@@aceofspades3504 I disagree and agree, because it would be awesome as the longest coaster on earth, but I’d only like it if it is like 158 MPH and 500 feet. I really dislike the axis though.
I think for the GP, the only truly worthy records to break is the longest fastest and tallest coaster not just for any type, but the biggest of all of them in western hemisphere, period, to the point that only falcon flight is longer faster and taller than the new coaster, cost can go out of the window
@@ThrillsofColdplay from a longevity perspective, Ka probably only had like 3-5 years left. The merger was likely a catalyst for having this occur earlier. Also things would’ve likely been very different if TT2 were a huge success… (not to point fingers at Zamperla)
They neeed to extend the layout though if they plan on replacing it with the tower coaster they have so much land to work with and they said they plan to use it for kingda kas replacement
Good news guys ... I know of 2 persons on the inside at Great Adventure so mark my words: Ka will be replaced by a first multiple launch coaster from the same area as ka and the ride will extend into the area of the green lantern for a much longer run. Yes a fast coaster with a record first 2 or 3 launches within the ride with a loop and cork screws.
@@elitheyoutubeguy There is much more than a speed record and I am very doubtful that cedar fair is going for a high speed launch coaster while it will be around the 70mph mark I dont think it will go 100mph+ it just doesnt add up for the way the park is going and the chain as a whole in regards to their rides
I’m just praying that the layout is longer for the mack extreme spinner. They did take out green lantern so you would think this would be an extended layout for that
yea right?? compared to ride to hapiness this coaster would be a joke and wouldnt come close to the possibilities of a mack extreme spinning coaster, would be really unfortunate if they went with this layout just to break some hight record
Time traveller and RTH eat up more space than you might think. They’d need a big plot for that ride. Lantern and Ka combined makes for a plot that’s large and has more expansion room past that
@@AdrenalineRushCoasterMedia time travler would definetly fit on the green lantern plot, without touching ka, the parachutes, the parking lot or twister
If they buy another shuttle launch roller coaster, I will have such a melt down--I'll probably never go back, not even El Toro could draw me back in with Hersheypark two and a half hours down the street.
I would die if an intamin blitz came to this park. I loved velocicoaster. I couldn't catch a break on that ride with how crazy it was and seeing a ride like that in the place of kingda ka extending all the way towards green lantern with multiple launches, turns and loops and a top hat would be so cool!!
I would like to know what percentage of people liked that mack extreme spinner shuttle choice on that survey. No one ever mentions that. They are already opening a banging shuttle next year with Flash (those lights on it at night are spectacular). Personally I would like to see the bigger, meaner sister of Velocicoaster in that spot, and she NEEDS to be on steroids. I think a (superlative) blitz is the only type coaster that could most effectively fill the "Ka" void, (well, outside of a reimagining of course).😉😉😉
I think Six Flags and foreign government money are the only candidates to ever build the 400' Mack extreme spinner, making that experience more likely to be unmatched. Intamin lsm launching coasters are way too common to do the uniqueness of Ka justice, and way to possible for it to be outdone in the future. I just wish the Mack was a full circuit layout, but the fact that it isn't makes it seem even more believable ( because it's too expensive to have a return run).
The amount of money for demo for the tower will be around a million. I still think they are going to leave the structure, with or without being part of a ride. Maybe use it for a observation ride or something.
I 90% think it’s getting the TT2 treatment. I mean, the coasters behind Kingda Ka are being removed, and perfect for a spike. And Kingda Ka has no demolition perments
@@443MoneyTreesto be fair they didn’t explicitly say that but they implied it. Their PR statement though gives just enough room for people to keep speculating on a TT2 treatment. Do I think that’s going to happen absolutely not I’m just saying their word choice gives hopeful people a little bit of wiggle room.
well..... top thrill dragster was anounced to be removed at first, like kingda ka is anounced to be. and all the types listed in the video won't easily break any records. None of them would be faster, taller than kingda ka. Re - imagining Kinda ka might be what they are doing right now. maybe modding it faster to take the world's fastest roller coaster title
I really hope it’s not the tower coaster unless they do a full extreme spinner layout with a switch track or something for the spike, that would be cool
I swear dude if they build a B&M Wing... Wing coasters are really cool but in no way worthy of replacing the world's tallest and fastest (as of the time it closed) rollercoaster
Hence why it was placed at 5, knowing the company’s relationship with B&M is very positive, I couldn’t not mention it on this list, hence why it made the cut
@@abbeymullin8253 this is similar to what happened with Chiller earlier on in the parks history too, but a more recent occurrence to compare it to is Volcano at Kings Dominion, only difference is that we are getting our big replacement in 2026 and not 5 years after the fact😂
