As I heard a long time ago, when SFGAm got S:UF it was one of the worst kept SF secrets, and if the secret had been known before ground breaking, it would have been cancelled.
By wanting a coaster and telling rumors, you're sometimes hurting your chances of getting one. The last thing PR wants is a stupid ACEr spreading info about a new ride before it is announced since it would most likely spread to many guests and it would hurt attendance for the park during the 1st few weeks of the season. Where if nobody knows and then BAM they announce something new, it would draw more crowds due to the fact that thayd be surprised..

I understand and agree with everything you said, however, i have one question for you. What does it make a difference in the first week's attendance, whether the general public finds out in November or February? Just curious, but i do agree with the cancelling thing.
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
If you can get a large amount of guests who have never visited the park, or have rarely gone, if they like what has improved and what is new for them, they will come back more during the season. If they come in the middle of the season, chances are they wont come back as much. Our season is short, most guests who arent regular visitors wont come more than once a season if that if they didnt enjoy their visit or if they didnt see anything new. And like i said, by a new coaster being leaked somehow to someone who will tell everyone, it will prevent PR from making such a big WOW about a new attraction since people already know about it.

yep, but theres also other reasons.....if your plan were to spread before an actual announcement to the GP, another park could "steal your thunder." Or lets go back to the turbulence incident w/ Hershey's
You know what, I am sorry for ***ching so much about whizzers removal and adding a floorless. I know itll leave sooner than later one day, but it seemed that some of you didnt appreciate it....To me a floorless is worthless because of the amount of coasters we have without floors , and theyre not that much different from sitdowns.
To be quite honest I would absolutley love to receive a higher height restriction by the board increasing it to at least 500-530ft.(seeing were almost there already), and if they were to "sack" the great old whizzer....I would die for a strata with Stormrunner's layout. **the launch would carry underground, then it would rise out near space shuttle completing a 270 degree spin go over the top at 505ft. then drop down into a spinning 360 degree twist. after this it would be back to the direction it dropped in...right were the go karts would be(take em out) then it would do a giganto disk loop but when rolling out of the 2nd inversion it would execute just as Stormrunners cobra loop, then into a larger steeper flying snake dive. After the 4th inversion and this drop, it would rise into the infamous stengal dive(heavily overbanked, more then MF's)....then into the downward brakes.
Theres a way to doing this if they were to do intelligent planning and ideas, trust me. It may be a little difficult, but very doable. That is why the station and launch are underground.
See, there is my proposal for whizzers land, so I should not have complained about your ideas you all had just as I sadly do. I apologize.

I'm going to go to college to become an engineer so I can design roller coasters and hopefully have a sucessful career.
