Umm.. We are already getting a new 'small' coaster. I rather get another dark ride like the shoot em up kinds. SCOOBY DOO!!!!!!! But. That's where they have one of the haunted houses, I do not see six flags doing anything with that specific spot.

Demon... We have a 'small' looper. The park is really well rounded off. I would be content on leaving it for the next 5-7 years the way it is! Maybe some small changes, but nothing too much.

Hmm. I dont know. I think it's too carnivalish... Plus with Ragin Cajan, The Dark Knight and Whizzer and Demon, Spocket Rocket, I think our 'childrens' coasters are really good. I still think the park is in great shape, now even better because of the addition of the Dark Knight. :lol:

A fairly large ferris wheel would fit pretty nicely in Trailblazers spot.

I think trailblazer will come back next year ;-)

Construction for TDK will begin soon, I hope.

Hate Cajun? I'm offended. Even though Cajun isn't high like Raging Bull it still has it's own ups. No other coaster has a vehicle that is programmed to spin. :)

I know Six Flags will put a lot of effort into DK and it may be better than we expect. So why complain about a ride which hasn't even been built?

I think this may just be a typo error, but I observed it and thought I would ask...

According to RCDB, it lists the GAm and GAdv versions costing 7.5 million and the one at NE only for 7 million...

If this is the case, then where is the extra $500,000 coming from?

^That won't happen, however, we DO need a new ferris wheel...i would call it The Wagon Wheel if it's in Trailblazer's spot. 8)

As for that extra 500,000, this probably might sound stupid, but do you think they'd use an existing building for a cheaper cost?

would be neat, Intamin still has the triple wheel listed in their catalog.

Though realistically a nice 150 or so foot Vekoma, Bussink or Italian Made standard ferris wheel would be nice. Along the same lines as SFKK.

I just heard about this, lol. I'm actually excited for it cause I haven't been on an indoor coaster. Kinda odd that were getting another Mouse(was hoping for a major coaster like the Rock n Roll Coaster at WDW) but another Mouse is cool cause I enjoy em. I expect the theming to be top notch for a ride like this cause a ride that has the name, The Dark Knight, better be themed well or else its a disgrace to the name. Looking forward to this!

I really need to get a job now cause I need to get my season pass to go next year. I haven't been in 2 years due to not having a job and the money to get a ticket or season pass. :cry:
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but did you guys notice that Six Flags has added very similar things to three parks 2x in a row for 2007 and now 2008. The three parks are New England, Great America, and Great Adventure. Let me explain.

2007
New England : Wiggle's World (Retheme of an Area) Thomas Town as Well
Great America : Wiggle's World (Weren't they going to retheme Camp Cartoon Network?)
Great Adventure : Wiggle's World (Retheme of an Area)

2008
New England : Mack Wild Mouse called Dark Knight
Great America : Mack Wild Mouse called Dark Knight
Great Adventure : Mack Wild Mouse called Dark Knight


I just noticed this and wanted to mention it.

For a Ferris Wheel, How about an Intamin Coaster Wheel like the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. I know Intamin didn't build it, but they build a similar ride model.

For a Dark Ride, instead of Sally, how about Mack (2 Ride Deal and save money). The Atlantis Adventure at Europa Park looks cool.

The Pictorium is no longer a IMAX projection system. It is a Iwerks Projection System.

IMAX is getting to be a dead format. The large film used to give the best picture quality, but now with stuff going digital IMAX just cant compete.

Also back when SFGAm got rid of the cushy seats in the pictorium it ruined the whole experience, the uncomfortable seats forced you to watch the movie rather than catch a nap in a climate controlled environment :)
