^ Good point! VF, and MA dont have "Windseeker" either, so it would seem WOF is trying to spend less, so that they can spend more for the future.

Anybody hear when VF is going to do their 2014 announcement?

Personally, I like the name Steelhawk. I'm not overly fond of the fact that it is just a Windseeker, but its better than nothing. I can continue to hope for a new coaster for WOF for 2015.

Honestly there is plenty of room for a path to Zumanjaro, and a queue for it WITHOUT removing Rolling Thunder. Actually more than enough, so I'm on the side of they are removing Rolling Thunder because of capacity, maintence issues, and drop in popularity, and new ride/rides/roller coaster will occupy its plot in the future. Removing it now "for" Zumanjaro is simply just a convient time and reason.

2014 Texas/Midwest TPR Tour Part II! Enjoy all FOUR USA RMC creations! Lol hey doesnt sound like a bad idea lol! And you could even drop on down to Mexico again to pick up all five North American RMC coasters! Lol just a thought...

I kind of wish they would have announced some new shows for 2014 as well. I think that would have kind of helped lift the spirits around the park after such a tragedy. But I think once next season rolls around everything will be fresh, NTAG and Shockwave will be open, and most of the GP will have forgotten what happened this past July and this park can start its recovery. ^ Those are some great ideas that I never thought of!

Well, I'm definitely happy about our addition, and I'm glad its getting a better name than Aqua Twist, I just wish the name would fit with the themed area, but I'm not going to complain. This is probably the best addition we have gotten since American Thunder, In my opinion of course.

^ Id say its a possiblity. I wonder where they would put them if they were to get them?

I really dont think there is any reasonable hope for the Hannibarrels, but we could be surprised. It just depends on if the park is willing to put out that much money for the necessary repairs.

I heard that there may be something for OOF as well.

Has demolition of The Southern Star began yet?

Perhaps 2015 will be SFGAm year for Skyscreamer, and it will go where Ragin Cajun is? Or possibly an Aqua Twist?

Just watching the video makes me sick, so I know I will not be able to partake. Cant handle spinning.

^ Awesome! Thank you! I look forward to hearing whats in store.

^^ Probably not possible. CF owns the rights to that name (Timber Wolf at WOF).

Very cool discovery there! Yeah, the billboard path is really odd. But the other one across from Hannibarrels I'm assuming leads to an employee area, so I doubt that will be opened up. But, I also agree we have found an AWESOME spot for a junior coaster! Oh and there are those ugly, pointless fake buildings again! Ugh! Take 'em down already SF!

From what I've come to understand, Chain of Rocks could not compete with SF once it came along

And X-Flight copy would look great in either spot too!

I've never been there, but judging from what I have read, and pictures, it would definitely be worth the long trip, and I would be coming from Missouri!

^ I think a custom B&M Floorless would be great for that spot, or a custom B&M Flyer to take the record from Tatsu.

^ Thats a great idea, but I honestly think the intire structure needs to go. Its just too old, and SBNO for so long has defintely put the wear on it. But I'm sure everything will look really nice once finished. And side note, its funny, we are talking about it like its confirmed lol! I'm just sure its what we are getting. Boy would I be surprised next Thursday if we find out we are getting something completly different lol!

^ Still just too funny!

Haha awesome, I cant wait to ride both Lol I live like 50mins away from the park- so yes I know it is very wonderful park and has a nice feel to it with some very decent theming, just with the additions and removal of rides so often since the 70's, I think it might be time to recollect and get the theming back on track or redone. And by confusing I meant the theming is confusing plus why they blocked old unused paths I am a nostalgia person, I like place like Knobels, where they try to preserve or even remake old classics like the Flying Turns, and I would love to see some old nostalgia back in the park. And people want to see pics because we are fascinated by the nostalgia of a SBNO ride, we love history, and we love to see what time has done to the ride and how they are getting ready for removal and taking out of the old ride. It's history in the making for a lot of us. Yes exactly my point, we want to preserve the parks history because there are many who would not as long as they they get what they want. And Vonnie that's exactly what I was thinking, that's why I was inquiring about them, it is a classic ride. And omg the floor dropped also how freaking awesome. I if I remember from pics the queue line had some where you could stand up high and look down and watch people spin that is very cool. I really hope they theme our Aqua Twist to Frontier/Old West to blend in with the area and surroundings, but I dont expect it. In fact, I highly doubt it. But none the less, I'm so excited about it! I've not been this excited about a non-coaster addition to the park in a long time! It just seems so perfect for our park, and I'm just so glad they are FINALLY doing something with the Hannibarrels! I cant wait to see that area of the park next year!

^ We want pics to show what work has been done so far, and to have a timeline of the transformation of that area of the park. And as far as Tom's Twister, I wouldnt mind having a rotor in the park again. I cant handle spinning rides but a lot of people love them. I still hear stories of "the ride where the floor drops out" all the time. Its very popular with the GP.

^ Very true, and that would be so awesome!
