They’re portable coasters, made to travel. This isn’t too much of a concern.
Like I said though, I hope (and do think) it would be a temporary addition in order to get…something in that area.

If it's true that they're getting Ragin' Cajun, I hope they name it "Kingda Ka's Legacy"... just because it would be entertaining to watch the reactions online.
At least it would get people to stop pretending Flash is Ka’s replacement. Y’know, the ride that was built and originally scheduled to open when Ka was still operating.
I like your idea about retheming Superman, but considering the popularity of the new movie, I think they'll want to hang on to that brand for a while longer.
The retheme discussion has made me realize that Superman is now the only DC themed coaster outside of Joker and HQTC (which I expect to see removed in the next five years) that’s not in Movietown/Metropolis. Would make even more sense to retheme it due to that, give it the Poltergeist treatment and give it an elaborate theme.
I’d love to see a Sky theme like what was mentioned earlier, akin to the one on the giant discovery at GAm.
I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t just build a new wild mouse from the ground up like they did at Cedar Point. If the past 10-15 years of GAdv have taught us anything, it’s that cheaping out isn’t a great way to run a park, especially if they’re trying to pull said park out of a hole.
Because it would likely be a temporary addition while they build the Boardwalk section back up from the poor state it’s been in for years. Why buy a brand new coaster that will probably only be there for a few seasons when there’s a perfectly serviceable one that’ll be up for grabs less than 3 hours away?
Just watched a construction update from Adrenaline Rush Coaster Media and things are definitely picking up with construction. Theres a ton of new holes and mounds of dirt and according to him, more markers as well. I'm still shocked at how quickly Great Adventure is moving this project along.
Glad to hear things are moving along! I’ve been moving (today’s the day, can’t wait to be done with this) so I haven’t followed as closely as I generally would, but there’s one thing that’s stuck out to me about the concerns of a delay the more I’ve thought about it.
This is still very early for Great Adventure to start construction compared to many, if not all, of their large additions over the past 15ish years. GASM’s land wasn’t cleared until the end of August/beginning of September, same goes for Aqua Spectacle/Great Lake Grandstand to make way for Joker, and admittedly I don’t remember much of JDC’s construction as I had just started the first job I was ever truly committed to, but I also feel like it was the same timeframe. Rolling Thunder also operated until September 8th, and I don’t recall Ka being closed early in 2013 for Zumanjaro’s construction.
With the land already being cleared months ago, this is relatively ahead of schedule all things considered.

August 15th was when last years announcements took place. I’d expect the new additions for next year to be announced at around the same time
and its makes sense now that construction is already happening
Yeah it seems like they’re definitely prioritizing getting this thing up and running, very Cedar Fair-ish.
I also think there’s a good explanation for the FAA thing or whatever it’s called. The Mack spinner (best for everyone to assume that’s what’s coming at this point) will take a ton of power to operate. They’re obviously going to try and get that aspect of the ride sorted first. By the time they get the track and are ready to go vertical, that’s probably when they’ll file their permits.
Word on the street is that Flash’s delay was caused by issues with the local power company. They probably don’t want something like that happening again.
They’re not going to follow a plan written 8 years ago by different president when CF wasn’t even in the picture.
It’s going to be the spinner. Anyone trying to believe otherwise is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
They’re claiming that Great Adventure bought a coaster that likely cost over $30 million in 2022 and just didn’t build it? Also that’s Selim era Six Flags so I just don’t believe they would’ve been willing to buy something like that then.
