^ That makes a lot of sense. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

aw man, I was just at Ober Gatlinburg! Man, as soon as I leave and won't be coming back, they decide to build an alpine coaster? So including the goat coaster at goats on the roof, that means there will be 3 alpine coasters in the same general area. Why does everything happen when I leave?
But, good for Ober Gatlinburg. This will fit perfectly with their terrain and their current alpine slide.

Six Flags America, Jolly Roger in Ocean City and pretty much every carnival had friendlier staff and that's saying something.
I honestly thought that the Six Flags America employees were very nice last year...

I'd rather see a big face lift done to both grizzly and hurler. Anaconda would be nice too...
Something tells me that KD is done messing with Anaconda. The paint job and fountain splurt up is about it. I think they won't be doing anything else to it. Personally, I wish they would've just torn it down rather than try to spruce it up. Grizzly and Hurler though, I get. Hurler seems to be running a bit rougher this year and Grizzly seems to be running normal.

^ that's the same one that was posted earlier to this forum.

Prediction: it won't happen
I honestly don't think this is gonna happen. I'll believe it when I see it, i'll say that. I'm expecting a flat ride. We saw 2 in the Six Flags chain last year. Great escape and la ronde. I easily think that Six Flags St Louis is gonna receive something similar.

The way I see it, I don't care if its a clone. Its arguably the best ride at SFDK and here it is gonna be put in a park and it might not even break the top 3! That shows how good their current line up is and I'm sure that this will add to their already awesome collection. Only backwards coaster in the state. And knowing BGW, I bet they'll add some kick butt theming to it as well. I can understand the argument for it being too close to Apollo's Chariot. I get that. Is the capacity not good? Yes. But other than that, I don't understand the hate when a park is putting in a GOOD roller coaster. Could the park do better? Sure. But they haven't even announced the ride yet, so there is a high chance that the park still has something good up their sleeve for this ride. Possibly a dual loading station, or a new element added to the ride, perhaps? Lets not lose hope or immediately assume that this is going to be bad for the park!
There ya go. My motivational speech/Rant is over.

^ I don't understand the hate for volares. I liked the one I rode.
The Fly at Canada's Wonderland wasn't too bad, but I rather would prefer the Vekomas over Volares.
Me too...by far some of my favorite vekomas. Not too rough either.
-
Interesting concept. I hope it has that rapid transitions. That would definitely differentiate it from intimidator. The more different it is, the better. And wow that was a long lift to the top! Longer than leviathans! Crazy.

In all honesty, I think they should've added a coaster that is a step up from kids coasters but not too big. My sister likes mild thrills, but kiddie coasters are boring and dumb to her. I think they had enough kiddie credits already. It seems the only market of coasters that they have is kid or thrill. Not really any in between, with the exception of gold rusher (EDIT: And Ninja). But this is Six Flags we're talking about, so I wasn't expecting them to add a coaster in the market that they really needed it in.

I figured out the clue! Bastille is the name of a rock band who's biggest hit so far is "Pompeii". Pompeii was devastated by a volcano, so the new ride will be a clone of Volcano at Kings Dominion. Only this time, each rider will have cake pops thrown at them to add another element of excitement. The volcano will have animatronic turkeys on it to match the themeing of the Thanksgiving area.
HA!
I too am counting on that B&M launch. Although it would've been cool if they would get a coaster that somehow has your feet dangle. Since we've ruled out inverted, launched floorless? I can dream. And as for the hidden clue, I have no idea what it could be hidden in that message.
-
plus that would put a 400 foot tall skyscreamer on the east coast, west coast, and the mid west.
-
^ or you could look at the "fall" part of it, and assume drop tower!
-
I got the paintball one, as well as a six flags museum, and a splash ground area.
-
^ A 400 foot tall skyscreamer still wouldn't be taller than superman

Apparently you all ignored me. There is absolutely no way BGT will dish out that much money to fund a deteriorating coaster. I like the ideas, but let's get real here.
I'm with you on this one. I think the park is aware at this point that that coaster is going down hill. I imagine the only reason they're keeping it around is because ITS A ROLLER COASTER. The GP will still ride it, and coaster enthusiasts who are looking for the credit will ride it. I think thats why its getting hour waits(as mentioned previously in this forum). But at some point, within a few years, I'm sure the park will announce its removal. I'm sure the park staff have already been discussing whether or not they should tear it out.

I think my favorite part about Europe in the Air was the AC in the queue line

Man these holiday world people are guru's when it comes to marketing! Man, I think they're literally driving me crazy.
-
I wish they went black with a track color. That'd be cool. But I'll second the golden color with like red supports if the name does happen to be Centurion, which I'm skeptical about. I'm still betting on Fury, even though I like centurion better. Is it possible that Carowinds could've worked something out so that the Centurion name wouldn't be suspended and they would be aloud to actually use it?
-
In my opinion, a wing seating is just too similar to Sheikra. Whatever BGT should get, it should be something new. A giga/hyper would fit the bill, as would a GOOD wooden coaster.
-
I'll probably check it out but it'll probably not be that great.
-
Did anyone manage to catch the "mission amusement" that appeared on travel channel an hour before ICW:WD? I thought it was pretty good. For anyone that has been to canneaut lake park, was that at all accurate or well represented?

1: Hypers. AIRTIME
2: Flyers. Man, I really like these coasters. so much fun!
3: Inverts. Intense, fast, and fun!
4: Dive. They're alreadyt floorless and have some winged outer seats, so they're already automatically better than floorless coasters and wing coasters in my book.
5: Floorless. fun, but I don't LOVE the whole floorless concept. And it seems like these coasters can be either a hit or miss when it comes to a great ride.
6: Wing. fun gimmick, but forceless in the front. In the back, however, pull some good G's. And I like the near miss effect.
7: Sitdown. Its fine, but not better than floorless.
8: Standup. Intense but I don't like standing up on a coaster.

Hello King James! I like your new green color scheme!
And this was a while back, but remember that guy that posted on this forum a couple months ago saying that he claimed he knew what was coming to Cedar Point, and that it will involve a change in mantis for the better? He said something like that. But anyway, no one believed him really. It looks like he might end up being right after all.
