Railer Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 ^^ My PTR from May that is titled "Speculation now moves to the Lakefront" I originally wrote as "Confirmed : Aqua Stadium and Grandstand being removed". I had confirmation back then they were going, and my PTR's title was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Until the official word is made public by the park or there is obvious evidence that something is happening things are considered speculation or rumor. Back in May removal of the stadiums was speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tower Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I am hoping we get something cool next year though. A big coaster that can help bring more people to the park and is really awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Once again, I'd like to remind everyone that until something is actually built, nothing is "confirmed". I was there when they tore down the park's greenhouses to build the Cyclone. ANYTHING can happen between now and the actual construction. Remember when they announced the Dark Knight Coaster for SFNE (which was canceled), or their first announcement they were building the Sky Screamer (which was postponed) all because their planning boards didn't approve them? Remember Great Adventure's announcements last year about Looping Dragon (and its location) and the Fright Fest attractions (which from what I've heard have been changed several times and haven't even started construction yet)? There is a L-O-N-G history of Six Flags things being planned and even announced and then being cancelled, postponed or changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 ^Or Dorney never getting the Windseeker. I forgot why though. I wish they got one, it would be nice to be able to try one of those close by, though I'm trying the one at KD next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Probably because of the problems they had with them at the other Cedar Fair parks that had already installed them. I'm glad Six Flags went with the Star Flyers instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) He just asked, so i told. I knew 100% the Lakefront was coming down back in May, and that's all i "confirmed", i said nothing of what as coming then, i just knew what was on it's way out. And Six Flag's did make a really good move going with the "Star Flyer's", those rides have been a nightmare for Cedar Fair Park's. "Star Flyer's" seem to be a much simplier design, not as many thing's that can go wrong or break. And i think the "freedom" of swinging on chain's compared to an "arm" is way more fun, and more of an evolution of a traditional Swing Ride.

BuddyChrist Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I went on a Windseeker at King's Dominion and I much prefer starflyers, you feel much more open and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 ^Agreed. The Windseeker models almost feel more like an observation ride. That said, I do miss the traditional swings in our park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlee Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I wonder if the swings are still in storage? I thought they were gonna refurbish them? Traditional swings are always a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Harry--out of total curiosity, are you aware of any of Great Adventure's 2016 plans? Has the type of attraction been determined yet? Not asking for any hints or details, strictly whether they have informed you (as you say they have some previous years in history). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I wonder if the swings are still in storage? I thought they were gonna refurbish them? Traditional swings are always a favorite. The Flying Wave is not in the boneyard or in storage. The ride was struggling the last few seasons with a lot of downtime and is probably tucked away in some landfill right now. Harry--out of total curiosity, are you aware of any of Great Adventure's 2016 plans? Has the type of attraction been determined yet? Not asking for any hints or details, strictly whether they have informed you (as you say they have some previous years in history). and yes, the type of attraction has been determined.

ScreamSource Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 and yes, the type of attraction has been determined. Aha so Harry is just watching us guess like idiots then 😂😂. Do you know exactly what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 If you look back through this thread, I haven't added anything of value. I will join the conversation after the official announcement! Until then, have a nice day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railer Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Harry is a pro with keeping thing's quiet, has been for year's. Sometimes if you go back on his PTR's from previous year's, he has given "clues" though. Never with word's, just with "un-captioned" shot's.

jdc12192 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Must be really hard to keep that a secret. I know if I knew what it was I would be wishing I could tell someone. Sometimes it's nice to know something when others don't. It's like a little game that only you know about and always a voice in the back of your head laughing,especially if they're wrong, because you know something they don't.

scott Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think because Harry can be trusted the park is more inclined to work with him. I don't think that trust will be ever be broken and we are the beneficiaries of the advantage that trust brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASM Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) A ground up RMC would be amazing they could make it duel and call it Thunders Revenge or Rolling Thunders Legacy something like that or I personally think we should have got a premier launched coaster this year we need a launch that isn't as intense as KaThunder's Revenge...I like this idea, although I have my doubts the park would do it. But I doubted that they would keep that section of Thunder, so anything's possible... Also, a bit late on the Star Flyer/Windseeker discussion, but when I went to Cedar Point a few years ago, as I was leaving one day, Windseeker was stalled, with people on it, and debris was falling everywhere. To this day, I don't trust the model. Edited July 14, 2015 by GASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkj3322 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Does anybody else feel lakefront could be turned into a decent themed section for next year along with the new attraction? Seems like a lot of space to really bring to life if done correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
