They would never take out Batman. On the race to one million riders last year Batman finished second, which means that it is still a huge favorite with guests. Being that I am not a fan of IW (and lets face it the ride has seen better days) I would removed IW, and put another coaster in its place. The idea of a water coaster sounds neat to me.

Whatever will be removed, I guarantee the park already knows what it will be. All we can do is hope for the best and anticipate an announcement years from now.

I like SF's plan right now and don't think they should add any big rides. I think cleaning up the park and fixing all the broken rides is the way to start. Adding the kid areas will be great for my little three year old. I just hope they look at the high food prices and their customer service, as we had a big issue with both last year. :lol:

You know, i wonder if instead of getting a new coaster, why not do what they did with AE and just get a new train? Like for example making RB floorless? I mean, with coaster now adays, almost anything is possible (especially with all the unnesecary off-season time gam gets)
YEA!!!! THREE MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!

Unnecessary off-season time? Yes because everyone would love to go to the park when its 0 degrees out with a -15 Wind Chill.

Raging Bull floor-less would be pointless. Those coasters have loops and I would rather eventually get a new looping floor-less coaster and keep our hyper-twister the way it is now.

Its not that simple to open early. The date set to open usually gives just enough time for the park to get ready to open. Also, the date may be pushed into May because of buy-outs in April.

Geez, it was just an example.

Ok, i'm sure every one has noticed, i don't know that much about coasters. I'm learning, i really do have a passion just like everyone else and i want to get to know these things more. i'm only 14 and i have school work and other stuff (not saying you guys don't) but please, instead of badgering me (like some of you do after every f***ing post i make), help me. Drop a PM and let me know what i said wrong. Then eventualy, i'll know when i'm right and when i'm wrong.

If you have lived in Chicago for any period of time, then you'd know that the weather in April is iffy and can change at a moments notice. So having the parking open for the GP is pointless, plus Six Flags is not going to lose that extra revenue off of buyouts just because you cant wait to ride Raging Bull, sorry man, Its not going to happen.


Also, you have brought up the idea of Raging Bull having Floorless trains several times, and when you did and when people called you on it, you came up with the same, Oh im 14 and i dont know anything blah blah blah.
Thats really starting to get old.

Thats it, im done here. Galvan, thats the 1st time i've brought the floorless thing up, and even if it wasnt, i didnt say in this post it's what i wanted to do! It was an example! Obviously it would be stupid, it was off the top of my head. Im sure you'll all be glad that i'm GONE, and frankly, with you galvan, being one of the elders, i would expect some you to not be the worst one. You are the reason im leaving, i've gottent the most badgering and crap out of you than anyone. If someone calls something on me, i usualy appologize and learn but you try to blame it back on me. Yeah, your right i AM 14 so get off my ass.

I like the idea of taking out Iron Wolf. It hardly ever has a line anymore and even in row 1 its a head banger. That would be a nice place for a floorless, it even has some room behind it with a tad bit of forest it could use for a terrain style coaster.

I'm not a fan of actually riding Iron Wolf, but theres just something about it that enchants me that I can't explain. I just like to look at it.

Well lets see then......

Could take out
Iron Wolf
Whizzer
Batman
Viper
American Eagle
Demon

Will not take out even if you could
Batman
Viper
Whizzer
American Eagle
Demon

Wont take out for at least ten years
Superman
Raging Bull
Ragin Cajun
Dejavu

I don't know, the only way i really see us getting a coaster is if they get a burst of money and buy that lot across washington street, its been there for years jsut waiting for Six Flags to buy it :lol: Theres 10 acres over there i believe which could be a section. Or if this were 2 years ago, they could put HH over there and put the dry stuff by the dry stuff :lol:

Wolf is my favorite standup. I can't say it won't be part of the boneyard ever, but for now it's staying put. And SFGAm recently sold property across I-94, I don't think they are instrested in purchasing right now. I see the next coaster probably being a water coaster similar to the one at SFKK.

I hope we don't get a water coaster. We already have a water park and what, like 4 water rides? I don't think we need another.

sooooo smooth.... 8) you people are crazy. But yes, it is a good sized perimeter for a new attraction, and even if they took Wolfie down, they wouldnt have to put up another coaster. It is a good spot for a dark ride. Also Camp Cartoon Network could be expanded.
