Setpoint formally announces Swing Thing headed for northeast park

Well, this all but rules out a Paramount contract. I wouldn't be surprised to see it in Six Flags America, or even... Ohio? No, not at PKI, at Cedar Point. I hate to spread rumors about stuff, but it seems like a perfect fit. Of course, this would not be their only major ride next year (with it all but certain that they'll get a new wooden coaster) but I see a park like Cedar Point doing something like this.

It's coming...

That's just it... what constitutes "northeast?"

They need to put one of these in a hot park like Six Flags Fiesta Texas or Astroworld, something down south!

what do you guys think? Lake Compounce? SFNE? SFDL? SFGaV??

When I hear "Northeast" I tend to think of New England and the Midatlantic region. It's a stretch to include Ohio in that (Western PA and Western NY are a bit iffy as well).

I don't see Cedar Point getting one unless it's a part of Soak City and they are also going to add a new coaster for the park itself.

Six Flags America is in Maryland and is darn close to Washington DC which is in the south. It's definitely not the northeast. Cedar Point is considered to be in the midwest. My dictionary defines the Middle Atlantic States as being New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, although I'm sure there's room for interpretation.

Why do I see one of these heading down to the Geyser Gulch Section at Silver Dollar City?

good call Dustijn, a Super Sat would be perfect in Guyser Gulch.

Wildfire is only 5 days and 47 miles away

Six Flags Worlds of Adventure or Kennywood. I certainly hope they're "northeast" enough. ;)

No, the North Eastern part is incorrect. It's going to go to a New England park. I asked a guy on URC boards. The release states that it's for a 'major new england park'. You can read it on the URC boards if you want. So it's either going to Lake Compounce or SFNE. Thank goodness. I'm sick of seeing Kennywood, SFO, and SFGAdv getting all of the attention.

Kennywood and SFO get all my attention 'cause I love close to 'em. ;)

Wont the riders be real cold if the coaster is in the Northeast?

Drachen Fire, Will it be swimming with the fishies?

So which new park in England is getting it?
;)

That's right Mindbender, it's 30 degrees here all year long!!!!!!

Please don't let it be SFNE! That park REALLY needs another big coaster. Superman isn't enough for the New England crowds. A Swing Thing won't do it. *** This post was edited by themeparkne on 4/1/2001. ***

Who said if they happened to receive a Swing Thing, that would be it? Six Flags has added more than one coaster to a park you know. (SFMM and SFWoA)

Interesting that one of these rides is going to a park in the north. The Super Saturator at Carowinds is not like a typical water ride. You don't just get a bit wet. You get absolutely soaked to the bone. A longer one of these with more capacity will be awesome, because the Super Saturator is great.
