isitlunchtimeyet Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ^Nice report. Yeah people (including myself) in the area curse left and right. It's bad. And was that op at Bizarro Brian by any chance? I've worked with him a bunch of times and he knows his stuff. And how I see things is that GADV already has a great coaster line up. We could go another year or two without adding a new coaster. Instead, I think the park should just fill in the gaps and try and round out the flat ride collection. Even adding back in the shows the park has lost over the years would be beneficial. I don't think the park really needs something like an El Toro 2.0 right now haha Other Six Flags parks could use new coasters over GADV so I wouldn't have a problem with if we didn't get a coaster. I agree. We have a better lineup than CP and SFMM even though they have more. To be honest, half of what SFMM has is junk. I totally agree that other SF parks deserve more. SFOT is their flagship park and hasn't received a "new" coaster since Titan. I'd love to see The Great Escape or SFA get a major coaster as they are pretty close to me.

He's a coaster fanatic haha and no, I actually haven't worked at the park since mid-July. I should be back next year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilsFlight Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Does anyone else know if Zumanjaro sways? I went on it twice and only once was Ka running. That time it was shaky at the top. If anyone else notices it please say so because it was also making a weird clunking noise too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Toro_Ryan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I heard a new clue from management after a quick chit chat. Next year may or may not have something to do with Kingda Ka. Let the speculation begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJStephens15 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 KK trains turned backwards and marketed as a brand new You Only Live Once experience? In all seriousness I would be excited to see lap bar trains but I can't imagine that would happen. Maybe they'll figure out a way to get approval for KK/Zu to run together?

saweetdude05 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 My guess is also new trains, but not lap bar trains, ones with the vest restraints similar to I305 to help with the head banging. With the vests, I could see them turning the trains around for a season...Kingda Ka: Reverse Blast along with Namtab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJStephens15 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I actually think having backwards trains on Ka would take away from the experience. Half of the fun of the ride is sitting there staring up at the tower waiting to be launched, imo. Although I realize that the chances of this happening are slim-none.

saweetdude05 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ^My only concern with the Intamin winged seats would be clearance issues during the twists up and dow the tower, the train already gets pretty close to some of those supports.

neil009 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Getting the wing coaster trains is an interesting idea, though those wing seats would be rough as hell. I doubt that's possible of course. The inverting top hat idea is also unlikely, but I would personally hate to see that happen. As long as it's still the tallest, I think you deserve to be upright when you reach that moment. I know the ejector airtime hill idea is extremely unlikely but I'd still love to see it happen. It wouldn't change the ride's footprint, and it would make the ride from a one-trick pony into a two-trick pony. Conversely, they could also make it the world's tallest vertical loop (though that wouldn't be as much fun). Physics question: couldn't the world's tallest airtime hill also hold the record for the single longest sustained moment of airtime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Toro_Ryan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Sorry guys, I was just messing with you. I do have more information but I don't believe next year involves Kingda Ka. This is confirmed from management that the new attraction will unfortunately not be in Old Country next year. My guess is that the Old Country area is being saved for a huge new attraction down the road. Hopefully Rolling Thunder's old spot gets used for next year. Physics question: couldn't the world's tallest airtime hill also hold the record for the single longest sustained moment of airtime? Most likely if the hill is designed to offer such airtime. That would be awesome if a park went for something like that. The tallest hill could also have no airtime if it was designed to do so.

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ^^I don't know, a 300+ foot vertical loop would be pretty awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoGuy Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 We have a better lineup than CP lol Yeah, Im sorry this line caught me a little off-guard too. I dont want to argue but what makes you say that? For El Toro, theres Maverick; For Nitro, theres Milennium; For Kingda Ka, theres TTD; For Batman theres Raptor...and thats pretty much the main coasters in GAdv's lineup, no? Is there some sort of obvious comparison Im missing that makes CP's lineup inferior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some sort of obvious comparison Im missing that makes CP's lineup inferior? For GL there is Mantis. Neither are that great, but CP still has Magnum, Blue Streak, and Gate Keeper. Hell Im a big fan of Gemini. I really like SFGADV as its my second favorite Six Flags Park behind SFFT. But come on, to say their lineup is better than CP's is very laughable. And no I am not a CP fanboy and I know every coaster they have is not awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
