I think putting the super boomerang behind cyborg was an amazing decision. They know that the ride isn't very popular, I think putting a signature roller coaster behind it will attract a lot more guests to that general area and boost the amount of riders on cyborg.

[@alecvip7562]

Super boomerang is a horrible ride for great adventure. Low capacity + its supposed to be a 50th year anniversary coaster. Its unbelievable to me that they constantly screw great adventure over with rides.

[@SeaWorldOrlandoandmore]

@@alecvip7562 I don’t think it is a horrible addition, the actual ride time is short, so that really isn’t the main problem, for me it all depends on the staffing. They did say this is a last minute addition so I think the fact that they even got a coaster is great. And the fact that six flags is now working with Vekoma is even better.

[@Wither64]

a new coaster at great escape is a genuine dream of mine. let’s hope bobcat does 2 things 1: fill in the bobsled sized hole in our hearts 2: pave the road for this underrated and neglected park to get more stuff

[@ItsSiebay]

If I had a nickel for every time Six Flags America was to close a rough steel coaster made in the 90s, only to give it new trains, paint, and a new name, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice. Seriously though, we ALL thought Mind Eraser was going to be bulldozed this year.

[@zacharyyamashita8554]

Well we’ve seen one SLC get bulldozed, or is about to (T3 .

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

But everyone knew Apocalypse would get the Rougarou treatment.

[@Drensadventure]

Let's all go bulldoze it ourselves lol. It's not good at all. And they could have gotten something to replace it an RMC single rail would have been good.

[@Primogen18]

I love the layouts of SLCs, it would be cool to see vekoma do an updated version with the new track and trains someday. I also prefer most current SLCs in the back also, because being yanked through the elements doesn't seem as unpleasant as the shuffling you get in the front. Same with firebird, i find the ride experience better the further back. It's the opposite of the general consensus that the front of a coaster is the smoothest, but its because its only for certain coasters.

[@Tyler63532]

How Six Flags parks feel about the 2024 Season abridged: Six Flags Over Georgia: WE GOT AN INTAMIN?? Sure it’s definitely not their greatest creation by any means but it looks like it will be a pretty good coaster at the very least. It was about time! Six Flags Fiesta Texas: Over 50 hints for a flat ride package? I mean I like it but I was expecting a coaster. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be. Six Flags St. Louis: Oh wow another year of being coaster less and no rookie racer doesn’t count. Our last major coaster was a damn boomerang in 2013. A giga discovery is a good ride but this coaster drought is ridiculous. The six flags company Needs to stop spoiling their 3 major parks. St. Louis is a really good market too. Pathetic. Also rmc boss was never happening this year. Six Flags Great Adventure: Anniversary’s are mostly known for improving the overall park experience instead of coasters but people are complaining that it wasn’t a giga? This is going to be a pretty good ride for the park! Reminds me so much of chiller. They’re also doing a lot of improvements around the park as well! Six Flags America: I will take a new themed land and a pretty decent flat ride. Hopefully it makes the park look nicer. But the real question is where is RMC ROAR? When was the last time we actually got a coaster? I feel like I will never see a coaster again. Now I’m sad. Six Flags Darien Lake: Great Job six flags!!You’re doing too much for this park!! You might even have to slow down!!! Sarcasm aside what a disaster. We haven’t gotten squat. There’s so much potential but we will never see it. Frontier City: Same thing different year. We just had to get acquired by six flags. Six Flags New England: I’ve been asking for a coaster for almost a decade now. It’s just so frustrating. After wicked cyclone I had hope. Then it all crumbled right in front of me. I’m tired of being little brother of the six flags chain. Six Flags Great America: good ride to replace this with revolution. However We’re suppose to be one of the flagship parks but our last major coaster was maxx force? I’m getting a bit worried… Six Flags Mexico: They always forget about us down here. La Ronde: can we please get stuff so we can pretend to compete with Canada’s wonderland? Six Flags Discovery Kingdom: remember Those few years where the park actually got some investment? Good times Six Flags Over Texas: The original six flags park right in Arlington yet we continue to get the scraps of the six flags chain. Really a log flume right after we just got Aqua man? Another failure of a year. Great Escape: Wait a minute. We actually got something? Are they talking about the right great escape? Wow. A gravity group woodie? I honestly thought that would never happen here. I’ll gladly take it six flags! Six Flags Magic Mountain: ArE yOu KiDdInG mE?? NoThInG?? We WeRe SuPpOsSeD tO gEt A gIgA. WhY sHoUlD pOvErTy GrEaT eScApE gEt AnYtHiNg? ( magic mountains body was found at the bottom of the ocean )

