KingRCT3 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wow, the secret special element is a jump from track-to-track, see the latest photo! JK. I'm really looking forward to see this thing is action.

coasterer22 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 An Interesting Article that Ranks Cannibal #2 of the 10 New Coasters featured that Open in 2015. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2015/03/03/10-new-coasters-to-shake-rattle-and-roll-in-2015/ While Cannibal definitely deserves this recognition, I'm not so sure about the inclusion of Six Flags' Mega Loops in this article... Cannibal does however look fantastic and I cannot wait for it to start testing.
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 With some many new coasters coming in 2015, it's hard to choose which theme park to visit!
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2015 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.

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
UtahCoasterRider Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Six Flags attempts to market these are coasters is a joke. Its a silly carnival ride.
Comeagain? Posted March 9, 2015 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.
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2015 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.)
Sfne1313 Posted March 9, 2015 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.

I305forever Posted March 10, 2015 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 Posted March 10, 2015 I still can't believe that Six Flags got away with their horrible marketing scheme.
MagnumFreak25 Posted March 10, 2015 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?"
FaithPlus1 Posted March 10, 2015 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!"
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 It would be so great if Cannibal had creepy jungle music playing while waiting in line. That would be AWESOME!

There's been a lot of these types of lists that have Cannibal high on them for New 2015 Coasters.
cOAstERdUDe117 Posted March 10, 2015 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.)
cOAstERdUDe117 Posted March 10, 2015 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 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!!
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 AWESOME PICTURES! This ride is going to kick some serious . . . BUTT!
