Any word or thought on a ride for 2006???

We'll just have to keep updates on any situation that takes place in FT.
I.E. More marks, digging, etc.

I'll take a look at the area when/if I go Sunday.

They should build a ride that swings on a giant pendulem while spinning, and call it maXair.

Oh wait, they already have that

OnPoint seems to be a very well thought out idea. It is going remarkably well with constant updates and answers to comments.

It could be just a new inovative thing CP came up with or just a way to amuse us ethusiast until the real reason for the blog comes around.

Things that make you go hmmm?? :)

I figured out what Kinzel is doing. He is going to add a Top Spin this year. Then in 07, He is going to break the addition pattern and add two coasters and blow everyone away. : )

If they add blue or green flags then they might add something to do with water.

Addint two coasters or two attractions or two of anything for one year is a waste. Marketing two new rides will bring in people but would be a lot better if they came out separate years so you each one would draw crowds. Two new rides in one year then 4 years of nothing new or one ride every other year. The second is a better option so I just don't see the point adding two at a time. Plus it is expensive.

I agree with you MrScott. That OnPoint is our ticket to the new ride.

We're on to them.....;)

Oh we've got a ticket to ride! Oh, ho, we've got a ticket to rihihide. We've got a ticket to ride, and we don't care!

....alright, sorry, Beatlemania took over me again.

Info: (maybe you did not know this...if you did I apologize...) There is another (6 flags Jersey,maybe(?)) That looks and rises EXACTLY like TTD, But is somewthing like 30(give or take 10?) feet taller. I saw it on the news (Maybe???) Mid-to late May or early June-ish. Can't rememeber where, but I am 85% pos it is in the U.S.

That is one of the most ADHD'ed posts I have ever seen!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows about Kingda Ka...oh and it's still shut down from when it tore itself to pieces during a test launch.

^ I've never heard of this ride. Thank You so very much for filling all of us in on that ride at Six Flags Great Adventure.

WOW!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!!

I apologize if anyone knew about it...I was not pos it was KingdaKa...Stop with the sarcasm already!

SRY!!!...I saw it on the news a couple of months ago. No need to be rude...

How'd you figure this out? I'm not trying to Jump on you or anything but...did you hear this from insiders from the park or did you do some research? Just curious I won't bash you or anything.

^I think he's referring to the construction code that e_x_i_t english put up a few pages back.

How do the sub-terranean codes possibly lead to that? Sure thats an option. But I could just as easily say:

Kinzel is going to build a 543 foot, 240 mph, 18 inversion, cumulo-strata, inverted, floorless, flyer with THX sound built into the headrests.

Just because I say that Kinzel is going to do it, doesn't mean that Kinzel is actually going to do it.

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. ;) Can we have DVD players too?

Music in the headrests eh? That would be amazing!

^ For about 6 months. Until the audio has problems and only works in 1 or 2 out of the 3 trains so they decide to scrap it all together.

With the popularity of Italian Job and Test Track, why is there no talk of an outdoor auto-themed ride? Maybe 6 to 8 passengers per car so families could ride it together. A couple of crossovers would help minimize the footprint. Figure on a high-acceleration straightaway, a couple of sharply banked curves, an above-ground concrete tunnel, a chicane, splash through a little water hazard, a bunny hop for a bit of air time, and a screeching brake run (sound played through speakers to minimize tire wear).

Now that would actually be an excellent idea if they ever wanted to replace the Antique Cars in Frontier Town. It can be themed to an old fashioned "Tin Lizzy" theme and fit in perfectly in the town square area.

For the first 5 years....then they'll take off the old fashioned "convertible roof" claiming that one opened and got ripped off during a launch....then the headlights and taillights will stop getting replaced, and before long the screaching will just sound like feedback through some weathered and crappy speakers....then in 2013 we start talking about why doesn't CP do another themed coaster, forgetting about the past mistakes (DT, TTD, TL:SD - That's Tin Lizzy: Sunday Driver for those wondering)
