DonkeyBreath Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Snipped from XtremeCoaster From Kristin Siebeneicher-Public Relations Manager for Six Flags Great Adventure: " MEDIA ALERT - September 21, 2005 SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE WILL ANNOUNCE MONSTROUS WOODEN ROLLER COASTER AND NEW KIDS' AREA FOR 2006 When: Release date - Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2005 What: Six Flags Great Adventure, the World's largest regional theme park, will soon announce the details of its dramatic 2006 expansion plans. The announcement will include an enormous, record-breaking wooden roller coaster -- the park's first new wooden coaster since 1978. One of two newly-themed areas - the park's third section devoted to children - will focus solely on families with exciting pint-sized adventures for the littlest thrill seekers."

Guest Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Awesome! I can't wait for the announcement. Record Breaker? That'll be interesting! Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Looks like I'll have to hit SFGAdv a few more times next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yup, I'm glad I live close by. I'm already out of vacation days next year and need to stay local more than this year. I'm looking forward to the announcement, as from what I've heard, this one's looking just as good as the other 2 Intamin woodies. And to think, I'll be riding all three of them in the same year! Bring on that announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I can't think of a better addition to SFNJ than one of these Intamin prefab wooden coasters. Ever since I saw Balder go up I had to ride one of these, and this one is already being described as monstrous, I'm glad to hear it's going to be a "record breaker", I wonder what records they are? Can't wait till '06, between this and Everest I'm amped for next year. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I guess 2006 will be the year for wooden coasters. Woot! lots of new coasters being bult for the 2006 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 I'm really excited about the woodie being a record breaker and the whole new themed area just like with Kingda Ka. A great new ride is wonderful, but the continued overall rehab of the park is far more important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe they will FINALLY steal the record from the Beast-Fun ride, BUT WE NEED LONGER! lol-that would be so cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I'm curious...I don't think the record will be height or length. There's not enough room to go 7600 ft. and I think Six Flags is smart enough not to try to go over 220 ft. with a woodie. Perhaps this ride will feature the most inversions on a woodie, being that they'd only have to have two loops to beat Son of Beast. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think the record-breaker is that it's actually a good woodie at a Six Flags park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I think it will be tallest. I mean, Colossos is only 20 feet shorter than SoB, so it would be easy to beat that with an Intamin woodie. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 My vote is also for tallest...although after talking to a few other enthusiasts I could see them going for steepest drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 A vertical drop :mrgreen:, I mean a vertical drop would have the same amount of -G's as a bunny hop so. I mean I dont get why vertical drop coasters have OTSR's, there are rides that have more -g's with T-Bars than a vertical drop with OTSR's. That would be so cool, A vertical droping woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonKhan Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I'm curious...I don't think the record will be height or length. There's not enough room to go 7600 ft. and I think Six Flags is smart enough not to try to go over 220 ft. with a woodie. That's what you think! Those "Woodies" could handle 300ft without a problem. The navigate the track so smoothly! Now I don't like that on Woodies too much. That's also why I don't like Colossos and Balder that much. They just feel so "no Wood" to me and I basically ride them as any other steel coaster. OF COURSE that does NOT make them bad! And OF COURSE that doesn't mean they are not Woodies! That's just my opinion... The "record" will be height and speed. I'd bet a $100 on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I think the record has to do with drop. Either steepest or tallest. It may not break the height record but could still break the drop record with a tunnel or trench of sorts. Intamin would be the ones to push a coaster like that... and at least we shouldn't have to worry about the coaster being as rough as SOB if they did!

benzo41190 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well after Balder and Colussos, I dont think it will be rough. BTW, new Intamin Woodies dont use steel wheels right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
