New Ride(s) for 2015

[Foltzy]

I like to think outside the box


With cars still by eagles entrance, a rebuild of the raceway next year. Where the pictorium is and put a sky screamer or screamin swing in the middle of the cars. Maybe put it under the tracks even

[sfgam-fan]

Turn the Pictorium into a hotel!

An old, musty, mildewy, windowless, luxury hotel

What about the former Cyber Cafe? Chances are there's tons of buildings that could work for hotels. Maybe Necropolis or Where the Hospital Haunted House is?

I can't see SFGAm getting into the overnight hotel business, especially with their Key Lime Cove partnership. If they did a cabana-style in-park suite, I assume it would only be open during park hours.

Sorry, I meant an exclusive room for high-end rich morons... I mean people.

I know it's completely out of the box, but what if they got rid of Dare Devil Dive and replaced it with a Screamin Swing? That would be awesome looking down either at County Fair or Eagle. Depending on where you sit.

That would be great but I doubt they would get rid of an up charge attraction

Do they really make that much money off of it anymore? It seems like whenever I'm near there no one is ever on it.

[IzCoaster]

Does anyone else want a MaXair?....

[Tardis1972]

I do

[untalented893]

I'd love one. I still think revolution was the wrong Frisbee ride to get. We'll never get one as long as revolution is there though

[VuDooJoey]

maXair is cool, but everytime I've been to CP it has been down for a good majority of the day. Just doesn't seem that reliable to me.

[sfgam-fan]

Sadly revolution is pretty unreliable too. It was down for an entire season soon after it opened.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Skyscreamer in that DDD space. The ride would fully execute the space, and it's only a matter of time until SFGAm gets one. What's left of the old raceway could be dug up and then used as the queue line for the ride.

[stockboy300]

I did want a Max Air till I rode Skyhawk! in my opinion Skyhawk has better air time.

[SFGAMNUT9302]

I agree with VuDooJoey, the Dare Devil Dive location would be great for a sky screamer, especially the way they have been revamping County Fair over the last 5 years. They could always ditch DDD and put one of those Giant Sling Shots in the park elsewhere like they have at Great Adventure and Magic Mountain. The 2015 anouncment will be coming soon enough

Edit: I just re-read your post and you said Screamin swing not Sky Screamer, lol. My bad!

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Screaming swings are by far my favorite flat. As long as they have long cycles, then I'm fine with one.

Giant Flats would be a good idea but I think we could really use a good indoor ride especially when all rides are closed and when the weathers bad. TDK is the only option we got pictorium is closed havent seen a decent show in there since marvin the martian 3D. A good 4D theater would be nice its high capacity or like some posters are saying indoor shootem up ride like mib in the old Ragin cajun spot or somewhere in the southwest territory would be nice not a whole a lot of space but im sure it will fit.

[Goku1910]

I'd love a Screamin' Swing as well....Interestingly, Six Flags does not own a single S&S Screamin' Swing so it seems unlikely.

I was in Pigeon Forge about a month ago and they are building a Margaritaville Hotel on the second floor of this entertainment/shopping center. I think it would be cool if Great America could turn some of Orleans Place and Hometown Square's second floors into rooms. It would never happen, but it would be really cool (especially Orleans with the balconies, etc.) even if it was a few over-priced rooms. If you haven't seen the place in Pigeon Forge, it is The Island at Pigeon Forge with the hotel opening this October.

[sfgam-fan]

That is a cool idea. I can imagine them being daytime "suites" where you can rent them out for small parties, hang out on the balcony, etc. It would add even more life and energy to the space.

If I remember right, they use orleans second floor for storage (& offices too?), but regardless, integrating them into the guest experience is a cool idea.

[Bakercat13]

Doesn't seem like a screaming swing or sky screamer are being considered as the survey had no mention of either. As much as id like to see another roller coaster, the most we would get is a zac spin or some other capacity nightmare in rajun cajun's spot

[tp41190]

I wish that Six Flags would create somewhat of a "Challenge Park" like Cedar Point. It's not the best idea but it's interesting to think about.

Basically they would remove the Go-Carts and Dare Devil Dive from inside the park, and move those attractions into the parking lot just out front. If they ever did something like this, I would hope that they would get a better SkyCoaster. All they would have to do is have these attractions open a little before the park opens, and then an hour or so after park closes to grab the entire park leaving and going into the park. It could also grab people who don't feel like going into the park, but just want to do an upcharge ride. They could then have a mid size restaurant and bar type of place for people to hangout at in the middle of the day or go to after the park closes. KeyLime Cove can put a pick up area right there. If the restaurant was unique enough, they could even have it open all year.

The park doesn't have a lot of space to play so that would be an issue.

The whole non gated park works well in resort areas, but I could see how it could pull in the wrong kind of crowds in the Gurnee area.

I would really like to see a LIM launched coaster with a little more punch than Vertical Velocity. Or a redone Giant Drop to incorporate multiple drops or a launched ascension

I believe Intamin is incapable of turning Giant Drop into a multi drop/ launch Free Fall ride. An Intamin blitz would be a nice coaster though

I think everyone here has just about abandoned the zac spin idea, but if there was any hope for that I would say it is gone because of the accident in spain.

And capacity is a nightmare.