I’ll take the Mack Extreme Spinner 400ft IF… • Layout is extended and it begins to look something like Alpen Fury and it’s not just a shuttle coaster like the animation. • They make it 500 ft.
id love to see a mack extreme spinning coaster, but the layout shown is just kinda sad compared to ride to hapiness, i would also love to see a mack stryker coaster with multiple launches, could also break a lot of records
@@joost6994 either way it was going to end badly. I’m sure they wanted to make a statement, but knowing the backlash it would’ve gotten would’ve been too much… it’s a lose lose situation.
I really don't think theres much out there that will cure peoples disappointment with Kingda Ka closing. I don't think even like a Fury or Millennium caliber giga would make up for it. If they're doing a launch coaster, I think they only way they're gonna get people to even remotely care is you have to be top speed 100+ and height 300ft+. If those stats aren't met I feel most people will be going "Don't care, give Kingda Ka back"
Ohmigosh that's what I was thinking too. Same model as falcons flight but with a single 400+ foot tall LSM launched lift hill and a long layout covering both the Ka and Green Lantern plots/GASM of land that would be packed with a ton of elements.
I don't think it's easy to break the speed record on a wing... it's being held by Furius Baco and its 135km/h hydraulic launch since 2007, but I don't see it being the best fit as Ka replacement either
It can't be Mack Xtreme spinner because aren't they gonna remove green lantern for more space? And the Mack Xtreme is just a straight line so it doesn't make any sense for it to be the replacement. Sure its 400 feet but its not fitting for the park; also, if they remove green lantern for this its just a waste of space and money.
5 and 4 would be a disgrace, 3 and 2 would be perfect if they build them and kept the tower, re using the top hat and 1 could wrap around the old tower and be full curcuit version themed to a snake that killed kingda ka and is now wrapping around it
Am I the only one who absolutely does not like the spinning coasters ? That’s way too niche for a replacement for Ka. Sure if you want to put it in as a replacement for a removal like green lantern or add one to the park on a smaller scale, I guess it’s okay? But really that whole concept seems too niche. I would never ride it unfortunately. Spinning isn’t fun as I get older
Since the Axis got announced, it has been on GAdv’s radar since. That’s the only reason I put it on my top 5, but I do agree that SFMM will most likely get the first one in the country
I don’t expect the Mack spinner to be my #1, but unfortunately due to the GAdv Survey released in July plus Canada’s Wonderland getting alpenfury, (which was a survey concept for their park), makes this coaster concept the most likely scenario,
They can’t replace it. It would take a ridiculous amount of money to build anything that possibly could. This was such a stupid decision and it’s going to come back to haunt Cedar Fair.
Keep in mind that Dorney has a dive coaster about 5 hours away from BGW, SFNE has a RMC hybrid about 3-4 hours away from Hershey. They won’t care about distance
@ I think they would in this case as they also market kings dominions launch coaster too be a record breaker I don’t think they would want too smash all the records for another wing coaster especially since kings dominos needs the guests more then great adventure
😂😂😂 Ka was a very OK Coaster, the restraints were awful and ruined the ride experience plus the launch was so much weaker than dragster....it is only popular now because it's getting destroyed, the ride was not that good 💯💯💯
All of these coasters are bullshit and six flags should just keep kingda ka the way it is just bigger and more “record breaking” like faster and taller
I mean, hey, if they replace it with a Mach extreme spinner similar to time traveler, that’s OK with me based on how good people seem to rate that ride. My hope is that it’s just something that provides a much more balanced ride experience because as good as Kingda Ka was, it was also a one trick pony somewhat. Also Great Adventure doesn’t have a spinning coaster either.
I don’t think Great Adventure EVER had a spinning coaster throughout the parks history to my knowledge which would make the extreme spinner even more interesting
That spinner is garbage. Please no
Thank you. It’s cool, but not for Ka’s replacement. I need a 400 foot VC or Pantheon

It is so wrong that this huge monster is actually going away. It would be very smart to bring this back in some way with new track but longer

Make another launch coaster that’s twice as tall, twice as fast, and kills twice as many riders

Ballsack coaster
That’s not true. I would love a NEW Intamin strata coaster, but it is the same ride model as Pantheon or Velocicoaster.

@@vespidcoffee it's a launch nice launch and then mid view of park and parking lot and drop isnt intense at all, ends in 10 seconds..

Magic mountain might be getting the axis coaster (first of its kind in North America).
The spinner would tank the park sales. Don’t do it SF. You’re gonna lose a lot of people
Simple, nothing can replace the legendary Kingda ka
I don't think they are going to build another shuttle coaster considering they haven't even opened the one they just got

I think whatever they do, they need to go with something with high capacity…. That’s what all the parks need, is a crowd eater.
