Homey G. Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 E, the USA section is in the highest elevation portion of the park. But I'm sure you already knew that. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I personally hope it's a B&M hyper, the GA/FL area will then have all of B&M's catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks^, By the looks of it, it is positively going to be a B&M Hyper, so you don't have to worry. I'm glad that SFoG is finally getting a BIG rollercoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DejaVu The Ride Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I don't know how true it is, but I have been told that if you want to ride Freefall anymore, the sooner the better. Funny, no mention of Looping Starship or the Great Gasp. Oh yeah, B&M hyper, confirmed.(As if you couldn't tell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hmm, I haven't heard anything about Freefall recently, I remember talk of getting rid of it a while back, as in a year or two. All I have heard is Great Gasp and Looping Starship are being taken out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Speaking of Intamin 1st gen freefalls... I really hope Stuntman's Freefall at SFNJ gets replaced by a modern tower. A GREAT drop ride is the one thing SFGADV really needs besides more flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Eraser Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Sean, I would really hope SFGADV does *not* get rid of Stuntman's Freefall. They are so rare nowadays. A "modern tower" can be found anywhere. Maybe if the first gen. falls were lame, but I think they're more effective than the Giant/Gyro Drops. I find the old ones far scarier than the newer ones. Personally, I'd love to see a 200+ foot first gen. tower, but that ain't gonna happen! That's my $.02 -kip- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
