Lol, it has that 'Scream!'-ness to it. Parking spaces under a coaster = parking lot coaster! It's ok to admit this is what it is, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. -
Or you could do what I did. Since this is southern California you don't have to do just theme parks. I went down there in August for a week and this is what I did: Monday - rest after 6 hour drive Tuesday - SFMM just for this one day, usually we go here multiple times but I really just wanted to go to ride Revolution and Lex (plus the other usual suspects) so once was enough Wednesday - Knott's Berry Farm, not really that much further from MM and hadn't been there in 30 years Thursday - Paramount Studio tour and USH, then Knott's again Friday - last day, Warner Bros. studio tour then later that day attended a filming of 'Two and a Half Men' which this particular episode will air this week, this was by far the best part of the trip! So I guess my point is you can complain about the parks in socal if you want, I think I understand why, but there are plenty of other things to do as well I mean seriously- you got Hollywood here! Who doesn't want to check that out?

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! And who constantly pushes and breaks the envelope on innovation pushing the boundaries of design and thrills....... no, NOT B&M.......... Intamin -
I was all for thrills and cramming any kind of thrill coaster into the park that they could. But I see now what all of you are talking about, quality is way more important than quantity. Sure FT will probably be a hit with the GP which is what the park was aiming for, so that's good I guess, but it seems kind of half-assed and incomplete, which lacks the quality of a more thought out and longer ride, such as the Liseberg coaster, which looks amazing and is what should have been put in here or at least something similar. I just hope that now SF gets this thrill stuff out of their system and starts to realize that quality will draw in the crowds just as much if not more than quantity.

Wow choppy water. -
Rumors are just that rumors. But we have to think that Magic mountain announce it's coaster at the end of the summer season. Then came out with get the rest of 2012 and 2013 season passes now for the same price. All other parks announce there coasters for next season at the end of summer. Knott's have there get the rest of 2012 and 2013 season price for the same price also.....But they did not announce a coaster. Employee are taking about a new themed area with flat rides. To what benefit is it for Knott's season ticket sales to NOT announce a coaster like everyone else if they what the season ticket sale. Either it's a winter planed coaster or no major coaster. They lost there chance for a spring/summer coaster season tickets sales. This is not fact...just an opinion. Reading that gave me a headache.
