On www.rcdb.com, it said that the new SFMM coaster will be a B&M Flying Roller Coaster.

/\ On www.rcdb.com it also said - "no sh*t!"

Haha! Flied Rice. Good one Maddie.

"DWeaver, it's not really "lame" per se...it's just...I dunno, like they tried too hard to be original and it comes through making no sense. Oh well".

Yeah I got ya. Kinda like "Kingda Ka".

Six Flags has gone from being unoriginal to dumpster diving for whatever names BGT discards. Still that's much better than Superman:Ultimate cookie cutter.

Isn't it Ironic that a large amount of Coaster Enthusiasts don't like the park with the most Coasters?

It's not the coasters that's the problem, it's the park.

The coasters are great...the wat they're run by the park...not so great.

Mostly true, however, I personally would have worded it more like this:

The coasters have the potential to be great...

I'm just going to talk about the coasters because I feel that I've stated what I think would make SFMM a better park, both additions wise and renovation of park/customer experience wise.

I rode 11 coasters at SFMM. I personally liked Scream, some people, while they don't hate it, have issue with it. If the rattle they feel is fixable, then fix it, and all is well. I thought Superman was a disappointment, but they could have at least ran both sides. Also, I think it would be cool to turn the AC up in the station since you're supposed to be in ice anywho, but thats just me.

Revolution had the potential to be in my top 5. However, loads of work needs to be done on the train, and those trims need to go. Collossus needs to be totally re-tracked, with the double down reinstated, some slight train work, and maintainance, and it would be a great coaster.

Psyclone needs retracked and maintained as well. Majorly. New trains wouldn't hurt it...Batman was fine. I loved X, even if it was slightly rough to other people, I don't think there is much to be done with it. The only 'problem' I had with Goldrusher was that it could use some themeing. And even if it wasn't my cup o' joe, Riddlers is perfectly fine the way it is.

Goliath was really good, and to me, just fine the way it was, and Deja was down, but the problem with it (there wasn't a 'problem' when I was there, it was down for yearly maintainance) seems to be more mfg. related and less park related.

The coasters would be fine, if the park that ran it were doing a better job. I didn't get to ride Ninja, but I don't hear anything bad about it usually. Flashback? What can you say? It needs to at least be painted, maintained, and opened. I hear no bad things about the kiddy coasters, but didn't get a shot at them.

Sweet, new track parts at the Mountain.

My wife and I will be out there in 3 weeks, I will have to get some pictures and see if someone will squeal any info.

I still think that the track looks ugly without a white stripe. ;)

From the looks of the track (yellow and red) and support colors (orange), this coaster may be themed to a hillside Brushfire after all ;)
