Honestly they've poured decent money into the park the last few years. So, who knows. I think good things will happen between now and 2030.

A hypercoaster has to be a full circuit coaster. Because of that, Freeze doesn't meet the criteria to be a hypercoaster.

I wish I could have experienced that site. Unfortunately I was was still one of those young people at the time. I have only recently become a boomer and can now properly complain about the darn youngins being on my lawn

I think eventually we will get a Hyper. Eventually. Will it happen next year or the year after? Probably not. But I think within 10 years time it could happen. As much as I would love a hyper, I think filling out the park would be better. There is a ton of unused dead space in the park, and that makes the park seem empty. Like the space around sky screamer, where tidal wave used to be. I would love to see an expansion of hurricane harbor. There are three basically unused parking lots that are basically weed infested every year that could be used for that.

I'm not surprised. It was never all that popular honestly. When it was hot most people was in hurricane harbor anyway. What we should do is we should bring back the water cannons on thunder river. Now those were fun

Remember when we just used to argue on whether corporate hated our park? Good times. They've put some good money into the park this year, looking forward to seeing how it looks in person.

It's been a while since I've been on here. But as someone who thought corporate took a negative view to our park and wouldn't put the needed funds to improve it. I can tell you the park has 100% gotten better over the past couple years. New decking, fresh paint on storefronts and restaurant, path work, decent flowers (even if the skunks and deer rip them up immediately lol), a couple of new rides including a much needed family coaster. Sure, the park still lacks in some areas. I would like to see the Go-fresh store or whatever it was repurposed or reopened. If like the area where tidel wave used to be developed, and let's get something better than moose burger in. I'm biased and would love to see a new giga, hyper or even another water park expansion, but I don't think those things will happen yet. But overall the past two years alone corporate has dumped a ton of money into the park and I think it's heading in the right direction finally.

Honestly, while we definitely need more rides and coasters to just fill the park out more, what I believe is more important right now is also just general maintenance. Paint, gardening, general cleaning and renovations. Coasters and flat rides are cool, but a dirty and run down looking park isn't going to attract people to spend money. I'm also going to throw out a suggestion, they could take a page from Holiday World and expand the water park using that basically abandoned parking lot. Create one big spread out water park line they do. Add a second wave pool which could be smaller and maybe isn't as intense. Could of thriller water rides, maybe even a water coaster.

I imagine it's exactly the same ride, just different paint. Six flags has a history of buying multiple of the same ride and spreading them out over their parks over 2-3 years. Maybe they get a discount buying in bulk or something.

I have to admit, the thought of it swinging over the lagoon is absolutely thrilling to me. It would be a lovely view.

Going in Dragon Wings old spot makes a ton of sense. It'll fill that section of the park nicely. But that still leaves the spot by tidal wave, and really that whole section of park, incredibly empty and neglected.

I just wanna say, I totally called a Discovery model going into that spot. I'll take my cookie please.

And I thought I did a lot of complaining about the park. Old man yells at Carousel progress.

Well looks like I'll need to eat my hat. It might be a family coaster but it's still a coaster.

Is the giant discovery the most comparable model to what Xcalibur was? They make four different discovery models, I honestly don't know which one is most comparable. I think only one of them has a full 360 degrees of travel, and that's the revolution version, which at first glance seems like a drop in replacement. But I could be woefully wrong.
