29yrswithaGApass Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I wonder if any of the other Six Flags Dubai rides will make it to the US. I wouldn’t mind us getting the Ferris Wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only new trademarks are for Fright Fest, so I think we are going to see a lot of DC names and generic Six Flags names for 2020. 4 hours ago, 29yrswithaGApass said: I wonder if any of the other Six Flags Dubai rides will make it to the US. I wouldn’t mind us getting the Ferris Wheel. The Power Splash is already in Dubai and is most likely one of the 10-12 rides going to Motiongate or Bollywood. I think Six Flags bought another one for SFOT. The price listed on a few sites for Pulsar was 8.5 million Euros, which is pretty cheap if accurate. https://mobile.twitter.com/jamie_shill/status/1131990806460555265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pineracer Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Maybe a state on the east coast does, like a Top Scan (as Carowinds and Canada's Wonderland have those and they are not in any of the highlighted states), Wonderland does have a lot of European flats that no parks in the US do. Both of those are smaller things so it would make sense to replace with a flat-I feel the theater more likely will go, but if its the boomarang-I think they will use the parts for their other boomarangs instead of relocating or outright scrapping it.

Medusa42 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) The spaces taken up by Boomerang and the Sundance Theater are both much larger than what would be needed for a flat ride. You could put a small coaster in either spot. The Idaho and Utah clues rule out anything made by RMC or S&S. I think the Sundance Theater is staying because the park put a bunch of money into it last year. Something like this could fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z6Kmp0n7L8 Edit: More Fiesta Texas clues posted today. Clue 8: Will it stay, or will it go?

Just because Fiesta Texas needs more room doesn't mean they will be replacing the attractions you said. So some of these clues could be invalid. I think Fiesta Texas would get D.C super friends and Bugs Bunny Boom Town replacing Kidopolis and (since they don't have another kids area) adding a kids area behind Poltergeist. I know that area is small because Fiesta Texas is landlocked, and I seen smaller kids areas. Fiesta Texas has been adding thrill rides for the past 6 years. In 2016 they added 2 family rides though, but 2 family rides in 6 years is not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keywords from last night's clues were: SPEED, SUSPENSE, POWER, CRAZY. The new attraction doesn't exist in any states west of the Mississippi River or in Georgia.

SFNE fan Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I know one that would fit the crazy definition, Houdini’s great escape is only at great adventure and New England. The only problem is no one has been purchasing them lately so I don’t know if they still make it.

Medusa42 Posted August 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Six Flags Great America posted their first teaser for 2020. Man sets record after eating 86 funnel cakes. 23 bags of cotton candy have gone missing at Six Flags Great America. Frequent coaster rider rides Maxx Force 3 times in one day.

Medusa42 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Here is my analysis of the first SFGAm teaser. Clues/Phrases from the video: Has your Summer flown by? sun and fun blast past you sets record 86, 23, 3 times in one -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Massiv at Schlitterbahn Galveston is 81 feet 6&3/4 inches tall and was estimated to cost $3.5 million. https://www.galvnews.com/blogs/between_the_lines/article_a484ce60-cd29-5514-8b85-ea6e390f4858.html Cutback Water Coaster is a new Proslide Rocket Blast/Flying Saucer water coaster that moves at up to 35 feet per second or 23.864 mph.https://attractionsmagazine.com/cutback-water-coaster-now-open/ There is a leftover piece of Pictorium land between Maxx Force and Hurricane Harbor with enough room for a large water park attraction. Based on this information, I think SFGAm is getting the world's tallest water coaster at 86 feet tall, 23 mph, and 3 blasts per ride. The slide would be made by ProSlide and use their Rocket Blast/Flying Saucer system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrotron Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I find it bizarre that they would send Green Lantern to La Ronde. I am not questioning it, but it just makes me wonder. Is La Ronde that low on the totem pole that Six Flags is willing to send something that was essentially worse than fodder as a new addition there? I think it probably has less to do with priority, and more to do with saving some capital, and just recycling an attraction that only operated for 6 years. A few of the common predictions include: La Ronde - Green Lantern: First Flight (relocation from SFMM) SFA - Giant Discovery (perhaps Giga Discovery) SFMM - Starflyer SFOT - Mack PowerSplash (confirmed) Beyond these few, I am less guided and more open to listening than speculating. I really like your idea of a water coaster for SFGAm, @Medusa42. For all the parks as usual, we can expect something akin to the expected formula, including the typical Starflyer, Superloop, Zamperla Discovery, Tourbillon, and 4D-Free Spin additions. It would be nice to see a few roller coasters, but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
