'Gator mentioned an 'awesome log flume' at SFMM. Is he referring to the bobsled ride with the log themed cars and a little bit of water running in the troughs? It is a good ride, a bit rough, and I don't know if I'd call it a flume. The flume rides are down south of the 91 freeway. ;)

Does anyone have any pics of the track yet?

saturday or sunday. be patient.

Do any of you know how to build a sundial out of a pen and a donut?
uh oh, sounds like someone has a case of the mondays.

As of Friday evening the Shockwave is still in one complete piece. No cranes, no action!!! Still a SBNO coaster. "That is all" :)

A private event is going on this evening as well. Anyone know who rented the park out?

Lets hope nothing happens to the good ol' head clunking Shockwave. I hope they tear down theater Royale and put the new coaster there so it can intertwine with ShockWave. But thats just what I hope happens:-)

I think that if they took out Shockwave and put in this new B&M flyer it would make an awsome view when entering the park. I hope that it will be known for something, like biggest loop or something.

Nothing will ever replace the view of an Arrow mega looper when entering a park IMO.

Hear here!

Steelraptor, if it's a parking lot coaster, which it will be if they take out Shock Wave for it, it will almost certainly be a clone of S:UF. Maybe it'll be a few feet taller, like some of the Batman clones.

well since we're getting a B&M, I want my shot at trying to be one of the first to ride it, for once. to do this, I'm willing to skip school and drive to NoCoaster Con. only problem is, I don't know when or where it is. does anyone have any info on it yet?

And how would going to NoCoastercon help in getting a first ride on the new B&M? If you are going to get info on when it opens, you need not be at that event. All the information at the event will be posted here along with other sites.

If you are going to try to get invited to Media Day, good luck. :)

SFGA Bob, do you know where Oakbrook, Illinois is? Better yet, do you know where Oakbrook Center is? It's right across the street from the mall. The Mariot.

If you know the area, you can find it very easily.

Finally Got A Chance To Post. PANIC ROOM RULES! (Get It? ;))

boblogone, the hydroflumes (boats, not logs) are cool and all, but I was actually referring to the flumes with an extra long ride, interacting with the terrain - saw a skunk up there one evening, thank goodness I didn't startle him as much as he did me...;). Plus, with the great DROPS (plural), and the water cannons, the fly-bys with the mine ride, and the memory of LAUNCHING chillforce by convincing him to keep his arms up....Yes, for me the logs at SFMM provide the best RIDE of any flume....Knott's clearly has the best "dark-ride/flume", but the RIDE doesn't stack up IMO against the ones at MM (whose name escapes me right now, obviously...LOL)....

back to topic, I agree whole-heartedly that an Arrow megalooper provides an excellent view upon entry to the park....let's me know I'm at an SF "mega-park"....service be damned, all three have great rides....

-----------------
It takes a village to raise an idiot....

IMO, Superman Ultimate Flight looks kind of boring, I mean it only has 2 inversions. If anything I'd rather see a clone of X-Flight. But I don't think any flyer should replace a monster coaster like Shock Wave. If Shock Wave does come down and we get a 120 some foot flyer to replace it, I will not be a happy camper. I might even reconsider buying a season pass.

Oh the suspense! In just a few hours we'll see some pics.

You don't want another Bawing/X-Flight unless you want awful restraints, awful trains, and even worse operations.

S:UF leaves X-Flight so far in its dust that it's buried.

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers.

I was thinking. If there are track pieces in the parking lot already, which im sure there are, and if you go to danimation there is the closest thing we have to a picture on there, that Shockwave is not going. They are not just going to have all those pieces of track sitting there for months while Shockwave is being taken down. Why in the world would they do that. Also, the whole thing going on with all of the rides being taken out in orleans/ yankee harbor is just too strange for nothing to be happening there. ERC was one of the best flat rides in the park and always had good ridership, they wouldn't take it out for nothing. My theory always was that we will have 12 coasters next year, whatever that means. Taking shockwave out and putting in two coasters, or having Shockwave stay and adding one coaster which is what i think will happen now with the track already on site and nothing happening with Shockwave. Just my 2 cents...
