Great Escape Expansion

What do you think the 200+ foot takll ride will be?
A hyper coaster perhaps? But I don't really know.  Where does it say they are getting something that is 200 ft.?
I hope that GE will get a S&S double shot or Acrophobia clone. I'd rather have S&S double shot because I like them.

I hope that the coaster is either 4th Dimension or Hyper.

I read that they were cleared from the environmental study board that they could expand and build new rides, attractions, and general park improvements.

They went on to mention that they can build 200 foot rides, however... the stipulation with this is that the ride cannot be lit above tree level (whatever height that is) unless it is for emergency lights (such as lights for planes to see). This could work for such coasters as Intamin Hypers where they light it from below highlighting the structure & supports... but it might make it a little difficult for drop-type rides especially if they are lit at the top for decoration.

Great Escape can build tall rides as long as they do them in the lower elevation areas of the park.

Some of the first few enhancements, improvements, & additions that they are planning include: New septic systems, a bridge over Rt 9n, improved parking, new entrance plaza (probably when they convert to Six Flags), on-site hotel, & convention center.

The thing is... I think I read they (I am too lazy to dig for the article, but I did post it a month or so ago on the forums) are going to use about 20 or so million per year for enhancements, improvements, & additions (ie: rides) for the next 8 years.

I think next season will be big to make up for the past couple seasons where they WANTED to expand, but they couldn't... it will most likely bring forth a new coaster as well as a few new rides!

The sky-coaster is nice, but it doesn't make a park.

-----------------

I want a S&S at my home park because I love the lighting and the effect you get out of them. I also want a hyper or 4D. Doubt I will get what I want but one can hope.

Rumors are that they will expand the waterpark as well.
