^Is all you do now is just post the same thing over and over again? The dead horse you're continually beating is decomposing at this point.

Also, when Banshee was being decoded, a good portion of the members of this site were dead set on it not having any larger stats than Raptor, but yet...

So riddle me this people who are on the KK conspiracy train- if they're taking KK down, for, as you say, to let TT2 reign supreme, how does that now factor in with the very real possibility that TT2 may be torn down if Zamperla fails to deliver? Also, 'lackluster' is a very subjective word to use.

@BoddaH1994 posted its $25 million over 2 years. Must be some expensive shows.

You're saying that in a thread which has the title of having Herschend giving a major investment to KK. Kinda falls flat.

There is a certain vacant spot that's in the zoning necessary for KK to build at taller heights which would be perfect for something cool...

I'll do my favorite per-coaster- Adventure Express- The helix down into the 3rd tunnel Backlot- The s-curves after the helix Banshee- 0g roll and that long drop into the batwing Bat- the fan curve over the station Beast- The helix and the series of drops between the 2nd tunnel and the 2nd lift Diamondback- The hammerhead, especially on the right side of the train on the outer rows Flight of Fear- the launch and the build up to the corkscrew at the end Invertigo- the fact it can pull enough G's to make me grey out and nearly black out every ride Mystic Timbers- the 2nd big drop into the valley, it's still flying and it's a good sustained ejector air moment Orion- the 2nd and 3rd hills with the lateral airtime while also losing sight of the horizon for a bit of disorientation due to the combination of the upward angle and the overbanked elements Racer- the bunny hill between where it splits and the turn around, they always have insane air at that part Defunct rides- Vortex- the first drop in the back of the train SOB- the first drop and loop Firehawk- the overbank hill King Cobra- either the loop or the trick track

Batman has darker stories and themes to work from that, IMO, works better to add a dark ride or elaborate queue than other heroes. I think with Flash, you could do some clever lighting packages to give the feeling of speed in queues or on ride. Having the themes play in the station would help too, especially in the cases of Batman and Superman. SFGAdv wasn't perfect on theming either. Their Superman Ultimate Flight and, at the time, Bizarro just had a few images of comic panels and character history in their respective queues. I do like what they did to retheme Bizarro back to Medusa though.

I would also like to add to the opinion that I would be alright with any DC theming being added. Granted I've only been to one Six Flags park in SFGAdv, but I thought what they did on their DC line up was pretty decent, at least on par or in some cases better than any of CF's attempt at theming. I really dig the queues for Batman :The Ride and Dark Knight, and while I didn't get to ride it back on my first visit in 2000, I did go through the queue of Batman and Robin: The Chiller and was okay with that.

I'm for just taking the TRTR box down and doing something more akin to Rivertown there like a decent water ride or a flat ride.

As much as I'd hate it, I wouldn't blame them in all honesty and SFOT is in dire need of a big coaster. They haven't had a big installment since New Texas Giant.

I feel this is another knock against going with coasters with a 100+ mph launch speeds- low lifespans. I have heard random unsubstantiated swirlings of Superman at SFMM also being eyed for removal.

Another thing about not having AE open at Winterfest- Arrow brakes hate any sort of precipitation. That's why they always go down during any significant rain.

I might not do a TR on my visit for the 90% last day, but I'll throw out a few observations- - Mystic Timbers was absolutely HAULING at night, it's the kind of ride I've been hoping for as it's aged. Hopefully it's not too much of an outlier - Loved the marches and Dixieland music in Coney Mall, please keep that KI - The KI Haunt music lineup is abysmal this season - I hope the lighting at night was only indicative of Haunt and not during normal operations and they just didn't change it to normal lighting out of convenience, otherwise- the park needs better lighting at night.

You guys, Winterfest has already started.
