Okay, i haven't been to these forums in a few days, so i'm not sure if this has been discussed yet or not, but there are rumors floating around that with the addition of a flying B&M this year....the park is now only 1 type of coaster away from the B&M sweep. It is said that they will build a floorless coaster, giving the park a stand-up, floorless, hyper, inverted, and flying. I think it would be cool to have like the B&M park of the six flags parks...but in the end, would much rather see good money spent on the best coaster you can buy....and that my friends is a rocket.....but anyways, what do you guys think about this rumor?....

There is of course also the Dive Machine, and Sit-Down Looper.
There also are other companies out there too.

but no one is more at the top of their game than Intamin...at least not at this moment...

Well thats just your opinion. I'd rather have a coatser that could give the same effect Shockwave did. 7 inversions, tall, long. Not like S:UF,. Id rather have the Floorless.
I have a feeling that their next coaster wont be a B&M. I think that they may be done with them for a while because they alredy have 4 of their coasters. I would rather see them put in an Intamin coaster. That's just how I feel though.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull
Yeah, but it seems to me that SF has a closer tie with B&M than Intamin. Knowing Great America is another thing. They are the type of park that wants to do something that most other SF parks won't do. So if they would be the first park to have a B&M sweep of coasters, I'm sure they would take the advantage and go along with it. This is just my thought on the matter.
I though I heard somewhere that wintrode is looking into something with S&S-Arrow. Maybe a flats package or even better a thrust air or screaming squirrel.
you can't believe it - you didn't mean it
but they saw you do it and they know your name
I hope it's a flats package... don't get me wrong, coasters are great, but GAm hasn't installed any new flats since SWT (10-ish years ago?) and before that... well, years, and years, and years!
South West Territory was introduced in 1996. 7 years ago
 .
Flats would be great for the park but since I don't ride them, I would love to see a thrust air come to the park. The screaming squirrel doesn't look all that great to me. Plus, think of the advertising. "Come challenge our new coaster that rockets riders from 0-80 in 1.8 seconds!" sounds alot better than, "Come challenge our newest attraction: Screaming Squirrel!" The second one sounds alot more lame than the first and I think the GP would agree.

I doubt it would be named Screaming Squirrel.
 That would be like naming Superman just Airial Inversion Ride, or V2 just Impulse. On in RCT terms, naming Superman simply Flying Coaster 1, and V2 just Impulse Coaster 1. It's not often parks will leave the coaster's name it's production name. Sometimes, though, I think parks should leave it. The Flying Coaster at Elitched Gardens would sound better if it was simply Volare... But I hear it sucks anyways.A good name for a Screaming Squirrel though would be Stumbling Fools of Mardi Gras, if they put it in Orlean's Place. Cajun Cliffhanger would work, if they didn't mind reusing the name. It's happend already, there have been 2 rides called Delta Fliers.
I realize that they wouldn't name the coaster screaming squirrel, I was just using it to state my point. I just think it would be alot easier to advertise something that goes really fast or really high. The reason I don't think that I would like the screaming squirrel is because don't like how you are hanging upside down for half of the ride. I don't think it would be all that great having all of your weight pushing your shoulders into the restraints.

After deja vu, sf's is going to go for something reliable (b&m) so when we do get another coaster ill expect to see a floorless, or maybe one of those rumored b&m 4-d coasters, that would be tight
If B&M comes out with a 4-D, which I don't see happening anytime soon, I would expect to see some reliablity issues with it. Just because its a B&M doesn't necessarily mean its going to be reliable right away.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull
well, B&M, even with new ideas and designs for coasters, usually releases one that is quite reliable right from the get go. i'm not saying there won't be any problems with a B&M 4-D.....but it'll probably work better sooner...

I dont care what it is I just want it to be a thriller like The Bull. and alot of loops like Shock Wave!!!!
yeah, i really don't want another boring coaster...i want something to knock my socks off. they had been doing pretty good with bull v2 and deja vu, but with the addition of SUF (still a great ride but..) they need another new type.

Well the different tyes of B&M coasters are this:

 I'm Constipated
What is a diving machine, like does anyone know a ride that is one I've never heard of the type.
Its actually called a Dive Machine. Look at Oblivion on rcdb.com.

Oh I know Oblivion. I just never heard that term. That would be a good ride but it looks really funny. I was thinking, since Six flags is really big on cloning, does anybody know if they plan to clone Scream. I wouldn't mind that over here somehow fitted into the park. Or Superman Krypton Coaster I think they would work out really well.
Scream is a mirrored- clone of Medusa. SO its technically been cloned 3 times already.
