I don't know if it is or isn't, but maybe we can stop throwing around accusations like that until this new account does something? He's being reasonable at the moment, and I think it's best to just accept that than to start a witch hunt and have it turn out like yesterday...

I don't get any of the hate for us getting a 4D. First off, 4D rides are very fun, carnival tech or not. Secondly, it would be unlike any other ride at the park. Lastly, their GP magnets. Non enthusiasts will eat this ride up

It's been fun but I'm officially bowing out of the thread until the announcement. I'll be back to talk about the new ride.

X2 is fun..4D free spin not fun.

1)It doesn't even flip much dependent on your seat location.
2) Tt's slow like 35mph- speed of kids coaster
3)No drops like a real coaster and many other features of real coaster...calling it a coaster at all is dubious
4)Other things the park needs
5)save our spot in SF coaster line for a real coaster...launch, etc..

you under stand using your logic the flumes are a coaster Yankee clipper hits 38 mph at the bottom of the drop. and since when does speed make a coaster blazing fury doesn't go fast or have any major drops and people love it

I said I was out but I guess I lied.

Screamscape says SFA is getting a ride called Wondereoman Lasso of Truth. Do you think they are sending orbit there?

Maybe they're thinking some of SFGAm's "greatness" will rub off on SFA if they keep moving our rides there.

This is probably not true because SFDK is also getting a Wonderwoman Lasso of Truth.

Okay now I'm bowing out of the thread.

Discover Kingdom has the same rumor so maybe not. There's a Round Up at SFMM that is called Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth. Could we be seeing two Rounds Ups? So Screamscape has no new rumors for us I see, darn I was hoping for something before tomorrow. At least the Joker name thing we found out about yesterday.

Orbit's really old, and I think somebody said the park confirmed at an ACE event that it was done totally. And giving a park, even SFA, a 40 year old flat ride would be pretty low...

Maybe flip it and/or use some of the Batman overflow queue?

Try re reading, in no way can what I said make Flumes a coaster. You're enamored by the great marketing of S&S that these 4D flippers are coasters. I get it. They have marketed well. The ride is blah....jazzed up carnival flip ride.

That could be a name for Zamperla Endeavor instead of Catwoman Whip they used at OT

Wonder Woman movie is coming out, Catwoman movie isn't, so makes sense.

Maybe SF HQ is over their Larson loop phase and are going to start adding Endeavors to more parks. They seem to be into those spin sanity named rides too lately. Them adding so many superloops, 8 in 2 years, might have been a volume discount. Maybe we will miss the superloop phase.

Sooo I had a dream about what the SF parks were getting. My favorite one was SFOT - a "Déjà Vu" Vekoma giant inverted boomerang. But like 250ft tall. Lol

For us? All that 4D talk translated in dreamland to Pictoruim revamped as a 4D/5D theatre with high tech moveable red & black loungers. Haha! It looked really nice butttt not what anyone was thinking. Then I got my phone taken away for taking pics of the posters cause I was leaking early info before the announcement. Pretty great.

That sounds like a big coaster name....Titan. They haven't got one in 6 yrs so would make sense.

So it seems by leaks and hints:

OG - Justice League
Gadv Justice League
NE - 4D
DK - Wonder woman Lasso named ride - maybe a Zamperla Endeavor
AM - Wonder woman Lasso named ride - maybe a Zamperla Endeavor
Laronde -- Titan - maybe a roller coaster
Fiesta -- something off the quarry cliff..hinting at a big ride maybe coaster, wouldn't put a flat on cliff
Stl -- spinsanity and DiscO

"New for 2017 at La Ronde: Its the most underwhelming attraction in the parks history! Titan looping coaster! You've seen the fireball, now ride the Titan. Swing upside down, forward and backward again and again! Titan, new for 2017 at La Ronde."
