Why?! They have Kingda Ka. We need another good, thrilling flat. Revy and Chaos are good but too small in my opinion.

We will find out soon enough. And who is to say that most of these rides will go into storage for a year until adequate infrastructure is built?

Next year parks will probably be getting rides from astroworld. What rides do you hope we get from astroworld?

^ We have 3 inverted. BTR, V2 and Vu. ST is the only coaster I found interesting at astroworld.

No, it is a flying coaster. I think that we should get that Diablo Falls ride (i think that is the name). It is a waterslide with Roaring Rapids tubes, it would be great for Hurricane Harbor, especially since the crowds are so large there.

The train is beneath the track. Thus, it qualifies as an invert.

Going by this logic, then Iron Dragon and the rest of the suspended coasters are not called suspended coasters, they are inverted also. Superman is called a flying coaster and the Roller Coaster Database also does not refer to them as inverted. I trust the website, sorry.

My point is that they already have a high-thrill coaster, at least we could use a high-thrill flat.

Word of Warning, SWAT spends about 50%+ of it's time down, it's very unreliable.
Their Spinning Rapids could be cool though (also could fit in the waterpark)
Basically everything else there flat wise, we have it already or something similar. Coaster wise we dont have much room for stuff like that, especially used, though Greased Lightning would be nice

It's made by S&S Power and can hold 48 passengers.

I doubt we will get SWAT, but who knows. I don think I would ride it anyway, because I would also get sick.

It's actually a very tame ride, which happens to take up a load of groundspace.
