No.

If there's not an optometry themed house for Haunt 20/20, I will be very upset.

So @collin.klopfstein and I are members of the ParkFans Forums, which means that we will be among the first people to see any blueprints or site plans for KD Project 2021. Once we find them, we will post them here and keep you guys updated on any new developments!

Maybe even Taylor from Coaster Studios.
It would be a dream come true if I could meet him! His parodies are so funny!

Tomorrow, Universal Studios Japan will make a major announcement regarding their new-for-2020 Super Nintendo World area. I have started this thread to discuss the announcement and talk about our most anticipated rides from there. In case you missed it, here's the tease of the land that was released in 2017:
Here's a video of the groundbreaking from 2017:

It was conceived early on. The docs I have are from 97-99, and they're pretty interesting. The 96 docs indicate that the park would get an Intamin Launch Coaster in 98, water park expansion for the next two years, the proposed flyer in 01, the RCCA Wooden Coaster (listed as Hyper) in 02, and Drop Zone in 03. There were other undated projects as well, such as a new multilevel go-kart area and a Star Trek attraction. Only 2 of the proposals that were anticipated in early 1997 did not see the light of day, and those were the 01/02 expansion projects. The fascinating thing is the 01-02 projects nearly saw the light of day. I knew the story told by @Shaggy was true since KD was well on their way on developing the flyer as well. The flyer would have been tucked into the area besides Grizzly and the wooden coaster would have been on the far side of the park along the interstate. However, when Paramount axed the flyer project for KD, they needed a roller coaster to fill the gap. They relocated the CGA S&S coaster to KD, and installed Apple Zapple (then Richochet) the following season.
The fascinating thing was that the wooden coaster proposal was the second giant wooden coaster project canned by KECO/Paramount in the 1990s. The first one would have been a giant Dinn coaster over where The Bat stands today.
I should also add, that Great America had their fair share of dropped proposals. There was a concept called the "Brady Bunch Groovy Train" Morgan Coaster that involved two elevator lifts. The ride was supposed to go in the plaza across from where RailblaZer stands today. The ride had an elevator take riders up 201 feet, before they dropped 201.1 feet. Riders would then encounter an 157 foot airtime hill, 143 foot heavily banked turn (like on Phantom at Kennywood), 112 foot airtime hill, 20 foot hill, and then a 100 foot curving hill into the brake run elevator which took riders back to ground level.
I would like to see these documents! They could be an interesting read.

I say very likely, and if it happens, expect it to be by RMC.

I suspect the goal is to sell it for scrap steel.
So, sell it to Michigan's Adventure?

I don't mean to be rude, but why is this thread still open?

I love that tweet at the bottom of the screenshot: "Oh sweet, you're RMCing it!"

Ressurrecting an old thread. Over 10 years later, boy do I wish we could do something like this again sometime. Like a KI scavenger hunt would be super cool to do again! And ERT on MT, Banshee, DB, and/or Orion!
I agree. Could someone please set this up?

This might be the first year that Six Flags Magic Mountain gets nothing!

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has announced Sidewinder Safari, which is a Ragin' Cajun clone from the looks of the announcement video. This will be the second roller coaster in a row for them. It will also be part-animal exhibit.

Since Six Flags will be making their 2020 announcements tomorrow at 5 am, I thought I would start this thread to discuss what we think of each park's new addition. Six Flags Great America's has gotten leaked, so I'll just post the video with the leak here:
When an official announcement is made, I will also be posting it here.
Rumor: Six Flags Might Actually Be Announcing 2021 Additions on August 27th

We'll see whether or not this rumor is true tomorrow. Personally, I hope that it is.
