KIBeast Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Six Flags Investments Some notable items for 2026: Carowinds will introduce a record-breaking water ride Canada’s Wonderland will add a new record-breaking water attraction King's Island will introduce a new family thrill attraction Knott’s Soak City will receive a water park refresh and aesthetic enhancements Six Flags Magic Mountain will debut a first-of-its-kind coaster in North America Six Flags Great America will celebrate its 50th anniversary, debuting a new kids’ area, commemorative events and park enhancements Six Flags Great Adventure will unveil a record-breaking launch coaster Six Flags Over Texas will unleash a record-breaking dive coaster Six Flags Mexico will introduce a family thrill boomerang coaster So, as far as Kingda Ka, I have noticed that there is no mention of the removal of Zumanjaro. Now, that could mean it will still be announced or, it could also mean that it will also be a re-imagining similar to TT2. However, there's no saying that Zamperla would be the one to do so. Other manufacturers presented bids for TT2 as well, including Intamin. My wish is for Intamin to handle it and if successful, being re-considered for future attractions in the chain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Same here. I thought Intamin should have been involved in the TT2 project from the beginning. I do think it's probable that we will see a similar conversion of Kingda Ka seeing as there's not any demolition permit filed for it like there is for greenlantern, parachute ride, and twister. Also, it is official now that they are removing their skyride. Happy 50th anniversary Great Adventure! Your new coaster didn't open, your log Flume refurbishment got WAY behind schedule, and they just closed two of your major coasters, your top spin, and your skyride. As for six flags over Texas, la vibora and El Diablo getting removed was predictable but I'm still saddened by the fact that it was the last Intamin bobsled still in operation meaning that coaster model is now extinct. I do think the new dive coaster is a great addition for that park though and I hope to get back down there soon especially considering that I love shockwave and with the current trend of closures, I frankly don't trust the new six flags chain to keep maintaining classics like that. Also I'm very interested what we'll see going to magic mountain in 2026... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 Apparently I was mistaken about Kingda Ka. It is definitely being removed. Now why Zumanjaro wasn't mentioned is not clear to me. I am hopeful that Intamin will make a return to the Cedar Fair side of this Six Flags chain one day. It seems their reliability issue is not as bad as once was. The other big sticking point was how they kind of blew off safety concerns after what happened at Cedar Point. I understand that building attractions is an international business, but I would think not having one of the largest regional chains purchasing your rides would have to be a huge oversight. I would be making extra effort to bring them back into a business relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
