There's something about it being the first floorless that would make me sad to see it go. I'd rather keep it and add flats around it to build up the area. The zero G roll is fluid, and perfect. And it's more forceful than most floorlesses (not dominator though)

No it wouldn't. It would go from painful to graceful.

Certainly possible after today's announcement

^^Some people are afraid of loops. I know some people personally with that fear, who don't know loops are literally forceless. Once people get over the fear of going upside down, they might be able to progress to the Loopers. I agree with you though that Rolling Thunder was a good stepping stone. Also, NOTHING can prepare you for El Toro. Nothing.

^^^YES. I couldn't agree more. Bizarro would be amazing in sit-downs, because I heard the design of the trains on Kumba makes the wind spiral into your face. That would also keep Bizarro alive a bit longer . And GL would be even more popular with floorless trains, as even people who don't know that much about coasters know it's tough on your ankles and head, and shoulders XD. Honestly, If that was all we got for 2016, I would me more than happy. I seem a little to enthusiastic about this transformation, but I just simply love the idea.

^Yes. and Yes. It would be weird having a stand up so close to Gadv. Also, from what I've heard, Mantis is indees rougher than GL.

Well, it's official. Mantis will be changed to a floorless coaster for 2015 and will be renamed Rougarou! The colors will be orange track with teal supports. This is AWESOME and I hope GL gets this treatment after a while when it gets old! (The floorless trains) I love this whole idea, 100%. What are your thoughts? It will make an old ride much more popular, and did I mention how much more comfortable the whole experience would be? With new paint, it will look a lot newer. It's like what we got with Bizarro, but medusa was never as rough to begin with. This is only an improvement!

skyskreamer is awesome. 242 is a good height. 400 feet is ridiculous XD.

^yup

They have a diverse lineup for people of all ages. But they aim at keeping the record, so their newer coasters haven't really been up to par, so to speak. Everyone gets at how CP is quality and SFMM is quantity, and it is somewhat true, but they have some great rides though down in SoCal

They wouldn't buy another superloop. But the worst case scenario... I can't really think anything bad will happen for 2016. I really am looking foreward and expect something good, even if it's not a coaster

^Welcome to the forums! Anyway, the real question is will it be better than GL? Im not sure at all, but we will have to wait

^Yes. BTTR's success could very well decide our next coaster. An intamin blitz would be awesome. Endless possibilities too

^Yeah, that's what I was trying to say XD

Anti-rollbacks and block systems are a thing... someone tell that to the media ^I agree. That video was short, provided all of the information, and got right to the point. NY likes to make a big deal out of everything...

^JL dark ride in the simulator building is very possible, it's just been sitting there. People did get mad at CP for calling the pipe screams coasters though. LD is not a bad ride, I know people who have been on similar ones before, but I just can't call it a coaster

^Welcome to the site! I think it is very likely we will get a justice league dark ride too. A new coaster is likely too.

TC will likely end up with a Goliath/I-305/Skyrush support structure with the truss or enlarged spine and the minimal 2 support beams because of this fire. Anyone know why Sfgam decided to change the Supports on the lift at the last second? It's really cool-looking on a woodie (hybrid)

^Well Hershey is a much bigger attraction as it's like the Chocolate capital of the U.S. It's also a lot more family friendly. Gadv attracts NJ, NYC, and Philly as it's just a regular amusement park while hershey is a regular amusement park and a chocolate company- I can't find a way to properly explain though

True. Im betting they got a buy 1 get 3 free deal or something XD and didn't spend too much money. I just want a new rollercoaster, I don't care whether it's a record breaker or not.

^It would be great if they got an intermediate GCI woodie like lightning racer! Would be good for the entire park as it would attract younger riders

^But it can't be a mega coaster because they already have nitro. It should be Giga sized!

^True, which also explains Looping Dragon

Well it was built 10+ years ago and you can feel the age in how rough it is (at least in the back). I must agree with Andrew, if it was custom it would be much smoother. It does fit properly in GASM's old spot, but if they got sitdown trains I would be content. It is a really great coaster in terms of track, but the trains make it a nightmare, at least for me. Imagine that 1st drop in sitdown trains!

Any estimate on when the KK spotlight will come out? Can't wait to see it!
