  1. Maybe this is what six flags is doing for their ''record breaking/first of it's kind'' attractions.

     

    This theory has been posted before and got pooped on by most. I tend to agree that this was part of the tease by SF. The rumor of SF and Skyline deal seems more credible now. Multiple Skywarps might have been purchases for non superloop parks.

    Skyline is announcing the park that bought it at IAAPA in November. Six Flags makes their yearly announcements in September. Six Flags did not buy the first SkyWarp. It doesn't make sense and doesn't fit the time line.

  2. I have only been to this park once....

     

    I will be coming down next week and plan on going to the park Thursday 6/29 (later afternoon if my plane lands on time and night) and Friday 6/30/17. May I ask how the crowds are usually on Thursdays and Fridays? We want multiple rides on pretty much every coaster since we won't get to this park much being from Maryland.

     

    Think we may need a Flash Pass?

    How long are you staying in town? I might go to the park on Monday.

  3. Announcement Ceremonies from Universal Studio Japan's Facebook Page

    [super Nintendo world ™] 2020 in front of the Tokyo Olympics to open and finally start!

    The construction started today in the construction of the construction and construction of the series of the " Super Mario Bros " the super mario bros the world of " Super Mario bros And it has been announced that the "Mario Kart" is an attraction in the world of the world's most advanced technology and that the theme of the theme park! http://usj.eng.mg/1aabf #USJ

  4. I thought was already part of the speculation??? I'm pretty sure someone pointed that out with a video of Blue Fire.

     

    Perhaps a rear-facing last car would be a better example of new speculation following the announcement of WBMW Australia's coaster?

    I'd agree but the park stated this would be the worlds "first" or "only." The car on Blue Fire was a tester for a future project. Maybe this is it.

  5. Still hung up on the emphasis in the "Like Nothing Else" statement though... A standard model coaster that shares similarities with a coaster in Europe is not really unique, albeit awesome. I still think there is a gimmick to all this that hasn't been revealed yet. Perhaps it will be something as simple as theming elements though? Something like "What's in the shed?" but with a mine shaft? That would be a relief, and at SDC that type of thing would actually go over extremely well.

     

    This park and chain likes it's gimmicks and world's first's though. If we are betting, I'm still going with some kind of spinning action. After all, five different concept pitches showed spinning cars, and the concept pitches historically show the idea they are pursuing. I think it will be calculated though - people hear "spinning coaster" and immediately assume it will be spin-till-you-puke. I'm guessing a ride like this would have a combination of straight segments, free spinning segments, and controlled spinning segments. They have the technology and are spending the money to do it right. There's no way they are spending this much money on something that would turn people off.

     

    There's also the fact to consider that the design may have changed considerably since the original pitch. I've noted before about the apparent changes during the staking/clearing process. They could have nixed the spinning concept for a more traditional model. Only time will tell...

    At IAAPA they showed a revolving track. Maybe they will able to offer both a spinning train and a non spinning train. This would be "Like Nothing Else"
