On a serious note, I highly doubt sixflags is planning on selling GA. All they really need after the tower coaster is an another large scale coaster like a Giga or tilt and a flat ride package. With them selling a bunch of parks, I can see them having the financial resources to do that. Most of ride removals where not extremely popular and old. KA and ZU was the biggest lost. But the tower coaster and rumored drop tower would replace those rides. I can see a drop tower, flat ride package, and a BMM giga coaster being added in the next five years.
News Project 2027/Purple: Delayed “World Record Breaking Coaster" (Phantom Spire?)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
"Sweet Summer Squash" isn't "vinegar," and it's definitely not "battery acid." I genuinely find Zachary to be the most level-headed and receptive person in the discussion most times. He seems nice and I like to address him in a way that reflects that.
As much as I appreciate your willingness to entertain what I see as the future of the property, it is needlessly politicized by a user who has developed a propensity toward reporting me on Reddit and other platforms for demonstrating any specific knowledge of the area and willfully misinterpreting things I say regarding historical demographic trends as personal attacks. I am unwilling to say more because I refuse to give this person ammunition. If people think that that means I'm being disingenuous about my beliefs, that's unfortunate, but also nothing new.
From NJ Digsafe, Force Concrete hired EUC CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY to demo something.
It’s pretty interesting to see what they’ve plowed vs just driven over; it doesn’t seem like they’ve plowed a path to where the supports are stored, which makes me think there won’t be any deliveries to the park in the next few weeks.
I’m also shocked to see earth being moved by the former site of twister with how cold it is. To me that shows just how serious they are about staying on schedule with this ride, and it makes me wonder if they *are* shooting to get it operational for fright fest.
15 feet deep is pretty deep for an existing structure; that would mean that the building either has a basement or is a structure with a deeper foundation (maybe slingshot?). Is there anyone with more experience with digsafe to know if that number is the depth of what’s being demolished or a maximum safety depth kind of thing?
Assuming this has anything to do with the 2027 coaster, the only things in line with the current foot print if you extend it linearly are the slingshot, the simulator building, and the western carnival games building. I’ve always thought there’s a chance that there’s another element which extends over the boardwalk, and that would explain the claims of more track then Ka
There won't be more track than Ka. It would have to double what's going in. They're going to make the "longer" claim, legitimately if weakly, by counting track traveled by riders from start to finish. That will be longer than Ka.
I feel like this would be really cheap if they were going to do that, and the PR guy for GAdv doesn’t seem to be the type to do that, but he’s a PR guy so who knows.
He’s said not just at that ACE event but in that interview Chall posted that the track length was going to be longer than Ka’s, almost in an emphasizing way. We’ll see what happens I guess
I've heard him, and whinced when he said "track length" in that video. IIRC, at the ACE event he only said "longer than" and didn't use the words " track length?" We've all been following the construction and can see what footers have been poured, now finally where the massive tower footers are, and can pretty much see the whole layout. To have more track to surpass the full-circuit Ka would literally require twice the footers somewhere else they aren't yet since we're 99% sure this will be a shuttle. The only way it can be longer, unless there will be additional major, major construction (many more footers), is if they're going to count total track traveled from station to top of the tower and back to station. Just doing the math looking at what's been built so far, that will be longer than Ka. I'd love to be wrong and we see a ton more footers poured in the coming months. I don't have a problem with claiming it is longer than Ka using this definition. It all helps attract riders. But the term being used vs what we've seen built so far is worrying to this thoosie's ears. Or encouraging, if we're in for a surprise. We shall have to wait and see. I like Ryan and his efforts to date, too, so I'd love to see clarification on this and clear up any confusion.

I can’t believe ya’ll are still engaging with Mr. Doom & Gloom. Wouldn’t it be easier to just ignore him and bring some optimism back into the thread?
Agreed. Waste of time

With NJ requiring OTS for rides over 400', I could see them keeping it under that just to avoid the requirement.
Has any of that restraint nonsense with NJ ever actually been confirmed about Kingda Ka? I only know of the stuff with Zumanjaro and them running simultaneously.
Damn, seems like it was just a myth/rumor the whole time. Maybe we will get 400'. No matter what it is though I'm looking forward to opening day.
I wonder if this could also be demo'ing and repouring one of the footers if they noticed it was out-of-spec or otherwise had an issue.
One new shipment arrived on 2/2/26. Not much but with things being as slow as they have been, it’s something.
Assuming this is a dual loading station (which it better be), I’d really love to see Six Flags go all out on the queue and station. A fully indoor loading area a-la Mr Freeze would be incredible. Give it a cool dispatch sequence too. SF can do themselves a big favor in making the experience grandiose and well-themed. It won’t have the same inherent aura Ka had, so manufacture some aura with quality theming.
Another shipment came on the 5th, close to the same size as the one that arrived on the 2nd.
