I totally agree. I think they could do it, Honestly. They got Psyclones trains, which helps with that. But magnetic brakes, a LOT of paint and a retrack would do the ride very well!!!

Although currently it is still a fun ride.

Didn't they just do that, like, last month? Ugh.... actually, that sounds better than the 18 groups that were there the last time I tried to go on a Saturday...

...Well, there goes that idea...(I was actually considering going tomorrow) but now, I don't know.

Do you think SFMM is getting a new coaster in 2008 since they took out Physclone and Flashback? What was Flashback like anyway? I never got to go on it. It looked fun.

No. Shapiro specifically said they weren't going to get any coasters for awhile.

^Plus, they should probably be spending money to improve the park before adding more rides. They seem to be getting that message. That's a very very very very very (you get it) good thing...

I dont see any massive recordbreaking coaster for a while, but something like the Tony Hawk coaster sure could fit into the new family theme of sfmm

I think they need to add a few more flats. There are many improvements that should be made, before we even consider discussing what the next coaster will be.
