Who will get the next Giovanola hypercoaster

There aren't too many Six Flags properties left without hypers. I think SFWoA's next coaster will be a hyper, but we have no way of knowing whether it will come from Giovanola. Given the history of cloning at Giovanola, albeit short, I think they would give a cloned hyper to a less 'prized' park like SFOG or SFKK. SFWoA seens to be a good candidate for a B&M Hyper since Six Flags seems to care a lot about that park, and original rides would seem more likely.

Soggy, omaybe one of the problems with goliath( I know i am going to get banned for saying this but i dont care) ios probably becuase after you get off the thing has been soo stressed that it cant take any more weight, youve made me mad to many times soggy. And only 6 timessssssss. come on i have been there more than 100 times since G opened

As much as I'd like SFEG to get something, I'd have to agree SFWoA looks like its a given. Unfortunately, I'd also bet it's either a clone of Titan, or a clone with some hops at the end.

Then again, they might design something that curves around the lake, wouldn't that be something! A Giovanola out and back, that'd make my day. Plus, it could bring the whole complex together, make it look more like one large park instead of 2 parks with one admission. Here's hopin'...

Paramount's Carowinds really needs one, but won't be the next to recieve it. They have no tall coasters. The tallest coaster is Top Gun at approx. 115ft. A hypercoaster would be a great addition.

I'd like to think that SFSTL would get a new hyper (whether it be a Giovanola, B&M, or Intamin), mostly for selfish "I want it to be near me" reasons. Actually, I think a Giovanola with a Titan/Goliath layout would fit in quite nicely and provide a contrast from Missouri's other hypercoaster (The one I never talk about ;) ). Although SFSTL appears to have room for much expansion, the Giovanola's take up a relatively small footprint (for a hyper) and leave a lot of room for further development.

I loved Goliath when I was fortunate enough to visit SFMM last summer. While I don't think it's as good as the other two hypers I've ridden (Mamba and Magnum), it's extremely unique, silky smooth, and a positive G-fest. The coaster ran three train operation perfectly the day I visited, and I've never heard reliability issues before this post (maybe I'm in the dark). I don't see how one of these can be a bad addition to any park.

I believe that SFWoA will get some kind of hyper next year. SF has three manufacturers of hypers.
1.) B & M with Raging Bull and Nitro
2.) Intamin with all the Superman coasters,
3.)Giovanola - Titan and Goliath.

Any of these three builders would be fine for me. However considering the original question: I think SFWoA is a good contender for the Giovanola hyper.
