Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
All I want is inversions it's still a shock to the system to think at one time we lead the industry with inversions. With rumors flying about a Cedar Point B@M Flying Costor Sad Superman will be even sadder. Cookie cutting Costers is not a good idea.

I have a feeling if Cedar Point puts in a flyer . . . for some reason I'm thinking it's going to be the tallest, fastest, with the most inversions. Just a hunch . . .

Yeah actually we do, know how high supports can go for a ride, and thats pretty high, but not practical at all.

Bigger deeper footers enables bigger supports.

i know but if you put the deepers pretty deep what is the limit for how high a ride can be

But while supports can go as high as any coaster would want them to, you have to think about the space a lift hill would require

They will keep going until they've hit the g-force max. and run out of cement.
Either Cp or SFMM will have the highest and tallest for the rest of time.

B&M Floorless Wanter, just chill out. I think your questions are going to take about 5 years to answer, so no use asking 5 times.

Yaeh seriously - I think Dick Kinzel or someone at SFMM might have a hunch, but nothing is built yet so no one really knows. Give it time - it's the magic of the offseason and waiting for next year. Also, the quote of all engineers "Before you go up, you must first go down". That means, before you build a 100 foot lift hill, you must first build down into the ground. When I said the most inversions early, I must clarify what I said. It would probably be the flying coaster with the most inversions - I don't think CP is going to top Colossos.
