Were will shockwave turn up?
Holiday world has two of the best wooden coasters around. Their not just going to throw in a steel coaster that isnt that great. They would rather build a new ride
But Magic Mountain doesn't have Tidal Wave! (Definatly wouldn't mind trading them for Scream or X though) Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
Maybe not, but it's better than no steel at all. What's wrong with Shockwave? Maybe not the best, but to the GP, it's a good, impressive looking, giant looper. What do you think HW would build? How about Visionland? 
HW could use it.
No they couldn't.
I couldn't agree more. Holiday World is a family friendly park.. a ride like Shockwave has no place there. A 7 looping 170 foot coaster is not exactly what they are looking for. Track Record - 330something

Being an employee doesn't mean anything, haha. But what you heard is most likely true. Where do you work? Don't post it here though, PM me please. Track Record - 330something

It is being held in their parking lot. **Correction** It is being held in Six Flags Marine World's parking lot. Sorry.
SFMM has Tidal Wave, it's a Shoot the Chute.
Anyone that rides a 58MPH, 113ft drop, spiral drop, double helix, top rated woody would probably be interested in riding a 7 loop, 170ft coaster.
Alright I think were pretty sure that Holiday World is not getting it (actually it's one of the stupidest things ive ever heard), so lets just drop it.
400+ rides on Demon, and in a little over a year, is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
Alright fine, you keep hoping for ShockWave to end up at Holiday World cause they need it so much maybe someday your wish will come true
 .
Probably not, but hey it's just a discussion. It's not like whatever is said here the parks will use as a basis for their ride additions.
Ok if any park would recieve Shockwave it would be one of the Six Flags Parks. Holiday World has the two best Woodies in the world. They neither have the space or desire to put a a huge 16 year old steel monster. They are not that type of park and never will be. Besides if they get a new coaster it will most likely be wooden. But recently they are expanding their great waterpark. And if you would pay attention to the park they are clearling land so that Splashing Safari can expand for some time. Its not in their best intrest to add a huge arrow headache coaster to their family friendly park.
Shockwave would go to a park outside SF if they paid the right amount of money for it.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer? No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
Riiiiiight... have you even been to Holiday World? Track Record - 330something

ShockWave isn't all mighty god coaster, i'm sure lots of parks would rather look into newer versions of looping coasters rather than a 15 year old ride that was real unpopular that people didnt like.

Give it a new coat paint.would look new enough for me!
Yeah, B&M and Intamin kinda run the steel coaster world now. Arrows are extremely outdated, and a nightmare for repairs. Track Record - 330something

S and S probably has something up their sleves. They are not just going to sit there and not have any buissness.
Stop squabbling over the rollercoaster. It will go when it is sold to whoever buys it. I can only hope it goes overseas so I never have to see it again. If it was really that desired, something would of been done to it allready.
me and some friends of mine have been bombarding "magic springs" down here in ark. to try and buy it from 6 flags. we know it won't happen since they just built a vekoma slc this year and sf will most likely keep it to put in another park. but we can hope. people up there may not like it. but people here in ark don't have a lot to ride in state. but it is a little better since they built the slc.
some good 6 flags parks where it could go and that need coasters are: SFFT, SFNO, SFKK, or Frontier City. a ride like that could really do those parks some good. all except SFFT because they already have a few excellent coasters!

SFKK is out of the question, SFKK's height limit and space constraints prevents Shockwave from ever coming there.
I suspect it may end up at either SFFT, or SFNO, I think SFNO needs it more, but they did just get a bunch of new stuff. Licensed Mechanical Engineer
yeah, i forgot about SFKK's height restriction. but SFNO or Frontier City could use it. SF really needs to do something with FC. i mean it is THEIR home park. you would think they would want it to be as nice as possible. it's so crappy it doesn't even carry the SF name (i think the real reason it doesn't carry the SF name is because it is all themed to one theme, not 6 like SF are
