That probably took up what space was left in my brain. But hey, what can a couple of bangs against a wall fix?

Nitro never struck me as needing a new paint job, other than to simply get rid of the awful color scheme it currently has. But I miss the flashing lights in the queue--they were kinda neat.

I don't think any of their rides need to go, other than Ka if they can't get it to be reliable without eating a hole in their budget. They need more attractions interspersed with what is already there. They need to fill in all of those ugly empty plots before they should consider creating any more of them.

dive coaster is a 20 million dollar bandaid. It wouldn't even stand out at SFGA after 5 years. It would be like batman. superman, or medusa. Not nitro, ka, or toro. That being said I think it will one day soon replace GASM.

We have too many Steel coasters as it is. A GG woodie over the lake and through the woods would be amazing.

Don't say you have too many steel coasters, or the old, infamous ride rotation may come a visitin' and take one out to go somewhere else...or they may pull a Paramount Parks and remove a ride to replace it with something else.

Just as long as it's not Nitro or Rolling Thunder. :)

I am not sure which ride they would rotate, besides for SUF but that has no turn out value really so I don't think many people would object.

My first looping coaster was the rockin' roller coaster in Florida. SUF was the first one that made me feel like I was getting a wedgie.

Good. now let's get back on topic. SUF is most likely to get rotated. If so, what will replace it?

And why do you think it is most likely to be rotated?

No way. An impulse is simply asking for Chiller back. SUF should just be turned into a nice garden which it is now. That was a mistake cramming it into the parking lot.

No, it traps people on line on busy days.  It's throughput is terrible! It's like Batman...except it loads slowly.

a.  B and M stand-ups, and stand-up coasters in general, were a fad whose time has passed.  There is a reason the last one sold in the whole world was The Georgia Scorcher. 

b. Given Six Flags' current financial position, to expect a new B and M stand-up coaster is about as realistic as to expect the park to give away free, unlimited food of the utmost quality with admission, which of course will cost no more than it does not.  notgonnahappen.com

If the park were to have any chance of getting a stand-up at all, I would have to say we would get Chang.

...which only has two trains.  Not a good fit at Great Adventure unless they were to buy another train. . .

well they should re-introduce the standup. there are none around here and people would get a kick out of it.
