Have no idea how the ball was dropped on this but someone's getting fired lol j/k Somehow SFFT announcement was leaked early and USA Today posted... "Wonder Woman will climb a 113-foot hill, drop about 100 feet straight down at 90-degrees, and hit a top speed of 52 mph. It will include overbanked turns and the free-floating sensation known as airtime. Among its three inversions will be a "180-degree stall", There you have it folks SFFT will be getting the first RMC Raptor http://amp.usatoday.com/story/534583001/

So since SFGADv is getting a worlds first right after Joker I wonder could SFMM be getting one of the record breakers right after JL, Maybe to go up against whatever Knotts is getting???

.

Dive coaster is a never dying rumor it was the hot rumor when perilous plunge was removed and Knotts ended up getting Coastrider. Dive coaster has also been rumored for SFMM for years now, I think it's just coaster enthusiasts wishful thinking since there isn't one on the West coast. Also remember Intamin did just open Flying Aces which has the steepest non vertical cable lift on a coaster. Knotts could be interested in that type of lift if they're not going for a vertical lift coaster. Until track shows up I'm sticking with the Intamin renewed relationship. I'd be happy with it being a Fahrenheit type or steep cable lift winged train coaster or even Blitz/ Taron type launched coaster.

According to the experts SF will only be investing in cheaper smaller scale additions so my question is what would be the cheaper addition the Mack pulsar? Or the Gci woody? Also didn't they just build a watercoaster this year? If so then my guess would be the Gci is more likely. I also like the layout reminds me of Apocalypse which I love.

Looking at the Webcam just now they are truly digging the hell out of the old boom site man 8/16 can not come fast enough to find out what will be going in there!!!

I don't know what Knotts is getting but from seeing the site in person it certainly looks big enough to hold more than a shuttle coaster I was actually very surprised to see just how much room Knotts has to work with and if in fact the renewed relationship is Intamin I'd love to see a blitz or skyrush west type of full circuit ride in that area

Imo CF wouldn't have even mentioned the "RENEWED" relationship thing if it didn't apply to a company that for years the expert enthusiasts have been proclaiming CF would never work with again and that's Intamin. Anyways I'll be one happy camper if Knotts is due for the Intamin over the RMC Raptor which I think is a cool concept just too low capacity for a park like Knotts let CGA have it

SF spending 20+M on a coaster? They don't do it b/c of their post bankruptcy Capital expenditure formula. SF EBIDTA is thru the roof without big coasters, there is no reason to change. They have set a 750M Modified EBIDTA goal for 2020, they are at 545M in last annual report. The investment strategy is not changing. Guys listen to him he's 100% correct he's an expert SF will be installing nothing more than S&S free spins, justice Leagues , larson loops and giant discoveries for the rest of their history. The idea of SF spending conservatively to be able to spend on something big is just impossible and according to the experts SF 2018 will be Skywarp for every park lol

315 foot Starflyer themed around one of those Spanish dancin poles with the different color ribbons I forget the name of it, but that would be my guess. Unless they plan on upstaging i305 by 10 feet and getting a B&M Gigacoaster lol

YES!!! IMO it's absolutely hideous lol but it still looks like it will be one hell of a ride I surely hope I'll get out there and ride it one day.

So 200 + foot 90* degree drop into pure insanity if there were any doubts about Alan's sanity this should confirm it he's an effing mad man!!! And I'm in love lol

I don't know it could ONLY be something that we have been talking for the past 2 and a half months. But I'm clueless. I mean what they meant by ground breaking. Are they saying they are breaking the ground up or that they had a "ground breaking" ceremony? Think they mean breaking ground up to start placing footers soon!!!
