Sir Clinksalot Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Surprised nobody has figured it out yet: Tunnel + Premiere = Speed the Ride is coming to SFMM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think Premier has done some very cool things...after all, they DID invent the top hat element(and I prefer the inside version over the outside versions)...not to mention their coasters are all nice and smooth and their launches rock! I think a Premier at the park would be an excellent addition! Remember, they still have to fill Deja Vu's space as well, so there is room for both Premier and Intamin!

kylexy2298 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Out of curiosity, what is the longest coaster at SFMM right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I believe it's Goliath, at 4,500ft. Kinda weird when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^^Goliath EDIT: ^You beat me to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Premier is definitely capable of airtime - Orlando's Revenge of the Mummy has two good pops, one straight after the launch. So I wouldn't count them out as far as airtime is concerned! I would, however, prefer an Intamin - more comfortable seats and if we're mixing something like Maverick and Cheetah Hunt together, I know they'll do it great!

coasternut Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^^ Yea, my fav. - Goliath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCreator9 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^^ Yea, my fav. - Goliath... I think Goliath was my first hypercoaster (back in '08). Either Goliath or Wild Thing, pretty sure it was Goliath though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 It's most likely going to be an Intamin which I'm always "OK" with but I'm not exactly opposed to a Premier creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey....we could ALL be wrong....BRC Imagination Arts, from Southern California, is planning/designing the tallest, "Zero-Gravity" rollercoaster...could it be for a US park? http://news.yahoo.com/zero-gravity-roller-coaster-could-bring-weightless-thrills-120008782.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^We've had two threads on this. No. $50 million dollars and technology that, no matter what they say about their timeline of building the ride, isn't going to function reliably for a long, long time. Not to mention the fact that Magic Mountain already has that same exact ride, minus the unreliable technology and the closed spaces to simulate zero-gravity, that offers almost that same amount of airtime already.

Manic Monte Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The consensus seems to be that this will be Intamin or Premier, and will be pretty impressive. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveydo5172 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ^Exactly, this could just as easily be a PAX coaster as anything else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigalyte Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hmmmmm This was just posted to SFMM Facebook page by Premier Just returned from the 2012 IAAPA: International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Leadership Conference. Premier was the sponsor of the day at Six Flags Magic Mountain and for the conference keynote speech by Six Flags COO Al Weber Jr., Ph.D. Hint maybe???

Premier was the sponsor of the day at Six Flags Magic Mountain and for the conference keynote speech by Six Flags COO Al Weber Jr., Ph.D. Hint maybe??? Back in October while waiting to board Green Lantern, I saw several people escorted to the front of the line by what looked to be Six Flags management. All those people that were escorted to the front of the line had on polo shirts with the Premier logo on it. At the time I thought it was S&S/Arrow, so I didn't think anything of it.

Reuschini Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why use inferior, potentially dangerous (flying metal shrapnel) and unreliable hydraulic launch technology when you can use clean, safe, dependable magnetic propulsion technology... It's barely inferior when it comes to ride experience: hydraulic launches are much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If I had to chose between the current rumors that are going on of a LSM (multiple) launch coaster, I would prefer: 1. Intamin 2. Premier 3. Mack 4. Zierer All companies capable of multiple LSM launches. But just think, if there was a ride that had the same quick-transitioned style of Maverick, with some other cool elements traversing the hillside, oh man... I'd definitely prefer Maverick/iSpeed to Chettah Hunt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
