SFGAm riddle - CoasterBuzz

Why? That doesn't explain either the proposed Whizzer removal or the surveyors marks around Shockwave. Unless they had planned on giving us two coasters instead of one, I don't get it...

And to think this was written 2 hours ago and it already has 2 pages. Wow.

-----------------
I am proud to say my homepark has 3 B&M's, soon to be 4, hopefully.;)

But a SBNO roller coaster is still there, while a now removed Power Dive and East River Crawler are not. Even if Shockwave does go, I have a hunch it wont be because of the coaster. I don't know if it is just me, but if they were going to remove Shockwave, don't you think they would have already started? I don't really know how long it takes to destroy a coaster, but if they needed to build a new coaster and take out an existing coaster during the same offseason, you would think they would have already started.

Basically, I think Shockwave is staying. There is a lot of space over in the Shockwave area, but the crowds over there are fairly small. So, really, I think that the new coaster will intertwine with Shockwave and Batman. Just my thoughts.

Ah, the official ungrateful enthusiast-complaining begins by SFGA Bob. The real riddle was seeing who would whine first. This post is now complete as someone posted earlier about cheese... they go so well together.

oh please, I'm not ungrateful. I'm happy as a pig in...well, I'm happy we're getting a new B&M, but that doesn't mean that SFGA could do better with the theming. excuse me for wishing that a coaster experience be complete with unique, creative, and appropiate theming. if you want a park to be a mishmash of bad theming, fine, but some of us like our theming to have a certain logic behind it and Superman in New Orleans doesn't strike me as the essence of logic.

It doesn't strike me as the essence of logic either Bob. I think if they put the new coaster in Orleans, they should theme it according to the area and not some Superman theme. I think that maybe some goth name might be in order or something along the lines of Dr. Jeckle Mr. Hyde. Or maybe something having to do with Mardi Gras.

I have no signature because I am being stalked by a psyco.

Or Delta Flyer (yes, I know that name has been used twice before, but it certainly would fit in Orleans Place better than Superman: Ultimate Flight would)

Im not concerned at all about the color scheme, just looking forward to a new great ride!!!

I still think they should name it "O'Hare: Ultimate Flight" :)

Ric Flair was hitting on the female host, he told her - "Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it has the longest line." WOOOOO!

Air Traffic Controller Nightmare?

S:UF, Lucky lucky.

Of course I said this all along. But hey if people want an 800 foot inverted standup flying cheese on a stick stand they want an 800 foor inverted standup flying cheese on a stick stand.

S:UF really is an amazing ride though.

-----------------
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. ;)

What about Midway ChiTown?

I guess I'm making a trip to SFGAm next summer. SOOO much closer to Cleveland than SFoG.

Line jumping is cause for removal from soceity.

A Toblerone Bar?

You could call it "New Ride" for all I care, as long as it's not named some cartoon superhero. Keep well thought names alive...ahem, Raging Bull!

Millennium Force - Any other questions?

Last I checked, East River Crawler was still there (did I miss something??). I would be *extremely* surprised if the flyer went in that area of Orleans Place - it makes no logical sense at all (especially space-wise). Kiss Shockwave goodbye.

Lets hold off the name until they announce it, I remember when people were calling Raging Bull El Toro. I am just happy we are getting a new B&M, but I don't want it to be a clone, we have enough already. But if they don't take out shockwave then it probably won't be a clone.

Nate: East River Crawler is still there, sorta. the cars are gone last I heard, but that could just be for maintence. if it is going between Power Dive and ERC (I highly doubt it) then it can't be a clone of S:UF. if Shockwave's coming out, then it could be a clone, but I would hope that SFGA would go original. almost everything else there is original (V2 being a clone and DV being a...well I don't know what it call it). who knows, maybe they have a site in mind that we don't know about.

I hope Shockwave stays and the new coaster goes somewhere else in the park, If they remove ShockWave they will really be screwing up our wonderfull skyline!

Question:
What is red, yellow, and swiss and is sitting in SFGAm's employee parking lot?
-----------------

Well, that couldn't possibly be B&M track, considering that B&M track comes from Ohio...
While this makes sense, I refuse to believe anything until I see some photos, or someone backs you up, Legendary. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm denial about a Superman themed ride. Why red and yellow? Why couldn't they have been in ANY color besides red and yellow?
On the positive side, Six Flags has been known to theme and name two similiar coasters exactly the same, while the rides themselves are quite different. Oh, please, please, please!!!!!
P.S. I hope Shock Wave (yes, two words; look it up in the guide-book) stays. It's a rough ride, but I still like it.
