If Screamscape is right on the name leaks, it appears Zamperla Endeavors are going to Am and DK. Corporate could be over their loop craze and now are adding a bunch of Endeavors. OT got one in 2016 and I think someone got one in 2015.

isn't that over the 125 ft height limit that requires approval tho?

They've changed the limits to be 200 in areas not near houses (I don't remember the exact distances).


Superloops are not even close to the limit, they are about 75ft high

If the attraction is 500 feet away from a residential area 200 feet is the limit before having to get an approval.

I'm done with those guys. They actually posted a link yesterday as "Cedar Point New Coaster Rumor" then it was a one liner saying "2020 is the parks 100th... so why not a new coaster!"

At one or they were saying an RMC makeover for ROAR!

I'd love to see a sky rocket ii. I'd want 3 car trains like pasta (Taylor reference) restraints like superman at dk, and a dual loading platform and 2 times arounnd its circuit, like zombie ride

Anyone else figure out what the other link was? I've tried Mr. Freeze, Riddler, and just about every other villain, but nothing will come up

Looked through the site code again today. "Joker" was removed from the URL I mentioned yesterday but the same two "0" images are still there.

Only time will tell.

Nope, this won't work. Only recent rides will appear. You can use Chrome>Inspect to see the the list of rides. Orbit is still there :D

Here's what the long list of rides looks like under the Inspect menu.

Just pointing this out: Six Flags New England already has a Joker themed ride. Their 4D free spin will NOT be joker themed. Just keep it in mind.

But I typed it in on their site and it said access denied... Maybe they'll retheme the Joker's Wild Card

We have Batman and The Dark Knight (which is a nickname for Batman)...

(And for that matter, Justice League, of which Batman is a member...)

True, but none of them have the same words, unlike Jokers wild card and the joker. Referencing is okay.

I swear... Check the cached page

Anyways, they rethemed their floorless for one season when they thought they were getting TDK, so maybe they'll do the same

REAL TALK: Does any one thing we'll get a better pic of JRA this year than this gem from last year?

John Duffey is the president and CEO. JRA remains as chairman, so prepare for more of his amazing wisdom

I didn't edit it this time

The word "launched" appears in one of the URLS while inspecting the page

Have a look for yourself. It may just be something relating to the link, but idk.

nah, seeing as it's under the network tab it most likely has something to do with loading a plugin, like flash, java, etc.

Well that's not what I was expecting Titan to be. I was expecting it to be a SuperLoop.