[@Cat3465]

I bet Over Georgia was very surprised about their Ultra Surf coaster being manufactured by Intamin. They haven't had an one coaster from Intamin after losing Z-Force decades ago until now

[@alecvip7562]

A low capacity ride is a horrible addition to great adventure, espicially since its the 50th year anniversary coaster. Gadv deserves better, not an off the shelf coaster (again 😂)

[@JD.778]

@@alecvip7562This can be a top 5 ride in the park. Are you complaining because there’s one in china? As for capacity we don’t know how it will be yet.

[@alecvip7562]

​@JD.778 im complaining because great adventure is one of the largest parks in the entire world, and constantly get clones. At least like 7 of their rides are cloned, and this coaster is for their 50th year anniversary. They should've went with a traditional vekoma launch that could run 2 or 3 trains.

[@ATLSloan]

The Surf Coaster was the perfect decision to replace splash waterfalls. Well done SFOG! I also learned what the Mandela effect is today…thank you Sarah

[@SeaWorldOrlandoandmore]

I believe the seaworld company has a right to the surf coaster model for the next few years. But i would love to see them get one once that expires

[@devonritchie1899]

What? That thing looks dumb and dull as hell

[@Cat3465]

The Ultra Surf fills in all of the gaps that SFOG has alongside with it technically serving as a modern water ride at the water park.

[@devonritchie1899]

@edwint3800 No, it doesn't. This ride is trash

[@ethanamazing]

Comet is like a "my first thrill coaster", which is really good for Great Escape. I don't think it matters if Bobcat and comet are both wood. Any family coaster they would have would be a similar experience.

[@triplej755]

I’m not sure if Mind Eraser will be called ‘Suspended coaster’. I believe the park details gave the model of rides in Steamtown, and the plan is to release the new names later. The email I got about it says ‘Three classic rides - suspended coaster (Formally Mind Eraser), bumper cars (Formally Coyote creek crazy cars) and river rapids ride (formally renegade rapids) will be renamed, reimagined, and rethemeded and enhanced to coincide with the new park area and make their grand debut next year’

[@doodlefrogo]

The Giga Discovery is actually a better fit at SFGAm than most would think. Revolution’s ride experience is more comparable to Zamperla’s Disco than their Discovery; it doesn’t go very high off the ground and the thrill is found in its fast and forceful spinning. Great America already features plenty of coasters and family rides, so I think that Sky Striker will help balance the park’s lineup with a new, thrilling flat ride. That being said, the ride will likely replace the skycoaster’s plot of land so I have no clue why they’re putting a giant pendulum right next to their smaller pendulum. Hopefully it won’t hurt Revolution’s ridership, cause that ride is incredibly underrated!

[@naitonight6274]

Not all markings are for construction or any changes. Sometimes they are just points to set up on and map the area. Points are set up in multiple areas to get a better view of the area you are mapping out.

[@bobbycoulombe9069]

I agree they could just be additional survey points

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

I can’t imagine telling myself in 2019 that Great Escape is building a major custom new roller coaster and Magic Mountain is getting nothing.

[@Samuelpal19]

Not to mention it's the second year in a row SFMM hasn't gotten anything. Freaking dumb. The least they could do is redo the front entrance or something. So tired of Six Flags' laziness.

[@Cat3465]

Over Georgia’s ultra surf is the park edition for the park to get. It fills in the gap of their missing launch coaster with that ride

[@charlesgamble5158]

Six Flags Great America is my home park! I'm thrilled to get the long overdo giga discovery but was also hoping for RMC Raptor ( Fiesta Texas version), in Buccaneer'Battle spot:( Maybe 2025 ?

[@ChrisWBrown-rq2sc]

Bobcat is my favorite reveal. Definitely a great need for Great Escape to add thrills, and possibly add an RMC (Hybrid I-Box and Raptor)

[@leonsteen3085]

I was used to Great America getting a new coaster every three years. I fully expected a new one next year.

