  1. Yeah, but not only straight sections like we have. And as usual, you most likely already know for sure what is coming like every year, and we all know you would not give it away.
  2. What are we supoosed to be looking at? I see alot of curved Track, when our part's are straight, and rusted like they were used.
  3. Nice!! Thank's for sharing. Not what i was expecting, but i will pass it along to some that work in Construction and find out EXACTLY what they are.
  4. The diference with the "10 Element" is only 2 more Cars, and only 1 more extra can be on the circut at any given time. We went over all this last year when posting about "Total Mayhem", the diff in Capacity is nothing really. It wouldn't have made much of a difference at GA, it was low either way for our Park. "Capacity" is not that high on the Park's priority list anyway. Thing's are starting up now though, we will all know soon. And i have someone going to the Park to grab shot's of what's by Nitro's Lift backstage (not Binetti, although he offered to grab pics but didn't make it to the Park tonight) Before the week is up will know what's out there.
  5. I mean they could get a S&S i guess, but i think that site is too big for an S&S Freespin like our's. Unless they are getting the bigger, "10 element" one. Chickola did pretty much confirm it in an interview that a Six Flags Park will be getting the bigger version very soon. A Park like that would benefit much more getting the bigger one than we would have. But if that is the case, it open's up another Park to get a "JL" also.
  6. Yes SFOG is getting a "Justice League", and it wasn't Screamscape that said they are not, it's that other site he linked. And they base their idea that they are not getting a "JL" because they are clearing a 2 Acre site, and a "JL" Building is only a Half-Acre (20,000 sq ft). But along with the Building has to come axcess Road's in the Rear of it for service and Maintinance, and the front area will have a "Courtyard" or whatever you want to call it in front of the "Hall Of Justice" Facade. I said before i'll put money on it i am so confident of it. But i guess it will take 2 year's of being right for anyone to to believe me. Like i said last year, time will tell.
  7. Baisically I said that SFOG now, with the Park's Rep stating that the addition SFOG is getting, is NOT a "1st of it's kind", and it is very "cutting edge" or "high tech" ( i forget what the exact phrase used was) with those comment's, SFOG is most likely getting a "JL" and with MM the other prime canidate for "JL", Great Adventure IS NOT GETTING A JL IN 2017. Like i have been saying for a couple month's now, and now were getting some vague confirmation of that, that will only get stronger as time passes. And the T-Rex is over the development Phase, it has been in development for well over a year in May of this year. In May of 2016 Six Flag's sent out the T-Rex animation, if they put that out in May of last year, it had to have been pretty far along at that point for them to have an animation of it. And if they made the 1st Full SIze piece of Track for it back in November of last year, by this point they are well into production. That's why i want some RMC Plant pics, i am alomost certain there is T-Rex Track being stacked up in that Yard somewhere.
  8. SFOG's Park Spokesman (who has a last name very similar to mine) has stated, and i quote "that what we are getting for 2017 is NOT a first of it's kind, the attraction is already out there in Amusement Park Land". WIth that stement we can rule out any "T-Rex" for SFOG. The process of elimination has begun with the teaser's that other Park's have started to put out.
  9. It's just a big inconvienience having to go all the way around to get from Big Bam Boo, to Big Wave Racer when they are 20ft apart. But this line of Logic the Park is showing in HH, is exactly why i think that the only place a "JL" will go is in the Boardwalk. This is a perfect example of that, just like making us walk thru the Boardwalk to get from Ka to Diablo when they could easily make a path to the left of Diablo, that would bring you directly across from Ka's Station. They won't pass up a chance to get more people going in the Boardwalk.
  10. Did they open the Path up in HH with the "Cove" opening?
  11. It could be stuff for 2017, but nothing to do with a Ride. We are having a whole section come back, not just a new ride. I'm thinking that if it is a Coaster though, a Fence would prob have to go up across right past the "TDK", and that is a pretty wide stretch over to the Stunt Arena.
  12. Why? Were you Hyped up we had Fences? If everyone seem's to be ruling out that they are Fences. Flat pieces of Steel are used sometimes to make Footer Boxes for the Cement, but Park's usually make their own out of Wood reinforced with Steel rebar. I'd have to see how big the Steel pieces are. They are scared to take a pic of them going up "Nitro" lol.
  13. I agree, but the only thing working against that is they said they spotted them going up "Nitro's" Lift. Looking down on piled Fence Section's they wouldn't appear as Solid Pieces Of Steel, you would see the Chain Link from that angle looking down on them.
  14. That's what i was thinking, but "Flat Steel" just don't sound like Fencing to me. But who know's with the person that posted it, and how they interpret thing's they see lol.
  15. It's just came up on Social Media, and other's then commented on it saying they have seen it today also. I am not really sure at this point. The "JL" Building they just put up has corrugated wall's, not flat ones. I need Pics, could tell what they are used for if I saw them. And my thinking is that if they are putting thing's over by "Nitro", they wouldn't be ending up being used say by "The Fort", they would put them then in the Eploration Station Lot, or anywhere over there on that side of the Lot. The new stuff is Prob near where they stored "Total Myhem's" Part's for that couple month's they sat back there, out of the way.
  16. Sorry for the double post, but i wanted the time stamp to be current with the News that it look's like the 1st Sign of 2017 has shown up today. A load of what is being called "Flat pieces of Steel" and a whole lot of Wooden Fencing is coming into the Employee Lot over by "Nitro". With it being dropped off there, "Old Country" is where it's going whatever it's for. And i am really happy with how early it is coming, mean's it's big, or it will be alot of work.
