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.
