RMC BOSS is what the world needs.
Pumped for SFGAm... I do hope it is something big and eye catching on that side of the park
Something I'd love to see for the new chain but regarding the old chain is that I'd love to see them do significant park improvements in addition to their ride additions. I'd love each ride bring a refreshed look to each place they build them. I'd love to see fewer visible chain link fences and concrete across the chain. I'd love to see more landscaping, better shops with more unique merchandise, better restaurants ,newer paint and more shade. This was one of the biggest problems with the old chain. I'd love to see each ride feel like it's the centerpiece of an overall revitalization of an area. I think that would be do a lot to bring in families and change the reputation.
And I want a pony. Neither is happening. SF management is willing to spend on coasters. Theming? Not so much.
@@billcook4768 I'm not necessarily asking for theming. And a lot of Cedar Fair management are coming along as part of this merger. A lot of Cedar Fair parks in recent years have done a lot to revamp areas where they build new rides. Kings Dominion, Carowinds, Kings Island, Knotts and Cedar Point have all plussed up the atmosphere in areas with new or planned attractions. There's no reason to say that can't happen with parks that were in the old Six Flags chain going forward.
That said, if we're talking about expectations instead of hopes, I'm not confident about new additions in general after the merger because they may need time to shed assets and weather the storm before big new investments happen.
Need some theming too. Love this idea
If anything we're going to see more fences after the Banshee incident.
@@carysage that wouldn't be too surprising. And frankly, I don't have a problem with fences if they are visibly hidden from site by things like foliage or theming. Obviously I get that ticketed locations will have fences. But there are ways to keep you from just looking at concrete, chain link and barbed wire. Let's put it this way: I'd like all parks to look more like Knotts or SDC and less like the back of Kentucky Kingdom.
Six Flags Great America posted a teaser video on their official Twitter account that said #FearTheWrath. The caption also had the letters S, S, and A capitalized. This teaser was also located at the spot where Mardi Gras Hangover used to be with the caption "Looks can be deceiving #FearTheWrath". It also had a QR code that took you to some Wordle thing that spelled out "Tease".
All of this coincides with Six Flags filing the name, "Wrath of Rakshasa" on May 28th 2024. It is intended to cover the categories of amusement and theme park services; Entertainment services in the nature of amusement park rides.
As for what this can be? Some people were speculating it's something fright fest related due to the use of "Fear" in the marketing. It can also be a new flat ride to replace the Mardi Gras hangover since that was the spot the teaser was posted. Another option is that this can be the replacement for the Demon since a Rakshasa is a type of Demon from Hindu mythology and there have been a few survey markings around it and buccaneer battle which is right next to it. The final option is that it can be a coaster replacing roaring rapids since that is also really close to the Mardi Gras hangover, it hasn't been opened in a while, and the sign has been torn off.
If "Wrath of Rakshasa" is a coaster, it's hard to say what type of coaster it's going to be. It seems pretty unlikely to be a Raptor with that type of name (wouldn't exclude a T-Rex but i don't wanna get my hopes up). A dive coaster does seem like a good candidate as you mentioned. Going back to the Twitter caption that had S, S, and A capitalized, many people seem to have mentioned that it may hint at an S&S Axis coaster. I would personally love this but I'm unsure how unlikely Six Flags Great America is willing to work with S&S after all the problems Maxx Force has. My cousin literally got stuck on it yesterday lol.
To me it makes more sense for it to be a flat ride. 2026 I believe is Great America’s 50th so why not save the new coaster for then?
Unless the answer is what’s going on at Great Adventure with Flash in which case I get it. Cause Flash probably won’t open until 2025 at this point.
It's definitely a flat ride
I hope it’s a new flat and a re theme of that part of the park but I doubt it
@@juliangonzalez720 If it's a retheme it better not be fucking DC
@@ninjagirl226 Based on their record of ride openings I hope the big ride comes in 25 so it's ready in 26 for the 50th, LOL.
