Screamin' Eagle... why? It's not going to happen. The ride is in top-notch shape, and has good airtime. I doubt Dave Roemer would consent to this, anyhow. Colossus, yes... it was in bad shape... John Allen's last creation, still fine? No. And the Boss wont happen, for the last time. I am not sure if you're following the SFStL Thread, but it has been told numerous times that it would be expensive and too much of the ride's length would be neutered. Last season, I personally held a lengthy conversation with the director of attractions throughout the day on this topic. I too, was given this reasoning multiple times. In all cases, they want to keep that double helix. Georgia Cyclone is running like a charm with it's new topper track from '12. My backseat ride on it this year was mostly butter. The airtime wasn't too terrible as well. Also, Roar East is in worst shape. Mostly because it still has PTC's beating the hell out of it. I believe La Ronde will be getting the one treatment.

With the new colors, trains, and names, KK could simply have pulled a Six Flags and marketed it in a *vague* way to create the illusion that it is an entirely new attraction. So be happy he at least isnt that type of president who would take advantage of the GP knowledge. Lightning and Thunder were enough to get me happy for KK. Now T3 is also on my "must-do's" list because of these new trains (and to think that by my first visit, they will *hopefully* have an RMC Twisted Sisters )

Worlds of Fun (WOF) Discussion Thread

Remember how generic CF can be? Yeah, it doesnt mean anything. The ride is simply a filler. It would be downright ridiculous to predict a GIGA / 2nd hyper at WoF (of all parks) because of a random artist rendition. All the other parks have extra things. I hate to break it to you, but ive seen this green coaster in other banners around the chain. -
Theme Park Three Mistakes
RollerManic replied to Rollercoaster Rider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^SFStL says thanks for the Giant Evolution. One of three ever built. It runs pretty well here; maybe you should check it out. Another park: SFOG 1. Removing Deja Vu 2. Taking our hyper 3. Removing Viper, the Schwarfkopf shuttle loop Anybody know what happened to Greezed Lightnin' after Premier lost SFKK? -

LOL, if Gardaland did condoms for Oblivion: The Black Hole. Even as a teenager myself, this is kind of disturbing. Isn't this promoting sex? And where's parental backlash? -
Favorite Defunct Roller Coaster/Ride
RollerManic replied to GrapesLie's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I miss Ozark Wildcat (GCI woodie at Celebration City, Branson, MO). I really wish i could have ridden Batman and Robin: The Chiller; I love old school LIM launchers. SFStL better not ever remove Freeze! -
The last new Coaster in your Count
RollerManic replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Batman: the ride @ SFOG was #132, as i had skipped it on my previous visit. Also, it would have been #133, had i not skipped Superman: Ultimate Fluff @ SFGAd last year - and yes, i passed up this one again at SFOG in May (already had the credit). -

Even mother nature doesn't want us to have nice things. -
I wanted to post the survey for other TPR members to take it and input their word. I tried the other surveys, and its all the same. It very well wouldn't be a secret as it was a publicly available survey. NONE of my surveys, other than SFSTL, were completed and submitted. They dont go through unless the entire process is finished. Also, its fishy that SFFT's survey also included the tide they got last year. The survey honestly is no definitive lead, as i have discovered.

La Ronde Discussion Thread

Everyone has forgotten about Le Monstre as an RMC candidate, but I've been dreaming for years. I really hope they can do something with that funky structure. -
Take this survey to reveal, at-the-moment, our current consideration for next year. I have no clue where it'll be. https://feedback.sixflags.com/AdvisoryPanel/startsurvey.aspx?s=GADNAME&e=&utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email Repeat for other parks. It works everywhere, but I'd take it that the ride is being considered for mass cloning. All the other surveys (even SFFT and SFMM *wtf*) are considering 4D Free Spins, so we should see a few pop up in 2016. Kudos to NickLikesCoasters over at the SFGADv Discussion Thread. Select RPM as your favorite name for my selfish reasons!

Holiday World (HW) Discussion Thread

I'm collecting that Thunderbird is actually a FORCEFULL wingrider? And that the launch wasn't really a gimmick, but a great part of the experience? That's great! -
Alton Towers Discussion Thread
RollerManic replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Honestly, I think the nature of these pages since the incident naturally repeated themselves. This is the 40th page so far, and just now it seems to have calmed down. I did go back and read all the speculations. There was quite a bit, but it took a very time. At this point, most everything we could propose has been commented, and the best we can do is wait. I hope tomorrow has a good turnout for AT. EDIT: v Yeah, I've noticed that. I tend to just pass over it because I've already seen it, but wouldn't have read all the pages though if I wasn't interested. -
Some of us our forgetting that SFA is "making a big splash in 2016". Not sure about you, but I think they'll be getting wet. Has Six Flags EVER in recent years advertised for next year in June? No. Even the transformation of Cyclone and Colossus weren't announced until the rest. Granted, they were hinted following July.

^^Like a good neighbor, State Farm... yeah. I kind of hope we see more dry-side improvements next year too. Another flat ride would be awesome - as long as it's not a Super Loop. I'm not really too sure what to put in the waterpark, but it is destined to expand behind Big Kahuna. I've never thought too much about the place's future, honestly. All too bad, because the Dippin Dots guy told ME that we're getting an aqua-track for hurricane harbor, and it will launch through the volcano, ala Volcano @ KD.
