I hope they are expanding HH, and putting in an atomic water slide! That would be so frickin' awesome! I honestly love HH more than the other part of the park. :lol:

If we got a Screamin' Swing, (for me) it would be as good as a new coaster. I really like them! I kinda doubt that we will be getting a major coaster this year, but for 2010, I might consider it! :wink:

We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't want a screaming swings. It just doesn't seem to fit in right. Especially in the very front of the park. Maybe if it was put in Splashwater Falls' spot...

If we were to get a new coaster in '10 where would it go?

I don't think that's been confirmed, has it? All we know is that SSA is giving way to a new attraction.

I would hope no coaster goes into that spot.

I hope not too. The coaster would have to be small and I don't think anybody here wants a small coaster.

We already have two of them, and both of them are pretty underwhelming. Might as well go for the trifecta, it's the Six Flags way.

How big is the area? Do you think that a coaster like the Steel Hawg could fit in that spot?

Yeah, that'd probably fit. Can always extend a little into the parking lot if need be. But I'd much rather see a flat there.

I would rather see a flat too but if we are going to get a roller coaster that could be a posibility.

Not unless Six Flags is gonna make a clone and put them in a few parks. Seems to be the only way GAm gets a coaster.

Raging Bull was not a clone and I don't think V2 was a clone either.

^I don't think so. Wicked Twister is the closest that I've seen but of course, it's different.

Umm I do not know much about roller coasters and the industry because I am pretty new. I know V2 is a clone.

Is V2 a clone of them or are they a clone of V2?

V2 was a clone of Superman Ultimate Escape/Steel Venom/Voodoo at Six Flags Ohio/Six Flags Worlds of Adventure/Geauga Lake/Dorney Park.
...there

SUE, Steel Venom, and Voodoo are the same ride. When it opened at Six Flags Ohio in 2000 it was called Superman The Escape. Six Flags renamed the park from Ohio to Worlds of Adventure a couple years later. When Six Flags sold the park to Cedar Fair they changed the rides name to Steel Venom and the parks name back to its original name Geauga Lake. They then relocated the ride to Dorney Park and renamed it to Voodoo, and ended up closing Geauga Lake.

If a coaster was spread across deja vu and splash water falls spot, it wouldnt be that small. Look at google earth and campare both spaces to other coasters. I'd actually much rather see a coaster than a new flat.

There's a V2 at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in San Francisco, but because of height restrictions, they modified it so that the spiral tower is at a 45 degree angle and the back tower is something like 150 feet instead of the 180 or so that SFGAm's is.

And as already mentioned, the namechanger from Ohio and now Pennsylvania is the same ride.
