Huss Enterprise 2G/2GH or 2GH Plus. Great new take on the enterprise with open single seats, 90 pivot and tilt position option. This would a great "Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth".

Blue Fire cost was 20M Euros, that's like 22.5M USD. SF is not keen lately on high priced coasters, high coast dive coasters, giga's, etc.. Hence the 4D S&S that cost 7M being cloned. I would happy be with something like Full Throttle at MM, that cost 6M. See if Premier Rides can make a longer one for under 10M. Also, it could be just the 2nd with the top hat feature, but just maybe 3500ft instead of 2200ft

They operate their parks off of that belief. Therefore, they want variety within their parks NOT around them. They don't expect 99% of their customers to visit all 13 parks. I only regularly visit GAm, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Valleyfair, Nick Universe, and Mount Olympus. I am not the 1% who travels to other Six Flags parks. If you are, you certainly have the money to avoid other Six Flags parks and visit independently owned ones instead. Don't complain about it, get over it and visit some other park.

I agree with what you say!!! I've only been to 2 Six Flags parks in my whole life. But I've got plans to hit SFMM at some point and probably SFStL

I had a dream last night of an Intamin accelerator coaster that'd terrain based in the woods of Mardi Gras so all you can see is the launch track, brake run and crest of the big hill. It would be a smaller model like 125-175 feet tall so it can also be a complete full circuit rideImage

Look at the space an Intamin takes up and then google map and measure the space he's talking about

Yeah, just because a Rapids Ride is there, doesn't mean a coaster can't. This park in Finland put a Spinner over their Rapids ride:

A park in Finland..end of sentence. SF has zero inspiration, thus the cloning of family coasters. Besides space, the the thought SF is spending how much an Intamin cost is highly unlikely. The 7M family coasters and sub 10M RMC's are b/c they don't want to spend the 20M for a dive at any park or the 25M for a Giga, which all 4 of the top CF parks have...3 built since 2010.

Dude seriously, if you want a Giga or a Dive Coaster visit Cedar Point. Just because Six Flags makes good business decisions doesn't make them "uninspirational"

^ Hear hear. Or bbd should just be donating all his money to Six Flags so he can get giga and dive coasters, provided he has $100 million off hand.

The good business decision by SF that produce the same revenue as CF though SF has 3.5M more visitors.

Demon could be revamped into a Chance Hyper GT-X like Lightning Run. They could keep the station, lift hill + high turnaround, corkscrews, and helix finale, then the rest of the ride is all new track. The drop would be steeper, the loops ironically replaced by Turn of the Century style airtime hills, and then the rest of the space would be Lightning Run style banked turns and smaller ejector airtime hills. The corkscrews and helix could of course be replaced by small ejector air bunny hops, but I'd prefer the corkscrews be retained and retracked.

Reasons

1)You mentioned it's a family coaster - the park is getting a new family coaster in the 4D
2)The ride is horrible. The cars are horrible, restraints are relics that bang your ears on any turn, loop, etc..
3) It's outdated, slow, non thrilling. It's a time warp back to the 70's to go on it. That's not a positive
4)It takes up a large space in a prime area.
5)low ridership

Last annual report SF claims the park has 30 acres of potentially land for development. Besides the are you mentioned, I think Hurricane Harbor expansion will occur eventually with a water coaster and Bonzai slides that will shave off more of the left side of the parking lot.
