Cannibal does however look fantastic and I cannot wait for it to start testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 With some many new coasters coming in 2015, it's hard to choose which theme park to visit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ^ ALL OF THEM, of course! and... While Cannibal definitely deserves this recognition, I'm not so sure about the inclusion of Six Flags' Mega Loops in this article... I think it's total crap that these coaster wannabes (i.e. Ring-s Of Fire) are being passed off as "coasters." That's all I got. Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a Park can Market a Ride as they Choose, but when they go out of their way to claim something that isn't true, it's a different story. I wonder if someone will sue them for false advertisement! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtahCoasterRider Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Six Flags attempts to market these are coasters is a joke. Its a silly carnival ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeagain? Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 If you complain that's not a coaster then you should complain about powered kiddie coasters too. They're both powered completely through a small circular course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ^ That's really a separate argument, IMhO. This just seems like blatant dumbness on Six Flags' part. (And pardon for this separate discussion.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfne1313 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Six flags hasn't done anything wrong. LArson calls them coasters on their website, so SFI isn't to blame, Larson is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I305forever Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 ^I knew someone would say that! At this list got most of it's facts right though, unlike this one http://www.buzzfeed.com/staceygrant/all-of-the-nope#.jrQ2me9ap I'm pretty sure this also appeared on dumbest GP comments thread.

Paradox Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I still can't believe that Six Flags got away with their horrible marketing scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 They didn't over here. Everyone who saw that was like, "wait isn't that just one of those fireball things at carnivals?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithPlus1 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Larson is the TJ Max of the Coaster world. "Hey, come buy park rides that noone else wanted! We'll give it to ya cheap!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 It would be so great if Cannibal had creepy jungle music playing while waiting in line. That would be AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a lot of these types of lists that have Cannibal high on them for New 2015 Coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOAstERdUDe117 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This was taken by UtahByAir on Instagram, no major construction changes as of right now, but the workers are working the minor things, and hopefully they should be testing this week. Until then, enjoy!! (The image is a little small, and blurry, but it's what's there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOAstERdUDe117 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 SuperDude123 from LIF has informed me that Lagoon is going to be aiming for a Friday-Saturday window for testing the trains. Expect some amateur footage, but we're still unsure if lagoon will do a POV video like Carrowinds did with Fury325, and we all saw how viral that video went. Stay tuned.

cOAstERdUDe117 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 So SuperDude123's friend got these really cool close up shots from the jobsite of Cannibal! First ever inside the waterfall tunnel, up close on the brake run facade, and a closeup of the mystery "red-fire" launch track section. Courtesy of SuperDude123 from LIF. Enjoy!!
