Found this on screamscape

2007 - New Attraction(s) - Rumor - (8/16/06) According to the rumor mill the park could add two small attractions next season. One will be a new family ride of some kind while the other could be a thrill ride from S&S. If the closing of the Freefall is a sign, perhaps the park may be planning on replacing it with a new style tower ride. Of course S&S makes a few good new style flat rides as well, so maybe they?ll go for their own giant Screamin? Swing. It?s all rumor right now... anyone know more?

I got a email from some one addressed to GAInsider saying that they know some one...yada yada yada...and that we are getting a Thrill Ride from S&S and possibly a family ride. So this was probably the same email screamscape got. We will see what the park has in store for us later this season if they announce something officially.

I've gotten simliar emails over the last 3 years. Eventually this person will be right I guess lol

From what i heard on my last day we are getting a thrill ride or two. for those of who dont know i was released by the new management, because of the budget issues.

Bummer

. I hate to ever hear such a thing and I really do hope you are able to pickup something else soon. And I hope management has learned enough lessons on what not to do for next season.

^ Lets hope they learned a lesson

Anyway on S&S, Thats really intresting, I guess it could happen, a Screamin Swing, MaXair or a S&S Tower would be a GREAT thing to see, We have space for all of them so lets hope the rumor holds some truth

I don't know about an S&S, they could be going bankrupt soon.

^ The 4-D in Japan will determine that... $:-\$

I wish they could get a bigger version of Skyhawk at CP. That is a very fun ride and IMO its not too scary for the younger kids who dont fit on the kid rides anymore and are too small to fit on the bigger coasters.

WadeJ · « **Reply #10 on:** August 23, 2006, 08:50:13 AM »

/\ Has anybody heard/read about how reliable Skyhawk has been? Just curious. I agree, a ride like that would be a great addition. We could end up with 1 or 2 decent rides for under 5 million and actually have money left to FIX the crap that isn't working well.

Dubya91 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 23, 2006, 06:16:43 PM »

^ Hey Wade, Fix is a very big word in the SFI dictionary, not many people know the true meaning of it

Ha i also got laid of but they gave me the choice to come over to HH im now a lifeguard, but they better not take down freefall, and what about chiller i have no clue about that, but i hope it doesnt shut down .

It didnt break down once the five days I was there, but i might have caught it on a good week.

Im hope we get a maxair type ride. I couldn't get enough of it at CP. Plus its a people eater, something a big park like GA needs.

overlord · « **Reply #15 on:** August 25, 2006, 04:14:12 AM »

Too bad Huss filed for bankruptcy. One day we will get a frisbee of some sort and wont get rid of it. I would love to see something new out there on the market.

That is, if the manager doesn't transfer to Chicago again!

Both MaXair and Delirium, and particularly the latter, have been down a LOT. There are some serious issues with the parking of the ride at the end of the cycle, and there apparently were bigger issues still at Kings Island. The ride went down late last season and required some serious repairs, or so I am told.

/\ I've kinda heard the same type of comments from "from those in the know" so I was curious if there was anybody else that heard the same thing.

On a positive note, S&S has new owners (though its made up of S&S people lol) so they should last at least another 2 years before running out of money again.

matt · « **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2006, 04:32:15 PM »

^^Now that I think about it when I was at CP Maxair did have problems parking. That was only once and went down for 10 minutes tops.
