Brassinthegrass Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Being a major aesthetic lover when it comes to roller coasters, I think the biggest reason I'm still hoping the 2016 GAdv addition is not an S&S Free Spin, is because of that prime lakefront location. I'd have no qualms with that type of coaster back in the old B&R location, or elsewhere in the park. But with that lakefront, and also the forested log flume island, a larger, more terrain interactive coaster would be lovely there! I don't think this is coming, but a launched B&M Wing Coaster would be amazing back in that area! That would definitely draw me out to visit my Jersey relatives again next year! Being realistic, a Premier launched coaster like YOLO would still be an upgrade over a Free Spin there, and could utilize terrain. So I guess that's what I'm hoping for at this point. Make no mistake, though, I think an S&S Free Spin looks fun, and I look forward to riding one someday. Just hopefully not there at GAdv, on the waterfront! To be fair, could we be seeing a redesign of the lake front woth shops and dining and the free spin at the B&R spot? To be fair, we havnt seen ANY track or construction materials anywhere yet.... All we know is that the show stands have been (or are) knocked down and that they got approval of a new coaster for 2016...

When do materials usually start showing up?

"A new skyline will take shape in one of the park's original sections that has remained nearly unchanged for four decades" screams Lakefront. The work in Old Country is most likely for HITP.
coasterbill Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Sometime bill, you are just too much! I try.
michaellynn4 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I, for one, am really looking forward to a fresh new view of the lake. It's been pretty much guarded from view from the pathways by the Aqua Stadium and the Grandstand for over 30 years. I've a feeling that it's going to feel a lot more open over there from now on, and I'm looking forward to that. The only thing I'm hoping for is minimal tree removal. We'll see, though.
Superbatboy Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Whatever Gradv has picked for this location, will look great next to that lake. Something about rollercoasters near water
Brassinthegrass Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I. Sure it won't go over the lake, unless it's like great bear and all the supports are on dry land, NJ and Jackson seem to be pretty insane about the nature preservations.... Sometimes I forget there is a lake, unless I go to the parking lot outside the park and take pictures!
strz Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I don't really follow construction with Six Flags parks. When do materials usually start showing up? May of next year. Love it!!!
RollerManic Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I could see a full throttle coaster on the lakefront. Have the top hat over the midway and ditch the vertical loop.
JonnyRCT3 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I don't really follow construction with Six Flags parks. When do materials usually start showing up? May of next year. There is some truth to this.
Genx24 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I could see a YOLOcoaster coaster on the lakefront. Have the top hat over the midway and ditch the vertical loop. But that would eliminate the best part of FT: that awesome hang-time.
terdferg Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Whatever Gradv has picked for this location, will look great next to that lake. Something about rollercoasters near water except for an S&S free spin. It will look like a stack of metal ladders in front of a lake.
RollerManic Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 ^Yeah, I just simply don't think that Freespins are long enough to cover the aesthetics of the lakefront.
woolandmammoth Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Id be a bit disapointed with a freespin, but Id be completely disapointed with a freespin named after a superhero. Please don't let that happen.
B&MIntaminGCI Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Page 1111, Make a wish *Wishes for anything except a free spin*. Just kidding, I mean I won't complain if we get a free spin, as long is it rides like a zipper/similarly. But I also feel like we deserve something greater than a free spin since we're a flagship park and our last roller coaster was used.
Coaster Hero Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Page 1111! Honestly I'd be a bit disappointed if it were a free spin, but at this point it's clearly the most likely option. It would be pretty interesting manipulating the spinning though to make it as insane as possible though . At this point, I might as well just wait until announcement day.
schotj Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Doesn't 6flags usually do their announcements for their parks towards the end of August? When should we expect an announcement for what all the parks will be receiving next year?
DevilsFlight Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Doesn't 6flags usually do their announcements for their parks towards the end of August?

I have to say free spins are some of the ugliest looking creations out there.
boldikus Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 ^ Agreed, they are ugly. It a huge part of my problem with it going in front of the lake. Thank you to Fooz for posting this in the SFFT thread months ago. It still makes me chuckle.
michaellynn4 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I happen to like the way they look. If that "blue" rumor is true, I think it would really pop back there.
