^YES!!!! LMAO

THAT FIRST DROP MAKES ME FEEL IMMORTAL! WOW!!!!!!!! cstrfrk67 Thank you for the pictures. The first drop (H#LL the whole ride) slithers back and forth like a real snake.

Again, I said Boss' layout is great as it, BUT! a Iron Horse treatment would further enhance that great layout. It has a lot to work with. Whether you agree or not, I'm pretty sure the park would go for Iron Horse over topper track simply because they will get a sure return on their investment because they can market it as a new ride with the Iron Horse treatment like SFOT and SFFT. The Topper Track would basically keep the ride the same, so how would they excite the general population. SFNE did a complete topper track re-do of thunderbolt but you didnt hear them market that in their ads. The public wouldn't be sold on the idea that its "new". However, the Iron Horse treatment as seen with NTAG, and as will be seen with IRAT, will more than likely be a profitable makeover because they can change the stats about the ride (steeper drops, possible taller drop, faster speed, crazy overbanks) and make it marketable. Lastly, as I said before it would be great for a 1, 2, 3 punch (Mr Freeze Reverse Blast, Boomerang, Boss (Iron Horse). Topper Track would not have the same appeal. Yes to us enthusiast it would! However, at the same time, us enthusiast along with the general public would all flock to an Iron Horse Re-do of the Boss.

I think if Boss got The Iron Horse Treatment... It would be a great thing! Albeit that the rides layout is great as is, it unfortunately doesn't ride the way it should/could/used to. The park has two other wooden coasters... one classic out and back woody and a wooden twister coaster. Given that I think its ok for them to turn Boss into a Hybrid. More on the Boss (Possible Iron Horse treatment) this would be simply amazing. The ride's layout has so much greatness already in it that RMC can work with. Take the first drop for instance. They would likely make it a 80+ degree drop, but remember, this first drop is unique in that it's a double down. Imagine, the train screaming down a steep drop followed by the airtime you would get on the double down portion taken at full speed. All the turn arounds could become, Hammerheads (100+ degree banked turnarounds) a la KI's DiamondBack turnaround or CW's Behemoth turnaround (A potential first for a RMC Iron Horse coaster). The coaster has a mid-course brake run so they could run three trains. (But imagine is they turned that mid-course straight away into a jo-jo roll into the drop that follows) As Charlie sheen would say... WINNING! The series of bunny hills on the way back arcross the rides landscape into the helix area would be full of airtime opportunties. Boss' Helix has always been talked about with regards the laterals that it pulls. I could see them taking the opportunity to give a nod back to one of Boss' signature elements or going a different route and making this a 90 degree banked double helix followed by more airtime hills into the brake run. Seriously! This would be a great thing for SFStL... plus it would be like a 1,2,3 punch for the park... Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast 2012, Boomerang, 2013, and The Boss (Iron Horse) 2014.

Came across these

Top 5 intamin with NTAG immediately after or actually among the top 5. Who knows though.. I couldn't vote for NTAG because I have not ridden it... all I know is I want I305 for the win. I am really pulling for it!!!

INTIMIDATOR 305!!!

HUGE KEYHOLE TOWER

The park tweeted a cool photo of Goliath in the snow. In addition, ground work is underway for Bonzai Pipelines. (Photos courtesy of SFNE facebook/twitter)

Yes that too, but just stating what other coaster has used the exact same color scheme. I like it!

So basically its the exact same colors as Joker's Jinx at SFA

You must remember that for GCG, the foundation was pre-built in 2008 for TDKC and thus SFNE did not have to do any significant foundation prep-work. SFSTL has had to excavate. While not, trying to justify a june opening .... I think Gatekeeper would be a much better example in this case than a cross comparison to SFNE. Even with that example, CP started deconstruction earlier. However, fret not, I'm sure Boomerang will be open before Full Throttle.

If Golden Horse even tries to rip off the Vekoma Stingray... God be with the riders. I will not be one of them.

Glad to see the an actually photo. Shows proof of how fast this ride has gone up. Almost Looks like DejaVu colors on the joker.

According to montanarusa.comThe Joker has has gone up rather quickly and should be complete today. There is an image they have been using to update the progress of vertical construction. Still no actual photos though.

Let the drum roll begin...... Today is the day.

Those are massive!

This news is very interesting to me but can anyone provide me with more clarification. The 500 mil USD investment will be over a certain amount of years or is this all upfront? Is six flags going to own and be the operator of the park? In Dubai, was the deal for Six flags to kind of lease its name to the development but not be the actual operator? Is this an actual done deal? Or is this just an announcement similar the paramount park in Murica that didn't have all its financing together and hasn't come to fruition yet?

Sky Scrapper (Starry Night Ripper) - From the reviews this 540 roll is both unique and amazing.

WOW... I won't be able to ride this ride either... Florida is closing shutting down all these major rides the same time I'm traveling there.

SFMM needs to take notes!

Awww Man!
