Schoup, I was gonna ask you to show yourself since you seem to love hiding behind the screen making insults to my friends here but I decided to save myself the time in asking since we'd all be seeing a piece of shit.

Surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to put a lame Larson loop right next to the excellent first looping inverted coaster, right?

^^ The pic on Facebook does. ;)

^ERC is moving to Orbit's spot, and the new ride(s) are going in ERC, JWR, and RC's spots supposedly.

Yes to the Endeavour, Free Spin and even the SuperLoop. I'm not sure if we're getting the Giant Discovery in 2017 though. If we were you would think they would of announced a closing day for Revolution because I would imagine that's where the Discovery would go.

If they didn't announce a closing for Orbit, an original ride, why would they bother doing one for Revolution? I also find it strange that so many people keep mentioning ride locations other than ERC/RC, it seems very clear that it'll be there, especially after today's post.

The "inversions" is an interesting find (if it's real?). Honestly I hope it's not a 4D because 1) I would rather have something like X2 and 2) I hope SFGAm has a "smaller" year for a bigger 2018 ride, something more complete than a 4D. For a "smaller" year, hopefully a flat or two.

^^^ Your right about that but I still don't think we're going to see the Giant Discovery until 2018.

Not necessarily, the giant Discovery/Frisbee and low angle Huss Revolution achieve separate things. Huss low angle frisbees like Revolution are all about the speed of rotation and positive Gs into the seat. High angle giant Discover/frisbees rotate quite slowly only to give the changing views at the high altitudes. If the spinning were too fast in the outward facing frisbees, riders would be painfully forced outward into the OTSRs.

Well I guess I wouldn't mind have two Frisbees. After all Revolution is my favorite flat at the park and I really don't want to see it go but I won't be shocked at all if Rev. is replaced by a Discovey at some point.

I just realized that. Apparently RollingCoasting faked it.

After some thinking, I don't think we'll be receiving a Zamperla Endeavour in East River Crawler's spot. Obviously it could have just been placed in Orbit's spot(Unless the park wanted it to be part of a new area, but they could've simply just rethemed East River Crawler) so this means they are clearing the space for something large. Something that simply couldn't fit in Orbit's location. This also backs up the reasoning behind Jester's Wild Ride being removed as well.

I think a Disk'O Coaster will be filling up the soon-to-be vacant spots of East River Crawler and Jester's Wild Ride, IF NOT, a Free-Spin coaster. Maybe we'll see a medium sized flat in Cajun's spot in addition to this. Hopefully

I definitely think a Free-Spin is a possibility

Someone mentioned that V2 gifts had only V2 Clearance merchandise. I think it's possible that they're going to use JWR / ERC space for a path, and that they're going to build a launch coaster stretching from V2 and the unused harbor space, right by Yankee Clipper, and on to RC's old spot. It's a longshot, but I think the reason they're tearing out those rides is to make path space.

Maybe. It would fit in with the "moving around" thing and Premier Launch Coasters can be under 10 million...

I was thinking part of the picnic area would be taken out and either RC's spot or the flumes would have the majority of the coaster and the station would be in the same area as V2. Seems more likely for 2018 though.
