Welp there goes my hope for Hershend to come in and rescue WoF from SF. Wont lie I would have loved a dual SDC WoF park pass as I know others would have too.

EPR properties already have a few parks that are ran by Six Flags - Frontier City, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor (OK), SF Darian Lake, Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, Hurricane Harbor Phoenix, and Hurricane Harbor Concord. I wonder how the contracts are written for the management of these parks? Do you think in the future Enchanted will also run these SF parks?

I also wonder if the EPR properties that are run by Premier (Magic Springs, Rapids Water Park FL, Ocean Breeze Waterpark, Calypso Theme Waterpark, Wild Waves, Pacific Park, City Museum) will also be ran by Enchanted Parks in the future?

Yea I saw that.  I did not have 6F passes last year or for this year, I have had them for several years and did like going to STL on occasion.  I guess it will be interesting to see how that goes, if the rides get re-themed etc.  I have never been to WOF in KC but did plan on it if my pass would get me in.

going into speculation mode, I hope the new coaster is an airtime machine. PowderKeg gives great airtime but its a fairly short coaster with the lift hill in the middle. Time traveler gives great floater airtime but not enough ejector. Outlaw run is fun, but I wouldn't call it an airtime machine either. Again, Mack hyper makes sense (though it does not have to be 200ft,as shown by Blue Fire) It needs to be like thunderation where it appeals to families, but doesn't hold pack its punches either.

I have to say these names feel like something straight out of Rollercoaster Tycoon. If I have to choose here ...probably Daredevil Railway.

As for a Hyper Mine Train, that would be out of left field for sure. The park really could use an airtime machine with speed hills and no inversions or spinning. Would also be neat if they designed Macks Hypercoaster trains to look like TNT.

What were the names in the survey. Possible names for the new Coaster.

what about a Mack hyper with a minetrain theme? would certainly be first of its kind

The speculation front has been quite interesting to say the least. It's gone from being a Mack Hyper or Stryker to a Vekoma Launch Coaster, the impractical being a single rail low capacity S&S/RMC coaster themed to mine carts, to the silly with it being another Mack Spinner. If it is a replacement Mine Train I can only figure SDC is gonna market it as the world's largest and fastest Mine Train or something to keep the titles they had with TNT as it was the tallest and fastest of it's kind. Hopefully we see the first track put in place to confirm the manufacturer later this month but I still hold firm it's 99% a Mack product based on the footers.

Do note Terry's comment about it being big and the additional large footers built on that little hill there in the construction footage...

On second watch, the little area where you could view powderkeg's launch is being completely redone. Honestly a little sad about that since that corner was one of my favorite places to relax.

edit: Is terry allowed to post these behind the scenes videos? his lines sound scripted so I wonder if its a marketing campaign by SDC to keep us speculating...
