This sign from the Quantum Canyon Rapids queue is also now in the Quantum Accelerator queue.

I also noticed in the new Coaster Studios video that a sign with the SteamTown logo was also added to the QA queue. Not sure where in SFA this came from though.

SFA's trains have been spotted "backstage" at Darien Lake. Rumors are, Darien's RoS can't even run two trains due to crappy breaks, so the park is looking into upgrading those before starting two train ops.

Per what the head of park maintenance at SFA told the ACE event last summer Ride of Steel's break runs had to be heavily modified to accommodate the new trains and station modification were alsi made. I would assume given that they were basically identical models that much the sane has to be done up there.

If being moved in the chain... Totally Carowinds, right?

Has anyone listed out all of the Six Flags parks without a frisbee-style ride yet? Carowinds seems likely to me, but they already have a 2027 project which definitely gives me pause.

Always a chance Six Flags is finally allowing used ride brokers access to SFA's attractions or that Zamperla is buying it back too though.

Carowinds, Darien Lake, and Frontier City.

I suppose a case could be made for Dorney Park and Knott's Berry Farm if Revolution or La Revolucion needed to be replaced.

Currently in the chain without a Zamperla Frisbee or Mondial/Huss equivalent are Dorney, CGA, Knott’s, Darien Lake, Frontier City, Carowinds, and independent waterparks.

The first three do have smaller inwards-seating pendulums but no giant Frisbee, very few parks have both but afaik there isn’t a need to remove them. Carowinds is the obvious choice if they want to squeeze in a second 2027 addition or store it until 2028. Darien Lake would actually benefit the most from this ride, but they’re owned by EPR and there would be an extra layer of politics in getting it built (ie Six Flags might make EPR buy the asset from them). Frontier City and the waterparks wouldn’t.

If Enchanted were to buy this ride from Six Flags I think Michigan’s Adventure would benefit the most from it. Worlds of Fun and Valleyfair are also open season. I think based on how last year went though Six Flags would have to rule out all options before they decided to let a broker have this ride.

Rumor has it at least ride is going to a non SF park already.

Could it fit on the plot at Carowinds where sky coaster lives?

Yes, it would fit with room to spare. RRF is already a huge project, but it's not unlike Carowinds to throw new rides in. Having a dry thrill ride added for those who don't care for water attractions could be a strat.

Could totally see Enchanted Parks trying to pick up as many cheap additions as possible, though.