Six Flags St. Louis needs a nice BM hyper. Tear out the Vekoma dumpster fire from 1986 called Ninja and put a hyper that goes over the train tracks like Diamondback at KI
I agree, we need one.
I was at SFNE yesterday. This was my favorite mini Flags park in the days of Premier Parks. It still a nice park and it still is a great one-two punch park. While it broke my heart to see the condition of the park, it can easily be brought back. Powerwashing, paint, better employee training and getting rid of the dang spiderwebs would bring it back to where it was in the early 2000’s. A multi-launch coaster would be a perfect addition. Some parks don’t require a B&M and this smaller scale park is one of them. The Dark Knight was never a standout coaster and it provides more head rush than enjoyment. Another fun, enjoyable coaster would sit well with the likes of Superman, Wicked Cyclone, Joke and Pandemonium.
9:08 sfga is my home park definitely would rather get a single rail than a dive to be honest but i guess we’ll see
I don't think Magic Mountain needs another multi-launch. We already have Full Throttle and WCR. Honestly, I hope for some kind of spinner. Personal choice would be a Mack Extreme Spinner, but really any sort of large-scale spinning coaster will do, even if it's for families, which would fit well being located right mext to Bugs Bunny World. If not some type of spinner, then a Dive would also work very well.
A Ride to Happiness clone would be quite welcome!
Magic Mountain shouldn't be opening new coasters until they can have all of their coasters open in one day with multi train ops. I don't care if this park has 30 coasters, with how horribly this park is run I would still pick Cedar Point and Hershey over it for coasters every time.
All I can say 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 loser deal with it magic mountain is getting a new thrill ride wtf 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 😡😡
DO YOU THIINK WITH THE MERGER OPERATIONS WOULD EVENTUALLY IMPROVE?
@@IronManiac I guess you have been drop on your damn head 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Six flags stl needs a B&M hyper
I've thought for a while that the Flashback/Goliath plot at Six Flags New England could be the perfect place for a Vekoma Super Boomerang, if they think the one at Great Adventure is working out well. But of course it's still too early for them to know that. It'd just be hilarious for a park that put a Boomerang next to their Boomerang to replace them both with a Boomerang.
There was a teaser on where Mardi Gras Hangover. You might be on to something.
Because of what SFMM is and what that construction location is like, I really think that coaster is gonna be a Vekoma tilt. They haven't worked with Vekoma in that park in ages and they love to put unique coasters there. I also think a B&M Dive makes sense in that spot as well
SFNE desperately needs a launch coaster. They’ve gone 7 years since their last major coaster and none of the 11 coasters they offer has a launch. I could see a Intamin Hot Racer replacing the old Goliath plot of land since SF is working with Intamin again
For Magic Mountain, I'm actually hoping it's a Vekoma family coaster. Magic Mountain desperately needs a great family coaster.
However, if it's a thrill coaster, I kind of doubt we will get another launched coaster. We already have Superman, Full Throttle and West Coast Racers.
I honestly think if it was a thrill coaster, it may be a dive coaster. The location would actually be perfect to showcase a dive coaster.
Great to hear about new investments in the chain.
Magic Mountain may get two rides next year, they are currently ripping up Pistachio Park and when I was working there last year we heard a rumor that they planned on putting the flash ride back in that spot. (Obviously with a re-theme)
I’m a regular at SFNE and I’ve heard rumors that they’ll be getting an Intamin motorbike coaster in the style of a family boomerang in the Goliath plot of land, I’ve heard it from employees but I have no idea how true they are
I’ve heard similar things from a friend who’s a regular as well
I’d rather have a maverick clone
An Intamin Hot Racer would be great there. Hope that's what happens.
@76ccphil ...Seriously? Don't you realize how small those two Boomerang plots are? It's unlikely they'd be able to squeeze more than 3000 feet of track in.
Sfne is my local six flags why no construction or online chatter if they get something for 2025? Now saying that, that goalith plot needs something
Can six flags saint Louis just please get one coaster that’s not a kiddie coaster
I agree, we need one.
