Robert,

Why do you think SFGA will get a B&M hyper? With all the success of RoS in
other SF parks - I predict an Intamin hyper or maybe (one can hope) a Giga!

Tom

That's exactly why SFGAdv wont get an Intamin.

There are two versions of Superman: ROS within easy driving range of SFGAdv
(SFA & SFNE... and SFDL even isn't too much further away) so it would be
foolish for the park to build another one.  They'll go for a B&M or Giovanola
Hypercoaster like Raging Bull or Goliath.

SFMM, SFGAm, and SFGAdv almost always get similar attractions.

        This one always is a given:

Magic Mountain: people will argue whether Superman: The Escape is or is
not a roller coaster.

It's B&M.

- Give back Mean Streak it's b*lls(heck, I haven't even been on it, but
pictures make me salivate; it should   RIDE the way it looks!!)
- Possible CC:s of MF at other Cedar Fair acquisitions.
- Titanic:The Ride
- Hindenburg: The Conflagration
- O.J. Simps -                 I'm outa here!!!    ;  )

I have a prediction. Kentucky Kingdom will get a rumor of a floorless and then
in about april we'll find out they're getting a Zierer family coaster that will
open in july and will drop you off in a Limited Too when you exit.

 I would have to agree. I also believe it is quite possible that SFGADv will
get a B&M speed coaster next year.

 I myself would love to see another speed coaster. One that
would...........Naaaa. Why go into dreamy details! =:^) I can dream can't I?

I'll predict THREE new B&M's within a few hour's drive of SFGAdv.  At
least one will be a stand-up.  None will be floorless.

Hint: one is the inverted at Dorney, which will probably be a clone of
Raptor, or very similar.

And for those who might ask why they'd clone Raptor, think about it: the
only inverted coaster even remotely in the area that's bigger is
Alpengeist, which is far enough away to not be competition.

well - following that "almost always get similar rides" observation - SFGA
would be getting a Goliath clone? You bring up another good point - there are
two RoS within an easy drive of SFGA - therefore a hyper at SFGA would be not
be a strong marketing position. Then maybe a Giga or standup at SFGA?

Tom

By SFGA do you mean SFGA[dv] or SFGA[m]???  I assume you mean the park in NJ
since you speak of S:ROS coasters near it.  From what I hear [and I have
excellent sources] the 2001 is a B&M speed coaster with the layout as a
cross between AC and RB, but resembling AC more.  Granted, nothing is firm
until the park make an official announcement, but considering my three
sources told me the same thing independently, I believe them.

Matthew

Thanks Matt - how disapointing if true - 4 across seating just doesn't do
anything for me - especially when you're talking about a speed coaster. Oh
well, at least they are getting another new coaster - and B&M does a great job.

Tom

But isn't the inverted at DP supposed to only have four inversions?  That's not
even close to a clone.

Somebody said...

He did say "or very similar."

Think of Carowinds' Top Gun and Montu.  Both very similar rides.  Yet,
the second half is what's different about them.  I really enjoyed
Raptor a lot and I'd take a near clone of it.

I think it's identical except for the parts that are entirely different,
or not there at all.
