They better not put in a boomerang!

Same capacity and technical problems, just like dejavu. And there probably removing it for a reason.

So far in the recent posts we have a premier launched coaster, Schwarzkopf looper, and Vekoma boomerang that "could" go to SFGAm.

Earlier this year Chiller at GAdv removed due to maintenence and unreliability, Zonga was removed after only a year of operation due to maintenence, unreliability, and roughness, and SF has removed 3 boomerangs in the past 3 years (im including Two-Face at SFA). Plus thinking that SF would even consider sending a boomerang to SFGAm is outrageous, especially when theyve already had DejaVu (Ragin Cajun/TDK was totally different situation).

If your going to post something outrageous at least make sure SF hasnt removed those rides due to maintenence recently! :roll:

Wow.

I think Zonga was built because it was from Astro World. I got to check on rcdb.com But I want a premier launch coaster cause they don't have a motor coaster at any Six Flags yet. Or a Euro Fighter like at Mall of America.

^There are plenty of things I want to go in to GAm to, but just because I like them doesn't mean that others would. So you thinking that people would like a "motor coaster" isn't logical, as many people probably wouldn't end up liking it. Saying that you want something won't make it come to our park.

If you are thinking about the Zamperla motorcoaster, that ride looks as short as Spacely's Sprocket Rockets. It's more like a kids coaster. It launches out of the station, and it just looks way too short. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NVQ1EDl ... re=related

Six Flags is worried about the money spending on these rides. They would sacrifice capacity for a cheaper ride.

Yea, I would think that Six Flags would build a motor coaster because I think its a great family ride. It isnt too intense and doesnt have a really fast launch.

But this would be way better then the Bucaneer Battle.

After Ragun Cajun , Dark Knight and Buccaneer Battle, our next attraction shouldn't be anything related to bringing families into the park.

Except the family idea has made Six Flags money

A motor coaster would be a great addition to the park. Help build the fan base of kids not big enough for the big rides but too big for the small ones. If you brand them young, they come back when they have families.

There are still Schwarzkopf loopers being bought and sold today, 2 just changed hands this year, one from Dorney to the German Fair circuit, and one that's undisclosed, but is coming from within the US to another US location.

Honestly, if lets say we do get a B&M or something big, it would attract families AND thrill seekers.

Did they park REALLY see a increase in attendance after the debuts of Cajun or Dark Knight? Have they really made more money? Are those rides (and 2009's BB) REALLY good in the long-term investment? Or will they be deserted in less than 10 years? Bull will celebrate 10 years next year and it is still one of (probably the) most popular rides at the park. It will stay that way until something even bigger and better comes along. Probably 2011/2012.

Considering Six Flags is posting it's first positive cash flow in at least 10 plus years in an economic down turn says something about the Shapiro plan. BB is a great investment in that most water rides are. When is the last time on a summer day you have seen the Rapids with an empty line?
