It is like every two hours. Personally, none of the movies have ever looked interesting to me. They keep the same movie all year. (I think)

^ Although that idea is very farfetched it's probably the most creative one I have heard yet. Also this mindless bickering on whether to tear down the flumes is really getting on my nerves.

Who are you talking to, fellow Hoosier?

Just so it's not a documentry this year I'll be happy.

To me the Pictorium so called "movies" are more like the educational "movies" that you watch in school expect on a really big screen. It's air-conditioned, so most people will go just for that.

I hope SFGAm gets new shows this year especially with the outdoor southwest theatre and the Bugs Bunny Show. (Even though this might not be the topic), did the Coaster Con talk about the new shows. Yes, I know it's called coaster.....

[DejaVu The Ride]

I still thing they need a floorless between we know what!

2006- It's the "key" to the future.

Yep, that's a very nice spot. In order for everyone to imagine a coaster there, they need to think "custom". It wouldn't be a clone.

Kind of off topic, but what are the green and blue pieces in this picture? Assuming these pictures were taken on the same trip, DejaVu is already up, but Shockwave wasn't down yet. (2001)

Edit: Never mind. This is obviously a picture of Vu not yet assembled.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Yep, Vu was still being constructed in those pics.

I heard somewhere on this site that they'll have Nascar 3-D in the pictorium this year. It would make sense because of their relationship with Warner Bros. and they produced it.

[TwistedSTEEL666]

they could demo some of the employee parking lot and build something there???

[twixmix0303]

That's what I was thinking.

How much of this area do they actually own?

[SFGAmfreak4life]

I think just add any kind of ride without taking anything out if possible. Dont care how many rides are added. Doesnt matter where the location is either.

[T.K.]

Look at this picture

If Ranging bull uses this much space. So why SF won't build anything behind AE?

1. It would be hard to see
2. Not enough space, if you noticed while riding AE there's not enough space between the helix and the last part of the ride...

Employee parking lot would be much better.

There are alot of places that they could squeeze in a coaster, but don't worry about it. They'll figure out the best spot for a new ride. Personally I think that IMS and Loggers Run should be demolished, and they could use some of the parts to relocate it into one ride in a better spot.

same here, but then they might again decide to get rid of Whizzer and put something there?

You

[sixflagsguy5]

I doubt it, because they could fit somthing inbetween Wizzer and Viper, and even if they needed a little more room, they could always put an underground tunnel that connects to a small part of the parking lot.

[TwistedSTEEL666]

oh they could if they demo both the Whizzer and Pictorium(sp?) that's plenty of space there and it's about equal to the footprint that SUF holds.

[Mr. D.T.]

I really wish Arrow Dynamics was still around to design and build their rides. Sure I like B&M and Intamin and all that, but Arrow Dynamics created plenty of worthwhile rides such as the Demon and Shockwave. I never ridden 'X' but I think that's a great one. And Arrow was the manufacturer. Sorry, but Orleans Place just isn't the same without the blue and white structure overlooking the territory (and I remember the accident).

To TwistedSteel: Aren't you forgetting Stargate? And I have to say that I read about the parking lot fill up completely, including the overflow. Trust me, we'll need all that extra space when HH opens.

[twixmix0303]

I would rather see them get rid of Splashwater Falls and the go karts than IMS and LR. Unless it's a maintenance issue, I'd rather run IMS and LR together and get rid of SWF, than run SWF and LR and IMS just sitting there. I don't think the go karts are as popular as they used to be, but I could be wrong (maybe I just saw them on a less crowded day).

[DejaVu The Ride]

Actually, you could just take out the Whizzer and plop down another S:UF(Not saying they will) in it's place without taking out the Pictorium. Hey they almost did!(Don't tell me it was a publicity stunt to take out the Whizzer. I already heard that one. )

And I have a question to many of you. Why all of a sudden do you guys want the log flumes gone? This campaign has really come out of nowhere and I don't see why you want rides removed when rides don't have to be removed.

[sixflagsguy5]

I didn't say I wanted the log flumes gone. I said it would be better if they were relocated to a smaller area.

If we get another coaster I think it will be blue, because thats the only main color thats missing. With the designing that roller coaster design companies can do these days, they won't have to knock down much to put in a great coaster. So don't worry about your favorite ride being knocked down. If they did knock it down, the ride they will replace it with will be just as good or better.

[BMRider]

There is a service road and other things between the employee parking lot and the park so that is out of the question.

I believe the area in between Viper and Wizzer is being used for something else.
