daniellazarus Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hopefully they will bring the Skycoaster back. I flew 9 or 10 times on the one they had previously. A 100 meter tall skycoaster like the one in Orlando would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltrane Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 My guess is the Groundhog Day, the ride. It just goes in a circle over and over again until you get it right. The line que on that is going to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrientExpressForever Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 It may be possible, but unlikely in my opinion, that SFFT would invest in a new coaster the year after throwing gobs of money at morphing the Rattler into Iron Rattler. That doesn't mean, however, that they wouldn't move a gently used coaster into the pictured field. There is already a lot of speculation about the X in eXtreme referring to X2 at SFMM, but that just doesn't seem like a good fit. But, there is another X coaster that is a possibility, namely the X coaster at Magic Springs. It was supposed to be removed last season, but wasn't because they couldn't take it apart in time. Just food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe something like X-Flight here in SFGAm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narkitty Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Based on the location in the picture, it looks like the land near White Water Bay/Crackaxle Canyon. A new water slide or two would be a welcome addition, IMO. I think the last new water slide was Tornado and that was....2007? 2008? I'm not 100% sure on the date. I'm still holding out for this as well, but I doubt that we will get a new coaster the year after Iron Rattler.[youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I've been reading and I guess SFFT is building a new coaster in Austin or Houston according to the Facebook comments. Not sure how they got that even started from the photo posted. The sad part was the posts keep coming even after SFFT said it was for a new attraction, not location. Anyways, my guess is a crazy water slide for the water park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm trying to picture what else the park could even use at this point. In terms of coasters they have an airtime machine, a floorless, an invert, a Premier launcher, a family spinner, a mine train, a Boomerang, a kiddie. I don't think the park needs any more coasters (maybe some type of decent woodie, GCI?) and I think they'll focus on the water park for a little bit right now. Their water park looks to have a decent collection, something new and stand out can definitely help it compete with the (arguably) world's best water park up the road in New Braunfels.

Wes Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Does Schlitterbahn have one of those pseudo-looping slides yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Does Schlitterbahn have one of those pseudo-looping slides yet? No. The latest installation was the worlds longest water rapids ride. Edited August 19, 2013 by boardwalkbullet91507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston Thrills Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Does Schlitterbahn have one of those pseudo-looping slides yet? No, not yet. All of Schlitterbahn's (company-wide) rides are either in-house or used, and I guess they just haven't felt the need to copy that, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I could at least Imagine an B&M Flyinng Coaster (but somehow that could be impossible in my opinion) an B&M Sitting Coaster, (to me the Time Machine from Free Style Music Park would be great, but doesn't look suitable for the park), a B&M Hyper (I always Imagine something like Apollo's Chariot BGW, & Nitro SFGAdv, my thought about this is I think a B&M Hyper would be Magnificent for the park). This is just a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 In terms of coasters... I think this park could use a flyer... there are no flyers or stand ups in TX... however I doubt they would move Georgia Scorcher... I don' t think another coaster will be coming to SFFT for a few years. This is liking a water park ride. Judging by extreme could we be seeing bonzai pipelines.

historyfreak92 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well, the only Stand Up we ever had was Batman The Escape at former Astroworld where I live, & It was an Intamin AG! But I don't ever think that It could run again because it's so rusted ever since I seen it go away! But it would be so Great to see Batman The Escape at SFFT as Green Lantern, or whatever!

Wes Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think the odds of this being a coaster are very very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 How about a ZacSpin by Intamin? That would be a great ride without using a lot of land. They could totally fix it on the Broadwalk section of the park. Next to Pandemonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I haven't been on any El Loco or Euro Fighters, I think they would be pretty intense too and cheaper since nearly everything built by Intamin is much more expensive.

sfgam#1 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Hmmm, I say extreme firework show. I'm sorry but they just got Iron Rattler so I can't see another coaster I can't really tell where that photo was taken.. So it could be a waterpark addition.

hgotr Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Back in April SFFT promoted the opening of the 2013 season of their water park with the title "The Regions’ Most eXtreme Water Park Opens Weekends Beginning April 27 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas." They also used the term eXtreme Thrills in the article to promote the water park attractions. My bet is on a new water park slide.
