amen to this

Possessed was possibly my favorite ride when I visited Dorney and I would love an impulse! But I honestly doubt we will get one, they just aren't the 'trend' anymore. The most logical thing to do is a wingrider but considering its already august and we've seen nothing then I don't see it happening.

As much as I want a new coaster, the park needs some flats.

So I rode Zumanjaro and Ka yesterday, it was about a 25 minute wait for Ka and 35 for Zumanjaro. Now Zumanjaro I think was worth the wait, the adrenaline rush I got was uncomparable. But the problems I have are those ugly fields of grass left from Rolling Thunder ewww. It's a hole in the area that is usually so beautiful and jungle-fied, now it's just plain open grass and I don't like it. And they need their permits, badly, because the system works, but its a slow system (3 ka for 1 zumanjaro) and the zumanjaro line much more than the kingda ka line suffers significantly.

Although it is a great ride, it's no secret that Bizarro's attendance is lacking, a lot. When Bizarro "re"-opened in 09 it was a hit for I'd say two years. Then after that attendance dropped on it severely, and things have been removed such as audio and mist and I think fire now? which makes these rumors surface. It's a great coaster, but not a great attendance bringer. Now the thing is that it would be a horrible move to remove Bizarro for a new coaster because not for anything, Bizarro's spot is awful as it is. So even though it seems like its going I don't see it going. And here's an optimistic view.... maybe the new coaster (hopefully) for next year is so just big, so amazing, so new, that Six Flags is keeping their mouth shut out of suspense. And also not for anything Zumanjaro the "new" ride just opened so announcing something new for next year when this year's new just opened is just kind of odd, so that could be another reason for waiting if (again hopefully) there is to be a new coaster.

Honestly its a great ride in a bad spot, possibly my favorite coaster. The feeling it gives you is great, I just miss the effects of course. But it really isn't bad, and if it was where superman is I bet it'd be as popular as Superman if not more, so I hope it doesn't get removed.

I've been hearing rumors of Bizarro closing, that's kind of interesting...

Ahhh I see, looks like I'll be going on the 3rd then

That's ridiculous! They told me it was closed even though I'm a season pass holder, how on Earth did you get on?!

I honestly think a big(ish) new coaster will be coming next year, almost definetely in Old Country or Rolling Thunder(Space is pretty small though) Heres why: -There is plenty of new coaster space, space that is literally screaming "Give me a roller coaster now" -Attendance is obviously dropping, and even though we are still the second most visited Six Flags park (SFMM is first), it won't be that way for long if our game isn't stepped up. -Green Lantern was our last addition and even though its big, lets be honest its not good. -SFGA makes Six Flags lots of mula compared to other parks, and Six Flags needs to keep it that way and to keep it that way a coaster needs to come our way. -For Great Adventure 3 years without a coaster is 3 years too many. Honestly yes lots of work needs to be done around the park. I honestly think the park needs a rehaul, from the broken down pathways to ugly unpainted buildings to the parking lot. It needs work. But redoing the park for little attendance is just idiotic. Now onto why I think this new coaster will be a wingrider.. -SFGAm and us are very alike and it just makes sense to keep the trend because it means success for both of us. -We have the space for it. -We are the B&M capital of the world, let's keep it that way. -It'll attract a huge amount of success for the park. -It'll without a doubt please the fans. Now for those of you who are saying an Intamin Mega-Lite will be put in Rolling Thunders spot, keep dreaming, because nononononoonononononono. Six Flags doesn't do Intamin Mega that often, Ride of Steels yes, and that was a quick lived trend. Intamin Megas aren't Six Flags specialty let alone Mega-Lites. It's just not happening, at all. ESPECIALLY next to El Toro, that's just insanity, the park traffic is going to be absolutely gut wrenching to that area.

I was at the park today. Zumanjaro is not open to the public or for passholders, it was being used for a commercial today however as I watched as a helicopter circled it and the ride went with people on it so I was curious and asked a security guard who explained they're just filming for a commercial. The ride doesn't look as fast as you'd think, but I'm guessing that's just vision.
