  1. 60 feet tall? An RMC family coaster? Why not. Imagine a launched family rmc coaster in New France? Sort of like Busch's take on Fire Chaser.
  2. If we are talking family coasters, I wonder if RMC would ever consider doing one
  3. I don't need a record breaking coaster. I would just love for something unique.
  4. I really hope it's not just a clone of Cobra's Curse as I don't want to see the Busch parks just become clones of each other. I really like how they have difference attractions and unique experiences at each park. I don't mind the Griffon/Sheikra and Montu/Alpengeist crossovers as those are world class coasters, but I would hate to see more clones and have the Busch parks become like Six Flags. I don't think this will happen. But I agree. Busch has done a great job of adding sister attractions with different flavors over the years. Kumba/Drachen Fire, Montu/Alpinegiest, Griffin Sheikra, Cheetah Hunt/ Verbolten
  5. I just don't believe this will be a sister spinner coaster to Cobra's Curse at BGT. I don't see why they would start advertising a project of that size a year in advance. I do think the coaster will be around 60 feet tall but use the terrain that will make it way larger, sort of like Boulder Dash.
  6. Like more bathroom renovations? It is getting interesting. I heard the new B&M bathroom prototype is legit.
  7. I think we could be looking at one of the better B&M hypers here once its all said and done. It definitely has one of the better hyper layouts from B&M in recent memory.
  8. Oh hell yes please. I accept my adrenaline-fueled trip to the grave with open arms.
  9. Well at least now Cyclone and Thunderbolt are somewhat included in the wristband deal. This makes it finally worth purchasing. Great having Coney Island 10 minutes away from home.
  10. I was thinking that perhaps Kings Dominion would decide to give I305 buzz bar restraint to attract more riders/bring in more families.
  11. ^ I agree with the idea that we may see the expansion of a few new things dining, dark ride etc with it being anchored by a family coaster. Althought a brand new big coaster would be awesome, I wouldn't this either.
  12. Perhaps a pre-ride show building that features Mounties being chased by a Wendigo.
  13. Folks on other fan sites (That I am forbidden from mentioning due to this sites policies) seem to be saying the new ride will be located behind Alpie and Le Scoot in New France. Hmmm, we could be looking at 'Killer Moose: The Ride!"
  14. The parks instagram account dropped another clue a few minutes ago. Seems to me something with the Pocohonta's Trail. Very interesting.
  15. Its really crazy how much this area already looks different without the stadium.
  16. There have a ton of issues historically and presently which affect the brand image of Six Flags. Delaying opening of rides until 2-3 months of the season has passed is not something that positively affects this, I'm fairly certain of that. We can be fairly certain of your dislike of Six Flags and its policies
  17. Six Flags went bankrupt because their attendance nose dived and the brand bordered on toxic. It wasn't some strange and unforeseen series of events that led to that. They ran their parks like crap and people stopped going. The park attendance has been rising every year since 2010. Thats more than half a decade, so please explain that to me.
  18. Looks awesome! Me and some buddies do an annual New England trip consisting of Lake Compounce and SFNE. Can't wait to get some night rides on this and Boulder Dash this year!!
  19. Take it up with park management then, despite what we say they don't care what enthusiast think for the most part. 95% of people on here disagree with what Six Flags does a majority of the time. But will Six Flags change their ways? No. The general public doesn't care or notice when rides should/shouldn't open. You don't think the general public notices? Six Flags went bankrupt in recent memory, shed most of its parks and ended up permanently closing two (nearly a third) either attempting to delay the inevitable or in the immediate wake of filing Chapter 11. They've presently returned to their prior strategy of giving away season passes to try and increase per cap spending but refined that previous failed strategy by matching it with a "don't spend much" approach based around ride rotation, flat ride construction, mass purchases, and heavily promoted ride rehabs. So yeah, I'm not terribly concerned about taking it up with management. I'm sure plenty have and will. Exactly my point. How many people you think actually knew Six Flags went bankrupt? I'll wager that a large amount of the GP doesn't know that. They don't pay attention to that, most people I know who are GP don't even know there is a Six Flags outside of Great Adventure and Magic Mountain.
  20. The three main countries that stand out in my mind if they were to add one would be Spain, Russia and Greece.
  21. I wouldn't be so quick to say that for sure. Virtually everyone I know thinks of Six Flags as having a bad reputation, and that comes through a combination of long slow-moving lines, poor operations, and smaller things like the new ride you were excited for not being open. And I don't believe for a second that reputation is incapable of impacting their bottom line. How much it impacts it none of us can even begin to guess because we don't have all the numbers in front of us but it stands to reason. Sure they might be the biggest game in town, but give your costumers a lackluster experience enough times and they'll decide amusement parks in general aren't worth it and find something else to do with their summer days. The park will still have one of the highest attedences of any park in the country. It sits between Philly and New York, Dorney isn't going to pull people away from Gadv and Hershey isn't exactly a day trip from that distance.

But will Six Flags change their ways? No. The general public doesn't care or notice when rides should/shouldn't open. Why does everyone here think the GP are some kind of zombie horde that doesn't care about anything? Tons of people are excited about the new ride. If it opens late, tons of people will go in the spring and be disappointed. It's a bad way to operate and that's why none of their competitors operate that way. The point is that sure they'll be excited and maybe be disappointed the coaster isn't opening with the park, but that won't stop them from visiting so it makes no difference.
