AfrosaurusWrecks Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 ^Good eye! Also call me crazy, but if you look just below the red track, there's a suspicious looking set of orange-yellow lines in an out-and-back fashion, with a hammerhead turn around where the flying scooters are, possibly for a hyper coaster?? It fits the location where the cross section put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Initially I thought the hyper was basically following the course of Delta Flyer/Eagle's Flight... but the more I look at it, it looks like it would be about 20 feet or so away from it but otherwise running parallel. If they're planning to keep it then it would offer some pretty sick views of the hyper. If they're not then this plan sucks, hand me a protest sign so I can go hang out with the Prudental execs at the next hearing and bitch about noise levels or something.

AfrosaurusWrecks Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I can only imagine how cool it would be to take the skyride with a massive B&M rushing past you. It would certainly be a sight to see. I'm really hoping that this dream will come true, this park deserves a big coaster. I'm assuming it will be one of the earlier additions to the expansion (hopefully between 2018-2020), as it was one of the first additions we heard of, but even if it takes a while to get here it would be a fantastic fit for CGA.

rolercstrluvr Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 All of this news is fantastic for CGA. Ever since I heard about the rumored hyper a few years back and now being in a plan to actually get built (eventually). I've always pictured a carowinds intimidator but without the weird seating and have the 4 across instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 ^Yeah, I could see CGA going with the older seating design, as it is a bit friendlier to more compact designs. with CGA being a smaller park, it could make more sense to build a hyper with that configuration. Plus, after riding a couple hypers with both the old and new configurations (Intimidator, Diamondback, Nitro, and Apollo), I do not really think that the newer one adds much more to a ride compared to the older one. If anything, I would rather see B&M use something like the Skyrush style seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfrosaurusWrecks Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 One thing I do like about the new style trains is the feeling of more openness and freedom of the staggered seats compared to the 4-in-row seats. However, I don't have any real preference. I personally believe that if the coaster is built, they will use the new style, but only because the other Cedar Fair B&M hypers do and it may be easier to just be consistent across parks. It will be interesting to see what they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The problem with staggered seating is the GP is dumb. It always seem to confuse the crap out of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Since they had all of that great blue paint lying around and a painting crew on site, it looks like the Skyway towers got some love also. Â Â From the park's Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So I was watching the council meeting video ( ) and noticed something in one of the slides being shown. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the pdf on the Santa Clara website so I just took a screenshot. Is that a red coaster track I see over Rip Roaring Rapids?  The track layout for that red coaster looks similar to X-Flight at SFGAm.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It left the future of the old Vom Roll in doubt, so aesthetic improvements like this are a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayCool64 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I believe according to one of the concept plans here, it looks like Delta Flyer/Eagle's Flight is here to stay (for now) The station building is located somewhere in the middle of this map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayCool64 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So it looks like Maggie Brown's is getting an upgrade/slight name change, and will start serving BBQ.  From CGA's Facebook: The famous fried chicken will still be served at Maggie’s, but the official name is now Maggie’s Smokehouse & Fried Chicken. Why? Because Maggie’s will now also serve amazing BBQ favorites like smoked tri tip and pulled pork, an incredible rotisserie chicken and more. On select days, both beef and pork ribs will be on the menu.  Should be rather interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayCool64 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Understandable. Although that picture is blurry, so it's hard to tell. I think I do see the station in that picture, but again, it's hard to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slides to rides Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 ^ I wonder if the impulse could fit into Tidal Wave's old spot. Firefall being removed, opened that area up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmart Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 It's not in the current plans, but I would like to see a dive coaster at CGA. It doesn't take much space and the track could fly above the walkways. Plus it would be a first for the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfrosaurusWrecks Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 While it is by no means super accurate, I combined the blurry image from the slideshow and the crisp picture outlining the marketplace and highlighted some key elements to make it easier to see. I took particular care on the the skyride as well as the possible hyper coaster and as you can see they are separated by a passable amount. Another thing I did happen to notice though was that in the top-right corner, Woodstock Express is overlayed on top of what appears to be a slide tower. I'm wondering if we could see its removal as part of the expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they actually added both those I could see Woodstock being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
