richtrav Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Maybe S&S is just bad at metric conversions Anyways, no one has confirmed anything, though they've dropped enough clues to sink a ship. Who knows, maybe it is a record breaking B&M flyer (HA!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLover Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Maybe S&S sold their original prototype track and are simply going to make a few modifications to make it full circuit (or even just leave it as a shuttle). It wouldn't be the first time that has happened. They sold their original Thrust Air Coaster to Kings Dominion which became Hypersonic (with a few modifications of course).

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 ^Leaving it as a shuttle is a BAD idea. A total capacity nightmare. At least with 5-6 trains running on a complete circuit track, the capacity is kinda sorta decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrelleTrelle Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I don't know why I have this over coming feeling that refers me to believe that this space may be used for a B&M Hyper Coaster. Even though some of the things sixflags throws out there seem to be misleading.to this theory.I really would like to see a B&M Hyper Coaster! Cough "Millenium Force " This would literally rock Fiesta Texas world …! By the way this is my home.park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 ^ But Millennium Force is not a B&M hyper. I would like to see SFFT build a hyper coaster one day. They could even have the coaster go out using the side of the parking lot and return back. Build it in the back near the broadwalk to bring that area back.

Ayee that would actually be pretty cool.haha. It would make the boardwalk busy and attractive. Considering the fact that it seems like nothing but carnival rides are back there,Except for pandemonium. Or if they add the water back like it use to have and the Hyper Coaster could soar over the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephcissell Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 This S&S 4D free spin idea makes a lot of sense to me. I distinctly remember watching the video of when he visited S&S over the winter and tried the 4D prototype, and I would be inclined to think he might have gotten inside knowledge about where the first one is going that he can't share. For me, the real smoking gun is that we've gotten RMC related hints in terms of the references to Medusa and Goliath, and RMC is the supplier of the 4D free spin track. Since Fiesta obviously isn't getting another iRat, this seems to be about the only way that RMC could be involved. So it all adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Looking at the S&S free spin, it is very much laid out like the classic intamin zac spin. Built upwards and traveling under itself. Well what if each of these heights are heights of each level? It'd make sense...my only concern with that is that because the free spin is built upwards, that leaves a whole lot of that space unused. So it makes me think that this might not be where the freespin is going, because the free spin could easily go in a lot where there isn't a whole lot of room. Whatever's going here would probably use up that space. So if its not going here, then I'm betting on Great Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richtrav Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 It was mentioned on the S&S thread back in January: Seeing the Rocky Mountain track, and thinking back to the original mind behind the 4th dimension concept makes me wonder if Alan Shilke still has any input into this? My hero. Looks awesome! Yes, actually. From what I understand this is his design. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=66944&start=60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I hope it's a Bm coaster I don't want a ss coaster I like el loco type !! First off, this is barely comprehensible. Secondly, S&S makes the El Loco model, so I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. Also there's no way it'll be a B&M unless Six Flags commissioned yet another Batman (cost between $6-$7 million twenty years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Also there's no way it'll be a B&M unless Six Flags commissioned yet another Batman (cost between $6-$7 million twenty years ago). Nothing wrong with that- I can think of a few coasters at my local Six Flags (GAm) that I'd be happy to replace with another BTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 ^ As insane as you are for wanting two of the same model in one park (hello, Animal Kingdom), I'm pretty sure people in San Antonio wouldn't appreciate having a copy of a ride that's four hours away from fifteen years ago.

boardwalkbullet91507 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 ^not to mention, Great White (another BTR clone) is right down the road at Sea World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
