Yes, let's just remove the second most popular ride in the park for some reason instead of doing anything else.
News Project 2026: Quantum Accelerator (Intamin Multi-Launch Straddle Coaster)
- Thread starter MikePat
- Start date
It looks like the Quantum track construction is complete!! Only a few more weeks 'till opening day now. Super stoked!
I'm so excited for this ride, but lord, 4 redish coasters (Wicked, Flashback, Quantum, and Great Chase) next to each other is a bit much. lol
Hopefully Flashback has an update and repaint waiting in the wings and that will be rectified soon.
I really hope it goes back to its blue, yellow, and orange colors from when it opened in 2000. The ride used to really pop!
The new 2025 SFNE park map is live! The empty Shipwreck/Goliath space is looking great filled up by Quantum Accelerator. Crackaxle Canyon is still listed as just "Crackaxle Canyon" however there are some nods to a potential future Steampunk theme. The new ride has the obvious theming and one of the shop names is "Screamore Gadgets". Also Tomahawk is indeed missing from the map as well as Bonzai Pipelines and Typhoon although I think they were missing from the map for a while now...
So SFNE has announced a calling for extras to attend the Quantum Accelerator's media day. With media day scheduled to take place on June 12, 2025 we are most likely looking at a mid June grand opening for the ride.
It appears to have been postponed according to sources at screamscape. I would imagine there is some rearranging that needs to be done with recent marketing layoffs, also they may need extra time to get the ride launches calibrated and permits with the town in place. Just my guess based on that recent post.
I will be attending media day, and i will try to remember to post a write up about the ride following it 
I recall seeing some opening day news artciles as June 20, but they have disappeared for the most part. Given the very recent issues with the Intamin Straddles in the United States (DarKoaster, Wave Breaker, Arctic Rescue, etc.) I have to wonder if this could be related
It’s not just the USA all of them in the world are closed
Gee, makes you wonder.
The one exception I know of is Hagrid's but I wonder whats up.
Hagrid’s has different trains so I think the problem has something to do with the rides trains
There definitely is a huge problem going on at Intamin.
Darkoaster and Wave Breaker have been closed since 6/5. Arctic Rescue finished its ops on 6/5 and was immediately boarded up and walled off to guests. And now SFNE has removed any mention of Quantum Accelerator’s opening day

As far as I know the only straddles that are open are Hagrids and Zokkon. Both are LSM launched versions as opposed to all the others being tire driven, so I wonder if it’s only affecting the tire driven variants.
