La Ronde Inverted coaster

First Six Flags builds a green and blue coaster and calls it Goliath, now they build a purple and yellow coaster and call it Vampire!?!

Top Gun at PGA isn't a B:TR clone, but IS a non-SF Beemer invert...noting that if Vertigo's last comment is predictive of future SF behavior, they may actually be showing signs of originality...I'm scared!!!  (Granted, both NAMES have been used before by SF, but gotta give some credit to them for trying...;).

To add on the Inverted.... According to the side the first drop goes... its a mirror image! The drop goes to the right, instead of left with the SFGAm, SFGAdv, etc. ones. Its like the SFStl BTR, Gambit and the WBMW Batman the Pursuit.

does SF do any of the designing for their rides?  for example, John Wardly works with the companies to design some of the coasters.  does SF do anything like this?  or do they just say we want this type of coaster, this tall, with this many inversions, and we'd like it to be in this area?

Yes, SF does indeed hire designers for their coasters. I have submitted some ideas in the past. One of their main contract designers is in fact Werner Stengel. He currently designed Goliath at SFH and had some say on Superman at SFOG as well.

Theme parks will NEVER be the same!

What I don't understand is that La Ronde has Cobra - a Intamin Stand-up that has yellow track with grey rails:

I heard some where that Six Flags painted it black and green.

Now we see the track heading for La Ronde for the new invert - it has yellow track and grey rails:

Lets hope that the thing about the cobra being painted being is true or else why would they have to coasters with similar looking track in the exact same colours (colors)?

Im also confused to why the wouldn't just bulid the new coaster black and green and leave Cobra alone!

I would like it if La Ronde themes it to Riddler and gives it the setting of Movie Backlot

It is indeed a B&M mirror of Batman.

Oh, so it will be a "clone" of Batman #4 (namtaB) at SFStL.  I was wondering when they would make another mirror.  So far, besides namtaB they had all been the same.