You probably recorded this earlier, but yesterday Great America teased "Something iS coming, just wAit." People are reading "SSA" as an S&S Axis, which is in line with Great America getting new coaster models before the rest of the chain does.
As much as I'd like SFGAm to get an axis, it honestly seems like Six Flags in general cut off all ties with S&S after the technical mess that Maxx Force was.
@@simplestu9449 I heard six flags gave frontier city $15million dollar and they might get a flat ride package
@@simplestu9449I agree between that and Steel Curtain's troubles I'm not holding my breath til a major chain buys a prototype from them...
@@carysage they alreADy have.... its going overseas
What about that new great adventure coaster by the old arena. They already put flags on trees and in the ground to make way for new footers. Plus eltororyan has been teasing for a while about it being an intamin launch coaster.
It’s currently rumored but is not confirmed
Magic mountain already has 3 launch coasters with two being multi launch. They're not getting a launch coaster. Remember the Magic mountain social media teams were teasing a giga about a year ago
I’m with what you’re saying, Brandon. I asked a friend of mine the last time I was on the train about it being repaired last season and that could it be removed? And then I kind of backpedaled after thinking about the fact that it was just replaced. I’m not too sure what their plan is, but I think that a big coaster is coming to the Mardi Gras area. Potentially a dive coaster or Axis coaster. “looks are can be deceiving” which makes me think this attraction may not look like much from the ground, but the *Axis* layout makes the ride experience like nothing ever experienced before.” That’s what I’m thinking Six Flags is aiming at with this campaign. I could be wrong and I’m okay with that.
Of the 4 parks mentioned, Six Flags New England seems to be the most in need of some love. Their most recent flat ride addition was 2021, their most recent coaster was 2017, and their most recent waterpark addition was 2013. While they do need a new coaster to replace Goliath, they arguably need a waterpark expansion even more. Not only has it gone more than a decade without anything new, but Bonzai Pipelines and Typhoon are standing but not operating. So they need to replace those before they can even say they expanded the waterpark. The argument in favor of a waterpark expansion is that while SFNE hasn't built a new coaster since 2017, their competitors haven't either. But their competitors have expanded or even built completely new waterparks. So that segment is more competitive and is seeing larger growth. The argument in favor of getting a coaster is the longer operating season and lower staffing requirement.
I’ll need keeping an eye on SFNE my home park
I’m going to Canadas Wondelrand sept 13-15 for the ACE event on Sept 14, will you be there??
With the new teaser for Great America with SSA, do you think it could be an Axis Coaster?
S is for Superman 😂😂😂
I still have hope Great Adventure will be adding a new coaster in the old Lone Star Arena area of the park
I don’t have high hopes for that. Maybe for 2026 I think. Flash will probably reset the clock for GAdv
Town of Agawam, MA has a SFNE Site Plan on their Planning Board schedule that was released on 7/25 for a meeting on 8/1. NE is getting something but I've found no further hints (yet)
DEF A COASTER :))) WOOHOOO!!!
I agree with SFNE AND MX. Your predictions make sense for those two parks.
However, SFMM, I don't see them getting a 4th Launch coaster. I think just an intense modern looping Vekoma would work. OR GO BIG and get a Giga Dive Coaster.
As mentioned in other comments, SSA was teased by SFGA. A debut of an Axis Coaster would be cool. But IF they were to do a Dive they need to not have a mid-course and actually have an intense layout!
Definitely worth buying a season pass next year i hope their good additions hopefully you can go to both CF and SF parks.
SFNE needs a Maxxforce model. There’s only 1 in the US but people love it. I think the park would LOVE an intense yet short coaster ride.
its a 1 trick pony but that trick is worth every bit of the 17 second ride. Short is ok if you do it right... they did it right. Seems to have alot less downtime these days.
SFGA could technically also take out their unused picnic grove and unused amphitheater, and it would give them a huge plot of land to put a larger coaster
Those are used as an event space all the time I thought? Like corporate outings and such.
