biker7766 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 ^You make it sound like a bad thing. I feel as though this ride has the potential to become a RMC beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Oh, no bad tone at all! I'm quite excited for the project! I think the size of the plot of land, and the ideas you could do with the current layout, we could be looking at a definite contender to take over as best ride in the park!

I think the size of the plot of land, and the ideas you could do with the current layout, we could be looking at a definite contender to take over as best ride in the park! At this point, I would almost go so far as to say any RMC project on the books can be considered a contender to be one of the best rides in the world. Not that they necessarily are or Cyclone will be, but I think they all have that potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I don't know if this is a chain or park policy but in GAdv, I regularly get re-rides without walking around on dead days. Me and my friend got 14 rides in a row on El Toro without getting off last week. This is the one thing I really wish CF parks would do and it annoys the poo-poo out of me that they make you walk around on dead days. Absolutely no reason for it when no one is there. I was at Six Flags Magic Mountain a few years back when the ride ops were literally begging people to stay on rides like Riddler's Revenge and Goliath where they were having trouble getting the minimum number of people required for them to dispatch the train.

Canobie Coaster Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 HUGE Announcement coming from the park via Twitter at 6:30 am EST on Tuesday........ Parking won't go up next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I really want to believe that SFNE will get an RMC makeover for Cyclone! Cyclone has always had an interesting layout and first drop. Lots of wide turns for over banks. I hope we get the inverting first drop like MexiMedusa. I can see it now, bright white structure, bright red rails and some shining new American Flag rolling stock. Steel Cyclone in 2015? Yesssss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I hope they announce that they're taking the new Goliath train, melting it down, burying it somewhere on the other side of the world and then salting the earth so nothing will ever grow there. ... But essentially confirming Iron Cyclone would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Id love for that first drop to turn into a medusa drop. That'd be ideal. But oh yeah its totally closure of cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It will most likely be the mid season replacement for twister. Most likely TGE's pirate ship. IC announcement will be on august 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) I don't think SFNE will replace Twister with anything big. It's a pretty small pad that's out of the way. SFNE has never shown much interest in replacing the rides it removes... if the empty pad isn't blatantly obvious a replacement seems really unlikely.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Jennifer McGrath just announce that it will soon be replaced with something on the live google chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Oh okay, I didn't participate so I didn't know that. Do we have reason to believe that it's going to be a ride or could it just be an interactive game / seating area or something to that effect?

ScreaminNewEngland Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Our park investigator has heard ideas of different flats. I think the most practical is TGE's pirate ship that they removed this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 While I'm not a big fan of swinging ships, that would be a nice addition in Twister's spot. Also, does the park still have Nightwing and Rodeo on site? They reinstalled Joker's Wildcard after it was removed for a few years, so maybe they could do the same thing with one of those two rides.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nightwing is gone as is rodeo. The only rides in storage are taz's dare devil dive and a kiddie ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Dang it, I was hoping for an inverting flat or sorts so the park can finally regain what they lost. Also, putting a roll on the drop would be hard to pull off, not to mention it is fantastic as is. Slowing the ride down by adding a roll would take all the fun out of it and the coaster would loose its claim to fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 By the way, the other day I took a ride on the new england sky screamer and I must say the views were simply breath taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to clarify as the park actually does still have nightwing in storage but I'm not sure about rodeo, their are a couple other rides in storage that we are not sure about but timewarp is speculated to also be in storage.

EastKoaster Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 So the announcement leaked through a local radio station and while I don't want to ruin the parks attempt for a surprise I'd like to say that next year you should expect one of the largest capital expansions in SFNE history, check the parks twitter @sf_newengland tomorrow morning for the announcement!
