I would rather have this than the FLY coaster honestly. But with the kind of money they would be dropping on this than why not at least a hyper.

Because they already have a hyper, right? I wouldn’t shed any tears over losing Goliath, obviously, but I can understand why they’d rather market the largest dive coaster in California rather than a coaster similar to one they already have.
I got that as a survey question, which was supposed to have a NDA attached to it, lol, so I wasn't saying openly.
Personally, I'm over the dive coaster sensation... once past the initial drop, I think they're pretty boring. Plus, we already have two in SoCal (Emperor and Hangtime... yes, I'm counting that).
But there's no denying they are a big hit with GP, so I can understand it. And it would technically be a giga, I suppose.
EDIT: I only now noticed that the web address in the survey question is from Cedar Fair. Interesting this may be one of the first things they're looking into as part of the merger.

Sooooooo…. Take everything I said a few pages ago about SFMM and a giga coaster, and throw it out the window.
That was then, and this is now.
Cause apparently, the new company IS planning “the big one” for 2027/2028. No other details yet, but that survey that just went out? Forget about the “dive” aspect as that was just copied and pasted from other CF surveys that went out earlier this year. What they are really gaging is how people will respond to “300 feet”.
So I have to admit when I’m wrong lol.
As for 2025 (if anyone still cares). An announcement date is coming soon.

So--focusing on 2 coasters over the three year period; 2025 being the potential (as @ethanuniversal brought up) Vekoma, and 2028 being a push for potential LA2028 Tourism crowds?
One has to wonder if SFCorp is looking at Knotts in this regard as-well; or atleast, if something is being eyed at.
This makes a lot of sense. Giving us the appetizer now and then the big one for the Olympics. Kinda sucks our long-awaited coaster is getting kicked further down the road but as long as we get it eventually that’s all I want.

Went to the park Sunday for the last DC event
It was hot, Justice League seems to be running slower then before....it had a small line but felt like the line was barley moving. I was a single rider so that helped. The ride is not in 3D any more and they are big on you not filming, I was videoing the Q and a worker came out reminding me no filming. Also the outside for this Q could use some shade, its 100 degree's and your making people wait out int he heat with no shade? I just don't get it
The DC event is fun enough but the issue is, its hot and shade is a real issue in the DC area. Batman was literally melting in this heat, his eye liner was running down his face. Got to meet Robin and seems like he is based on damian wayne, he was telling me both Batman and he were trained by the league of shadows.
No Super Girl on the last day
Lots of fun and cute interactions like Wonder Woman remembering a little girl's name she met before
Harley and Joker by far get the longest line and I want to say that the actors seemed to have really grown in their roles since they started back in June. Joker was having a blast with guests
I only stayed for the first dance and villains, it was just a long day and too hot to have much more fun for me. I was just drained from the sun, no idea how people can work 8 hours in these conditions