SFMM needs a giga. La Ronde needs to RMC Le Monstre.
magic mountain doesn’t need anything until they can keep the rides they already have open
@@cobblebalt4835 They are keeping the rides they already have open. The only ones that I think are at risk of being taken out are Viper and Superman. The park has no floater airtime. The closest good traditional hyper or giga coaster is in Chicago.
@@sxekoolaid9904 we (chicago) have a hyper. the closest giga would be cedar point or kings island
@@elevation62047 I said hyper OR giga
Those are fantastic predictions. On another note, Brandon I’m curious if you know anything about the 190ft city zone height limit for Fiesta Texas?
I do not know but hopefully the park can still get a hyper soon!
For MM I've said it since day one: I believe it's going to be a smaller family style coaster but a "first of its kind". They're going to complete Full Throttles layout so the brakes aren't on the final drop, they're going to make a pathway from the front entrance straight back to DC universe or the underground, and they'll add some flat rides. It's not going to be one big coaster imo unless I see them start tearing down Superman.
If they tear down Superman I’d cry real tears
Why would you mess with a coaster that’s already been constructed? No park has ever added more to an existing coaster.
@@1OFFICIALGEMS you're joking, right?
@@spikedwkI would’ve put an LOL if I was my g. Like I said why tamper with it? As long as the GP likes it then it’s all good.
@@1OFFICIALGEMS so they have never added on to an existing coaster? Like RMC didn't add things to colossus?
Hey Brandon, I definitely think six flags could get a dive coaster or single rail but in there recent TikTok they had the letters in the caption capitalized “SSA” so I’m definitely leaning more towards an S&S Axis
That's wild! I can't wait!!!
My home park is sfga and really want a new gen vekoma or a dive also they could and another ride where Mardi Gras was.
Keep in mind that Magic Mountain has added small family coasters relatively recently. In 2011, they got Road Runner Express from Six Flags New Orleans. They also got a Zamperla 80M clone in 2014. Ideally, they should add something about as long as Full Throttle. I know I've been **hawking** this a while (pun intended), but a mid-sized B&M Wing would fill a nice gap in the middle of their lineup. I would not expect a multi-launch until Six Flags decides to replace EFK with a strata coaster using switch track.
With X2 I don’t think they would add a wing coaster, especially with how expensive those are
@@RRLV434 A family-thrill model would cost < $15M. This wouldn't be like Gatekeeper, Wild Eagle, or Thunderbird. It'd be more like a larger version of Maximus at Legoland Deutschland, smaller than Great America's X-Flight
For the parks that weren't announced, I want Michigan's Adventure to get the hyper coaster from the abandoned Hot Go Dreamworld in China and I want their abandoned wing coaster to go to La Ronde. I also want La Ronde to get a family coaster and log ride package from Zamperla, and I also want Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Six Flags America, and Carowinds to get one as well.
11:25 I think there's a B&M flying coaster standing but not operating at a closed park in Northern China. If so, I want that to go to Six Flags Darien Lake.
An S&S El Loco would be perfect for Frontier City, and a Zamperla spinning wild mouse would be my first choice for Six Flags Over Georgia.
Dorney Park and Kings Dominion should get a Vekoma family boomerang similar to the new one at Kings Island.
Speaking of which, Kings Island should get a Mack big dipper where Vortex stood and a large launch coaster by Vekoma where Son of Beast used to stand.
Cedar Point should get a Mack water coaster where Shoot The Rapids used to be, and Six Flags Great Escape should get a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter or a Zierrer tower coaster.
Six Flags Great Adventure should get its own dueling launch coaster where Rolling Thunder used to be, and Six Flags Mexico needs a compact launch coaster.
Valleyfair has plenty of room near High Roller for a compact Vekoma launch coaster or a compact wing or inverted coaster from B&M.
Finally and obviously, Roar at Six Flags America, Hurler at Carowinds, Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake, and Boss at Six Flags St. Louis all need the RMC redo.