[@saltyskipper5797]

I’m certain “Suspended coaster” is a placeholder and not the actual name

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I’d hope so

[@khalilbodie753]

Hopefully in 2025 we get another rollercoaster at SFOG again and they need to paint Goliath ride soon like they did all the other rides too

[@Cat3465]

An RMC Raptor would be the best edition for SFOG in 2025 or 2026 since they already have a solid diversity of roller coasters, they would probably like to have an actual single rail roller coaster despite Kid Flash being their first single coaster

[@jarl8887]

would have loved a new coaster at great America but I love the new addition

[@Bobertwithane]

I do find it interesting that the six flags over Georgia website has the new ultra splash listed in the screampunk section of the park, seeing that the old splashwater falls plot is wedged between the carousel hill, Metropolis, and DC super friends areas, and no retheme was announced 🤔 Does this mean Pandemonium or the go-Karts is leaving in 2024?

[@Cat3465]

The Ultra Surf is located in the former Splash Waterfalls area. The Go-Kart area may be used for a Raptor in the future

[@thecoasterobsessed1]

Even though we pretty much knew it was the Super Boomerang coming to Great Adventure, I really wish it was a custom coaster (though I know the SB is a North America first) that would really force the masses to come and use the new resort plus the areas they are trying to build to make it more like a Cedar Point type of destination. Excited for the new coaster but that low capacity is going to be a killer!!

[@jbsbrickkiln9254]

I mean, it’s capacity is technically higher than Joker at the same park and it’s a little harder to get to. It’ll still be one of those rides you’ll need to hit first, though.

[@cancelled148]

Suspended coaster 1 looks too intense for me.

[@theventuracountyrailfan]

Update: that space by Wonder Woman where tidal wave was at magic mountain is just seating with some umbrellas. Some shade would have been nice like the area that green lantern replaced.

[@JustinCoasters]

The Log Flume at SFOT translated is "The Lazy River" which is odd

[@ricksflags]

SFOT has log Flume 1 and Flume 2. Flume 1 is not ADA accessible, is in poor shape, and was hardly ever in operation. Several months ago, we had a flood that tore up part of the flume, so it's just been sitting there as an eyesore. If Six Flags is actually going to fix the flumes up when they are tied together, then this is a really good move. From an operational standpoint, you can double capacity without doubling staffing. Also, before we get anything new, we need to clean up and invest in what we have. The park has really been cleaned up in the past couple years, so this is the next welcome addition. My biggest wish with this is that riders continue to NOT get soaked like you see on other log flumes.

[@tonyreyna1067]

With the Texas heat. We need rides to soak ..I do not mind it

[@ericdaley7033]

Six Flags New England wants another boomerang. WTF Great Adventure

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

The SFOG new coaster might be one of the most unique coasters in the chain.

[@EddieSg]

Over Texas EL ASSERADERO has 2 flumes, they're just merging both flumes and combine them into a single one. Which is a good thing because they've been using only one side since a few years ago.

[@weightlessfilms5651]

I'd love to see the Boss at Six Flags St. Louis get RMC'd

[@tombolt13thexehanort29]

Honestly that would ruin the Boss, it's woodeness blends well with its surrounding and it just wouldn't be right. I always see the screaming eagle and Boss as the wooden coasters in the back asserting domince on the state park behind the park, that would be lost if Boss was steel.

[@TylerPCoyne]

2024 is starting to shape up to be one of the best years for new roller coasters!

[@notjayy1]

yes your so real for that

[@Cat3465]

I believe 2018 was the last time that it was the best year for new roller coasters despite them being mainly RMC coasters

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

What all is there? I can only think of Dragster, Iron Menace, super boomerang, project penguin at SWO, and a few other smaller family coasters. Seems very light on coasters to me. I keep hearing people say it will be a big year for coasters so I wonder if I’m overlooking something. Unless people are considering additions worldwide.

[@Professa2210]

[@lichenlad2887]

Great escape is my home park, and to your comment about the new addition being another wooden coaster, there is not another six flags park I would trust more to maintain a wooden coaster and do it well. Just look at the comet, the park puts more love and care into that thing than any other ride. I wholeheartedly agree that they could have benefited from a steel coaster (a family launch would have been nice) but this addition will be a fantastic fit for the park! Hope you can experience it next year!

I feel like the name for the rethemed mind-eraser doesn’t have a name, because it’s not fully in title case all other rides have a capitalized letter in the first letter of each word (i.e. Mind Eraser compared to Suspend coaster), so I wonder if it’s like Six Flags over Georgia where they haven’t picked a name yet.

