Honestly while I will be happy that Great Adventure will be getting a new coaster (apparently) this year, I think what this park needs most is fully themed areas with one or two coasters and flats. This is what I feel Six Flags could best spend their money on. The Golden Kingdom is very nice theming for a six flags park, but it has a major lack of rides. Plaza Del Carnival is missing flats but is also well done. If they revamped Rolling Thunder, re opened Tango and found a spot for one more flat, this would hands down be the best area of the park. The Frontier area needs a new giant teepee, a flat or two and a general spruce up and addition of more themeing. Movie town should be expanded into the Old Country and become a fully themed gotham city. Re-open the Batman Stunt Arena, open a new coaster and open the flats. Put the "5d" attraction in the old chiller station. Then take the kiddy rides next to Congo Rapids and move them near the treasure train and open a pirate themed kiddie area there. That would fill a very empty area (in terms of rides) and then the newly opened up land, Nitro, and congo rapids could be re-themed creating a new thrill type area that would flow and include two rides that really have no theme. Plus an intamin mega-lite could have it's station in that area and run on the land behind rides like skull mountain. There is a sliver of land back there that could be used very nicely (similar to goliath in Belgium). What do you think?

Hahah I'm wondering when this whole Intamin cable failure stuff will blow over, but for now it is still too funny

I feel as though Holiday World has really been putting this project on the back burner since the tragic loss of Mr. Koch and I really don't blame them. I hope they will be ready soon for the sake of everyone, but if the cars are either dangerous or not running correctly I agree with them working on them longer.

^Watch that happen & GADV get a X2 clone
If Great Adventure got an X2 clone (or any 4d for that matter) I would seriously crap my pants. That could be the greatest thing to ever happen to Great Adventure, up there with El Toro in my opinion.

Does anybody think that they will anounce the profile of the track or will they just let us wait till they complete it?

This is a question for SFA regulars, if Six Flags was to send GASM to your park would you take that as a good addition or would you be pissed about the fact that your getting a twenty year old ride?

I can't believe it's finally official I am so excited for this ride to leave. Even though great adventure has 13 coasters only six of them are really enjoyable rides. Rolling Thunder could be good if they took care of it. If they get a ride to replace scream machine and GCI revamps Rolling Thunder that would bring them up to eight which would help mightily with the lines. The lines on the good rides here are so long because there is very little between the big rides and The Dark Knight for people to ride and enjoy.

Also if you noticed, RCDB has now given us a name for the ride: Speed Car

I found it entertaining that Great Adventure posted a picture of GASM on Facebook saying "I guess that rumored closing date was wrong "

I honestly don't see why S&S is not more popular with US themeparks, they are based out of the midwest and they make insanely fun looking coasters. Sure they've had problems in the past, but right now they are making, in my opinion, the most unique coasters.

Besides X2, which everyone already knows about, what roller coaster do you think is worth it's own commercial? Just curious
-
Thank you for the pictures!!!! Holy crap this thing is going to be absolutely amazing!!!

Is the Timberliner project still a go, or is it on an indefinite hold for right now. Sorry if that seems insensitive but I am curious about what is going on with the project.
-
I have a random question here that's been bothering me for a few years. Why did Magic Mountain close the monorail and if they are not going to re-open it, why is it still standing? Also I had heard a few years ago they were planning on re-opening it, what happened to that plan?
-
The more I look at the pictures, the more I feel that this coaster will ride in that little groove on the inside of the track. If that's the case, would this coaster ride on just one wheel or a modification of the standard 3 wheel set-up?
-
I was just about to write that exact thing. I saw that video and noticed the lack of GASM and the use of a half second clip of Chang. I think GADV let the cat out of the bag a little early

That news is very disappointing. At least they are doing the right thing by alerting us on the status of the ride regularly unlike other parks (cough! knoebels)