Ugh I hope Great America doesn’t take out the Roaring Rapids. I love rapids rides and I’m so sick of parks ripping out water rides…especially when it gets HOT most of the season at regional parks.
there are two flume rides literally ride next door to the Raging Rapids.
4 new coasters to at six flags parks 😊
Not including cedar fair parks😧
@@heathconely3573 KD and CW have their 2025 ready. This is for the old SF parks pre-merger
6:40 that coaster looks like a trip!
The rapids were closed all year in 2021, with the sign taken down and everything, but ended up reopening the next year. I’m not so sure that it’s closing, although it might
Cedar Point is almost 6 hours away from Great America if you take the Indiana toll road / Ohio Turnpike. Even longer if you avoid it. A dive coaster would be very popular I think
Weird as over past year (last year) they did rehab for roaring rapids .
SFNE is my home park. While everybody is clamoring for a launch coaster, my unpopular opinion is we need a quality family ride over a thrill coaster. Either a highly themed family coaster, a AAA dark ride or my first choice, a water flume. Is anybody even building water flumes these days?
I hope you are right but more importantly I hope they can all be open by mid summer.
Planning (hopefully) on going to SFNE and it would be nice to see their ride up and running!!!
Don’t want a repeat of SFG (surf) or SFGadv (Flash). Are these even going to open this year?
I’m planning on going back to New England next year so this is exciting to hear it’s been since 2015 since I was last there
I could see Magic Mountain getting the tallest Vekoma tilt coaster in North America.
Isn’t that already at SFM. They’re rumored to get one next year
Darian lake need a new coaster
Well, next year they are getting a refurbished Mind Eraser with new track and trains, hopefully it'll be a lot better than it used to.
For Six Flags Great America, I am really hoping for the single rail coaster..would love to ride one
What do you think about SFGA’s most recent IG post with the letters SSA capitalized? Could it be an Axis coaster?
Six flags great america also put up a little teaser video that says #fearthewrath
I would love magic to get a Mack extreme spinner. We don't have anything like that yet. In my opinion I don't think magic needs anymore launch costers unless it's the spinner. We got 3 already. Just my opinion. Although with this land being so close to bugs bunny world I could see a family coaster fitting there as well.
I’ve heard a lot of people calling the old parks from each respective chain “legacy parks”. So the video today was about SF “legacy parks”.
As far as sfgam, i would be too tall to ride a b&m dive machine. (Stupid right?) That would be a nice crowd eater but I would very much prefer a raptor if theres a rider restriction. I did chexk the rapid path back in june, and was very dry. I thought in 2023 season they were patching spots of the ride path but it looks like that may have failed. What disgusted me is i went the week before july 4th, and they were still training ops for the train. The park needs a better means of transportation to other parts of the park
Cedar Point is 5h plus from SFGA. Not 3-4 hours!😂
I think every Six Flags Park shots own unique coaster to make that part special Not the same clone rides every Six Flags gets
I’m going to go with a wildcard. SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN IS GETTING AN AXIS COASTER.
As for Magic Mountain, they do NOT need ANOTHER multi-launch thrill coaster next to Full Throttle! We get it - WCR is boring, and FT is too short. That doesn't matter. It would be **phenomenally stupid** of Six Flags to try competing DIRECTLY with Hollywood Drift within a year of its opening. Ever heard of COUNTER programming? They need a good family thrill coaster, so that's what they should open!
It’s magic mountain. When they build rides they build them to be huge. Also the plot of land is huge. Most likely gonna be a big big coaster
Record breaking giga dive coaster is my guess.
@benryck 1) Magic Mountain has only built 1 coaster over 150 ft tall since Tatsu. That's Full Throttle, and it's basically a 2 or 3-trick pony. 2) That plot is not as huge as it looks. At most, it's only about 3.5 acres, and its terrain makes it more ideal for a family-thrill coaster with swooping turns and few large drops.
@@frankthecat1660 That belongs on the Viper plot, not in front of Bugs Bunny World.
