2010 Confirmed Park Additions (as of 6/10/10)

[Austin]

Ok so I got the idea from Screamscape as I tried to figure out what parks were getting what in the next year. RCDB.com also gave me some inspiration as well. I will be keeping this thread up-to-date for 2010 at all major US parks, and a few small parks almost everyone knows. I'll list the parks in alphabetical order.

In the order the info is displayed, the first part is, if it's a coaster, it will say coaster, then the type, then the name and then maker, and other stats we know.

If it's something else other than a coaster, it will start off as the type then the type of ride being added and then the name, followed by other information.

Great Thread Idea, Austin!

Nice, but Cedar Point is getting something. So you might want to update and add Cedar Point, only problem though is that we aren't quite sure what it is.

[Austin]

thats why i havent. Its a coaster tho, and i already know where it will be going in at.

[nitrofan]

Why don't we just put new attraction or just not put anything for now. It will probably be confirmed soon after all the other announcements.

[Austin]

Updated with the latest information, which is located under K's

I also put in 2 paragraphs on how to interpret the post.

They are starting kick, the old stuff of Nick

Snoopy is soon to arrive, and Nick theming is barely alive.


I might have just rhymed, but Nick themes have been over timed. ;)

Sorry. My bad.
EDIT: The Cedar Point Discussion Thread is a Coaster thread. I'll post there and need to change the title.

^Nice job pointing out both ones. I was going to say something, until i saw that post.

Can't wait untill that Torndao lands in HH!

[nitrofan]

The Official version is still the first post in the thread.

I just edited it with some new info from Six Flags!

[Jp]

I head that the new coaster at La Ronde is called "Half Supsended".

[palmer]

^That's a stupid name. How can an SLC be "Half Suspended"? LOL

[nitrofan]

I head that the new coaster at La Ronde is called "Half Supsended".

It's probably just a rough translation.

[palmer]

What's the name in French, because i take French and i can try to translate it. if not, i'll ask my French teacher what it is translated into.

[Austin]

Demi de Supsended

[palmer]

Demi is half/ half of de is of/at/by Suspended is suspended. So it looks to be Half of Suspended, Of Half Suspended, or Half Suspended

[Austin]

thats bc i translated half suspended into french

[Asa]

just for the record- The Screamin' Eagle renovation has not been confirmed.

[Austin]

They dont confirm renovations. They already have the parts on site for one.

[Asa]

They dont confirm renovations. They already have the parts on site for one.

the trains and... ?

[Austin]

Thats pretty much all they need. It will be done probably though.

[nitrofan]

Shapiro confirmed that Texas Giant would get Gerstatular trains when it reopens in 2011. Maybe the trains are just being temporarily stored at SFStL to be moved to SFOT soon.

[palmer]

^Gerstatular trains? Is that close to GCI's Millenium Flyers trains?

[nitrofan]

^Gerstatular trains? Is that close to GCI's Millenium Flyers trains?

In a way, they share styles, but they are completely different.

[dragonqueengirl]

so what . trains?

[acquaz10]

SFNE is getting the reuturn of the Glow in the Park Parade and Thunderbolt is going to be painted.

[palmer]

^My question is how are you gonna paint a old white wooden coaster? It would look nasty with some colors. I don't see a wooden coaster with any other color other han brown, white or grayish white

[elvisboogens]

Why does a wooden coaster need to be painted? The fact that it looks like wood because it is wood is enough appeal.

[palmer]

Screamscape:
(9/30/09) Screamscape has been informed that Kings Dominion has also confirmed that Scooby Doo will be coming out of the park’s dark ride for the 2010 season. The ride will remain open, just all the Scooby Doo themeing will be removed.

Well, you can add that to the list, sort of.

[nitrofan]

so what . trains?

Actually, trains can completely change the ride experience. PTC trains are the lowest level of wooden coaster trains (TG's current trains). Just better trains will probably be an improvement.

SFNE is getting the reuturn of the Glow in the Park Parade and Thunderbolt is going to be painted.

Do you have a link for this>

Why does a wooden coaster need to be painted? The fact that it looks like wood because it is wood is enough appeal.

A lot of it has to do with treating the wood. The wooden coasters that are painted are usually the older ones that were built before treated wood was a big deal.

