B&M flying coasters:Where next?

Rollergator: you can get a lifetime pass to IOS, just join the Apopka Little League team! ha! Don't worry, you're not the only one who hasn't ridden Pteradon Flyers either.

I hope IOA gets a flyer, because I'm not bying another season pass until they do. I got tired of being able to ride every ride in the park within 2 hours. I think it should be a Rocky & Bullwinkle flying coaster in toon lagooon.

I can see one on the horizon for IOA and BGW... Those two parks seem to be perfect fits for B&M flyers!

IOA seems likely and would most likely be the best themed. I'm waiting for a big flyer. My reasoning being that after Nemesis & B:TR were built, most of the next beemers were considerably taller. But then, I also love the compactness of nemesis & B:TR so I just hope B&M flyers live up to the high standards set by their inverts. Actually, I have no doubts that they will. Can't Wait!

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

SFMM because they need more B&M coasters and less arrows, never mind my name.

I hope PKI will be getting one soon (cough cough). I will be talking to them about something probably this summer involving B&M coasters, but nothign like the ones you all have ridden, but who knows, only time will tell. (and money)

Well i know one will be at SFMM becuase we are the Xtremely spoiled park.

Please. SFMM builds the coasters because SFMM brings in the crowds. If other Six Flags parks brought in as much revenue, they would be getting as many rides, too.

Father Lucifer, you never looked so sane. You did always did prefer the drizzle to the rain

if im not mistaken doesnt Six flags Great Adventure bring in more visitors than anyother six flags park?? i thought i read it on this site that only a couple of year round parks (Disney and Universal) beat it, and no seasonal parks come close to the attendance at SFGadv.
if so then they should get all the good stuff

Actually just like the figures show SFMM doesn't bring in that much revenue or crowds for a year round park. SFGAD brings in the most crowds but also they have to add new rollercoasters or rides every year so they don't bring in the most revenue. The most revenue is brought in by SFGAM its the third top drawing Six Flags parks and has no competition. So SFGAM doesn't have to add as much to keep their attendane up meaning SFGAM is the cash cow.

I would say great adventure or IOA-- IOA because they have been rumored to have bought one from B&M for a long time and it would be a great fit, Great Adventure because between us, and Magic Mountain we get everything.

Actually, SFGAM is the 4th drawing SF. This year, SFoT beat it by 100,000 visitors. SFoT had 3,000,000 while SFGAM had 2,900,000. Also, SFoT doesn't add every year either.
If you want to see the top 50, it is in the American Business magazine.

When "guessing" what coasters a Six Flag park will be getting, you have to take into consideration what they already have, and what they don't have. SFMM just opened X, which in my eyes, is a variation of a "flying" coaster... therefore, I think its unlikely that they will install another one, at least in the forseeable future.
With SF, I would put my money on SFGAm or SFGAdv, as these are two parks which always seem to be first or second to receive new types of B&Ms. They are also parks that draw big crowds and big dollars, and they can justify the cost of the ride.
Outside of Six Flags, I would place my money on IOA. They are due for a new coaster, they seem enthusiastic about B&Ms, and they have the potential to get the theming right.

Six Flags Great Adventure, maybe...considering they most likely will be getting a 4D...Matrix the Ride in like 2005...and Dorney...I think so. It seems like Dorney enjoyed a HUGE attendance increase, even with entrance fees raising. There was a rumor of Dorney having a three coaster contract with B&M...some people say it's true, some don't...but in my aspect it would be a good idea for Dorney, since this is a nice crowd drawer.

Rollercoasters are my life, I think about them more than I think about....wait, thats all I think about :)

How did Moreys Pier beat all those Huge Parks? I mean they beat out CP and Sfmm

3.2.1 launch

I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned Cedar Point yet Thats what I'm putting my money on in 2003 or 4.

Probably CP. But they have been buying from Intamin lately hmmmm...
