^I think Georgia and La Ronde won this year with their new Larson Flying Scooters. I really wondered how long it would be before we saw Six Flags pick up on them. And yes, we co-host Coaster Con (wth Holiday World), ACE's national convention for 2016. I for one am pumped! It's already on the calendar.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm very excited. 1) they're not marketing it as a coaster, even though SFNE is. 2) it will be replacing The Rush Street Flyer, which was stating to show its age. That location is prime as its pretty visable and open. Imagine how it's going to look now at night! It's seems almost strange that we will now have 3 new, colorful rides packed into the back of the park. Including Superman, the only old ride in Illinios will be Tidal Wave next year. Since it sounds like its on the chopping block, I wonder what will replace it?

The park directors and president have said many times every year that they would not be able to RMC the Boss to the extent they wanted. A lot of the layout have have to be chopped and the terrian would also prove another speed problem. Its unfortunately, but it wont be a surprise when Iron Boss isnt on the announcements tomorrow. Namely, they want that 540 ending and first drop double down.

The problem is the ride is under 100 feet tall. Unless they added a solid chunk onto the lift, that hill would need to be much, much shorter than that because there is already a raised curve before the airtime hill. The best it could be with that in mind is a bunny hop (in terms of size) for ejector, but there are already multiple opportunities for bunny hills later in the course. I'm with you on wanting airtime (which I'm sure will be delivered regardless), but I think its almost too obvious that this might be the centerpiece inversion for the ride. There's nothing wrong with a long zero-G stall. I really enjoyed Twisted Colossus' stall, it was one of the best parts of the ride. I thoroughly enjoyed the stall on Goliath. I'd love to see more. Id just like them to use it a little differently this time than from what they did on Wicked Cyclone. I understand RMC makes very unique layouts, and maybe its just me. RMC fan creations on YouTube have a lot of stalls usually as a main focus element and its becoming a general consesus when speculating a layout. I guess I'm just indlueneced by those creations that it is a "predictable" place for it.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

Has it really been a issue? I mean, I really didn't hear that many people waiting in super long lines for it. It rarely exceeds 45 minutes. The ops on the ride are terrific. And that's VERY reasonable for the park's "new ride" - one that many people claimed would have such low capacity that the line would be HOURS long! I meant "issue" as in complaint. So yes, it has never been an issue.

75 ft at 10ft above grade minimum safety envelope. Would there even be space for a swing lol? It'd be pretty cool as the train station sits below RSF's grade. So you be an extra 20 feet up at full swing over the RR. Plus, the train station is alresdy covered where guest are and the train itself is too.
