A resort will be a nice upgrade over that dump across the streeet we stayed in with bed bugs and damp carpet -
Incorrect. For example, the "airtime down raven" shown in the profile view is a late-twisting Dive loop, just like on Wonder Woman. It's not what's shown in the 3D animation. Not too mention the lack of an "overbank cutback" or "180-stall" in the 3D rendering too. The 3D rendering is completely different than the two 2D renderings shown (referred to as "Double Out" and "Triple Out"). Wonder Woman is also different than anything previously shown, although mostly similar to the triple out 2D model. Okay you're right about the 3D rendering being different than the double out blueprint my bad. But Wonder Woman matches element for element on the triple out blueprint, the height is the only thing that doesnt match.

I'd imagine the Raptor is cheaper construct since RMC manufactures the track, trains, and builds the ride themselves. While $&S outsources for tracks, supports, and I believe trains as well. Though the cost to Six Flags probably depends on the profit margins of the manufacturer, which none of us will probably ever know lol.

Zelda Breath of the Wild is absolutely amazing, it's literally the breath (no pun) of fresh air the series needed. Started to get a little stagnant around Twilight Princess.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Awesome!!! Congrats!! -
So I'm assuming the SFFT version of the ride is the "triple out" layout based on this blueprint leaked a couple years ago. Some things are slightly different like the height of the ride, but everything else seems to match up So can't help but wonder IF there is a 2nd raptor planned for let's say a Cedar Fair park, if it'll be the other version (double out). This version has the more airtime-ish layout and is the one RMC premiered in a video at IAAPA in 2015. Also wondering if each park chain will continue to clone these respective layouts or will they mix and match based on plots of land available or budget (the triple out is 200ft shorter so I'm assuming slightly cheaper, of course Six Flags would pick the cheaper one )

SFMM never does teasers for some reason, I guess the PR dept is like "f* that, theyll get what we give em and thats it" I can see the park adding a Giant Discovery, not sure where in the park though. Maybe in the back by Apocalypse, though I'd love to see it somewhere in DC so it can be themed to a superhero/villain.

I may be in the minority here, but I personally hope Six Flags never converts Riddler or Scorcher. They are fantastic rides as they are, and IMO Rougarou isn't much better than Mantis was and now is just a mediocre sitdown. Stand ups are a dying breed, Riddler and Scorcher were the best of the bunch IMO
