Theme Park Discussion / North America 2015 coasters

It's coming up on that part of the year where things start coming out.

 

 

Quick rundown of theories.

 

Magic Mountain-Colossus closing is confirmed, all assumptions is that an RMC makeover is on it's way.However, it likely won't be open till 2016 at the earliest. 

 

SF New England-Pretty much the same story as above, but with Cyclone.

 

Carowinds-Sounds like a B&M hyper is all but confirmed at this point. Probably similar to Canada Wonderland's Leviathan. 

 

Knoebels-Looks like a Zierer tower ride.

 

 

Busch Gardens Williamsburg-Looks like a premier S;UF clone is very likely.

The 4-Dimensional theater, as well as Roaring Rapids and Dive Bomber Alley all at SFOT have been closed. Speculate away

^Morganfan- Do you have a Facebook? I you do hceck out the Texas Thrill seekers page. Lots of good stuff. I think the SFOT attraction will just be a dark ride though. 

 

Holiday World is also doing some interesting things. Here's an image of footers being poured, which are distinctly not for a traditional wooden ride, and the square shape has many thinking B&M could be involved. The ride will supposedly cost 22 million. For Comparison, Banshee was 24 mil and  Wild Eagle was 20, so they could squeeze a lot of ride out of that price tag. We'll see in 4 days! They've had a great viral campaign. http://www.holidayworld.com/66days/

 

A B&M at Holiday World? Might give me a reason to head back there again. 

Austin: Thanks! Joined.

There's some speculation now that SFFT is teasing a coaster, perhaps a classic styled woody. They've launched a teasing campaign on twitter. 

 

SFNE has posted they will announce they're new something August 28th, so perhaps the date all SF announcments will be that day. 

 

Holiday World's reveal is tomorrow. I don't think anyone has the slightest clue what it'll be. All we know is 21-22 million dollars and probably a steel ride. Been a while since we've had such a hyped but secretive coaster. I'm very excited. 

^That's news to me about SFFT but great news nonetheless.  It looks like such a unique. impressive Six Flags park that could do with more attention.

Lots of people are saying a launched B&M flyer for Holiday World.  Would be cool but I have my doubts about it.  We'll see tomorrow but I'm definitely excited for it.

Cue the launched B&M designs!

For those who haven't heard.

 

Launched B&M wingrider baby!

 

Good on Holiday World for not labeling those two overbanks as inversions! I know SF would do that...

looks awesome

I think the end of the layout looks a little uninspired, could've had something more badass there...

BUT DAMN THE REST LOOKS FREAKING COOL!!!

Here is the layout with the background. It looks much better.

 

i love how it breaks through that building in the end, good layout

it`s really funny ... a B&M launch . I think i`ve seen all

If this will be the real Layout ( I don`t think so , cause a fan made it) AWESOME

 

Out & Back Layout of B&M and a bit like Leviathan at CW.

Couple new developments

 

-Six Flags announcing all new rides for 2015 on August 28th.

 

-Fiesta Texas is still teasing. No idea what they've got up their sleeves. I'm thinking that S&S 4d concept is the most likely but not sure at all.

 

-Hersheypark has been teasing something for 2015, some thoughts it may be an interesting dark ride or perhaps a coaster. Their announcement is Tuesday, so a short wait.

 

-Hard Rock Park has had some of it's coasters getting removed. 

 

Anybody want to speculate on anything?

I think the S&S 4d free spin is going to Hershey, seems to fit as they have a lack of space.

 

Also the Mantis conversion to floorless rumors have started to pop up again.  

I'd forgotten about the Mantis stuff. An S&S 4d would be neat with the circus theme, could see that to. I'd be awesome indoors.
