What are the chances of sfgam getting a new B&M coater?

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

I think if we get a new coaster it will be floorless. The first year we have it, it will probly be a parking lot coaster, but after awhile they'll fix it up.

You only get the floorless "effect" if you sit in the front row in my opinion.

The best park of a Scream! or Medusa clone would have to be the Zero G Roll, that thing was amazing. in my opinion much better than batman's.

Yeah the zero-g on a floorless is awesome (the only thing my Dominator is missing). That is so true about the floorless effect only being good for the front. It's very ironic, but my favorite seat on Dominator is the back row because of the air off the block brakes.

IF we did get one, hopefully they would be nice and atleast dig up the parkin lot and maybe put down some dirt atleast.

...and some fertilizer and seed which makes grass and some small trees and bushes which is called landscaping, something they're doing right this season.

All of us are talking about putting a floorless in the parking lot but where do you think it will go specificly? I mean where are they going to put it, on the side of Bull? I dont think that would happen.

Is there any speculation of any OTHER type of coaster? I mean, what else could SFGAm logically put in? And . . . have they been building a coaster every other year?

Well, you think. What else could we get? in my opinion a floorless seems most likely in this situation. I highly doubt we will get a dive machine. Or the 4d will finally be taken out of the shed! (Darn now my cousin will be un-employeed) :roll:

I guess there aren't really any other B&Ms we would get. Can't see a dive machine being put in, that would be a waste in my opinion. Floorless would be the only thing really that would make sense.

Again, where exactly do you think they are going to put it in the parking lot? I can't think of many places...

I think that they would either remove the go-carts and put it there or put it in the bus lot. I guess the buses could park in part of the back lot that is hardly ever used. This is just my guess. It could be right or wrong.

Look at the G's on that ride. 6? Wow that thing looks intense. I don't know how good capacity could be. I'd rather have a traditional coaster like a floorless. I bet SF will wait a year before they give you guys anything else.

Woah. That thing is nuts! Look at it's track, and that tower. Looks kinda cool though. Yeah, I certainly won't be expecting another major coaster next season, but I can see a floorless happening sometime.

Everyone has heard rumors of every type of coaster.

We usually do get a coaster every other year. I havent been to sfgam on a weekend, if the weekends are really busy, and if we get enough money from this season and ragin cajun, then Tim Black will make the decision.

I think that we will get a parking lot coaster personally. I HOPE we get a floorless. NOBODY, except for SOME people know what we are getting in the future.

I think that maybe we could afford to get a coaster like oblivion, next year. But Six Flags wouldnt get it, because it would take forever to check the harnesses.

Maybe, I guess they could pull a B:TR or Raging Bull.

A large Medusa West (Sea Serpent over Cobra Roll) style floorless seems likely in the near future more so than a 4d or a Dive Machine.

Why would you say the Sea Serpent over the Cobra Roll? After all the trouble Magic Mountain has had with their POS, I mean 4D, I really don't see SF installing one any time soon. Heck - I'd like to see you guys get a ride similar to SCREAM. Take care of it and it could be a good ride!
