1950s themed area.

1950s themed area.

Correct,you're up.
By the way, which of the two would you rather have, 50s or southwest?

Which Six Flags park was supposed to get Shockwave in 1988, until it was decided that we would get it? And why did Six Flags change their mind?

Great Adventure
Easter Weekend 87 mixed with low attendance and a renewed focus on kids/family attractions to bring guests back.

Great Adventure ended up getting GASM though.

They eventually got GASM in 1989, but the park was originally planning on adding a new multiple looping coasting for 1988, but Six Flags decided to give it to us, because Six Flags Great Adventure wasn't seen as a good investment at the time.

I personally would've chose Southwest, because a)We wouldn't have Raging Bull and Giant Drop, and b)I can't think of any "Big Thrill Rides" that can fit a 1950's theme.

The 50's area was planned for what is today Orleans Places. What is now Mardi Gras was going to stay Orleans. Biggest change really would have been the semi abandoned foodplace there now.

What do Lightning Loops and Rolling Thunder at SFGAm have in common (Besides that they were from SFGAdv)

[RollingCoasting]

Rolling Thunder and Lightning Loops both have a B&M hyper coaster on their former spots. (Nitro and Raging Bull)