[acquaz10]

http://www.sixflags.com/newEngland/info/News_2010SeasonPass.aspx

They are obviously going to repaint it white. Have you people seen Thunderbolt. It hasn't been painted once since 1941. Wood coasters need to be painted if they were painted when they were built. Thunderbolt is a white woodie so its all chipped and it looks really unsafe, even though it is.

[nitrofan]

Ok, thanks.

That's a long time for a coaster to go without paint!

[palmer]

Screamscape
(10/2/09) According to the LA Times, if their earlier report that the 2010 attraction for SFMM is indeed a new coaster of some kind, this would rekindle the battle for the Coaster Crown between Magic Mountain and Cedar Point. If built, The Mountain would tie with The Point, with each park featuring 17 coasters.


So nothing is being removed. Just pointing out, they are trying to tie the record.

[elvisboogens]

You know, if they got Chang it would move them closer to CP. Not that they will.

[palmer]

^Why would they get Chan gwhen they have Riddler's Revenge, which is younger and basically the same layout?

[elvisboogens]

I don't know or care. Just typing to be typing.

[Austin]

Lol. I bet its a family coaster. Or a kiddie coaster

[nitrofan]

Lol. I bet its a family coaster. Or a kiddie coaster

What's the difference? That place already has a good selection of kid rides and kids coasters, they just don't make a big deal out of them. They just need to make an effort to advertise them better.

[Austin]

Because why would they spend all this money on stuff this year, they only spent 100Million last year for new stuff. They are on track this year to spend more with all these renovations, the new waterpark, new coaster, and then generally maintence and repair work over the off-season.

$105 Million has been approved by the bankruptcy courts for expansion in 2010 and $110 has been approved for 2011. Unless they get out of bankruptcy soon, this is the maximum they will spend on park improvements or expansion.

[Jp]

I have added a couple more parks!

[palmer]

^Um...you forgot Alton Towers.

[Jp]

^The intro of the first post said only USA parks not international. That's why I didn't do it.

[palmer]

O, i forget that Alton is across the pond. Oops. Sorry.

[nitrofan]

O, i forget that Alton is across the pond. Oops. Sorry.

Bonus Points!! Freestyle Music Park reference!

They took SFNO off of www.sixflags.com

[acquaz10]

Flashback at SFNE is getting painted also. Well actually its almost done being painted.

[nitrofan]

They took SFNO off of www.sixflags.com

That's interesting, I just saw it on the site about a week ago.

[palmer]

Bonus Points!! Freestyle Music Park reference!

Wait....what? LOL


Anyway, S:ROS @ SFA is getting a new coat of paint, but it's the same color, so i'm unsure if you want to add it.

[nitrofan]

Wait....what? LOL

At Freestyle Music Park, the British themed section is called Across The Pond.

The British section also happens to be across a pond from the rest of the park, so it's kind of a coincidence. They probably planned it that way though.

[palmer]

^"I see" said the blind man to his deaf horse. LOL

[nitrofan]

I added the new info from Knotts Berry Farm.

[acquaz10]

You can remove the Thunderbolt at SFNE getting painted this year because it is confirmed that it won't be painted this year. But something major will happen to it in 2011. This was confirmed at Superhero Celebration today.

Also confirmed is new floats for the Glow in the Park Parade, lots of painting, and maintenance.

The park president also confirmed that SFI will still be swapping rides, they aren't done just yet.

[Jp]

^ I fixed it!!

Thanks for the updates!

[acquaz10]

Forgot to add that there is going to be a new restaurant in the Harbor.

[Austin]

Adding it and sea worlds new slide in a moment.

Six Flags Great America Purchases Historic Wooden Coaster

Purchase of Classic Wooden Coaster from Kiddieland Amusement Park Keeps Chicago History Alive

Six Flags Great America announced today the purchase of a vintage wooden roller coaster, The Little Dipper. The coaster operated at Kiddieland Amusement Park from 1950 until September of this year when the amusement park closed. The coaster will retain its original name and become the 14th coaster in Six Flags Great America's impressive line-up of roller coasters.

The Little Dipper was designed by Herbert Schmeck and built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1950. The family-friendly coaster features a three story tall lift hill and is designed as a figure eight track which runs 700 feet in length. It has been honored with the ACE Coaster Classic award by the American Coaster Enthusiasts.

"The Little Dipper has been a fond family tradition for over 50 years," said
Hank Salemi, Six Flags Great America's park president. "We wanted to preserve this important piece of Chicago history for families to experience for many more years to come."

