Mind Eraser Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've also heard that GADV is not getting SWAT. I heard they are getting at least one ride, though - a Rock 'n' Tug, if I recall. Then again, plans are always changing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 If they vote Snyder in he wont close Astro World so SWAT will not be going any where. Astroworld's closing is a done deal Snyder or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I've heard (from several generally reliable sources), that SWAT is going to SFGAdv, and that one of the Schwarzkopf coasters (either Viper or Zonga) is going to SFNE. Uhh, Zonga is at SFMW, not Astroworld... Chances are, its Viper, because the park already has a shuttle coaster (Flashback), unless the park wanted a launched ride, then it would be Greezed Lightnin'.

MF310ryb Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 If I'm not mistaken I read an article that Snyder threatened to sue SFI for them selling off the asset and or selling off any other assets. He wanted to put a freeze on it. Cedar Fair was looking to buying that park as well so anything is possible. When you run a multi billion company you can manipulate anything.

I never claimed it was from MW, just that it was a Schwarzkopf coaster. I have heard rumors that it's Zonga coming form MW, and that it's Viper coming from AW. Also note I mentioned my sources are "generally reliable". With Six Flags, there is no such thing as a definite plan. Last minute changes occur constantly in their planning process. It's not like Disney where things are planned 5 or 10 years in advance. If I'm not mistaken I read an article that Snyder threatened to sue SFI for them selling off the asset and or selling off any other assets. He wanted to put a freeze on it. Cedar Fair was looking to buying that park as well so anything is possible. The article stated that he would sue to stop them if they tried to sell any other assets and that he was opposed to the sale. He implied that Cedar Fair was interested, but by all accounts he simply extrapolated that idea from their conference called when they made the blanket statement they were "always looking to make strategic purchases". They never expressed a specific interest in AW. Also, I'm sure the price they would be willing to pay is probably much less than the land the park sits on is worth.

Mind Eraser Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Someone on RRC just posted that it is now "confirmed" that SWAT is going to Six Flags Elitch Gardens. I guess we'll know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I'm beginning to think they're just going to send a piece of it to each park in the chain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
