benzo41190 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hey I was on the www.coasterforce.com Forum and there was a topic about a new fourth dimentional coaster at SFGam so I had to see if anyone on here knows about it. If this is true that would be nice because SFGAm needs a new modern coaster besides a water park or a Wild Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I don't believe anything until I see one of the three Ps: pieces, prints (blue), or press release. In all honesty though, I'm not sure I know where they would put a ride of that caliber in. Last I heard, just about all of the park's land is used up. I don't how true that is, but that's what I've heard for the last several years. Hence, the plans to remove Whizzer that later changed to Shockwave to make room for SUF. Let's keep our fingers crossed about something though. I would love to see a new coaster put in, but we have to admit, in comparison to other SF parks, this one has been fairly blessed the last several years so I'm not going to complain if nothing happens.

DejaVu The Ride Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Well..... The park isn't out of room to add a new coaster because the next one will come without removing one. Tumbleweed, ahh, It's a cool name for a SWT ride, but that would be about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Uhh, I post at CF and browse often and theres no SFGAm 4-D topic. Aside from that, I believe it is total bullschmidt. If your looking for a cheap reason to bash Coasterforce... nice try you son of a beeotch... And if you wanted to bash a site, coasterbuzz.com is one to bash on.

Scaparri Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Well.....The park isn't out of room to add a new coaster because the next one will come without removing one. That still doesn't really explain how the park isn't out of land or where they could put a new coaster. It doesn't really make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Force_4_ever Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 well at this point whatever we say is purely speculation. I hope that SFGAm gets another B&M especially if it's something brand new, but we haven't seen anything yet so its all speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzo41190 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Uhh...I post at Cf and browse and there no SFGAm 4_d topic. Actually this wasnt recently this was a while back. Now, I dont beleive this because there isnt alot of room for a major coaster but........I did notice Shockwaves track lying on a hill side so maybe that has something to do with it because why would they keep the track when the ride has been demolished about three years ago.

Shadowforce Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 How would you turn Shockwave into a 4D? :S Argh, I'm split between liking and hating the idea. On one hand, 4Ds seems like a great idea and I think we need more, on the other hand, I don't want to see any of the good companys being put out of business because SF is too incompitent to keep their rides in a good condition.

That is impossible. Shockwave was scrapped last fall. There were even pictures floating around the net that showed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak11 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'm pretty sure this was just a rumor and has been for awhile. People thought there would be a new 4-d coaster, Tumbleweed behind RB where the bus parking lot was. I personally think that idea is pretty much scrapped, because of the fact that HH is in that place. As far as I know, that was all just a rumor.

benzo41190 Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Actually Shockwave was demolished three years ago because it was replaced by Super Man Untimate Flight whick will be three years old. And the Shockwave track and supports were on a hillside because you could see them from Super Man, the parking lot, the Skyride and the Log ride. I dont know if the track is still there or if it is removed I havent been there since Last year besides taking pictures from the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Force_4_ever Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 ^it was scrapped so no more track and supports on the hill anymore. I think this is defenitly a rumor, I'm thinking and hoping that the next coaster SFGAm gets is a floorless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdn Mndbndr Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Taken from "www.coaster-net.com" --And 2004 also brought Shockwave's fate, as it was scrapped and sent to the boiler. -- I'm thinking someone should start an old age home for no longer wanted coasters. Store them in a warehouse for future generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezus Juice Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I think there is a field in Indiana somewhere with some forgotten coasters. Also a log flume I think... The 4D rumor is wrong, everybody knows that SFGAm is getting Gadv's Viper. I think it's going in Wizzers spot. -Jezze "that pretty much the worst idea of all time, GOSH!"

benzo41190 Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I guess now that I look it was scrapped last year but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I think there is a field in Indiana somewhere with some forgotten coasters. Also a log flume I think.. That field is no longer, SF Inc sold it .. sent coaster to Great Escape and got rid of the rest pretty much .. melted down the other rides .. tis a shame .. would of liked to of ridden the bobsled again, except for the fact it had weeds growing out of it.

CoasterFanatic Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I think there is a field in Indiana somewhere with some forgotten coasters. Also a log flume I think... You can ride the log flume this summer at Idlewild Park. Kennywood has had it in storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgathriller Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Tumbleweed is one of the worst coaster names I have ever heard of! Who ever came up with the name is stupid. It would be weird if somebody asked you what your favorite coaster is and you say "Tumbleweed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I think there is a field in Indiana somewhere with some forgotten coasters. Also a log flume I think..

That field was the last resting place of two of Riversides coasters. Little Rickies Twister and Black Widow. I can relate to Little Rickie since I rode that coaster a lot so seeing it's track pieces brings back memories. But as for Black Widow, I was too late, I was afraid to ride coasters until the thing was torn down. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have heard of a second 4D coaster, but it was supposed to be built in Japan. If it does indeed see the light of day, I hope they've made some major improvements. X is just nasty. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 ^Yes...there was one officially announced for Japan. S&S Arrow didn't say what park, but if you know the parks you can figure it out quite easily! 2 Hints: 1 - It's not replacing the escalator ride at Parque Espana 2 - It's NOT going to the SFMM of Japan!

pgathriller Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I don't think thay will ever get rid of Steel Dragon 2000 even if it was for a new hi tech coaster. They will probaly keep it so people from there could worship the year of the dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster1 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeah I knew about the new S&S Arrow 4D since that was more or less announced at IAAPA this year. I just hope in the time since they they've solved the issues with the other. I bet B&M is working on a 4D designed, I remember reading an article about Port Adventura getting one in 2005 .. well guess that's gone now. INTAMIN has the sudo 4D .. I guess waiting on that or a park to take a chance on another INTAMIN prototype is just down the pipe ... SF? CF? who will take the risk and financial burden first?

ebl Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Something like this would be the perfect thing to put on top of a building like some of Japan's coasters. It would add a lot of thrill to it. Thank goodness that Parque Espana isn't replacing the Escalator Ride. That's a classic! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinmac Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 More to the point what could fit in the space of the Escalator Ride... Really... 4d needs a bit of help in general. Kinda a funky idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
