ArizonaGuy Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Seriously though, did anyone notice that the balloon picture they posted the other day was leaning a bit, as was the picture itself (very close to 2.5 degrees off of vertical). Hmmmm. The Balloon was leaning cause the wind was blowing. Lol. I know SFFT is being creative with their hints but I don't think the angle of the balloon is one of them.

RMC_Hoodie Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Is knoebols getting rid of the phoniex? And be euro fighter gurus alter is not in good terms with six flags right now! Yes, Knoebels is getting rid of their super-popular, award winning ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBomer Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 It's gonna be a either a euro fighter or the less likely option: Beyond vertical drop RMC Woodie. With the lawsuit against Gerstlauer, I doubt Six Flags works with them anytime soon. And I Highly doubt that we'd get a RMC, much less a beyond vertical. I'm gonna go out on a limb and Say that we get an S&S Freefly X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterchitchat Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 According to Texas Thrill Seekers on twitter, ride ops have announced that Hustler & Motorama will be closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterchitchat Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 ^ Yeah I don't think SF wants to invest in moving Cyclone especially in such condition it is. I'm going to go with Bogus on your predictions. Yeah, it probably would be cheaper to give Cyclone the I-Box treatment and build a new wooden coaster at Fiesta Texas than it would be to build a new Goliath-style coaster and relocate Cyclone. *EDIT* How much did Goliath cost? Six Flags does not release ride costs. Cedar Fair does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreaminNewEngland Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Not hustler! Is this another RMC project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 ^^^ Which one is motorama? I'll tell you this park is baffling me a bit. When I see a balloon, I look at that as the height of the ride. But with the teasers in rockville, that says dark ride to me. So they're contradicting each other. But I don't think it'll be a coaster, as looking at the park map, it doesn't look like theres really room in that area for a roller coaster of that height(Now keep in mind that I haven't actually ever been to this park, so I could be wrong about that). But if they're removing 2 rides, then that would clear up some space, but probably not enough for a coaster. The idea of that condor style ride like the one at Hersheypark seems like a good idea to me, but I'm just trying to figure out how that fits in with the realty thing they've been teasing.

bert425 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 motorama is #2 on your map. (Hustler is #3) so yeah, that's a LOT of space. (sucks that Hustler will be closing. . it's a unique ride to the park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Completely not shocking and long term few enthusiasts are gonna care. This to me speaks to the chain's willingness to start scrapping the infrastructure that's actually good and was put together well and trash it. Hustler was well done in every way with all sorts of little touches people could look for. Hopefully what goes in that space is high capacity, looks good, rides well, and doesn't require that much maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well we all knew that because Six Flags released those but generally they don't release costs. That's a Cedar Fair thing. I guess Goliath was $10 million since Outlaw Run wasthe same amount.

CPSFMMCW Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 ^ taking into the account of the steel lift hill, I'd bet if probably be more. Maybe 11 or possibly even 12 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atter Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Could this be an RMC that dosent do anything special, by that I mean it's just a traditional wooden coaster with tons of airtime, but no loops or anything, otherwise it would be very similar to Iron Rattler.

You would get no complaints from me if SFFT got an RMC airtime woodie, actually no matter whom builds it or what new attraction the park builds you won't get any complaints from me. I do love how much this park has been hyping last years and this years project, keeps us South Texans on the edge of our seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badgmc Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The balloon is tied to a light pole in the queue for Motorama. Also, in the grass within Motorama's layout, there are orange surveying flags and some green lines spray painted on the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 hmmm...they have something up their sleeve and its bothering me. In a way, I could see it being a brand new coaster since Iron Rattler was just a revamp really. They added Goliath in 2008 as their last new addition, which was actually a relocation. So a brand new coaster actually would make a lot of sense. The question is, what would fit in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky dude Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Go to google maps. You can fit poltergeist in there. BIg space. SFFT Twitter: Wow.... Due to the wind, #SFFT2015 has been dropping & diving all day. Dropping & Diving? Bet thats a hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) So let's say by chance this is a coaster. So if in fact hustler and motorama are removed(circled in red), then I could see an out and back put in that area(example in green). The area the Hustler is in could definitely be a station for the ride. Edited July 27, 2014 by CPSFMMCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 So let's say by chance this is a coaster. It's rumored that the hustler and motorama are being removed(circled in red). Is it possible that they could utilize part of that parking lot space for a new coaster(circled in blue)? If so, then I could see an out and back put there(example drawn in green). I hate to say your picture is way off. You have circled things on the Boardwalk. Rockville is just a bit to your right. Right above Poltergeist. Well.....above and to your right.

ArizonaGuy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 No probs. it's all about the fun while speculating. I'm thinking possibly a RMC twister type coaster but these hints they're dropping seem way too easy. Ughhh it's gonna be a long wait til August 28th.
