Skysthelimit Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Given the legacy CF leadership team seems to have the upper hand at SF now, I could see Green Lantern potentially getting converted to a floorless and moved to SFDL. I don’t think it’s incredibly likely and I don’t know the dimensions off the top of my head without going to google maps to see if it would fit. But, I could see them placing this at about a 45 degree angle in place of the go-carts, between Viper and Skyscreamer. The lift hill could easily go over the campground, which is oversized to begin with. They really need a higher capacity ride to rebuild their somewhat tainted reputation from surrounding areas the past 2 decades. I was a rides supervisor/manager from 2009-2012 so I’ve always had a tendency to discuss “what-ifs” to turn the park around, and as this thread seems to continually illustrate, the improvements come in small, gradual doses. On a separate and personal note, the removal of Grizz, Giant Wheel and Thunder Rapids was inevitable but quite a blow to the lineup, especially with the 1-train ops since my departure years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovethesink Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Purely from the fit perspective, there are a number of parks in the new chain that would benefit from a relatively largescale floorless being moved in. I don't know about the future of Green Lantern though if it is removed. The ride is almost 30 and it has already been relocated. This puts it around the point where we have seen B&Ms need serious track work, if not straight up an entirely new track. Green Lantern has over 4,000 feet of track, so this would be a sizable investment for a Michigan's Adventure-Darien Lake level park despite it being a relocation.

Skysthelimit Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 ^ I agree 100% and given the portfolio of parks, even if it did fit and the track was in decent enough shape, I don’t think this would be the park of choice. Dare to dream I also have intentionally moved to areas around better parks so I don’t care that much tbh at this stage, but do wish the park my best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Back to ME for a second (sorry I'm all over the place lol)...1 or both of the trains are either on the way or have been delivered. Nice to see them taking care of this early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeykaise Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 We'd love to have Green Lantern back home in Louisville... T3 is being removed and there's all that empty space in the backyard so to speak.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 I bet Green Lantern would fit on the plot of land where Grizzly Run sits. I would love to see it at SFDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
