Most Anticipated Coasters For 2016

[Yubstep101]

All aboard the hype train for the Cedar Point Dive Coaster!

[Manic Monte]

My most anticipated ride is a Six Flags project that hasn't even been hinted at yet, and I'm shocked it's stayed so under wraps.

Six Flags has kept things incredibly hushed so far!

Are you talking Great Adventure?

Definitely Roar at SFDK, finally an RMC less than hour from my house

Yes.

[Geauga Dog]

So far from what has been announced and what seems likely at the moment:

 

CP Dive Coaster/Valravn - I love Griffon and am happy that I'll have one only an hour from me.

 

Monster - Been wanting to go to Adventureland for a long time and next year will be a good chance to visit. I can't help but be excited for this ride,

 

Storm Chaser - I wanted to wait to see what KK had in store for the former Twisted Twins before venturing to the park and now it will make a Kings Island, Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World trip one of the most thrilling mini-vacations next year.

 

Really look forward to hearing more announcements within the next month.

New Roar at SFDK for sure. RMC 30 minutes away, who could ask for anything more?

[ccoolguy2003]

Six flags great adventure isn't under wraps. They are getting the s and s ride. Big disappointment but that's what's all the rumors are saying.

[CoasterFEV]

Of course I'm a little biased, but I am DEFINITELY excited about the developing "theme park war" here in the UAE.

 

Personally....I can think of no less than a dozen new coasters opening in 2016 in the Dubai/Abu Dhabi region.

It's going to be one heck of an exciting year here in the UAE!

[KBrylczyk]

^ Sooooo what you're saying is I should totally be looking into airfare to Dubai?

Be great to see you out in the UAE for a visit, Kyle! Got some great stuff in the works....you would have a blast here!

I doubt Great Adventure is getting an S&S for a few reasons. First, there is no actual reasonable hints really besides Fort Independence being a good fit for a ride like that. Have we seen a newspaper article saying Great Adventure is interested in something like that? Have we seen track show up at the park? That's what I thought. Second, the fenced off area at Great Adventure for the 2016 attraction is WAY bigger than what an S&S could hold. And a doubt the queue line for the ride would extend that whole area. I'm predicting a bigger better coaster for 2016, and so far, the plot of land is telling me that will probably (and hopefully) happen.

Hope ur right. I would love a giga around 300 ft but most likely a wing coaster over the lake.

Yeah I'm thinking Gradv might just have a surprise up their sleeves. Because even a bigger version of the free spin 4d wouldnt require such a huge land clearing, they could plop that down essentially anywhere in that huge park. My guess is something big, maybe a B&M or possibly a 4D like X2 since S&S owns the technology to that.

Six Flags St. Louis's new hyper coaster

I know people speculated that the new GAdv coaster might be called that "Total Mayhem" name, assuming it's the S&S Free Spin. But I have been suspecting for a while now that they would receive the marquee addition for the chain in 2016, and that it would be big. When I read somewhere that the name "Titan" had been trademarked again (or something along those lines) I immediately suspected that this would be the name of whatever GAdv was getting. I guess we'll know in less than a month!

[coastercrazi]

valravn

[boldikus]

Obviously I'm interested in whatever Great Adventure is getting (fingers crossed for a BIGGER Full Throttle clone in front of the lake), but I think at this point since its so close to me and looks so cool my answer is Gale Force @ Playland (Ocean City). Also curious to know what other parks near me have up their sleeve - Hershey, Dorney, SFA, Morey's, etc. Not expecting coasters for those but you never know...

[Imagineer Josh]

I'm most excited for Valravn. Why? I found this picture on Cedar Point's Facebook page!

 

[DILinator]

So for now, I would have to say "Shot Rod" at Dollywood is my most anticipated 2016 coaster, especially if it turns out to be everything it's rumored to be!

 

This all could change depending on what Cedar Point announces, or any other surprise announcements (Michigan's Adventure, for instance!), but I suspect it'll be hard to top what "Shot Rod" is shaping up to be!

 

This was my post in this thread on July 15... Nailed it!

 

I honestly can't imagine anything SF is going to announce will top Lightning Rod, and assuming all this Valravn stuff is correct, that doesn't top it. So, yeah... I'll stick with my initial gut feeling and go with Dollywood's forthcoming gem!

[UrbanLegend]

Is there a master list anywhere of upcoming park announcements for 2016? The only ones I know of right now are Cedar Point on Aug. 18, and Carowinds Aug. 27

[Coaster Hero]

KD's is sometime this month (it said in a news article that it would be mid-August) and I know SF's announcements are September 3rd

[A.J.]

Lightning Rod, because I'll actually be able to make the drive and go ride it.

[MagnumFreak25]

Personally it has to be Valravn because its the only major new ride I'm sure ill be able to ride. But for what I think is going to be the best ride overall it has to go to either Flying Aces or Taron.
