That it is http://www.themeparkreview.com/parks/p_205_6987_californias_great_america_berserker Unfortunately, it has low ridership. I am not sure if it has been up since the beginning of the season, but I haven't seen it running at all. White Water Falls has been closed every time I have been to the park, and there were several survey teams inspecting the area. The park already has a water park, Rip Roaring Rapids, and Loggers Run log flume. WWF's novelty was always the splash zone, but other than that, it wasn't very special or thrilling. I PRAY for an Intamin Blitz. That would really help separate itself from its neighboring park, SFDK.

Given that the area is kinda sorta close to Whitewater Falls, what I'm predicting is that they'll remove WWF in the future and use that space plus the Invertigarden for a water coaster. I could be wrong, but that's just my guess. Looking further into it, I can definitely see now how a coaster going in to the spots of Invertigo and WWF wouldn't be that crazy. [attachment=0]IMG_7017[1].PNG[/attachment] It looks completely plausible. The water from the remote controlled boat area has now been drained. Combine this with White Water Falls, Invertigarden, and the also closed "Beserker", and you've got a footprint for a coaster. There are some rumors for the Demon getting some upgrades for Haunt along with being called, Demon Re-ignited

When comparing the concept art to the final product, there is one difference that makes me hopeful for some digital mapping. That blacked out area of the building in the center could be used for some cool mapping effects. I am quite happy to say that I was wrong on this one! There have been lots of video of testing for projection and maybe even some laser effects on the facade! I only hope that this is for the actual ride and not just for the special events this week. The building is supposed to swell and pulse with energy, so I'd imagine the effects are there to stay. It looks so cool on video, I can't wait to see it in person!

They could make it stand out by having a normal one. The one at SFDK is already tweaked, so normal by comparison would be different. That said, personally, I feel even the regular model would not be too terribly different enough, and they could do better in terms of having something more of their own. But they are about as different as those models do get. You're aware they can further "tweak" an already tweaked ride, right? I am fully aware. But there really doesn't seem to be any reason for them to do so. You're right, because screw having anything unique.

I'm with you though. I thought RIddler looked great before... Now, not so much, and it doesn't really make sense with the character. I mean, it's not a BIG deal, but it's really odd, and another strange color combo decision by an amusement park (shockingly, NOT CF this time! lol) My question is, was Riddler's Revenge in NEED of a paint job, let alone a new color scheme? It's like when SFOG turned Ninja into Blue Hawk and gave it a new paint job, even though it was probably the coaster in the park that needed it the least. I hope you were being sarcastic. As for Riddler. People complain when they don't paint their coasters, now we're complaining that they're painting them too soon? **Confused** Typical enthusiast stuff.

I'd imagine it would have to do with upkeep. Look at how dirty space mountain gets/has been. It would be easier to just paint it black and have easier access to repair or replace a screen. I'm reaching obviously. Perhaps it's just meant to look like a separation in the design of the building. Can the new Thor movie come out already so we can see the movie version of the tower?!
