Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

/\ Who told you that? You can't just blatent say they have to take out a coaster to build a new one, cause it's not true.

There are plenty of places, just look at some of the topics in the SFGAm forum. We've named probably a good 6 places where a new coaster could go.

Well first off Playerplex, you can't just make up your own facts.
Also i'm willing to put money against your "theory." Only time will tell...

B&M Floorless Wanter, since you've been there, can you answer my question 7 or 8 posts above?

Dragster usually runs 5 of the 6 trains.(But they did run 6 parts of last year and might this year too). They run the trains in pairs and 2 will be in a holding section after the station. 2 will be in the loading station and 2 will be in the unload station. There are also 2 blocks before the unload. I think
I got it right.

Yes that is correct with how they run Dragster. There is a 'front' and 'back' loading station and one for each unloading station. There is one block behind both unloads and then there are 2 positions in front of the loading station where they launch trains from the one farthest forward. This year I saw them run 6 trains once, but all the other times I've been there the red train was off getting worked on so it was only 5 trains.

oh sorry i havent been on vu but i think it will be or below 300 because it wont have enough room to launch up to 120 mph because the ride length is 2480 and ttd is 2800 , and if they do more with the ride like xcellerator it will take up all the room and there wont be that much room for the brakes. so it cant be a record breaking coaster.

Not trying to be mean but if you guys would read a little more, it says that it might be a world record breaker or an EAST COAST record.

Translation: Yes it will be a the tallest coaster on the East Coast, but won't break the record for tallest coaster (TTD).

Just to update ya'll, a very large and deep hole has been dug at SfGadv. It will most likely be where the top hat will be located. Record breaker or not, this ride is getting me excited.(And we don't even know the specifics yet.)

For if you didn't know yet, Intamin track is on site. Something that just came to me, track/supports are also coming very early due to the early opening date(april) for the park.(instead of May in which Dragster opened.)

Wow that is very unique paint job. But Intamin usually has some of the coolest. Like Goliath at SFH.

Certainly not I. I do want to go there sometime though, because most of their coasters look awesome. :)