[@verybighomer]

Yeah, was thinking the same. They have decided on a new steampunk theme for the area. Would be really stupid to name the attractions "Suspended Coaster" and "Bumper Cars". Pretty sure they will come up with proper names.

I feel like the main reason why selim bassoul shied away from making coasters is because he wanted to grow his investments for more expensive coasters and to make his parks nicer

[@doodlefrogo]

I don't believe that at all. Most of the parks (from a guest standpoint) have remained largely the same, with no notable improvements in operations, scenery, or guest services. Not to mention, investments such as these 2024 rides used to be commonplace for each and every Six Flags park, some of which received coasters that were of larger scale and unique design compared to the three coasters revealed here. I'm glad that Six Flags seems to be back in their element with this announcement, but by all accounts I'd argue that last year's lack of investment and price hikes were nothing more than bad business.

@@WildcatttttThey haven’t decided on a rename yet.

[@strudelninja]

The fact that they're naming the frisbee in St. Louis Joker might also mean it goes where the current Joker Inc pirate ship is? Walking past it this year I also assumed that we'd get a frisbee and that it'd go in the Xcalibur plot. I guess it could just go there and they close Joker Inc as it is a 43 year old ride and I definitely saw cardboard boxes of parts under it last time I rode it, but it sucks to have to lose a flat ride to gain one when we already have so few that are ever open (seriously, Six Flags St. Louis has more coasters than it does non-kiddie flat rides).

[@chargedonpc9989]

I thought that they were just calling Mind Eraser the type of ride it is as a placeholder. Otherwise the names would be suspended coaster, river rapids ride, and bumper cars, which I highly doubt they would do. They'll probably announce the actual new names at a later date.

[@brianfoss571]

I kinda wish Bobcat were a RMC family I-Box, just because it's weird for them to add another woodie so close to Comet. But it's a perfect layout for the park, and if Gravity Group was the cheaper option, then theoretically Steamin' Demon can be replaced with a Vekoma Space Warp sooner. So it's still a win.

[@TroubleLightCoasters]

No it’s better they’re working with gravity group because if their precut is successful, I’d imagine they’d add them to more parks that need standout woodies/refurbs (fiesta and over Texas need good woodies)

[@shadowkid017]

Excited for the Great Escape addition since it's my home park. It's important to mention the reason they won't try a big coaster at Great Escape is because the town board and residents will not allow it to happen. They had to fight and (I believe) change the location for Adirondack Outlaw when they put that up a few years ago.

[@conordesmond129]

Also, they don't want to spend a lot of money on a big coaster when there are not a lot of people in their closest metropolitan area, Albany, compared to other Six Flags parks. Airtime Thrills said Great Escape's population center was 14th out of 15th in his video titled "How Six Flags Chooses its Winners & Losers". So, putting a big coaster elsewhere could result in a better Return on Investment.

I wonder if the camping experience for Great Adventure will be where the stop was for the safari.

[@derekp308]

They should replace the Mind Eraser at SFA with a Vekoma Suspended Thrill Coaster. I’ve heard those rides are insane. SFDK, I think it would be some record breaking flat ride, but what type I don’t know. The Bobcat, this could be the perfect family woodie. I can imagine someone’s son or daughter saying “That was fun” to their parents, and their parents saying “Wait till your big enough to ride the Comet”.

[@RowdyB51]

The suspended coaster name is just a placeholder, same as the other attractions within the new Steamtown area

[@TripleTSingt]

6:55 Phantasialand did the opposite with their old flume (pre-Chiapas). they cut up the layout into 2 rides (stonewash creek & wildwash creek), since it had really long wait times, even as the years went by, to better the capacity.

[@coasterboss1654]

Is it possible to maybe add a turntable station for the super boomerang?

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

I honestly don’t know

[@CoasterSwiftie]

yeah, thay really should rmc le monstre but the issue is that it's getting a brand new entrace that is being installed right now, it's going to look very cool but the ride is going to stay the same :( but its really fun to operate !

[@Galaxy_underscore]

I Just recently was at discovery kingdom, and through the fences on jokers ground i saw new ride carts!!

[@AndrewArnoldAHA]

To be fair, Six Flags Great Escape does already have another steel coaster, Canyon Blaster, a decent Arrow Dynamics mine train. It may not be the most exciting ride on the planet, but it's way less painful than either Flashback or Steamin' Demon, which is somehow far worse than its clone at Wild Waves, Wild Thing. They're definitely leaning into the family side of things and a bit away from the standard Six Flags THRILL side. Probably the right choice for that park. Next time you're there, be sure and stop across the street at Martha's Dandee Creme for an ice cream cone. Those things are the size of your arm and so tasty!

