-Space isn't a problem for us. We own more developable sq acreage than MM.
-Intamin isn't coming back the United States until they lower their costs and prove themselves to be reliable again.
-Eagle will never come down. Deal with it.Q
-Enterprises have been closing lately due to difficulty of finding parts. Replacing with an Endeavor somewhere else in the park isn't an awful idea.
-We need to get used to coaster droughts. We have 11 adult sized coasters plus 2 kiddie creds including several world class rides and one of a kind stuff. Amusement parks don't make cash hand over fist like they used too and many parks have full ride line ups. Let's just be thankful we're not a Cedar Fair park.
Over the past nine years, this has been our new additions:
-The Dark Knight (2008) -Buccaneer Battle (2009) -Little Dipper (2010) -Riptide Bay (2011) -X-Flight (2012) -Ignite: Grand Finale (2013) -Goliath (2014) -Hometown Park (2015) -Justice League (2016)
In these nine years, we've received 4 coasters, a world-class dark ride, a water ride, a water park expansion, a kiddie area, and a show.
What's missing from that list? Thrilling flat rides. Though I think free spins are great and all (although short), I think we could use a flat ride expansion. And I'm sticking with it.
American Eagle does not need to come down for another coaster. We've talked about this - IF the park wanted a giga coaster (which would be incredible but sadly sooooo doubtful) they could put it over & around existing structures. Go on your maps & look up Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia or a park called Gröna Lund. Prime examples of making a great yet odd use of space

AGREED about Eagle. You all helped me see the light on that issue! And it really is still a great ride.
Single Day Ride Count Record
50 rides 8/17/2018 (Without Flash Pass - Coasters After Dark)
I know people think that every park will eventually get a Superloop because that's their new thing, and that may well be true, but at one point they kept putting in SkyScreamers and then stopped, so you never know.

Were getting a superloop and best case is it comes with 2 more rides like Fiestain 2016, They also got Hurricane Force 5 and Spin City. Georgia in 2015 the superloop came with Harley Quinn. Don;t want to be the parks that only got superloop alone which has been 3 of the 4 parks per yr, as they have added 4 superloop each year. They are going to put a superloop in every park, 4 more this year is expected.
Oh boy. Where do I start? - You do not know we are getting a Superloop, you believe we are. Instead, say: I believe we are getting a Superloop. - You believe every park is getting a Superloop, you don't know. - You expect four more this year, if someone of notable status says they expect four more: Quote them. - Also, please review your post before posting it.

SFNE 4D is confirmed 100%. The plans were leaked in a town board meeting when they sought approval for it. It's the same notes from town board meeting that has confirmed Over Georgia and Adventure are getting Justice Leagues.
Maybe confirmed 99%. It is possible that plans can change between the town meeting and the actual announcement (like us and Chang) or even changes after the announcement (which has happened a few times, particularly a few name changes at SFGAd and I think SFNE started building The Dark Knight and had to tear it down due to a zoning thing). So, yes, overwhelmingly likely but strange things happen sometimes.

I don't know if this was asked already but if the 2017 ride is a free spin wouldn't that have required an approval like SFNE and as far as I know we haven't seen any requests from the park for a new ride. If this is the case then I'm joining the flat ride bus.

Yeah, I said I wasn't going to look on the forum, but I saw what Marcus said, and now I'm pretty excited. Since it's coming today, get ready to find the little hints in the sneak peek
If its mentioning ERC, that means something is going in that spot, we know that for sure. If things are moving all around, it could easily mean like a Zamperla Endeavor, or the flipping of the 4D free spin. No idea what meltdown and "wicked future" means, though. Can someone analyze the picture and see if you can find anything suspicious?
EDIT: Whats weird is that we have no video on youtube, at least not yet. Every year for the past couple years we've had at least one video. Does this mean something?

The half pipe skateboard coaster would fit the clue.
Who makes the biggest one of those since just a halfpipe seems to be too small for that area.
Would they put in a coaster like the one at SFSTL? That would fit also.