@@brianfoss571 no this is a coaster park for kids that ain’t little scary cats
my son was 7 when he got on x2 and twisted colossus we need another coaster like that 48 really thrilling to have a top 3 that all can be number one in the park to spread crowds out from x2 going straight to Tatsu
At Magic Mountain, whatever they are building is going to be big. Why do I say that? The teaser posters at the plot of land specifically use the words "Epic Thrills." To me that doesn't indicate a family coaster, thrill or otherwise. There was some statement made a while back saying that whatever the new ride was it was going to be unique. So following that, it could be a tilt (I don't see that happening because of SFM and COTALand which makes two in North America west of the Mississippi.) It could be an Axis coaster since there are none in North America. An Extreme Spinner would be a great fit as well, especially if it is record breaking. (Mack has also said they haven't fully pushed the limits of that design style too.) Or, as a long shot, they could be going for a holy grail-ish ride and building a TRex. To me, those are the "unique" options out there. Whatever it is, they are being super tight-lipped about it and as of now I haven't heard any leaks.
I think MM is going to do a really huge dive coaster
We all know by the time they will open it would be 2026
six flags over texas needs something and i mean it
I would love to see a Hyperia from the U.K. be built at Magic Mountain 😃
I pray great america doesnt get a dive. Thats ahuge plot of land youre talking about and would be great for a tilt coaster, or something more unique... an intamin multi launch or mack multi launch ( OR HYPER FROM EITHER MANUFACTURER. would be so different from raging bull).
If its a dive, make it a hyper and make it good. No mid course. I love single rails though tbh but the wonder woman /jersey devil clone ks long and skinny and wouldnt fully utilize the rapids plot. It actually is a perfect fit for the demon plot if they ever wanted to get rid of that!
And to answer your question about the height: great america can get approval from gurnee to build up to 325 ft. Anything below 120 they dont need to get approval for. Ie, d9dnt need to ask for x flight and batman, but had to get approval for raging bull giant drop goliath vertical velocity shockwave sky trek tower etc. The city has NEVER said no. Its just a formality. So this park could absolutely build a giga. (B and m parking lot giga im looking at you 🙏)
So excited though for the announcement season
325 foot giga with 340 foot drop for the record
@grantsutherland3853 @grantsutherland3853 its not even outlandish. It makes the best business sense, especially if its b and m, itll be expensive but reliable and high capacity!
Sorry great america but if you added up the investment in golaith x flight and maxx force you could eaasily build the worlds longest best giga! Why have impostor syndrome to cedar point constantly and build shorter lower capacity rides? 2019 was a long time ago. Praying that they took this very approach... rather than 3 rides in one decade, build one mega ride to cover the 2020s. Next mod sized coaster 2030/2031.
You are woefully mistaken. The zoning limits are 200'; the 120' cap is anything within 500' of a residential area (ie. where Goliath sits). As for there just being a formality.... again, you are incorrect. Gurnee has said no, more often than not. When they were in the planning stages for Goliath, they were refused their initial 180' variance request. They modified their plans and actually built BELOW grade as a quasi work around, and were granted a 25' variance over the 120' cap. Just consult the Gurnee zoning site Table 5-1 for Commercial zoning, with the Amusement use variances. Consult any number of Tribune, Daily Herald, or Sun Times articles back dated to the Goliath construction hurdles. Look at the modifications they did/scaled back to create Giant Drop (another zoning height dispute).
After just visiting 7 theme parks the last 20 days (6 Cedar Fair parks) Six Flag Magic Mountain NEEDS!!!!! a GIGA like Leviathan or Fury 325 but they need a 350 or 400+ Ft after riding Leviathan, Orion and Fury 325 SFMM needs to stop with a the baby coaster and put one of these ride into their park ASAP Vekoma or any other coaster brand would be a let down. or even a Kingda Ka but of 500ft+ SFQ is building Falcon Flight SFMM need to get to the 350-450Ft Coaster they have so much land they can even added a Villain theme in DC "Darkseid Coaster of Evil" or a Injustice league theme but SFMM need to add a GIGA ASAP.
