  1. Hmmm going along with this new development... If Rockville themed area is being changed to Gotham ... could we perhaps be seeing a large scale re-theme with a few new small rides with one large batman attraction... They did say "Flying" a lot... so could the old rumors SFA rumors of Batwing's removal be coming to reality. Granted we have seen no indication that SFA is removing anything (They shouldn't)! IT could also be a Superman Ultimate Flight Clone relocation from another park (but what are the chances of SF relocated a newer B&M). Texas does not have a flying coaster... and Six Flags is no stranger to ride relocation. Batwing does take up much more land than a S&S (free spin or el-loco).. but I'd hope this is a brand new custom flying... I'm sure SFFT pulls in enough money to merit new (non-relocated) rides.

     

    Thoughts?...

  2. ^The reason I am just going to wait for BGWs announcement and try to put at least some kind of faith in BGW ....because having seen how BGT modified Sheikra to a floorless station and trains after Griffon, I think that we could see BGW implement changes for theirs in a similar fashion. I feel as though BGW could indeed build their ride with the dual station idea in mind that the ride could run two trains. However, they may wait until Bosque Magico's attraction opens first before they do so. OR, maybe the plans just include the basics of the ride and not any details as far two stations or what not.

     

    Wishful Thinking!

  3. I'm sticking to my original guess. Six Flags is bringing back a historic ride with a modern twist. All their hints on twitter have had "#ACEOnline" plus the original Rockville Realty announcement mentioned "Division of ACE," and, "History in the making." ACE is dedicated to the preservation to classic or historically significant roller coasters.

     

    But Six Flags isn't- or should I say wasn't- known for taking great care of wood coasters nor are they known for restoring old rides. That ended until their relationship with RMC started, as the refurb of the Rattler is incredible. And so it's no surprise then that Six Flags has hinted, not subtly, about more work with RMC on this ACE historic project. Recall the numerous more recent clues about "wood", "steel", and MK Bozer's announcement of tending to a "snake problem" in Rockville after working on all the other RMC projects.

     

    Whether it's a new layout or not, I don't know, as they could be building a loose recreation of an old ride (like the "Airplane coaster) or, less likely I think, buying something used and retracking it with steel. Now that Six Flags is throwing around the 120' height, the Cycline from SFNE is a possibility.

     

    What's more, having a historic wood coaster fits the Rockville 50's-era theming.

     

    All the clues fit this, do they not? Sure, the park could be deliberately misleading everyone, but what's the point of guessing if one isn't going to at least follow the breadcrumbs presented?

     

     

    SFGAm restored the Little Dipper! As rare and unseen as that was... I'm sure six flags would do it again if they wanted to.

  4. Exactly like I said up there. 7 million isn't crazy for a new coaster. Windseekers cost 6 million and I'm sure this is way better!

     

    7 mil may just be the price of the actual ride hardware itself... not including the cost of installation (shipping, equipment to erect the ride), construction (labor, grading/etc).... so the total investment may actually be much higher.

     

    I think the windseeker price tag, along with many other price figures released by parks are all total investment figures not just the ride.

  5. Worlds first multi-inversion launched wing coaster (since baco only has one inversion). USAs first launched wing rider.

     

    I love the pace that the cars take on the large overbanks.

     

    I wonder if they will have to put something over Voyage where TB crosses over.

     

    Looks like I will be a fan of the left side as it gets one more head chopper than the right.

     

    I love the colors and the theme, especially the station design.

     

    Looks like that path to walk back to this ride will give the path to Batwing at SFA a run for it's money.
