Medusa42 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Here is another idea based on the location of the newly fenced off areas. A RMC Raptor replaces the old arcade/paintball building and two tents and the Tea Cups move to Golden Kingdom where the Splash Water Oasis is. The current location of the Tea Cups becomes a gift shop like they built at Fiesta Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Its a nice fit but I don't think the tents are going anyplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I was surprised two of the tents were fenced off. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2194198137262926&id=100000182822669&set=gm.1500236033418684&source=48&refid=18&ref=group_header&_ft_=qid.6556964457565711122%3Amf_story_key.1500236033418684%3Atop_level_post_id.1500236033418684%3Atl_objid.1500236033418684%3Asrc.22&__tn__=EH-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coliwood_studios Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I think Great Adventure is getting a T-rex and a water park expansion. I don't say a raptor because they're meant for smaller parks, and Great Adventure certainly isn't that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, but either way I doubt they would. El Toro is too good of a ride for them to mess with like that. The most they'll do is retrack the rougher sections.

I am just going to keep the idea of a Riddler themed RMC in my head but Lakefront doesn't have enough room. Its really not the biggest spot. Unless they go over the water. There is just more dry land by justice league and over by the recently opened abandoned path. Don't forget that anybody can write what they want on wikipedia. They could remove Joker, it doesn't even work lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APeX3181 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Does anyone know what's going on in the blue tent? Looks like they're finally putting something new in it now that the old arcade is out. The best thing they can do in this area is reopen the original midway path from the tents to the carousel which would bring more foot traffic into that area making those two tents viable money makers again. As for the next coaster, I believe it will be the first T-Rex (the raptors just don't have enough capacity for us), but the only place I can see it going is between El Toro and Ka where the insanely long path to Zumanjaro is. They can use all the space from the former footprint of Rolling Thunder going back to the old section of the safari that doesn't seem to be used anymore. If they're putting it in the area of Splash Water Oasis and Bloodshed , it would have to be extremely small and compact unless they plan on building over that part of El Toro. And please for the love of all that is good, I hope it's not called The Riddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn’t true, the RMC Raptor was designed for small parks and big parks according to the video linked below. https://vimeo.com/155035864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I feel like Raptors are a just fine fit for the park. Considering Wonder Woman has 24 riders per 3 train cycle and a gerslauyer Coaster only has 16 riders per a 2 Train cycle I’m sure we would be fine as long as dispatches are fast if we were to get a raptor coaster.

coliwood_studios Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Here’s a rendering of a possible spot for a T-Rex/Big Raptor I made that fits where Rolling Thunder used to roar. It fits perfectly in that spot. I’d definitely rather see a Coaster than a flat package over there. I’m insterested to see if everyone agrees with me that it’ll be a RMC T-Rex or Raptor in 2019 or 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't really any space for that since El Diablo took the spot of Rolling Thunder's entrance. While the track may fit there, the queue and entrance don't seem to have a place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 ^ It could be done although it would be rather remote. I am not sure why they would want it that far off the beaten path. The current entrance and exit to Zumanjaro would need to turn into general pathways with the entrance to Zu moved closer to that ride's queue house.

rj1972 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Nice job on the rendering! Well done! Do we not think that a 2019 debut might be a bit optimistic? The site has to be identified, designs need to be created, as does an engineering study, permits need to be obtained, the coaster needs to be manufactured, and then it needs to be installed. With that said, I really do not know how far in advance they plan capital projects. Maybe some of this has already been completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrislovescoasters Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sorry I meant that they mentioned it being catered towards teenager. This leads me to believe it will truly be something big this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 The same survey is for all of Six Flags, not just Great Adventure, and it covers a wide variety of topics and audiences. You can't conclude much by focusing on that one aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmforever Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 we have fence up in the area of the golden kingdom, any ideas whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidy2201 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 That fence has been up since they opened the path again. which its been at least a month at this point. My guess is they are gonna do some construction around the path to get it to look less abandoned. but at the very least, those walls are to hide the old concrete pads from Balins and to hide the old rotting building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry2004 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) i think as they could add a rmc raptor or a rmc trex to metropolis, i think they need to update adventure seaport theme it to adventures rivers for nostalgic reasons. move splashwater oasis in the safari cars are and call it seaport oasis. retheme nitro to north american scream machine. retheme the rapids to a african rapids ride. add a family wooden coaster behind looney tunes seaport called called the irrawaddy coaster. add a splash battle called koala canyon splash battle. add a disko called zamberi spin and flying scooters called colorado flyers. move seaport rides to the great lake grandstand area and turn the area where bugs bunny national park and great lake grandstand area into bugs bunny boomtown. but its just my ideas and i think they could get a rmc raptor or rmc trex for golden kingdom or metropolis but instead we getting a giant discovery Edited June 26, 2018 by harry2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tower Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I think 2019 is finally going to be the year we see a thrilling, original coaster that will definitely give the other parks in the chain a run for their money. It's personally impressive in my opinion how we haven't gotten an original coaster in a long time, yet still remain one of the best parks in the chain. If we get a Raptor it'll be whatever and I won't be disappointed, but a T-Rex is in my opinion what can suite the park well with the amount of traffic it gets during the summer (not all days obviously) In my opinion, as long as we get something that can make us stand out from the other parks in the chain for the time being, I'll be happy. We've been swept under the rug for the longest time and I think 2019 will finally end that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Those are just rides you want to come to the park. There is nothing that hints that we will get any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) i think using the left over rolling thunder spot for golden kingdom expansion is a good idea here a map i made of what if golden kingdom expands into rolling thunder spot this map shows a rmc raptor in that area and i could call it python and move safari enterance to that expanded area, and move the 3 kiddle rides that used to be at the former kids area here, (plus moving the enterance and exit to the drop tower betweem the safari new enterance and kingda ka, fast tracks snacks demolished for new enterance, exit and queue line for kingda ka) Edited July 10, 2018 by harry2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
