Its always fun spreading rumors, so why not make one

here, if u have any rumors about upcoming coasters or things to do with parks share

them.

I only have one rumor, the next coaster for SFGAm might be a

S&S air launched or a Intamin Rocket coaster.

[coasterfreak11]

cedar point is gettin a flying coaster sometime either

2004 or 2005

[BaSeBaLlPlAyA392]

SFGADV getting a woodie 2005, SFWOA getting a

hyper sometime, BGW getting the worlds largest floorless.

[sfmm_freak]

SFMM is getting a coaster this next season (2004)

wat it is i dont know, brobably a record breaker or soemthing.

[Shamu]

Baseball, that would be awesome for BGW! I

hope it really happens!

[CostaKid]

Honestly I dont think SFMM will get a record breaker.

It doesn't have enough room unless it takes down another coaster. N-E-Way its

not a rumor but i hope SFMM gets a few flat rides. Or a S&S power tower.

[sfmm_freak]

^ rememeber its Sfmm, the Six Flags

Corpration's pride and joy, they will do anything to get a new coaster, especially

a record breaker. Any thing to beat out CP. And SFMM needs Flats <span

[CostaKid]

I wouldn't care if SFMM didn't get another

coaster for two years as long as it got some decent flat rides, cleaned it up, and took

better care of the coasters they have now. But seeing how they are SF, they are most

likely go for some sort of first and it will be poorly themed and after 4 years will be run

down.

Do

you remeber my rant in that CP vs. SFMM topic?





Plus

SFMM is not running outta space, neither is CP.....

And please keep in mind

that these "rumors" are ridiculouss....

SFGADV getting a woodie 2005, SFWOA

getting a hyper sometime, BGW getting the worlds largest floorless.

SFGAdv could get a woodie,

SFWOA is not getting a hyper, there is something like a 200ft ceiling for them, and

huge coasters like that are not worth investing both time, money and space. BGW will

not get the "worlds largest floorless" BGW is all about a nice looking park,

and having a huge loud floorless would look ugly and kill the whole atmosphere.....I

could see them getting a Flyer though..... Imangine that, a flyer going through the

forest like BBW......*drools*.....

I only

have one rumor, the next coaster for SFGAm might be a S&S air launched or a

Intamin Rocket coaster.

SFGam

could get an S&S Power, but they deffinatly won't be getting a Rocket

Coaster. After seeing how X actually hurt SFMM, SF is investing in reliable

coasters, and seeing how Xcelerator is still having problems and TTD hurting CP

matenice wise. SF will be smart and get a more reliable ride for their

parks....

SFMM is getting a coaster this next season

(2004) wat it is i dont know, brobably a record breaker or soemthing.

They probably will get a

coaster, but not a record breaker or anything like that, it just costs too much, I can see

them putting in a family ride or something small like that.....Something to bump up the

coaster count, but not to compete with CP!

I think this

thread should be changed to Ride Wishes, not rumors....

Rumors start with

a kernal of truth, and from what people have posted, they are just fictionous things

coming outta their head......

I do seriously hope that SFSTL gets some

cash to repaint and retrack some parts of the Screamin' Eagle. That ride could

easily be a top-ten coaster with a new coat of paint and some smoothing....

Plus SFSTL needs a lotta Febreeze to make the place smell a little better...

Six Flags being smart, that'll be

the day...

[CoasterCrazy]

Tyrant, i doubt sfgam will get a rocket coaster but if u

read some stuff at sfgamworld.com u could see that a s&s power AT2k is a real

possibility.

[MillenniumMan310]

Sfgadv might definetly get a woodie but not in 2005 but

maybe next year. Gadv is going into there 30th season so they defently need to

celebrate it with something big. The 3 biggest rumors out there are a freefall tower, a

woodie, or a B&M vertical drop coaster. I dought the vertical drop coaster

because sf gadv cant build tunnels so the ride cant be like oblivion. The woodie is

very possible since its been several years since theve got a wooden and theres a very

nice space behind medusa and the log form for a nice wooden to go. A freefal tower

is possible because its something big for the 30th aniversery and its not a coaster for

the second year in a row. The only problem is due to the airbase by gadv they have a

stict height restriction and cant go to the height of drop zone but S&S toweres are

possible. My personal opinion is a stand up coaster (riddlers revenge) in the area of

movie town behind stuntmans freefall and next to the water tower. This would be

awsome and likley because is been a few years since a gothom coaster and gadvs

past 3 coasters have been by B&M. Even though stand ups have been gone for

a while i think there due for a come back. Hey if Hershey can get a looping rocket

coaster then anythings possible.

I just wanted to get every thing straight

about gadv since its my home town park its the one i have the most opinion and

knowledge on about next year. I could type rumors about other parks but i dont have

as much knowledge as i do on Six Flags Great Adventure.

tower, a woodie, or a B&M vertical drop coaster. I dought the vertical drop

coaster because sf gadv cant build

tunnels

Huh? It doesn't

make sense that a park isn't allowed to make tunnels. PLus no one is going to

buy a B&M Vertical drop coaster. Its not only because its a one-trick-pony, its

also the extreme cost of it.....

The whole coaster itself doesn't cost

that much (around $10 million I think) but the enormous cost of the cars is what

kills it. Each car is around $100,000. And Alton Towers is running with 8 cars,

and prob two more in storage, so 10 cars equals around $10 million extra dollars

for the whole coaster. Its just too much....

A Woodie is prob not going to

happen, SF knows that most people want steelies(General Public, not coaster entusits)

and wooden coasters cost a lot, plus tons of matience (sp?). In fact, because the

mechanics have to walk the track every morning @ SFSTL on both the Boss and

Screamin' Eagle the Old Chicago and Brittaina section have to open around

11AM, not at the 10AM opening time......

So I would say an S&S

Power vertical launch ride is the best possiblity, also considering that SF has already

done business with S&S Power (STOP @ SFT).....

I

Believe you mean STOP @ SFOT, not SFT, sorry had to put it in I live in

Dallas

[MillenniumMan310]

What i ment by gadv cant build tunnels is there water

table is too high so the are unable to build underground or ditches. Your right about

the whole expence thing about the b&m vertical drop coaster, i am not sure

where that rumor started our why but it is a rumor.

[Tyrant]

It prob started with a "rumor" page like

this....

BTW SFSTL is getting a 500ft hyper next year!



-Tyrant

[coasterfreak11]

i only wish! if they did i would go there on

opening day...they prolly are not gettin anythign!! THEY NEED A NEW

GOOD COASTER!!!!

[BaSeBaLlPlAyA392]

getting a hyper, there is






something like a 200ft ceiling for them,

SFWOA has a ceiling in the one county they are in. They are trying to get a higher

height restriction in the other county though. Busch Gardens is happy with Kraken,

and atmosphere? What about Alpengeist?
