In the most recent vacation they used ninja at six flags over Georgia. And in one of the final destination movies they used corkscrew at playland at pne -

I doubt that cedar fair will rmc something at Kd before it happens at Cedar Point. -

True and that doesn't even cover every park and I'm sure every park is going to get something. -

Larson loopers are disliked by so many people, but they're actually decent rides. -

And that year of coasters could all be Larson Loops!! Imagine having dueling Larson Loopers... INTERLOCKING dueling Larson Loopers! Non- inverting Larson looper or Inverted Larson looper. -

Would you count a Larson super loop as light? -

Well if they decide to rmc it I just hope it's not the same layout as Joker. -

Not completely. It's still very possible but considering they have been working on it this season, It would be very impractical for them to do that just to have it close and be converted. I am literally SO TIRED of people who say this without doing their research. Remember Medusa at Six Flags Mexico? Remember how Rocky Mountain came in and put topper track on it for the 2012 season? Remember how the very next year Six Flags announced that it would be closed to be converted? No? Shocker. Seriously. There's absolutely precedent for doing work on a ride before you convert it. Just because it could get RMC'ed in 2017 doesn't mean that they're going to let it fall to pieces up until then. You all know literally nothing about what Six Flags is planning, stop pretending like you're wiretapping eight conference calls a day. Now, back to ignoring the forums until speculation season is over... Well then. -

It's possible that there will be more than that. Rumors are swirling that six flags ordered around six of them. -

A water coaster like the one at sfne would be a great fit at the water park but the lines would be outrageous. Splash water falls is literally cramped with people and the lines for the little slides are longer than the ones for bonzai pipeline. -

I had no fact behind the comment. It was just a speculation. -

Oh yeah I bet the corporate higher-ups are literally sh*tting their pants just thinking about the prospect of having to compete with a new free spin at a power house destination park like Six Flags America. One of those could really improve the park and it'll be unique in SFA's market unless you include great adventure as part of their market. Screamscape said that they would be getting an RMC I-Box conversion on Roar. So I can think we can all agree, Screamscape is wrong again... Not completely. It's still very possible but considering they have been working on it this season, It would be very impractical for them to do that just to have it close and be converted. Abd it would leave them with one Woodie. What would be better if they decided to go with rmc to redo roar but instead use the topper track like they did to create Goliath. That would keep it classified as a wooden coaster. And it would give them a great collection of wooden coasters competing with the likes of knoebels. In the Mid-Atlantic. -

They definitely should have been a front runner to receive a new coaster. Instead parks like KI are getting crammed with coasters. -

I don't think six flags is gonna install any more skyrocket II models at any of their parks besides maybe la ronde. If they would have done another in the US it would've happened by now. -

Hopefully we are the lucky recipient of one of those 4d free spins. Having one of those would really compete with Kd, Bgw, and Hershey Park. -

Besides the water park that seems to constantly get expanded with nothing. They don't really focus on adding major slides. -

In my opinion they need to expand the coyote creek and Mardi Gras sections of the park with coyote creek getting another coaster in that area and Mardi Gras adding 1-2 more flats. They should also look into getting some more kid friendly thrills like a Zierer tivoli. -

Yeah, I don't want to get it twisted like "Six Flags America is actually good" because it is so, so not good. Six Flags doesn't invest in basic infrastructure like Cedar Fair has been, and even if it did, there's this perception strike about who goes to SFA which will probably justify not making basic improvements to the park. The funny thing is most people who dislike six flags America because of the clientele and staff often promote kings dominion. When in all reality it's the same types of people. -

Here's the deal: for people in the region, complaints about the clientele consistently come up and have been coming up for as long as I've been connected to the rest of the hobby or people living in the DC/Baltimore area. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that these complaints are really down-low racism, but confronting that fact doesn't change the reality that there's a lot of people there with a lot of alternate options who are basically afraid of a theme park with a greater than 15% African American or Hispanic customer base. Six Flags can do two things then: -Shrug, put lots of money into infrastructure that was ignored during the initial flagging process from Adventure World to Six Flags America -Do bare minimum to keep numbers where they are in a highly competitive market place The current management has never chosen for #1 for any park, so it shouldn't surprise you they've gone with #2. That park needs to spend millions on things like plumbing before they spend it on rides. This. The "clientele" thing really grinds my gears about this park. Leading up to the first time I visited SFA that is all I would hear about. When I finally visited the park I said to myself "what the hell are they talking about?" They were speaking about the place as if there was drug dealers slinging dope on ride exits and people were getting knifed on the midways. Man people are sheltered sometimes. I completely agree with you. The people saying that should just go to valley fair or michigans adventure instead. Neither of those parks are remotely close to SFA. Maybe KD and BGW instead. I know that but I was trying to say that if they don't want to be around black people and latinos they should go somewhere where they aren't. -

That could really increase attendance and maybe stop all the hate on the chain. -