Guests can create a season of memories on The Little Dipper with a 2010 Season Pass which is on sale now at sixflags.com for the low price of $64.99. Season Passes include admission to the best water park in the nation, Hurricane Harbor, as well as discount-packed value book with more than $500 dollars worth of offers including four Bring-A-Friend-Free tickets.

Six Flags Great America is located between Chicago and Milwaukee and offers fun for the entire family with heart-pounding roller coasters including Raging Bull, a free 15-acre water park, spectacular shows and parades, three children's themed areas including Wiggles World and meet and greets with Six Flags' world-famous cast of characters, including Mr. Six.

About Six Flags, Inc.
Six Flags, Inc. is a publicly-traded corporation headquartered in New York City and is the world's largest regional theme park company with 20 parks across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The Tiger side of Gwazi at BGT is getting re-tracking right now. It might be opened before 2010, but there's a chance that it will take a little while.

The Tiger side of Gwazi at BGT is getting re-tracking right now. It might be opened before 2010, but there's a chance that it will take a little while.

It'll be open before high season though. Thanks for the update, I'll add that.

I also took Demon Drop off of Knott's Berry Farm and Screamin' Swing off of California's Great America.

[palmer]

^Um....the Screamin' Swing is true.

http://travel.latimes.com/daily-deal-blog/index.php/californias-great-am-5682/

California’s Great America officials expect the Screamin’ Swing ride at Knott’s Berry Farm to be relocated to the Santa Clara theme park by summer 2010.
Knott’s is removing the pneumatically powered pendulum swing ride to make room for Demon Drop, a 26-year-old thrill ride being removed from Cedar Point and relocated to the Buena Park theme park.


Demon Drop is gone, and the Swing is hanging on a limb. The Swing is most likely gone. This was the gameplan. Since Dorney popped up out of nowhere, Knott's gets screwed over twice, losing out on Demon Drop and losing Screamin' Swing.

You can take out Demon Drop, but the Screamin' Swing is heading to California's Great America.

[Austin]

But demon drop is heading to dorney. Pieces are already showing up there

[palmer]

^Screamscape said that the pieces didn't seem to match the description of Demon Drop. Only the S&S Drop Tower pieces. The color was different and the steel seemed "newer"

[palmer]

Screamscape:

(12/7/09) According to a source that went by the park the other day, the noticed that some large sections of Batman have indeed been repainted Blue. Given the location however, this may be a difficult thing to get pictures of from a public area unless someone local knows a good spot.

There's also pictures on the site. maybe, we can see another Bizarro. I wouldn't be happy with it. After a whole season at looking at a royal purple colored coaster with annoying advertisements (at the park/computer/TV) and a storyline about someone who speaks his english backwards, you start to get sick of it.

Anyone know Batman villians (just saying. maybe a storyline) with a blue color to him/her?

[Jp]

I have updated it!

[palmer]

Kennywood's coaster is called Sky Rocket.

[palmer]

To add on, The Fantasyland Expansion, which has been confrimed and is set to be finished in 2014, has some news. Disney annouced that construction will begin in the Spring of 2010. Therefore, this is gonna take 4 years to finish (hopefully it is a major rehab and very succesful when it debuts).

[Austin]

crap. im supposed to be going in july. great. i dont like going to disney when major construction in the parks like that is going on.

[palmer]

Cedar Point has confirmed (http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm?entry=6d733745-f67d-48de-8adb-2fbfcedb0310) that Demon Drop is 100% going to Dorney Park.

[Austin]

Added a few other coasters and additions and updated some others.

[Jp]

I have added the SFMM Batman getting painted!!!

[Austin]

where did you hear that?

^ TPR go on to the SFMM thread or go to Six Flags Magic Mountain Ride Page and it says batman being repainted!

Dear god. I'll add it in soon. Just hope we dont get it.

[palmer]

^Just me, walking out of dark, dimly lighted Skull Mountain and walking into colorful, bright Wiggles World, in between the Wiggly Store (i think) and Yummy Yummy Cafe is not a fun thing. I wish Wiggle's World was just Seaport. (IF YOU ARE WONDERING, THIS IS ABOUT SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE'S WIGGLE'S WORLD)

Actually it won't be a Wiggles Water World, it will be Mr. Six's Splash Island.

[Jp]

I had updated it!

[Austin]

Updated.

Looks like the new gravity coaster wont open this year at quassy either.

