Down the line, as in like a decade from now. Also a completely different target audience than Flash and Phantom Spire.
News Project 2026: Shoreline Pier (Boardwalk Phase I feat. Barrels O' Fun & More)
- Thread starter RDL
- Start date
Looks like we may (or may not!) get an update tomorrow. (For context, Coasters and Brews was on site today)
Suppperrr happy they're going this direction. Looks like the Boardwalk is going to become almost a straight shot from Dream Street to Superman, and I'd wager some sort of nautical/ocean subarea in the GL plot to really sell this addition in headlines. It'll also give us insane views of the inverted launch and tower from all angles inside the park, something Ka definitely was not good at. Everything about the new two years is looking better than anything we've gotten in a decade or more.
I assume the area will be filled with tables. The area historically sufferd a severe lack of seating on busy days. With the boardwalk upgrades, I would be shocked if the food locations there are not reworked.
Plan seems to be total multi-year reno of all the games and restaurants. I'd assume maybe improved food or retheming plus more outdoor features. It'll be a really nice change.

Looks like the transfer track from Rajun.

It is. That's been confirmed. First spinning coaster in SFGAdv history! Probably trying to have a mini-spinner in addition to the megaspinner so that families have a spin too
“It’s new to this park but you may have ridden it elsewhere & it’s a spinning coaster” huh I wonder what it could be.
Very intrigued to see where this thing goes on the site. For now though, colors look good!
Also, welcome to the very exclusive club of parks that have gotten back-to-back coasters three years in a row, SFGAdv (assuming '27 opens on time). Very impressive to have done that in current times.

They really should’ve just announced this instead of teasing it in my opinion. How long could it take to mock up an image of this ride. And with opening day so soon, probably best to let your customers know what is exactly coming this year (considering every enthusiast can figure it out with one glance at the photo). My only thought is maybe they are adding the entire new boardwalk to the 2027 coaster animation and plan to do an official reveal all at once.
For the record, there is an official blog post too.

I think it's marketing malpractice not to tease essentially any positive news. You're giving up free attention if you don't and, in today's world, attention is everything. The drip feeding of info has been very, very effective from what I've seen. It's keeping SFGAdv constantly in front of audiences right now.
SFGAdv has been very clear that Phase I of the renovation features new rides and is slated for late spring 2026. Don't know why more is needed at the moment.

This is very true. I've never had SFGAdv more consistently on my feed than now, except maybe 11/10-11/24 and 2/28/25. Never had more of an interest in the park than I do now, either. Once Phantom Spire is open I'll 1000% be making the trek
Everything's going according to plan. First everyone comes back, lured by the new additions. And before you know it, the park will close and condos will go up in its place thanks to the sweet sweet land value. [jk]

Accurate depiction, sensationalized description. Townhouses have been the standard housing typology for the takeovers [jk]
I, for one, am tired of all this condo slander. Real estate developers have feelings!
