SharkTums Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 ^Yeah, but be careful what you wish for. SFGAd is light years better than SFMM so maybe you don't want more coasters added year after year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGAd is light years better than SFMM so maybe you don't want more coasters added year after year! Oh, we don't. But ripping out essentially 5 coasters ( 2 sides of Chiller, GASM, and 2 sides of RT) in 7 years and replacing them with a cloned indoor mouse and a 15y.o B&M nut-banger is making us very thirsty to see some track on flatbeds come through!

saweetdude05 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Looks like they will be announcing their 2014 addition on August 28th as well. "We're making a big announcement and promise it will be amazing" definitely catches my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onridecentral Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I know the Kingda Ka / El Toro path has been closed for a while now, but I never heard why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I have a feeling it's going to be some coaster in the Rolling Thunder spot. Did we all really believe the "We have to remove RT to make space for the construction of Zumanjaro story"? I didn't think so. I could definitely see a coaster - this park hasn't gotten a big one in a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The S&S free spin. Calling it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't see us getting anything of interest since we just got Zumanjaro and there isn't any visible construction anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilsFlight Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I don't see us getting anything of interest since we just got Zumanjaro and there isn't any visible construction anywhere. I agree 100%. Probably another flat. But we need flats so it isn't too bad. As for SFMM they get coasters every year or every other year. Also SFGAm got X-Flight and Goliath. Even SFFT got Iron Rattler and if the rumor is true then they'll get another coaster this year. I definitely think as arguably the best park in the chain that we could use a few coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro1118 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 My gut feeling is an addition to HH and a flat or two to the park. Any major coaster project, besides a small-sized S&S free spin, is almost out of the question at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 If it is going to be a flat package, please put something BIG... I feel like a giant frisbee would be a perfect fit for the park at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I mean, we have two giant spots in the park cleared and ready for construction. If you look at it that way, Six Flags is actually well ahead of the construction schedule they usually use. Plus, the ride wouldn't have to open until July anyway. Very few other Six Flags parks have teased or have been hyping announcements. The only one that comes to mind is Fiesta Texas. That teasing and hyping sums up to, yes, a single balloon. Perhaps SF doesn't see pre-announcement as a significant marketing strategy and is just going to drop something big out of the clear blue. To be honest, I pushed back my trip to Holiday World because I knew they building a major new coaster. Perhaps they see hyping as a reason for people to wait until next season to come. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strz Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So here I am on the west coast, all excited about my first trip to the park on Wednesday — and I read there's a 100% chance of rain/thunderstorms for Wednesday, not letting up until maybe later in the evening. My. Luck. We have hotel and rental car reservations in Jackson for Tue-Wed, and hotel reservations in NYC (but no rental car) for Thursday through the weekend. I'd hate to let go/eat the reservations and spend extra money on picking another park day, especially if the rain isn't as bad as they say it will be. But I'd also feel like I was wasting money if there's nothing to ride, or the park closes early, should we chance it on Wednesday. And I rarely get over to the east coast. Any NJ folk or park regulars have any advice on whether I should go on Wed or not? A separate rain/SFGAdv forum and other Internet anecdotes say all sorts of different things, but they all pretty much say that thunderstorms usually mean the coasters close and KK closes during any rain (or is too painful in even drizzle). Thanks! Hope you made it to the park today.....my son was there tonight- just came home, and told me it was dead! The (11) rides he had on Zumajaro kinda' sums up how the crowd was tonight.....

DevilsFlight Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I could see a Huss Giant Frisbee like maxair by the Chiller's old station. Maybe one or two small flats in that area and that entire section of the park could reopen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 That space between KK and El toro I would like to see a flat ride like a Giant Discovery and one of these ... GAdv could use another water ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 ^ I've heard those rides are nightmares to maintain (something SFGAdv doesn't need) however, a Mack Super splash could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) ^Cedar Fair and SF have steered clear of these for some reason. SeaWorld parks are the only ones in the US with them. I've only been on JTA @ SWSD & SWSA and loved them both. Edited August 14, 2014 by DJeXeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm really surprised by so much speculation of a ride opening in that spot between Toro and Ka. I guess those who think that haven't been back in that area lately? With the Zumanjaro queue back there they've completely filled it with either fresh, new grass or some sort of landscaping. I highly doubt they would have just spent the money to put all of that greenery there to rip it back up and put new rides in there. There is just not that much space back there unless they were to expand into the old safari entrance and that would require tree removal, the township always has huge issues with this. They have all of this potentially open/unused space in Old Country/Movie Town. Not to mention the lakefront could use some development. I highly highly highly highly doubt anything is going between Toro/Zum/Ka. I'd love it if we got another coaster but something tells me its just going to be a large new flat or package of small flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
