not need a meeting for it to be built if it's under 125ft, regardless of what it is.
Just a permit, but those are regularly issued and don't need a whole meeting for.

First off, it's not for sure that SWF is leaving us.
Next, the probably wouldn't be building us 330ft, or anything close to that. If it's a coaster, it probably won't be some huge record breaker or like I said, anything close to it.

Next off, I highly doubt that Screamscape rumor has any truth to it at all, besides what the OnPoint blog already said. Plus I highly doubt they'd even keep the name Deja Vu, or even invest in a ride with such horrible capacity for Cedar Point.

And if it was a coaster, as Brian said, a town meeting would be held.




As of now, there is a 0% chance of a new coaster for 2008. 2009 is another story :wink: shhhhhhhhhh................

I still don't think were goning to get a new thrill ride until 2009.

SWF has a dicent plot of land and could ift a couple things there.

The dark ride wouldnt have anything to do with county fair but as you said neither does vu or demon, or iron wolf. I mean an iron wolf in a fair.

I guess we should wait for a press release or wait for them to take down SWF.

I have a feeling that when a dark ride is going to be put in, it will go in the arcade building next to Trailblazer.

^That would be the most likely spot, plus it could expand to the left as well if needed.

They should make county fair smaller and make revolution the border, then, when you get to wolf and fiddler's fling, call it Yukon territory. That would fit Iron Wolf a lot better.

I think that a dark ride would have a better theme in Southwest Territory because you could have like a "shoot em up" dark ride or something.

The plot for SWF could fit a small coaster so I don't think they would use it for any flats or kiddy areas. I'm not really sure on how much land they still have, but if they want to plan for a coaster in the future, they might need that area.

^Don't forget that footprint also can expand to the service road near Eagle.

While you can expand onto the service road somewhat, that service road MUST exist as a connection between the water park and the rest of the park, so it must be there in one way or another.

That's my two cents.

One in SFSTL - something "bigger than Tony Hawk's Big Spin"
One at SFDK - another gerastuler spinning coaster i believe
One at SFFT - (does Batman count as a "new" coaster?)
One at SFOT - some new attraction
One at SFNE - survey markings


If ALL of those turn out to be true, and also is true that SF will put in 8 new coasters, then three more parks will get coasters. Could we be one of those three?

I now believe that we may get a coaster......... I know that many people don't want one, but I love to experience many new coasters and rides. I also don't care if we get one for a few years but It would be great to get one again because of all the "first-time-a-rollercoaster-opened" memories, which are good to me!

Wow! That's awesome news. How reliable is that information? Can i at least get hopes up that somewhere in this continent 8 new coasters will open in the Six Flags company?! What kinds could they be?

I wonder if some of these coasters will be coasters that they have in storage (Houston) or are being moved from SFNO? :?:

I''ll miss SWF whether we get a new coaster or not.

I have a fear that if we do get a coaster, its going to be very small, un-unique, a clone, tame coaster. Because if we were to get a new big coaster, we would have know by now. Because a coaster takes a long time to make and create, so because there inst a for sure word of anything....we either aren't getting anything or its going to be another small coaster.

I have a feeling that the coaster's that are going in at SFGAm, SFStL, and SFNE will be Vekoma Moto-Bike Coasters, The Ones Going in at SFOG, SFOT, and SFDK will be Tony Hawk's Big Spin Coasters, The One at SFFT will be Batman of course, and the one at Great Escape will be Serial Thriller from SFAW. I'm not 100% positive, but that's how I feel about what's going to happen coaster wise. Take it or leave it.

I highly doubt SFGAm or any other Six Flags park wants relations with Vekoma anymore.

Haha.

We should get Euro Fighter- small foot print, and exciting ride ;-) BTW If SFGAdv got coaster in 06, and park manager said they won't get until 09, then in 08 we should get a coaster. SFGAm needs a huge coaster like RB, cause others are like medium thrill or lower. But I think we will get something small, I wouldn't be surprised if we get kiddie coaster, cause WW turned out to be great addition, and just imagine 8 nice coasters that's a lot of money, and Shapiro it's not spending it.
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

Perhaps Shapiro inked a deal with a Coaster provider/manufacturer to supply Six Flags parks with new family coasters or less expensive rides.

In otherwords, he bought some in bulk to lower the costs down.


Seems logical since every confrence call Shapiro boasts about inking a new deal with another company or so and so to do whatever at Six Flags.
