I'm pretty excited for it, Gadv is my home park, and I rode Riddlers Revenge and thought it was awesome. I love stand ups.

No, it's just a big plot of pavement that happens to have a bunch of equally spaced lines. [sillyme]

Just a thought, I think its stupid the new B&M's dont have pre-drops. the pre-drops were actually very good for the ride structurally, because they absorbed the tension that occurs when you pull a car up the lift, so making the ride structurally more stable. they also added a great snap. anyways...

They worked around that by speeding up the chain at the end. If removing predrop would make the ride unstable, they wouldn't remove them.

They can and will always do whatever they like, deal with it. A name isn't a big deal it is the ride and theming interaction that count.

I actually love the colours. I liked the colours of Riddler's Revenge, but this green is much nicer, especially with the black supports and catwalks.

This green looks better because it's newer. I remember a time at SFMM when i saw Riddler's Revenge like this. Very nice colors in the end

We'll probably get something in 2012.

Honestly SFGAm pretty much has the best family coaster collection in existence, and the waterpark is REALLY good for a waterpark, arguably one of the better ones. The park as a whole is very profitable for Six Flags (I heard 2nd most profitable behind Six Flags Mexico), so they haven't "needed" a gigantic coaster for awhile.

I mean it has been completely out of character for Six Flags to be bringing back the old Demon theming the mormons ruined, and for them to buy and run the Little Dipper well. Don't slam the park.

yeah SfGA looks like a really good six flags park, and SFM is top earning? hmmm... well it is the only decent park in Mexico. I think SFMM would be more top earning if Disneyland was not there but yeah

HUH!!???!!! no it isn't, GASM is GONE forever, just like Shockwave at Johnny's home park. BTW I agree with LOEA that a parking lot is a great place to build a great coaster, seriously, what the F*&K were they thinking when they decided to build SCREAM in the F**&%ng parking lot.....???
