Sunfire Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I want GA to get a coaster so bad. I think they should place Dominator in Vortex's place in my opinion. It would be such a better ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 ^Dominator...In Vortex's place?... How on earth would it fit!? Â Im still hoping they would get either a GCI or an Intamin rocket. We need something like a rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The Chiller is a Six Flags Inc. assett. Great America is a Cedar Fair park.  I don't think Six Flags plans on selling that ride to a competing company.  With all the problems it had they'd GLADLY sell it to them.

sfmmrules! Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Why can't GA be SFGA? Its sister park has alot of its original theme I think & rides: the Lobster(East River Crawler), Yankee Clipper(Ice Mountain Splash), the Wizzer, Triple Play, Fiddlers Fling, on & on! GA got totatally ruined! I believe SFGA is even getting yet another new coaster for next year. Oh no not GA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 ^You hit post like 3 times... Â Anyways, we have to be patient. Maybe next year will be our turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfire Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ^Well said. Hearing about all the parks getting a new coaster for next year, I was getting really frustrated. But then again, it's not like GA's getting nothing for 2008. Besides, the new ride is probably going to be a huge hit with the public. At least Survivor was. Perhaps if they come up with a good theme for it, that would make the crowds (and me) happy. Besides, Top Spins are usually great crowd-pleasers anyway.

speedracer Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 ^ Remeber CF doesn't do theming, if we're lucky hopefully it'll at least have some fun water effects like Rip Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 CF doesn't do theming? Â I guess you haven't seen Xcelerator, GhostRider, Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, or Sierra Sidewinder in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastn07 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 CF doesn't do theming? I guess you haven't seen Xcelerator, GhostRider, Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, or Sierra Sidewinder in person.  If you consider those coasters themed coasters, you have to be on something. For one, the only things relatively themed on either TTD and Xcelerator are their stations and trains, but quite frankly, their stations have absolutely no relation to either of the coasters themes. I also don't see how you can consider Sierra Sidewinder to be themed, I just rode it this past summer. I'll admit that TTD and Xcelerator have small bits of theming, but I don't see how you can considering Sierra Sidewinder to be theme...just because it's in a themed area doesn't mean it's themed. As for Maverick, maybe it would have been a themed coaster if Cedar Point would have actually come through on their plans that were shown in the original concept photo, but as we know now, Maverick has nothing but a bunch of rock walls. And from what I understand, Ghost Rider wasn't even designed by Cedar Fair, so even if you consider it to be a themed coaster, that wasn't the work of Cedar Fair, because as you know that was the year they took over the park.  So yeah, Cedar Fair does a few things of theming here and there, but compared to other parks out there like Busch, Disney, etc., Cedar Fair fails in the theming department. Most of the time they just throw a bunch of generic objects in random places to make something looked themed, and usually it doesn't add anything at all to the ride experience.

NewsPlusNotes Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I actually heard that it might not be Texas Twister from Geauga Lake but another Top Spin that needs to be refurbed and then moved from another Cedar Fair park. Â Not certain at this point though. Â Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Well, at least you're not having a coaster removed and Thomas Town put in its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The thing ive been thinking about lately is that GA probably considers Survivor a coaster. So technically for the park (and only the park) they added a "coaster" in 2006.  Oh and something new from Screamscape: 2009 - New Coaster - Rumored - (10/4/07) Screamscape has heard that the long term planners are looking to add a coaster to the park at last in 2009. I don’t have a clue what it may be right now, but at least you know how long you’ll be waiting. Let’s just hope it’s not going to be the old Boomerang from Geauga Lake.  If that is correct (and lately Screamscape has been right) then that means they would go 8 years without a new coaster! Wow!

asr Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't see why Screamscape even had to mention GL's Boomerang. GA already has Invertigo, so there is no chance it would be a normal Boomerang . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmmrules! Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 It wouldn't be a boomerang. Why would GA put a boomerang in when they took out Greased Lightnin in 02 (The BEST coaster EVER along w/Stealth which are both greatly missed) & there is Invertigo & already a boomerang at SFDK. IF GA is getting a coaster for 09 & am soo excited already & plan to start going again in 09. Hopefully it will be something big!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunfire Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 An Intamin rocket coaster would be nice. I'm still a rocket coaster virgin, so maybe I will be able to pop my cherry at Great America! If they added a new coaster, it would be ultra popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Why don't they use the plot of land behind Sky Coaster/Whizzer's old area? We don't need a 500 foot inverted 4d wooden 10 inversion standup floorless tera-coaster...just something to pack a punch and draw back in the crowd.

phazan Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Can't you all see how many seats there are per row in that picture on the first page?! It's OBVIOUSLY a dive coaster! Nope, don't question it, it's definitely a dive coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGA29 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Maybe it's the long lost Adam's Family Vertical Drop coaster! I wish Anyone notice that Mystery Mine looks very much like what the Adam's Family coaster was supposed to be? Do you think because of the licensing thing, Paramount/CF just said "Screw it" and Dollywood picked up the plans, modified them, and boom! Mystery Mine.

Loco Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ^ You know, now that you mention it, your so right! Mystery Mine seems exactly what Paramount had in mind for their Adam's Family coaster a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ^Funny, funny man. If only it was a Dive Coaster.

Were getting a dive coaster!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm sure it won't be a huge coaster, though I could be completely wrong. I can see them going with something more family oriented to compete with Tony Hawk's Big Spin. (Personally, a Eurofighter doesn't sound bad at all.)

Loco Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ^ I haven't been on one yet, but they look (again, LOOK) pretty painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