Nice!
We know Six Flags Magic Mountain has been clearing a significant amount of land over the past 4 months.....
I don’t think any of your predictions will come to fruition. It’s hard to predict new things under a fundamentally different company. We don’t know what old plans they have on or off the table in favor for new ones. The management team of sixflags has been the most affected to my knowledge so I think making basic predictions is a shot in the dark
SfGAm - we’re getting a scream and swing
Did you see the teaser about a possible S & S Axis coaster being added to six flags Great America that dropped today? Very cryptic video…what do you think of that?
Over ga hasn't had a major coaster since goliath. Magic mountain has plenty of coasters.
SFOG has GA Surfer coming this year. But they could get something major for their 60th anniversary very soon. A Dive coaster would be a great fit for them to get
SFGAm can’t build very high on the left side of the park.
Doesn’t take a couple years planning a coaster,except for the skyline coasters ,every thing else has been a cancelled coaster that six flags has picked up, we know they have one of those left (Mexico), the question is it enough time to manufacture the rest of the predicted ones
please no dive coaster. build a TREX. we have 7 thousand b&ms already
To the people who are saying that Great America will get an Axis coaster: they're not
Well we know New Mexico is definitely getting something. That’s 1. Magic mountain has been hinted at getting something so I guess that’s 2. Great America’s anniversary is in 26’ I believe so I don’t think they will get one next year. My home park is great adventure which flash wasn’t the coaster they were planning to make apparently so there has been rumors for something next year. Markings started in august for flash so I guess I will check the arena plot and try to see if I can find anything.
Six Flags New Mexico sounds fun.
@@Starlit43 Even though Flash wasn’t GAdv’s planned 50th anniversary coaster, I still doubt on another happening next year unless if there’s work on it. It’s currently rumored but not completely confirmed. I’m guessing 2026 or 2027 for GAdv to get their next coaster since Flash will reset the clock
@@edt-ze3ke I wouldn’t doubt it. That arena was getting torn down last year
@@Starlit43 And also, GAdv couldn’t even get Flash to open this month as they promised so which I also think that I doubt on another coaster next year
@@edt-ze3ke they never promised that flash was opening this month.
Has RMC built anything/opened anything in 2024..Havnt heard/seen anything from them since they sold really..Makes me worry about the future of the company
Fire In the Hole opened up. RMC also merged with Larson International so their ride portfolio expanded greatly.
Sfdk needs a new roller coaster I just don’t know where they would put it
👍
Great America with permit can go up to 335 feet... due to waukegan airport.
incorrect. You are only referring to FAA guidelines. You first have to jump that hurdle of the Gurnee Zoning ordinance.
Height cap is 200' (120' if within 500' of a residential area.. like the plot of land Goliath sits atop)
You forgot six flags great adventure, opening flash in 2025 😭😭
A dive coaster can be found a 6 hour drive away at cedar point, a raptor nowhere near. Dive coasters are lame ash and would be a huge dissapointment after 6 years of waiting UNLESS its 240+feet
I hope it’s in Six Flags Nee England
SFNE MOTORBIKE COASTER
What about six flags Great adventurer in NJ
Flash will eventually open. Probably next year but maybe Fright Fest.
Coaster is built but the station and lines need work. Also there’s no trains yet. I feel like work stopped but it might be because we couldn’t see much going. But not the Ferris wheel is back so we might be able to see something
What’s the reasoning for SFMM already getting another big coaster? I just want to know the thought process internally why SFMM gets all the money spent on their park over the years while a park like SFOT doesn’t get anything interesting more than once a decade?
Because it's a flagship park?
SFOT is my home park as well, but you have to understand that in the thrill regard,the park is done. SFFT having so much competition has forced investment and SFOT a less than regional parks even though it's in a much larger metro area. The real cempetition in the DFW area are all family water parks or kid parks.even the new Universal park will be a kid park. Family and kid attractions are generally just cheaper to build. This will be the trend,or the land will be sold. The land is almost becoming too valuable to be a middling subregional theme park.
