dougdrummer Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Unleashed was excellent! My daughter's company will be setting up tents for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. She'll be there this Wednesday. The tents will be erected in the HH parking lot. Edited October 31, 2017 by dougdrummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 A Raptor coaster is possible. I think Six Flags is just testing the Skywarp concept at Discovery Kingdom and will roll out the bigger and higher capacity Skywarp Eclipse to some parks in 2019. Or they could do something else, it's too early to tell. http://skylineattractions.com/?p=rides&i=skywarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 It's possible, if they like either (or both) designs they can roll them out across multiple parks a la The Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggo77 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 This design is better since its a shared loading platform. Potentially cutting down on needed staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 This is interesting if it’s true. http://coasterforce.com/iaapa-2017-round-up/ Quote The final train reveal at the show was for another Six Flags coaster – Harley Quinn’s Crazy Coaster due to open at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom early next year. The manufacturer of the ride, Skyline Attractions, unveiled the Skywarp coaster concept at IAAPA 2016 and, aside from the one pictured above, they have sold another to Six Flags Great Adventure.

Yoshi Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 If it ends up being the 2019 addition, it would be 4 out of the last 5 additions that go upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Im hoping that it is a tie in for 2018 with Cyborg if it’s real. I feel like 2 thrill rides in 2 different years (2018 and 2019) can really hurt the park. Together they won’t (Just 2018). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to go to Jackson now (as in like tomorrow) for approval so they can start machining the parts and laying the foundations. Which, they very well may have in the works. It looks like it requires a relatively small footprint and wouldn't require anything extraordinary like an environmental impact study. Heh. Who knows? Looks like fun.

Medusa42 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 A Skywarp Eclipse would be a nice way to finish off the build out of Old Country or the Lakefront. I remember Jim Reid-Anderson saying on a conference call that the one thing he wanted to change when he came back as CEO is to increase the speed that Six Flags executes their strategy. Here is an image with two potential locations of a Skywarp Eclipse at approximate scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I doubt the Skywarp Eclipse thing will happen, mainly because a lot of miscellaneous additions have appeared at the park since 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of these locations for a RMC Raptor do you prefer? 1. Replace Stunt Arena 2. Next to Justice League in the trees 3. Replace Twister on the Boardwalk I prefer location 2 and wouldn't mind a CraZanity clone (larger Zamperla Giant Discovery) in location 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I would love to see it next to Justice league in the tress as that area needs more work, its a great spot that if its tall enough, it will be the first coaster people go to and that the boardwalk is pretty complete. The board walk is also one of the most congested parts of the park and that makes that area enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineracer Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Brining up the stunt arena keeps me wondering about the future of Dead Man's Party as i think most of the other versions of that show are inside if i am not mistaken, but there's still the Concert venue on the other end of the park (could make sense for a Raptor too, right?)

Medusa42 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I was messing around with Google Earth now that Fiesta Texas has updated imagery. Here is what an RMC Raptor might look like for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well, don't forget about queue lines and switchbacks and access to the ride for winter maintenance. It seems like it could fit fine but capacity is too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Yep, there is plenty of room for queues around the ride. I flipped the original image so that the transfer/storage tracks are in the maintenance area and so the top of the lift and drop are visible from the park entrance. Six Flags doesn't seem to care that much about the capacity of rides right now and this has been a dead area for so long that anything they put in is adding capacity to the park. People were making the same capacity arguments about the 4D Freespins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I can't believe how fast it runs throughout the inversions. But my major question is strength of the structure. obviously every coaster on the east coast has to be strong enough to withstand hurricane winds and blizzards. I always thought the supports to Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster looked a little sparse or at least small. I wonder how a raptor would hold up in an NJ park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 yeah. definitely look for land clearings or other types of clearings. i just think it would be hard to tell if there are land clearings by justice league as there is already a pretty open spot to the side of it.

Squidy2201 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I just thought of something. I would actually prefer a Zamperla Thunderbolt over a Raptor.If you have ever ridden one, they have excellent ejector airtime, vertical lift, one more seat per train than a raptor, great hang time and the turnaround is something you don't normally see.

Of course they'd allow it provided they replant or protect a larger area. Hell, if they offer to pay for the sewer work running from along 537 clear through to Lakewood, Jackson would give them anything they'd want. This is Jackson Township, NJ. Everything is up for negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I definitely feel like Jackson Township will soon give some more freedom for what Six Flags does because of what they give back to the town. Soon it will be power from their solar array, water from their new plant and with the future project of a company bringing a big sports facility to the area.
