I also rode Maverick for the first time this Summer, only visited CP prior in 2013, and Maverick is by far my favorite coaster. But if or when SFGAm officials decide to spend $22 million or more on one coaster they will want that coaster to finally be the 80+ mph coaster that the park sorely needs, as after that 2019-2021 addition according to SF's rate of major installations, our park will not see another $15 million or more coaster added until 2026 or later.

Pic? And also, I thought each park had $20 Million every year? (Or was that Cedar Fair? )
Uhhh.... my phone... ummm... runs super... encrypted... software. Yeah... that's the ticket. And I can't do screenshots. Yeah. Can't do them.
Anyways, $10M is all we get this year because we're saving for the world's longest coaster. A B&M giga that stations out of the old Pictorium space and wraps all the way around the park.
It sounds like you got a dictionary, searched up 5 words you think sound intelligent, and started using them in your vocabulary. Do you even know what pretentious means?

I'm not sure what Goliath or JLBFM cost, but management does seem to be willing to spend. I know that most people will decide what park they attend primarily based on proximity, then cost / what their kids want. Knowing this, I doubt that corporate will add something that could compete with Millenium Force or Maverick just to placate people like me. On the other hand, rides with high capacity, and high desirability will lower wait times on other attractions. Since park attendance has been up YOY for some time, you'd think that would bode favorably for a mega attraction, even if we don't get one this year. On the other hand, I think it's obvious that corporate badly wants to expand Holiday in the Park, and having more indoor attractions seems like it would mesh well with that plan. So from an enthusiast perspective, I'm worried that they'll spend on things that improve retention when it rains, and HITP, while resting on their recent roller coaster additions.
Not holding my breath, but it would be nice to see a series of these teasers over the next few days showing some of other things that may be moving and new poems...
Schoup is just some TPR dude that praises Robb and thinks he's the best enthusiast in the world (clearly incorrect) so if we don't listen to him about all of his "intelligent" points and roasts (which are horrible roasts BTW) then were all good. Also, schoup did join yesterday, just because Robb said go target SFGAmworld because his daughter couldn't ride a ride at SFGAm (which is understandable, safety is their number 1 priority). Last thing, we're not full of our self, you're the one that's full of it, and you're also full of shit and speak out of you're asshole (like Hillary and Trump) so feel the Bern

Would you be able to link where Robb was complaining? I love to laugh at the Blobb.

Wait, is this the ass that went on a tirade last year because he someone got his daughter a wristband and she ended up still too short for rides despite this magic wristband so he made up some * story about how rude and awful the staff were to him and his daughter?
Why has this forum become a freaking argument over something so stupid. This is made for fun speculation of what our park could be getting next year...not who can be the biggest smart ass, thinking they now everything that's going on (which no one clearly knows).
