Brassinthegrass Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 OK, enough of the lil Ka names (plus we all know it be Kingda Cub) I threw this together to give a better idea on what we could be discussing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Kaby... Something like Maverick would be amazing for that spot! But who said RMC only makes insane woodies? They can make tame coaster if they wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 That image makes sense. That'd work. And that'd balance out the crowds from being heavy on one side. And I like the fact that a woodie would be on each half of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsFlight Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 ^^ A maverick style coaster would fit great in the park. A family out and back woodie like a smaller comet hersheypark would fit great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I like that layout. It would open that area up really well. An RMC or GCI Twister would work, and like everyone else has said, a Maverick style coaster would work well. Hell, I wouldn't mind a dive machine or a Eurofighter, simply for diversification. But I think this area should most definitely the focus of SFGadv, if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 As for the KK thing, there is a MAJOR contrast between a coaster with one crazy launch and a 456ft tophat and a coaster with multiple launches, sub-150ft in height, and multiple inversions and other elements. I could easily see them themimg it to as KK's son or something too. Agree. That would be funny "Mini Ka!" ...Kinda Ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generational Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Of course, I wouldn't mind something like Helix going into the "high-thrill" spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsFlight Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I thought we were done with the mini ka names. Anyway, if the renovation of the east side is what's in store, im worried that RT would be another chiller. Maybe a flat ride would make it more than just Toro and tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Like I mentioned before, the park would benefit with a "War on Lines" for the Eastern side of the park. Also, it would match the relentless pace in which SFGadv has been adding attractions and such in recent years. First with Kingda Ka(which brought an entire new area to the park), then El Toro(which remodeled/themed an area of the park that was lacking), then the remodeling of Medusa, then Z:DOD. Hopefully this means they aren't about to let up. I view the Adventure Alley addition as the first step in the process. However, the park still has many areas they need to address. Upgrade flats What to do with the baboons? Something will happen. Rebuild the Rolling Thunder plot and possibly expand eastward. Reconnect and reconstruct the closed area from the Batmans' to the main path. Redo the Kingdom of the Tiger area. Luckily the park is not broken as has the resources to address all this, just not all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Does anyone think that SFGadv will do something next year for KK's 10th anniversary? ^ There are just so many little things I feel they have overlooked over the years that has put them in this spot to begin with. I think the RT plot should come last, as it is the most recent, and there is still plenty of time to decide on what to do with that. It will probably come down to a season to season thing, doing R&R on different areas that have needed it for the longest amount of time, and slowly it'll shape up.

Vault Boy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Last time I checked,(4:30) it was still not open. However from the parking lot I could see the MCBR and there was a train stationary with a bunch of mechanics. Hopefully it will open soon so we can have our floater air back!

YoshiFan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I hope it opens up soon, I'm trying to go to the park either Sunday or Monday. Nitro and Kingda Ka closed will really make the other ride lines longer (I know Easter Sunday usually has low crowds but there is a concert this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vault Boy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Yea, the concerts are defiantly making the park a lot more crowded then it usually is this early in the season. Going back tomorrow and will be sure to give a trip report on Nitro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolandmammoth Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The obvious areas for a new addition are in the chiller's old spot and in Rolling Thunder's new spot. However, everyone is forgetting all about the old Koala Canyon spot. They recently leveled the Fun Factory (Indoor foam play ground) in the seaport. This actually gives way to a nice slice of land on the water. This isn't a half bad spot for either a family wooden coaster or a more thrilling addition. I could see the addition of two coasters. One being a family wooden in that spot and the other being a more thrilling addition by the chiller. I do not thing that a new coaster will be plopped into RT's plot. I think that space is going to be used to expand into the now vacant parts of the safari. This opens up domain for several large additions without removing existing ones. Also if I recall correctly Jackson Township isn't so keen on tree removal. The safari is mostly wide open, treeless empty space perfect for expansion. Also keep in mind that the park has not received any major capital expansions since El Toro. That was in 2006. Since then the only installations were A sky screamer, Medusa was painted blue and a flamethrower was added, a relocated 10+ year old B&M stand-up already that is already sworn off by the GP, A wild mouse in a box, and the safari that we already had. It kind of seams like six flags has been 'buying time' with these additions. 2015 seems to be the year where we find out what they have been working on.

DevilsFlight Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 ^I'm sure no one thought of that! That's very interesting. You are on point when you say that RTs spot will most likely be used for expansion. That area of the seaport is terrible. A family out and back near the lake would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
