SFGAm Lifetime Trips: 104 
Awesome!
Now....how long until those webcams get put up?!

Our coaster is named after a trained and seasoned warrior who was embarrassingly taken out by a teen with a slingshot...
^
 That is what you have to say. Not about the speed, the drop, the inversions, the turns, RMC, the world records, etc.
I am so excited for Goliath! It's looks like some of the elements to this coaster have never been done in a woodie either. My only question is what type of track it is going to have. They are calling Medusa, a steel coaster, but Goliath, a wooden coaster, so does that mean this will have topper track and not steel track. Can anyone confirm?
A Facebook page for Goliath has been started as well. Check it out at www.facebook.com/goliathrc Feel free to post/comment and talk about Goliath on that page We are the only park to be getting a BIG coaster next year. MM is getting a kids coaster but that is it!
It's wooden not hybrid.
Medusa is getting an Iron Horse treatment like NTG and IR which means it will have I-Box steel track from RMC. Goliath will have topper track like Outlaw Run. Founder of http://www.sfgamnation.com
Favorite Steel: 1. Maverick 2. The Incredible Hulk 3. Millennium Force Favorite Wood: 1. Outlaw Run 2. The Beast 3. American Eagle
Lol, I am very excited, I just had to be ornery for a moment. This ride will be AWESOME!!!
Did they say when they expect Orbit to reopen? I'd love to at least get one ride on it this year.
Way back when it was asked about Demon at LaRonde. That ride will be asymmetric and that rules out Cajun. No confirmation but I'd guess Zamperla suspended windshear. I don't see SF buying anything from Moser, Mondial or KMG, the other makers of asymmetrical top spin type rides.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
The good news is that they haven't taken it down yet... So, there is hope for this year for it to still be open. ^I think you mean Chaos, and not Cajun. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
Hank said that he was gonna try to get Orbit open soon but if not, it should be ready by next season
SF trips 09 = 15
SF trips 10= 11 SF trips 11 =7
Hmmm. Just a thought. Has anyone thought that since Ragin' Cajun is leaving at the end of this season, that they might move Orbit back into the Mardi Gras area? I know it's kinda pointless but just putting it out there.
It may be feasible to put it back in Mardi Gras, revert the name back to Orleans Orbit, and put a SkyScreamer in Hometown Square where it used to be. I could see it happening. "Remove this man before I commit an act of violence against him."

Would be cheaper to just put a Sky Screamer where Cajun was and not play musical rides, costs a lot of money to move a ride, even within a park unless it's an unmodified portable model, and even then it's not exactly cheap or easy.

Oh I just remembered this. Thursday off-camera I asked Brandon Bruce (since there's room for a possible flat ride in the old Theatre Royale) if we'd ever see a dark ride. He said that the current Dark Knight queue may be converted back into a theater like it was before. He then went on to say that they'd remove the pre-show and redo the queue line some TDK someplace else.

^ It'd be nice if they used all the existing theaters before building a new one, but anything is better than a queue line I guess. At the least it would provide another place to sit down and cool off, which the park definitely needs more of.
^^ I've been thinking about them turning TDK's queue back into Theater Royale for a while now. Nice to know that it's not just an enthusiast pipe dream
The only problem is that the area is really locked on places to put a queue now. They could move TDK to RCs area once it leaves, but that wouldn't be too smart.
What I would like to see in 2015 is a retheming of Dark Knight. I have a feeling that giving it a Green Lantern theme will allow for more. Either that or turn on all the effects.
Or set fire to the thing. "Remove this man before I commit an act of violence against him."
