I would be very happy if we did. :wink:

I would cry if we got one. Not the true nature of wooden coasters.

B&M has been pushing a Dive Machine on SFGAm for nearly the past decade(since before Obliveon was built), there is no reason the park would stop saying denying B&M on that now.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping

May I say that that may have arugably been one of the most obsolete posts in a short while. No one has a clear vision of what is going to be there next year wheter it be the Whizzer or Something Else. No one, except possibly Sevart knows. Now as for the topic I am amazed it hasn't been locked however, i'll leave the modding to the mods.

Are you sure that NO ONE knows. So that means that the mechaincs dont know, the leads dont know, the ride-ops, or how about those people that have inside sources, they dont know either. I am sure some people on these boards know what is going on next year and are just keeping quiet.

i know there are people who do know, so you can't really say that nobody knows. I know several people who know what is going, and what is being removed. I even know it. I'm just not going to say anything.

I'll never tell....

That is good! People who do know what's going to happen, do what this
person is doing and NOT tell. Don't even give hints. Plus the only people

that really should know the information about 2006, should only be
employees. And if they're going around telling people what is going to
happen, they shouldn't be doing that.

Information about 2006 isn't for us, the General Public, Season pass
holders and enthuiests, to know until Six Flags makes the official
announcement. I do say thank you to those of you who do know what
will happen, who are keeping your mouths shut.

And it all comes down to one source. are you really willing to say that your sure you know, when it all comes down to one source? the little mini rumor going around could be deriven from one employee that doesnt know what hes talking about/is just telling you guys this andis laughing at you now.

What's the big deal with parks keeping secrets anyway? When I saw the SUF track when it was in the back, don't you think I was thrilled? If the construction crews started earlier, maybe they would finish the rides on time!!!! Its okay to take ERC, Condor, and TP a month earlier (October), but its not okay to start some construction on a new ride? Shockwave, Power Dive, and Cajun Cliffhanger were all dead in the water October.

Parts of HH, KC, RC, BEB, D Vu', and V2 were not open on opening day. I don't remember if SUF was open. HH's opening day didn't have the MAIN attraction open either. The thing is that since May isn't as packed as the other months, the park doesn't have to rush to get the rides open.

S:UF was open on opening day in 2003. Everything else since Bull has opened anywhere from late to EXTREMELY late in the case of Deja. If we are indeed getting a major attraction, I hope they start early.

First, you really dont need to know who and what the sources are cause of obvious reasons. Second, even if we told you, you probably wouldnt believe any of it. Lastly, I dont think that all the Six Flags Great America employees would lie about something, since most of them know that it is true.

Do I need to give out anymore clues than I have given before, I have given plenty of clues, but you have to find them and figure them out. Plus, what B&Mguy said is 100% true.

Well, if you dont believe any of these, fine dont. I cant make you believe any of it until the park announces all of it. Just be ready to be surprised.

First of all, I have a couple extremly reliable and proven sources. All of them agree that nothing is laid in stone for next year yet.


Im pretty positive I know who your sources are, and I gaurantee their not proven.

i really hope we get a new coaster next year... and if we do i hope its not something like kingda ka bc we need a coaster that is reliable...

also i think that iron wolf needs a new name because red doesnt suit the name and iron wolf doesnt make sense either...

maybe we can get a 4D coaster or a floorless coaster...that would be sweet

Don't count on anything like Kingda Ka. SFGAm can't build anything over the height of Sky Trek Tower.

Hopefully we do get a 4D or Floorless. Remember, B&M loves SFGAm. SFGAm got the first B&M ever, the first B&M hyper twister, and the first B&M invert. Anything could happen.

Hmmm,
Noticed something today.......
If they were planning on taking down the Whizzer, then would they have installed the new fast lane pass system on it?


Just wondering?
