Six Flags Great Adventure

[GAcoaster]

In today's earnings call they mentioned increased spending at Great Adventure for next season as the park celebrates its 50th, and confirmed a new coaster is coming. The way it was stated it sounds like they got a deal on a coaster that had been designed for another park and was cancelled...

Is there any speculation as to what type of coaster?

 

[GAcoaster]

There is some speculation that when BGW cancelled/delayed their launched "Dragon Spyre" Intamin coaster, that Six Flags may have been offered it at a discount...

Gosh that would be disappointing

 

[GAcoaster]

I personally don't see it happening since that was designed to use BGW's unique terrain.

Maybe a project that was slated for China and cancelled? Or something they had planned for one of the Cedar Fair parks like Knott's? Any park that's relatively flat could be a candidate...

Thinking similar to @GAcoaster but not in the sense of Drachen Spire.

I'm thinking the once planned Circuit Breaker from COTALand.

I definitely hope that's the case, since quite frankly the whole Drachen Spire concept feels like a waste for any major park.

Now this idea on the other hand, if Great Adventure were to land the tilt coaster? I think this would be a better deal by far, and it's one that I would plan a trip for if they announce it.

Seems to of been cracked, SFGAdv is seemingly getting the first Vekoma Super Boomerang in the N.A. region!

 

[JungleSkip]

Just what that park needs, another small throughput coaster.

 

[GAcoaster]

They don't care about capacity if it sells more FlashPass.

I REALLY hope it's not that, or if it is that it will have the ability to load a train while the other is running.

I know Vekoma has gotten better over time but I still think of them as rough, poorly made rides.

It would be incredible if they gave this a Batman and Robin theme as a tribute to the Chiller!

[GAcoaster]

Well, rumors were true...

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Should’ve been themed to Mr. Freeze

 

[JungleSkip]

Oof, my capacity!

Still, I look forward to riding it. Should be fun

 

[GAcoaster]

Should've been a full circuit coaster or at the very least have a turntable loading system so one can load while one is on the course...

 

[SkiBum]

Vekoma must have issued some serious coupons discounting the cost of a boomerang.

Well, they're finally making progress on the new coaster:


The new glamping experience pricing looks INSANE:

Even for four guests, that is wild. Absolutely not

Ohhhh boy..can't wait to see the influencers carry water with that one.
