thrillseeker4552 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'd personally love to see a Mack at SDC. I'd love to see a Mack at every park in the US. They have been coming out with some kickass stuff lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykethekid Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Blue Fire Spinner please Considering the terrain, t would be more like spinning Helix. That sounds awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOFanatic Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 ^Wait? You dislike a similar B&M coaster at SDC. So you want them to build a bigger similar coaster as the one you dislike? Huh? Maybe I should have worded that differently. I think the park deserves a better B&M as I don't really enjoy Wildfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I am curious. . . What is it about Wildfire that you don't enjoy? Wildfire is by far one of the smoothest B&M coasters out there, not to mention the view to the left of the lift hill is amazing. There is a nice mix of inversions, and the first drop provides nice airtime in the back row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it more than all other floorless and other Sitdowns like Kumba and Hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely cracking 40 degrees all day, couldn't even get it open till the last hour I was there. I rode it pretty much ten minutes after it opened up, so it didn't get much time to warm up. I just found it so bleh... Maybe it was just the condition it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it again on a nice warm summer day late afternoon, and you'll love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I don't know if the difference would be quite as exaggerated, but El Toro with an empty train in the cold is above average at best, but at night on a 90 degree day with full trains is OMFG INSANE. Ride it when it's not set up to suck and I'm sure you'll have a different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it more than all other floorless and other Sitdowns like Kumba and Hulk. What's interesting is that WIldfire has the chassis of a floorless coaster but has the floors. If you look at Kumba, you'll notice that the seats are more set into the train whereas Wildfire has a very open setting to the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 ^ That's why I compared it to both But I really do think Wildfire is amazing for a "standard" B&M looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 All right. Did some digging today and talked to my sources (news had been a little thin lately but now the extended contract seasonal workers are back at the park). The survey is for a 2020 addition. The 2017 coaster has already been bought and paid for. Apparently contracts were drawn back in January. Everything is still pointing at a B&M. Wasn't able to get anymore info than that. Of course the usual fine print is always in effect - all mentioned additions are considered rumor until confirmed by the park regardless where the information comes from.

Jaykethekid Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Well, I don't know what to think now. How far was the air at that included outlaw run released before Outlaw Run came into existence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 A good 3 years but it was called "The Bull" in the survey then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If they're asking about a Dive coaster for 2020, and 2017's coaster will be a B&M, I'm assuming the 2017 addition will be a wing coaster. I enjoy both GateKeeper and Thunderbird, so a wing coaster would be a nice addition to SDC in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 ^ I don't know, I still think a B&M Invert is a very viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A B&M invert is never ever ever ever everrrrrrrrrr a bad thing. (Think I got my point across) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 An inverted on the side of the mountain would be pretty epic - but I fully expect it to be a wing coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykethekid Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think it will probably be a wing coaster as well, but I wish it would be an invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 A very BIG wing coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 When HW was looking for a big steel coaster, they identified the wing coaster as the type that appealed to families the most, which is why they went with it. I highly suspect that SDC will work with B&M to push the height requirement to 50 inches like Wild Eagle so it can be ridden by more youngsters if in fact it is a wing coaster.

Still not good enough, methinks. If they're looking for a true family coaster they need something like Firechaser Express. Having a lower height restriction isn't what makes a coaster a family coaster - it has to be more approachable than a big, bad B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