  17. If they did do the "Dueler", it would compliment our collection perfectly, and be totally different than anything we currently have. And it's another reason it seem's plausable. We have the "Tallest in the World" still with "Kingda Ka", and "Nitro" at over 200ft. If they went bigger than "Nitro" with something like a "Fury 325", it would make "Nitro" obsolete and kill it's appeal, it would make it "secondary" instead of one of our "Big 3" Coaster's. A launcher with Innversion's would be a great compliment to our collection, as would another Woodie. I still think it's just wild that in the whole History of the Park we have only had 2 Woodies (3 if count the Tracks seperate on Rolling Thunder) but i think a Wood Coaster on that side of the Park would be a great fit as well. And one of those new RMC Compact Wood designs would fit in the "Chiller/Musik Express" spot also.
  18. For the question about the "Dueler", yeah the layout was VERY similar to "Twisted Colussus", and had some of the same element's shown in the RMC T-Rex Animation (what GA showed was the exact same animation RMC used on their T-Rex vid, but 6 months before they announced the T-rex) But instead of the "overbank's" for direction changes like on "TC", on the Dueler they were interlocking Dive Loop's that got the direction changes on the two back turns that would get it running along the Parking Lot Fence, and then the turn to get it heading back to the Station. And on the stretch that would run along the Parking Lot Fence, was an "in-line" over the other Track instead of a Stall like on "TC". But instead of Lift's it was Launches and if the Station was in Chiller's Spot, they would go thru the Observatory, before hitting overbank's on that first turn after going thru the Observatory. Then the Track's crossed over each other a couple time's "dueling" along the stretch before the Dive Loop's and the rest of the course. Then one Track went into the Break Run, and the other went thru the Station and the second Launch to run the course on the other side, "mobius" style. So Six Flags knew about the T-Rex at least 6 month's before it was announced, and if they were showing an Animation 6month's before it was announced, they had to of known about it at least a few month's before that. That's why i think they developed it together, as a way for Six Flag's to start making 200ft Steel Coaster's again, for half the price. And if they make a launcher, it would even be cheaper without all that height. That's why i think it is a likely option. Someone is getting a T-Rex in the Chain somewhere for 2017.
  19. I don't think next year for "JL", 2018. Someone mentioned a few post's back about all our Speculation, but if it's evidence you want, all the real evidence we have had point's to a T-Rex. I just have bot been saying it much lately, because i have heard nothing new, but that in itself is something if you want to read into it. And after last year, and how the Park reacted after blowing "Total Mayhem" for them, i am. But the main thing is the Survey that showed us the "Dueler" T-Rex with a layout that would fit almost exactly the area around the "Old Country", starting out where "Chiller" was. The fact that they surveyed all the land where the Track's would run, in the Wooded area along the Parking Lot Fence (the upper course in that old layout i just posted). All that area was just surveyed at the start of last year (I posted the pics the day they were doing it last year) and all inside the "Old Country" was already surveyed, and marked out before that for the Fence. Then it finally got out that "Chiller" was already removed, and how quiet they wanted it kept knowing it would fuel the T-Rex speculation if it got out back then. But that is about all we really have this year so far. The only evidence of anything, is a T-Rex. I mean, i would love it if we got what that layout showed. It would "fix" all the issues "Chiller" had, and finally realize that concept, and replace something we did for many, many, year's and lost. The racing on "Rolling Thunder". With one ride, it would really bring alot back to us, more than any other one ride would. But if it looked like something else was coming, i would be stating that, but the little we have had this year, does point to a T-Rex.
  20. And i consider "Zumanjaro" as "Big", got us a Record with it. And it cost alot more than they originally planned on also. Do we have a final number on "Zumanjaro's" price tag? Just curious, but i'm sure with all the support's that were added to the Tower, plus the ride itself, had to have been ten's of Million's, but under 20. Think that's a good guess if "The Joker" is 7mil.
  21. If a Legoland open's within driving distance, it will take Guest's from us. I was and still am surprised at how much land "Legoland" are planning to buy. 500 acre's is alot. But they said they will only purchase the land in that Town, if the Town is 100% with them on the Project. I'm sure there will be some opposition, have to watch and see how it all plays out.
  22. I just found an old drawing that was posted here, way back in 2014 that is probably more relavent now than any of us know. And on another note, Legoland is looking to have a new Resort open by 2019-2020, an hr and a half above Manhattan, and 2.5hrs from Philly. Some serious competition will be good thing for Guest's, they will have to "Go Big" to compete. That is a big chunk of out Guest's that will be going to Legoland with a 250 Room Motel, to start with. They are buying 500 Acres, and will open with 150 Developed.
  23. Seaport need's a do-over bad, and "DC Kids" would be a perfect fit over there.
  24. Would have to walk the Path down in the "Old Country" and look over the Fences to really see good if anything is going on. And walk along the Parking Lot Fence from that little "turnaround" spot just past the Bus Stop's, toward the Front Gate. Walk along all the way up to where it turn's into the "Picnic Grove", in that unused Wooded area is where the survey marking's were/are.
  25. It's a perfect spot for a Station, Shed, and Transfer Track though. Just like it was once before (without the Transfer)