@Buran94 sure its a flagship park, but it needs way more help than just a new coaster every few years.
Half the park looks rundown. Faded coasters, ripped up shade areas, disgusting bathrooms, zero shows.
Magic mountain has the most coaster but is far from the best park in the chain
@cody if you feel that way then cedar point should not get any new rides either
@cody if you feel that way then cedar point should not get any more rides either
Six flags new england employees did say, that there are plans for the old Goliath spot after fright fest is over, they definitely do need more rides, since they are removing stuff like Kontiki and Bonzi Pipeline, and having houdini, tomahawk, and rock n rodeo barely opened, and the train area being used seasonally now. So they can definitely benefit from something big, I do hope sometime in the future they can also re-theme the western area into steampunk, and take out houdini, tomahawk, and rock n rodeo and put another big ride there also.
Fear the wrath six flags great america fright fest 2025 new haunted house
4 coasters, not bad, I hope this is the minimum or more every year for the original Six flags parks alone.
I get it.
Unlikely. They're just making up for the lack of coaster investment since 2021. 4 per year for the **combined chain** is probably the average we're looking at.
@@brianfoss571This is the last hooray of Selim's poor decisions. These parks need other things and haven gone to all of them this year, the crowds are nonexistent. Main reason there are any lines are reduced train ops and 5 minute dispatches. The numbers for SF legacy parks are going to be poor for Q2 and Q3.
@MCQ-fq6bv I get that, but it doesn't mean the new Six Flags will average 6+ new coasters per year. Attendance is down because prices went up without improving the park experience, with most new rides opening late in the season. Cedar Fair will want to focus on live entertainment guests actually enjoy, freshening theming, and overhauling dining and merch. And in years where the chain does get 6 coasters, a few of them will be family / kid focused.
@@brianfoss571 you are probably right but that is terrible considering there is now 27 parks. I know some of them are going to relegated bottom tier and may never receive any major investments or coasters. But 6 coasters for the combined merger per a year would be a batter plan to build up those medium tier parks and still keep the big capital investments to there top parks as Six Point, Six Dominion, and MM, Great Adv etc.
Joker ss freespin is a flatride in my opinion, they do not count as new coasters in my book. A cheap attempt to market a new coaster
SFMM cant even run and staff their current rides. Their ops are pure garbage. Another ill conceived idea by Selim Bassoul the Fool, as a parting gift. Fyi, Great America has been a ghostvtown. SFMM, SFOT and SFFT also max 10 mins waits on weekends, if running more than 1 train. SF legacy parks are going to have dissappointing financials again.
SFMM, SFGAm and SFOT need gigas
Not happening... at least as far as SFGam is concerned. Gurnee zoning laws cap Amusement structures at 200 ft (with the caveat that if within 500 ft of a residential area, that cap shrinks to 125'). Thus the delay in building Goliath way back when, as directly behind it, is a residential property. They actually built below grade to achieve their height of 180', but they still needed a 25' variance. No way Gurnee approves a 100' variance for a giga.
Gurnee zoning, is why they haven't considered RMCing Eagle, as the plot of land the helix sits upon is public domain, and any significant construction (ie. a rebuild/reimagining) would forfeit that plot of land the helix sits upon.
They all need infrastructure, better food, aesthetics, etc... They also are having poor years, the only reason they parks have lines are reduced train ops and 5 minute dispatches. Restaurants have sparce lines too.
@@MCQ-fq6bv I saw one of the coaster channels went recentl (SFGAm), and they paid $18 for a slice of Primo's. Man food got EXPENSIVE at the parks.

Fear the wrath six flags great america fright fest
Yall are sleeping on frontier city… 😂
6 flags new england is my home park. To bad their buildings a fking Kitty launch coaster. No inversions 35 40 mph. Total crap all the kids go to the water park anyway this ride will have no wait after a few years.
