I agree that some design elements to supports would be awesome to see. I realized that i would love to see some new compact coasters in the future. Not like sequoia adventure at gardaland but more "real" coasters like deamonen at tivoli gardens and The Smiler.

The park doesn't have a launched coaster besides Superman (and Superman is very untraditional), so this sort of fills that "void" if you want to call it that. You're right that they were missing a launch coaster and its good they are getting one but it seems mediocre somehow. but i guess we have to wait and see when it opens.

its good to see they got the permit. but its always like this with parks in cities. why cant just people be happy...

im wondering as a enthusiast that have never been to SFMM. Do you guys really think that "full throttle" brings something to the park? seems they just made it to have something "that have never been done before" but to me it just looks bland. to me its not as record breaking as king da ka and not as exciting as the new Mack coasters.. I would rather see them build something like blue fire or project helix.

Its just seems that parks are focusing on modifying older rides to meet todays standards and not really rethinking ideas and make something amazing. But i guess its the way the evolution goes. with baby steps. A another thing I have been thinking about is if the rides have gotten better the last 5 years?

I have been a visitor to these forums for some years and I finally made an account in hope to make new friends and also hopefully get some answers to a question i have. I have been wondering what the next step for the coaster industry are gonna take in the future. I mean how will the evolution change the ride experience as they did with the 4th dimension, spinning and wingriders. I know sound and theming complements some rides and can help a good coaster to be a great one but when you peal of the theming, is the ride still good and unique? When does it start to get "gimmicky" and do the new coaster types really enhance the ride experience and what real evolution will we see in the future. Or has it stopped evolving and everything have been done?
