Highridin Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Yeah, the 'something' should be those stand-up trains. According to the guy's 'source', it will be something pre-Wild One. Maybe the "DISAPPEAR" in the teaser means the floor will disappear 'FOREVER'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliHorton Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I really hope Penguin's Blizzard River isn't closing. It is a great family ride and a really fun water ride! I absolutely love it! Plus it is one of the only family rides in the Gotham section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Regarding Shipwreck Falls, I don't think they would have designed their version of the "Holiday Magic" show to fit it if they planned to remove it the following season. The show can be moved (it's pretty half assed compared to the Great Adventure and St. Louis versions) but it's still sized for that ride and the plaza is a perfect spot for it. Regarding Blizzard River, the clue seems too obvious but it sucks and I hope they remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBrow Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Why have the first clue in Chesapeake if it is PBR? Walking out from behind the PBR is just too obvious. I think a ride is going but whoever is putting these up got into the FF costumes and isn't putting much thought into it. We're being trolled.

Rayj Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I was really hoping for a new coaster or flat ride, but this seems like a water park addition with a water park slide being removed (maybe zoomazon falls) OR a water park addition with the removal of penguin and the addition of a flat ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerelsolo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Now this sign...wow ok all I know is this better be good. Its stressing me out now...lol. i have been let down too many times with these announcements. This year's predictions are all over the place!

EliHorton Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I know this may sound insane, but maybe they are adding an addition to both the water park and the dry park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highridin Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 That's not insane. I have a feeling that this may be the year. Hmm...doubt it though...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackson Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hopefully they take away all of the Zoomazon falls slides except for the green one. I'm thinking we see a mat racer but I'd love to see a Mat Blaster. It would be the best of both worlds and a first in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgtlover Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Water park addition and a flat? What is this place...Great Adventure or Magic Mountain? King Chaos is being removed at SF Great America...there's your flat ride...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I could see a Water park addition and the removal of PBR simply to eliminate operating costs for PBR for the 2018 season and then utilizing its space for the 2019 addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I am 100% in favor of a potential Thunder Rapids like addition since we have nothing like that in VA or around DC. The closest water coaster currently is in Ocean City. I do admit I was hoping for an S&S Free Spin, or Zamperla Giant Discovery but like most disappointing additions I will survive.

CoasterLover Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I am 100% in favor of a potential Thunder Rapids like addition since we have nothing like that in VA or around DC. Hershey is adding one for 2018 (though, I guess that's only a factor if you are more on the Maryland/PA side of the park and not the DC/VA side)...

Hershey is a 3-4 hour drive from me where SFA is a 1-57,392 hour drive from me (since it requires driving from Fredericksburg up I-95). But the drive to SFA is a lot easier to do in a day.

MisterBrow Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I feel like the sign in the water park nails down that the addition will be in the water park. "Tide" can simply be a word used in the new name. Looking only at the captions our clues are "disappear" and "forever". "Air" just made a poor rhyme for disappear. "1st" could be a clue but 1st of its kind in MD leaves a lot of possibilities. We are always warned that the rainforest is disappearing and when it is gone it is gone forever. ZoomAzon falls predates WW before being rethemed to the Amazon rainforest in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm just wondering what the hourly capacity would be for a watercoaster? (If one does come to SFA, I'd say make it green so it can zoom fast! . . . . or maybe call it the Chesapeake Cooldown Coaster and paint in the colors of the Maryland state flag [red/white/black/gold]) As for Zoomazon Falls . . . . I like when all four slides race each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgtlover Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm just wondering what the hourly capacity would be for a watercoaster? Thunder Rapids at SFFT has this model: Rocketblast. 3-Person rafts have a 540 pph capacity. 4-person rafts have a 720 pph capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 These people do this on purpose. All of the rides people are talking about are closed: PBR, Roar, and Zoomazon Falls. Good times. Something is off when I get my food in 2 minutes...lol, even if I was only one of two people in line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
