JackGlass - what's a bigger plot: the Flumes total area or Rapids (including all those trees between it and Dark Knight)?
From the looks of it. The Flume area is slightly larger, but not by much.
There was a rumor on Screamscape about a year ago regarding Great Americas "5 year plan" It included a dive machine, a raptor and an Intamin giga on a strip of land along the perimeter of the park.
The dive machine did end up coming true. If the other two were to happen, this is how I think it might play out.
Raptor. Move triple play to Revolutions old spot, Demolish Johnny Rockets and reroute the parade route. They could fit a fairly large custom raptor, similar, but not identical to Jersey Devil in that plot of land running right along the train tracks. Rapids remain untouched
Giga. This is pretty much the only realistic plot of land to build a coaster of that size and it matches the description in the Screamscape rumor.
EDITED - Just to show how large that strip of land is I copied and pasted the American Eagle onto it.
There's no way that thing can go over the railroad, or that there's space enough to dig underneath it like Maxx Force
Raptor is a skinny model. Going over the train tracks wouldn't be an issue at all. Sure, It would have to be a custom layout for our park. But I used Wonder woman from Magic Mountain in this overlay just to show that it is more than doable.