[@glizz5100]

Has Vekoma Ever Built A Transfer Track Ever? I can’t remember

[@Chaoshero5567]

? Ofcourse? Somehow you needa switch out the trains, fly has one like why woudnt they

[@Luhhtj223]

Thxs for the news I love these videos u are my favorite roller coasters news and ride KZbin creators

[@lucusrose2762]

Ok, everyone seems convinced that they will not add a "carousel" in the Flash's station to increase capacity. Why? BTW, the lions are caged off from the vehicles. They got rid of the outer fence with the rolling gates and added an inner fence a long time ago.

[@maxhagenauer24]

I have no clue where SFGAM will put that new Frisbee but that park has absolutely zero room left. They must remove something.

[@PRMurphy171]

I think the "CED" markings around SFGAdventure's Cyborg has something to do with electrical preparations and/or existing buried lines...

[@Penguinocalypse]

8:37 by being a shuttle coaster, it pays homage to the parks previous now defunct other shuttle coasters lol

[@noahkessler5500]

Mind eraser being renamed to suspended coaster just shows that they took inspiration from their nfl team

[@Metalhead_Coaster_Fan]

They should give Mind Eraser at SFA the Great Nor'easter treatment.

[@stephanieiuliano1654]

Six flags fiesta texas is competing with sea world s new high flume ride.

[@lawrencedavis4406]

With 6FGAdv, im a little bummed with the Flash superboomerang, was hoping it was going to be a giga over the front gate...and my main quibble with all coasters there...no tunnels!!

[@natorgator8639]

A local STL news article mentioned the new Joker giga discovery is going “across the tracks from Rookie Racer”, which means it’s gonna be where Dragon’s Wing used to be, not Xcalibur’s plot

[@Chucyriggs]

if that's the case, semi new ride super girl, refurbished carousel, remodeled pizza place, new family coaster, and then new discovery all next to each other that makes the whole area brand new with the major attraction the boss being one of the roughest coasters in the country i hope this is all in prep for RMC'ing The Boss

[@martinmedina9174]

My home park six flags over Texas 🪦 six flags gets all the love they are target and we’re wal mart… well not even that we get treated more like dollar tree 😂

[@dextermorgan1]

A few(maybe all. IDK) Six Flags had 2 Log Flume rides back in the 80's and 90's. Over Georgia got rid of their second flume 25 years ago or so. It's interesting they're going to combine the two for one big ride.

[@jamesrauff]

Couldn’t agree more with calling it the chiller . Exactly what I said when I saw it

[@alphawinnergx9127]

I honestly think this double down before the final turn on Bobcat would be superior to the final bunny hills on Timber. In fact, those have a trim that basically killed the second hill. I do hope that they won't trim the double down too. Furthermore, I love these Gravity Group junior woodies, so I'm excited to see SF adding one. In fact, any of their parks could benefit from these perfect family coasters.

[@Swinkly_]

A moment of silence for Darien Lake 🙏the park desperately needs another large-scale attraction, and another train for Ride of Steel. It's sad to see my home park neglected.

[@markvolpe2305]

They're adding more Titan Track to Predator every year until it's completely Titan Tracked. And I believe they're refurbishing The Big Kahuna for next year.

[@Swinkly_]

@@markvolpe2305 that's great to hear! The large turn that they retracked used to be the worst part of the ride, but now it's super smooth. I'll look forward to further improvements!

[@DiaryofaRollerCoasterGirl]

I'm glad SFMM isn't getting anything, it doesn't need any more rides but what it does need is one HELL of a clean up, which I really hope it does receive!

[@jordanwood9511]

SFDK has the super strict height limit. Maybe that 2024 banner is talking about something that will finally be able to go over 150 feet.

[@Zinojn]

Hershey park needs to get a Giga discovery, their flat ride collection could use some work. Those rides are so freakin good.

[@snuffedtorch3683]

Absolutely. Replace the Claw. The Triple Towers were a great addition. If we can get a Giga Discovery, that would be epic. Wishful thinking, but maybe an Xtreme Spinning Coaster within 10 years and this park would definitely shoot to #2 in the US.
