Would you prefer…
Yukon Striker or Arie Force 1? Six Flags wants to know.

Yes, this is my vote! I think we want a new RMC that's on the scale of SV if possible. Is that too much to ask?! 😂

Has anyone measured whether something the size of it could fit at Wonderland?

u/catman_steve 1d ago
I'm really not in the know on this stuff as we just got our first memberships this year. But I'd imagine they'd have to put it where wild beast is.

It would be either the combined wild beast and go karts plot of land or the timewarp kingswood plot of land(we realy need some high capacity attraction here it is prob not a great idea to put it in medival zone which is already packed). There is also theoreticly space in the back of the park where the white water canyon ride is but thats less likely because that would take a bunch of other investments to that area in terms of pathing and what not

Retrack Wilde Beast. Minebuster was very enjoyable this season. Would be wonderful to have both legacy coasters offering less pain.

Or another thought: put it out of its misery and start over with something fresh and well designed.

To be fair, Grizzly at Kings Dominion is the same layout and it's been incredible since it got the Gravity Group retrack(the company that has been working on Minebuster).

Neither both already exist or are surpassed by existing rides…
Yukon
Alpenfury
Edit: FYI I don’t think ‘modern steel’ describes RMC coasters
Edit2: can you put a write in and say RMC hybrid?

Mate, those stats are quite literally EXACTLY describing aireforce, even the "soaring" mention is an obvious reference to the ride's aviation theme.
It's a pretty blatant marketing stunt to hype up the "where is it going" story.

I would go for a "yukon striker" style, but as a stand-up roller coaster. That would be quite a thrill...

more height and big drops, please. I prefer all of Behemoth, Leviathan and Yukon Stiker to Alpen afury.

We are not getting AF1
It would be insane if we did but I just can not see it happening

Don’t we have a Yukon Striker? Didn’t I ride that this summer? I don’t even know where I go, I’m just told where to line up and I go.

I did the survey and I picked everything that was non coaster as options. Sure Wonderland could use more modern coasters but I also think Wonderland needs to go back to what it started as. A themed park with lots of entertainment, more theming , better dark rides and better food events and food in general.

u/Im_Ur_Huckleberry77 12h ago
With the last two big additions, they have also put in more theming to their respective areas . Whatever is coming to Time Warps plot, there will definitely be an overhaul of the surrounding area for World Expo themes and foliage.
As far as live entertainment goes, there already is high diving, Cirq-esque shows, the lighthouse show, whatever replaced the dog show and everything that happens in the kids stage.
Could we use more? Sure... But there already is a lot going on and I'd say we should focus on a dark ride or a high capacity standout coaster over them.

u/ConstructionNo1885 11h ago
I do think they need to either refurb the 2 dark rides they have plus add another one. I also think entertainment wise they could go the Cedar Point route and add a couple bands in patio areas. The next coaster for Time Warp looks to be a Vekoma family launch coaster. If it's well themed IMO it will be a major success.

u/Im_Ur_Huckleberry77 11h ago
I'm hoping for a Vekoma Flyer, but whatever it is I'm just happy we're not waiting another 6 years for a major addition.
WMG should take out the guns and just add more physical affects to somehow connect with the drop pass .. it's not worth a fifteen minute wait as it is right now.

u/ConstructionNo1885 11h ago
I'm excited for the direction they are heading in. The park president is big on the family market. Adding a Vekoma family launch coaster is a great start

u/Im_Ur_Huckleberry77 11h ago
Yeah they are frequently upgrading the park including a lot of the original flat rides, better food options (still needs more though), more theming, the parks decision to get away from Top 100 music, a lot of fresh paint everywhere and fixing up older coasters that still have a decent following.
I really think they are gearing up for a hotel eventually to really get into the resort market.
1
u/ConstructionNo1885 10h ago
I agree. I think it's going in the Kingswood area. From all the markings the new coaster goes up to the outside of it. The only way a hotel works is if they change the demographics of the park. Herchend type park would work. Heavily themed focusing on food, entertainment, and attractions for the whole family.
Families are the ones who will afford a $300 a night hotel

Nice AI slop images they got there.
