People should not want this ride. It's a poor ride that will be a big disappointment. Other parks who have it have shown it's popular just b/c it's new and people want to see what the new ride is about Few after riding it once are thrilled it. It's not a ride you have to do again afterwards or a must go ride multiple times on a trip to the park. IT'S UNDERWHELMING!


Tell that to Six Flags then because they seem to want them. I'll take it you wouldn't ride it if we do get one. What makes you think that it would be a big disappointment? I won't be surprised if every park eventually gets one even SFMM once GLFF is torn down for it.



Six Flags also seems to want Superloops and keeps putting them all over the place and nobody seems to like them much. It's a disappointment b/c I rode it just last week visiting SFGAdv. Taking a generalized poll of talking to many people they were underwhelmed and were good after 1 ride. I felt the same. BTw, SFMM already had a 4D, it's called Green Lantern which is called the Joker at SFGdv and Batman at SF Fiesta.[/quote]

It seems like whatever were going to get in 2017 your against it. So what do you want to see in 2017 because its clear you don't want a Free Spin or SuperLoop and these seem to be the two rides were most likely to receive. I don't mean to be rude but your posts seem to be focusing way too much on the negative side of things.

Yeah that's probably not going happen ever. In fact I hope AE never gets torn down and is just left SBNO forever once it closes whenever thar happens.

^^Besides the fact Kingda Ka is too tall for our park, it suffers from frequent downtime (and Intamin is not coming back to our park anytime soon with a coaster); Mr. Freeze is an almost 20 year old design that while fun, is outdated and also suffers quite a bit of downtime (but a modern Premier full circuit launch coaster would be fine with me); Dare Devil Dive is a Eurofighter, and while they are fun, their low capacity would be a poor fit for our park.

Eagle is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I think the park will get a flat ride package, possibly including a super loop.

When was the last time SFGAm got a new flat ride? It seems like it's been quite a few years. And there are so many empty places to put them too.

I wouldn't mind that. I wonder what flats we would get besides a SuperLoop. Maybe a Giant Discovery in Revolutions spot. Not sure about the third one now.

I didn't read your post right. My mistake. I'm not sure about that. We can only hope though.

Same here, but it exceeds the height requirement, so it wouldn't be until next year atleast.

No worries Tardis! I haven't been on a Sky Rocket II but I have been on Full Throttle and Mr. Freeze so if it's just as good as those I would be one happy camper.

Maybe a ride like Catwoman's Whip? It's close enough to Orbit to be a replacement.

Yes, I would LOVE a Zamperla Endeavour. Those look amazing.

The Giant Discovery is just a bigger and taller version of Revolution, so I doubt the park adds that and an endevaor is SIMILAR to Orbit. Not exactly the same, but similar...that seems possible with the Orbit leaving but still just don't see it happening.

Everything makes sense for an S&S FreeSpin seeing the amount of space they are clearing and stuff. We shall find out in a few days!

Wtf is going on?! Damn I was in no rush to end my vacation or have summer end but September 1st needs to get here.

I honestly hope it's a show at this point cause this way every one can complain we got a show & not a 4D coaster.

SFGAm does have a habit of closing things and leaving their spaces empty for years. Maybe they will get a show and leave some open spots next season.

Honestly, at this point anything that is added to the park, that is a net + in terms of rides added would be awesome. The east side of the park has needed work for a while, so it's good to see they're focusing on this area beyond what they did with Goliath a few years ago. That said, if we have to wait a year or two to receive a truly spectacular gigacoaster in Eagle's spot, I'd be willing to forgo almost any and all improvements until that time.

That's one of the few things we can completely rule out...
