No I'm fine thanks. It's like you can't say anything without someone having a problem with it. That's what i want. I want a dive machine. Just like most people here. Get over it.

Why did you say "go to another park" just because I said I wanted a B&M Dive Machine? You want one too. Makes no sense why you posted that.

Actually if you look at his posts you can see that he dosent want one, he just wants a park rehab, I would be happy with a DM but I would rather see a rehab.

Anyway I think a nice yellow or green coaster would look nice there, but like a dark green not like DV green.

Well considering that they announced a LOT today, and a lot of new stuff going into parks, what if they are saving SFGAm for the big KABOOM. We are definitely getting something, and as long as it attracts families and boosts season pass/attendance, I'll be happy.
poor wolfie rip :(( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!

Thanks for those who posted the links and confirmed info!!! I'm happy to see that the waterpark is free with the season pass, maybe that's a sign that they'll either hold off on the seperate admission until a later date or they'll make it a bonus for getting a season pass! I'm also not suprised at what they released so far. With the exception of Magic Mountain (which the secret was let out ages ago), they only announced attractions that are clones of other attractions, so maybe since our park's announcement is withheld currently, it means we'll be a trial park for a new Six Flags Cloneable ride! Of course, Splash Battle is an option in this category, but there are others too. :wink:

Can I just ask something. No offense to any of you but,

What is a splash Battle and Dive machine?

Why is it such a big deal what we get as long as it is something?

Right now Sixflags needs money and they are doing the best they can do. It's great that some of you go to other parks , but honestly I like this park , the guest's could act better. But I really don't mind the prices because I only went to the park like 6 times this summer and 2 more times next month.

I am just saying given the fact they don't have to get anything new, shouldn't we be happy we get something?

Of course, yeah, we should be happy with anything. But when we get something with low capacity and something that doesn't utilize the space better then we have a problem. Sheikra of Busch Gardens is an example of a dive machine I would want.

I have no problem with the Splash Battle. I actually like the idea of a new family addition. I do come to the park at least once a year with my little cousin, who is still not tall enough v2 or the B&Ms in the park yet. So this attraction here will make her day more enjoyable, and a families day more enjoyable.

SAme with the rumored Hurricane Harbor addition. THe water park is great for families, expecially when they have kids that don't exactly like rides.

A new roller coaster would be nice, but a big B&M isn't cheap, and it won't serve to everyone in the park.

I know this has been said many times but all the Splash Battle bashers are getting to me.

And the only reason I'm pretty sure most people want a Dive machine is because Screamscape said we were rumored one in like 2007.

I'm not trying to repeat my self over and over again... just forwarding this post reply, so people don't have to go back few pages to find out what parks is getting what, also I didn't post a new topic since this is for "2009 Attraction", it doesn't say only SFGAm LOL so here ya go:

Six Flags New England- "Superman Ride Of Steel"- The Tranformation of Superman Ride Of Steel.
Six Flags Over Georgia- "Monster Mansion"- The Renovation of Monster Plantation
Six Flags Fiesta Texas- "The Wiggles World"- children play area.
Six Flags Over Texas- "Glow In The Park Parade".
Six Flags Saint Louis- "Glow In The Park Parade" and "Wahoo Racers" Slide.
Six Flags Magic Mounatin- GCI Wooden Coaster.
Six Flags Mexico- "The Dark Knight Coaster"- Wild Mouse in the box.
Six Flags Great Escape- "Saquatch"- a 19 story drop tower (SFNO S&S Towers Anyone?).

SFGAm, SFGADv, SFDK, SFA, SFKK, SFLR, SFD, SFNO- Nothing OFFICIAL at this time.
Six Flags Ameirca as the number 1 park at SFI.... this is JOKE!

I'm been on one (Sheikra), and they are nothing more than Raging Bull. The inversion doesn't feel like an inversion, and the drops just aren't that much of a big deal. I thought it looked cool before getting on it, but I was utterly disappointed.

They said about the Mexico coaster awhile ago because Magic Mountain didn't want it. It was first at New England, and because of permits, they stopped building it. So, it was offered to Magic Mountain, and they turned it down. So, it's off to Mexico supposedly.

Magic Mountain was never "offered" TDK, the plans for their new coaster have been in progress since before TDK was made. SF park officials dont have the authority to make those descisions, the company decides what parks get what rides.

TDK would be a bad idea for SFMM, two words, "Space Mountain", an hour down the Santa Ana freeway which is a far superior enclosed family coaster and building TDK would pretty much just make Six Flags look bad.

I have nothing else to say either. I think I'm done with this new attraction for 09. I have more than enough rides to keep me satisfied next year. I'm more upset about the water rides closing than Buccaneer's Battle going in Vu's spot. What does that mean for Splash Water Falls grave site?

I just heard an amazing thing about the new 09/10 attraction :D

Remember the possibility of GAR being removed? Well think of the rides in the surrounding area...then think of the old SSA site.

1 new attraction + 2 open spaces = you will be soaring over a new area.

Oh yeah, to re-word it.

"An current ride will be possibly soaring over a new location".

Then that leaves a nice spot.

BTW- Please don't assume I know exactly whats going on about the park. I may be wrong but this information is from 2 very logical sources...not just a random/friend ride op...heck, they might be wrong.
