I couldn't see where Shockwave would even fit in SFStL. Thats a park that could really use a floorless or hyper or something.... the last thing in the world they need is shockwave.
A hyper or floorless would most likey take up more room then Shockwave.
A floorless like Crazy Flying Coaster or Batman Dark Knight wouldn't be much larger than Batman The Ride. Also, though a hyper would take up much more room, they generally don't take up a very wide strip of land, unless they are twisters, and there aren't many of those. Even a giga can sit on a small piece of land, Steel Dragon 2000 basically is a sliver of land except at the two ends.
Yeah right Shockwave's layout is huge compared to BDK
when you get off of Superman....you can see a huge area where the rollercoaster didnt expand(but where shockwave did)... do you think they'll put anything there, or just leave it???

There not going to put anything else there. They won't want to make a walk way to it.
Yeah, good point. I hope SW gets installed somewhere in the next two years. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they got it somewhere else and did some major work on it.
What do you mean by majior work. Do you mean like changing the seats or making it smother. I guess ether would be nice

New trains are not going to make a difference. The transitions was half the reason it was rough and that arrow at that time didn't use your heartline as the middle of an inversion they just simply used the center of the train. I guess may be new trains would make somewhat of a difference.
I know FOR A FACT where ShockWave is going. It's already there. My room.OK, its just a bolt from ShockWave, but I love it.
Yes.
Thats cool. When did you pick it up?
Where did you get it from, i would kill for a piece of my favorite steel arow ride!!!!

I don't now for sure, but I saw a big blue and white bolt when I was walking in to the park one day. Don't now if it was actually a peice thougth. ( I'm so mad at my self for not picking it up.
 ) But it mit of been nothing. Oh wellSix flags freak
Whether Shockwave will turn up at another park or not, fifteen years ago today Shockwave opened up at SFGAm.
That would of been cool to see it on opening day. Not that it would look any diffrent or any thing. Just the new ristraints and new breaks and every thing NEW. I think that would be pretty sweet

It would be new, and the world's tallest, fastest, loopiest, and craziest ride ever concived! No park in the world would be bold enough to surpass it! It would be to insane! Unless, of course, it was another Six Flags park, which added 5 feet to it's lift, and switched which way the second and third loop flip! I wonder what people thought of it back then. It had to have been rough, the transitions never changed over the years, obviously, so it gave the same brutal ride. I just wonder if people had higher tollerance for it then, and didn't complain, or if they lined up anyways even though they hurt all over.
People didn't know about B&Ms, and most steel coasters were much smoother than wooden coasters.
B&M wasnt around back in 88'. When wood coasters open they are pretty smooth. After a few years they start getting rough. That pretty much happens to every coaster.

Im guessing the B&M company was around in 88' but they were designing IW. Their first coaster was IW and that was built in 90'.

Yeah, it's quite possible they would have been around in 1988, or even earlier. Gravity Group hasn't built anything yet, but they exist, don't they? Plus, a new coaster doesn't pop up the same moment a company forms.
Gravity Group? Ive never heard of them before. How long have they been around?

Shockwave isnt goin to MM or anywhere youd expect. its being moved to six flags new orleans where the cars and the track will be updated. it will be built in the 2004-2005 offseason.
is this another rumor or what?
