Hell also tell them information like with the two coasters in the next 4 years. He doesnt go into all that much detail when he tells them things like that but its for an obvious reason.
Blah Blah Blah, anyone could look up that information i did, right here
And make up anything i want. Also most company confrence calls are for people of the media and accounting and finance firms not lay people and certainly not coaster enthusists. I could easily pick a name from that above list and say, "Well so and so talks to Hue and this that and whatever." Seriously folks lets be realitstic here.
The next coaster should be a surprise, not some 13 year olds RCT fantasy...
Hey you dont have to believe me and I dont care if you dont. Im not posting rumors because Im not like that. Thats not how I got his name. It wasnt a conference call it was a phone call. If you would like to meet the people who talk to him I could have that arranged but I dont find it necessary. Anyone can choose to believe me or not. I dont post rumors since Im not like that.
Plus Im not 13. You can check up on that if you would like.
2006- Floorless Coaster (Ice Mountain removed)
2007- Mega Theming the park
2008- Repainting season, and re-making-brand new. small Roller coaster
2009- New roller coaster! Propobly X
2014- parks 30th anniversary- MEGA COASTER
Ugh, not likely. And the parks 30th anniverary would we next year(or the next, not sure how they do it, because the 25th was in 2000 and PGAs was 01 ), not in 2014. Im assuming you meant 50th anniversary.
Well in 2010 we should get something like X for 35th anv. but in 2006 Floorless. I think that in 2008 they shoyuld build coaster that would go have underground- First Underground roller coaster. That would be Cool

For example Batman, Giant Drop, Viper, and American Eagle. What things do Batman and Superman have in comon? First off, they both are super hero themes. Next they both are from B&M. Following that Jim Wintrode was General Manger during both projects. Next they both are short intense rides. Following, the music gets you ready for the ride, gets your blood pumping. The key differences...First ONe is an invert, and the other is a flyer. Second theming..one has a geat deal of it, the other doesnt. Why is that such a big deal? Believe it or not themeing plays tricks on your mind making you believe things that arent really happening. Like batman for instance your are being taken into the sewers and up to the batcave...Most people ctually feel like they are there. Whereas superman a few superman logos, a few sighns, and music and Premier Parks thought they had a highly themed ride.
Jim Wintrode was General Manger during both projects.
After all the times I talked to Mr Wintrode I came to the assumptions he loved Highly themed rides and wanted more of them, but why superman being low themed? Why? What I can not seem to find is a logical reason, because the Amusment Industry "Anything is possible," and that is extremly true at Six Flags Great America.
BTW this is a Theme Park, not an Amusment Park like Cedar Point.
I dont know why you think anything is possible at great america.

I really hope, though, at some point we get a really great dark ride (more along the lines of a Men In Black at Universal Orlando, or maybe something like Spiderman at IOA), it's one of the last things our park doesn't have that a good themepark should.
Not going to happen, though I know you probibly know that and you are just dreaming for the day to come. Six flags doesnt have $90,000,000 or any desire to build an imersive dark ride. Ever since premier took over the company's main focus was operating more themeparks and building more coasters. Dark rides have never been a priority, except for scooby doo rides, and themed queues died with warner brothers. Im actually surprised about the 2004 season and what they are doing to sfgadv in 2005, as well as the new waterark, but between the time premier took over and the 2003 season the theming wasnt all that hot for superman and batman rides.
The spongebob idea is great and very likely to happen. They allready have it at a few other parks right now. We would have to wait until 2006 though because we have to wait for the stargate sg-3000 contract to go up.
BTW, does anyone know where i can see some good superman pics from six flags mexico? RCDB has some but I was wondering about the pictures you talked about that had good theming.
Let see, I think we should get all posible types of coasters
We have:
- wooden
- sit- down
- inverted
- flying
- stand- up
We don't have:
- suspended
- bobsled
- 4th dimension
- pipeline
So mayby we should get 1st floorless, then suspended and others. So SF would be " ALL KINDA OF COASTERAS"- Six Flags Get More!
I think a pipline would be great. Not like an astro world one but one that does acrobatic moves and stuff? How many of you have been on one? In my opinion they are generally smooth, and very thrilling.
A pipeline that does acrobatic moves unfortunately sounds too much like TOGO's Viper at SFGAdv, the most painful steel coaster I've been on. (Wooden coasters Mean Streak and Son of Beast can be more painful). It rides on top of the rails, but it's based on TOGO's pipeline. Of course, it's probably just beacuse it's from TOGO. I assume that their pipelines that don't make turns are much less painful. Intamin's lone pipeline is in Kuwait.
B&M's mastery of the zero-G roll has made pipeline design irrelevent.
