KK456 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^But it can't be a mega coaster because they already have nitro. It should be Giga sized! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetish911 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I also agree we don't need another big/record breaking/what-have-you coaster right yet. I would really like to see more flats and some fun, thrilling family rides. My kids are 7&10 so the lil one is too short (but willing) and the older one is scared (but tall enough for all the rides) and there isn't anything left now that RT is gone as an intermediate coaster or really too much in general that we can all go on that's fun. Buccaneer is great as is skull mountain. I loved RT even as an adult and we all love the Phoenix at Knoebels ...it's a great coaster. They don't have to be the highest craziest thing ever built to be awesome. I would love to see an Enterprise type of ride or dark ride or something along those lines. I do love me some coasters, don't get me wrong....but I think there are more important things than "record breaking coasters" needed at this juncture. And FYI I do consider GL new...I just don't care for it cause it gives me such a headache /neck ache after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 The problem with Looping Dragon is that some kids will still be scared to go on it, and a lot of older guests (my dad lol) will pass on it bc they think it looks nauseating. It really is just another thrill ride targeted for teenagers and adults. Which is why I feel like we should have gotten a tilt-a-whirl like Georgia so we also have a new ride for younger kids to enjoy. Come on.. you know little kids love tilt-a-whirls. Whenever I go to the Funplex in Mount Laurel I ALWAYS go on it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I don't either. I just want new and smooth. I want to be able to enjoy my coaster experience not get beat up from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamSource Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hey guys! I am new to this site and I am a Great Adventure enthusiast. I loved reading your forums so decided to get a account and give you my thoughts! So my prediction for 2016 is that we will either get a new coaster or a Justice Leauge Dark Ride Clone! I will be on this site from now on! Thanks for listening stay tuned.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 ^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamSource Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks! And if you are wondering about my thoughts on LD, here they are, I have no problem with LD. If SF wants to mark it as a coaster go ahead! Its not the law. No one argued about CF calling their pipe screams coasters. LD is just what we need! A small spaced, coaster for everyone, a cheap addition, and a COASTER! Take what is given to you and shut up. I am hoping for a dark ride because it is what we need. I think it will be in a expanded chiller station or the similator building (which is more likely IMO). So hopefully mext year brings thrills!

KK456 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 ^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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamSource Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well I can see argument about that, but I take it for granite that its a coaster. People need to understand that SF wont change them to flats. So you can argue, but just be happy it benefits us. We NEEDED a new coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errico5errico Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Fire chaser express would be a good fit for our park too, but six flags isn't good enough at theming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 More than that, Six Flags won't spend that kind of money on something that isn't going to be a huge draw. Fire Chaser Express is a great fit for Dollywood, but at Great Adventure it would be seen as a crappy attraction. Just look at Skull Mountain and TDK for evidence that they don't work as real draws for the park, but they cost as much as a real THRILL ride which does bring guests.

ScreamSource Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 The theming is fine, they are about to add what has to be a pretty good themed ride in Justice Leauge Battle For Metrpolis, but they have to make it good. Lets just see how this attraction turns out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHdas Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I think we should get something like Maverick, like with a lift hill, beyond vertical drop, launch, and inversions, but bigger. That would be cool. It would aslo be a nice fit. The only launched coaster in SFGA and the steepest drop. What do you think? They could theme it to the Jersey Devil and make the launch out in the woods. Edited September 15, 2014 by GHdas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could theme it to the Jersey Devil and make the launch out in the woods. I would definitly love to have something like Maverick as it is one of my favorite rides I have ever been on. It would also attract a lot of people I would think too. Although you said it would be the only launched coaster at sfga, I think you forgot about kingda ka.

GHdas Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Oops, I did. I meant to say the only launched coaster besides Kingda Ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamSource Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would love an intamin blitz! But I think a S&S 4D is more likely as they will probably be heading out in 2017 depending on BTR at SFFTs success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^Yes. BTTR's success could very well decide our next coaster. An intamin blitz would be awesome. Endless possibilities too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 It's weird that people who aren't particularly "coaster people" are buzzing about SFFT's BTR, but then again there is a TPR video of a 4D in China that people are all gaga over as well, not realizing the same ride has been at SFMM for years now. Personally I think the new 4D model will be a dud, with major problems. The Arrow/S&S 4D's are problematic, and this simplified version will be a bigger problem I would imagine. It's also too small/low capacity for a large park like GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamSource Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^ yes very true, it would probably have over 2 hour lines. Plus, I actually just git back from a trip to CA where I rode Green Lantern first flight and it was horrible. It was the first ride I almost pucked on. X2 is very good but they will probably not make any more X2s. Now that you say that, I do agree with your statement of BTR being a dud and basically being like GL at SFMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHdas Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^Except the name is even more unoriginal. Batman the Ride. There's another Batman the Ride in Over Texas. I hope whatever Great adventure is getting, it's original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 ^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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHdas Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 What do you think would be the worst case scenario? another superloop named Batman or Superman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK456 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
