Which park will be the first have 4 B&M creations?

I am hoping Cedar Point but it will probally be IO***

I_l_t_g, I sure HOPE you're wrong...B&Ms are fun, reliable, and appeal to a wide range of tastes....

However, it's a *bit* out of hand down here in the Beemer showroom, and a nice new CCI or Intamin would certainly broaden our coaster-horizons...(coasterizons)?...;)

-----------------
You can't spell S:UF without UF....Go Gators! Let the pretzel loop tie you in knots...

Coasterdude, I agree...There is no way SFoT or SFoG are the top moneymakers

I know for a fact, because I remember seeing a top 20 list for parks who made the most money, and SFoT or SFoG were not in that list. I remember that all of the disney parks were at the top, SFMM was somewhere on the list, and SFGradv was the only seasonal park on that list. Unfortunately, I do not remember where to find that list.

secondly, SFoG I doubt will be getting another coaster next year, B&M or any other manufacturer. Not only did they get S:UF this year, but didn't they get Deja Vu and something else last year(correct me if im wrong)???I also doubt any parks will be putting in Stand-ups, as many complain about them being uncomfotable, and other coaster types are newer, and perform the same elements(notice I said most complain, me personally, I like stand ups).

Im not too sure about whether or not SFGam will be getting a coaster, but if they are, I think it might be a B&M. GRadv will IMO put in a 4-D. Hey, a B&M flier or a 4-D, cant go wrong either way.

I think it's going to be SFGAm all the way. Maybe a floorless, most likely a flyer. S:UF was the bomb so I wouldn't mind having SFGAm's 4th B&M be a flyer. OR maybe a whole new prototype!!! You never know...

I don't know why people think it'll be IOA. IOA has not done ANY kind of real expansion since it opened in 1999. It's still one of, if not THE biggest attractions in Orlando and has no problems getting people through the gates. Additionally, it's not as much a thrill park as it is family park (compared to a Six Flags anyway).

-------------
AC?, RB?, MF?, DD?, PR? Who can keep track of it all?

Well, there was an article online a couple days ago (don't have the link, and don't want to post the text here due to copyright schtuff) and it said something to the effect of...

"Later this summer there will be an announcement at IOA for a super-coaster. They are thinking of three different ride systems, including one that goes forward and backward."

Whatever they decide, we'll find out later this year. But I'd bet my money that they ARE getting a coaster in '03. Whether it's another incredibly fantastic B&M, well that remains to be seen.

"I have a flashlight, enjoy the show!"

Forwards and Backwards that deffinatly sounds like any type of boomerang, or an Intamin Impulse, hopfully something different clones can be nice but even newer styles are nicer! As for the money maker thing you saw I saw that too. I believe SFGAd mad like #7 or 8 and SFMM made like #11 or something to that affect, SFGAm was around #14 or 15 so SFGAd wasnt the only seasonal on the list there was at least one more. I was surprised to see SFGAd before SFMM. I also cant remember the link But I will look if I find anything I will post it :) Oh yeah just to add my 2 cents I would deffinatly go with SFGAm as the first with 4. As someone said SFGAd just had back to back B&Ms so I wouldnt be expecting them to have a back to back to back. SFGAm hasnt had a B&M since 1999 and they had 2 other companies before that. Plus if you look at SFGAms current coaster selection it looks like SFGAm will be looking for a newer design they have pretty much done the rest already. I would guess either a floorless, flying, or a 4D are in store for SFGAm. 4D isnt likly so most likly there will be a B&M within the next 2 years.

Actually we don't even know if we are getting a coaster next year greg. Too soon to tell what it would be, if any.

Moss Pier Amusement Park(I can dream on that one:)

But if I have at least one, that would still make me more than happy

Why, we whoop them constantly in attendance...by a considerable margin too.

That's the way I understood it as well. SFGAd is one of the better Six Flags parks that I have been to.
However, I have not been to Magic Mountain though. But from what I can tell, Great Adventure is a bit more family orientened than Magic Mountain(Looking at their attractions and layout)
I believe a more family-oriented atmosphere is the key to the future of amusement parks

for giovanolas american operations (goliath, titan and so on) B&M fabricate their track. for B&Ms european operations, giovanola fabricate their track. as simple as that. a simple case of i'll scratch your back if you scratch mine!

B&M does not fabricate any track. In Europe, as you said, Gio does it. In the US, B&M doesn't. Why would a Swiss company set up shop in the US for just one small part of operations? They are consultant engineers, not fabricators. Some Ohio company does all the fabrication. Does B&M even have a factory? It wouldn't make sense, Intamin, B&M, and Gio are all in the same city (or close to), aren't they? On Gio's website, they show all kinds of Intamin rides, so I assume Intamin doesn't have a factory. Intamin knows they don't need one, they have one avalible to them right there. So, why would B&M think different and build one of thier own? So, what was it we were talking about? ;)

Less than 2 weeks until SFGAm opens!

Many B&M flyers will be flying around in many Six Flags parks by 2003. There are 2. SFGAd is getting one because the park is schedule to have 4 B&Ms by 2004, which currently has 3. SFGAm is the other park which is perhaps the second park to have a B&M flyer. Many strong rumors are saying that another flyer will be flying in IOA with the Jurassic theme. After many positive comments with Superman: Ultimate Flight, no wonder SF is purchasing more, and IOA. Rumors have said that Cedar Point will also be adding a B&M flyer sometime later in the year. If these are true, will flyers make more money than there inverted? We'll just have to wait and see.'

Ahhh it's a ride...

OOH! He knows what's on Great Adventure's schedule! Can I see? Please???

Ride the New England Bush!

lol noo just heard

Ahhh it's a ride...

I think Six Flags Great America will be the winner for the 4th B&M. (1) Inverted, (2) Raging Bull: Steel Twister (3) Iron Wolf: Stand Up, (4) Mostly likely maybe a B&M flyer. Could Great America get something like Air at Altown Towers?

I heard that the next coaster at SFOG will be a B&M hyper. I hope that's not true because I still want my Intamin Hyper.