[nitrofan]

^Just me, walking out of dark, dimly lighted Skull Mountain and walking into colorful, bright Wiggles World, in between the Wiggly Store (i think) and Yummy Yummy Cafe is not a fun thing. I wish Wiggle's World was just Seaport. (IF YOU ARE WONDERING, THIS IS ABOUT SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE'S WIGGLE'S WORLD)

I completely agree! It almost hurt your eyes. lol

Well, an very helpful man at Great Adventure Online took some aerial photos of that hibernating park, and he does this often. And one thing became very noticable and another has noticed the other one. First off, Twister (Huss) is being "disassembled". The car, supports and the turny thingy are placed in front of the ride's sign, station, and remains. Nobody knows if it's a renovation of the messed up cycle of the ride that has occurred often in the year, more towards the beginning, or if it is removed. Nothing to confirm, but we may see a renovation.

The other one is actually big in a small way. Old Country section has been blocked off for several seasons now. Old country is a small area with two or three flats, a showcase theater, an outdoor pic-nic thingy i have never been to, and a small restaurant. Ever since the Media Day of The Dark Knight, the area has been SBNO except that pic-nic area. In the area, there's two ways to enter, Movietown (which has gates now, only to allow you to go to the pic-nic area) and Main Street/ Fantasay Forest, which has been blocked off by a random and useless Cabana rental area, which in my mind should be in Hurrican Habor, and a basketball prize game, which has been use plenty of times. One of the pictures looks to be that there is no Cabana area and basketball prize game. This might be a re-opening of Old Country. Nothing Confirmed, a possible "rumor"

[Austin]

Is Twister the same as breakdance at SFKK? If it is we've seen the same thing here. a few years back all the ride vehicles were stripped, and the inside was opened up and was being worked on for a long period of time.

[palmer]

No, Breakdance is a Huss Breakdance, which is very much different. Twister is a Huss Top Spin. GADV use to have a Huss Breakdance call Rodeo Stampede, now is El Toro.

[Jp]

More stuff has been added!!

[Jp]

I have a really good feeling that Six Flags will post their 2010 additions, the first two weeks of February (1st - 15th)!!

Six Flags America: Is going to tell a little boy about Thomas Town on Feb. 10th and so there might be a press realese right after that!
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom: The naming of the giraffe is going to be announced on the first!

[Austin]

Major update. Including ride names, great wolf lodge and fixed spacing issues and alphabetic order.

[Jp]

Added SFMM coaster name!!

[palmer]

I didn't see if you put this or not, but....

GADV's Main Street/Entrance is getting some renovation

and King's Dominion is changing some names of rides, such as Boo Berry Blast on Boo hill or something like that

The King's Dominion names go along with Planet Snoopy so I'm not going to add that. I did add the repaint of Main Street. I actually made an account on GAH the other day just so I could see the pictures. It looks very nice.

[Austin]

I personally hate the new names for the rides. Who names a classic ride, Boo Blasters on Boo Hill?

^Only if Paramount was still under ownership....

[nitrofan]

So now appearently this Mr. Six Splash Island thing at SFNE is just a renovation. Way to go Six Flags...

[Austin]

Ill update everything else once class gets started and if i can do work and etc while shes giving notes on time management lol.

Quick update. Can someone confirm the status of SFOG items btw? It says nothing new for 2010 but where did these come from?

Added an item for California Great America, and removed Waldameer park.

[acquaz10]

No it isn't. Well it is but it isn't. It is a renovation AND expansion to the existing one. I'm not sure how big the expansion will be however. I can confirm this because I asked on Twitter.

Hey its better than what SFKK is getting for 2010... Nothing!

[Austin]

at least thats all we know at this point.

[sccard01]

we never get anything really fun!

[nitrofan]

at least thats all we know at this point.

At this point, nothing big is coming in 2010.

The paint job on Batman has been confirmed, but I'm not sure about anything else. They will probably have some major renovations to the resteraunts and shops in the back section of the park.

[Austin]

Those shops sound plausible but im trying to figure out about the waterpark now.

I'm still waiting for my season pass brochure in the mail.

[sccard01]

Most likely there not mailing out brochures this off-season. The brochures never been mailed out this late, they're always mailed out right before Christmas just in time for that holiday. So i wouldn't count on waiting.

I put them on there and on the offical website on the all food and fun page it list some new food offering coming to the park.

[Austin]

Ok, I'll wait until I hear more from the park then.

The water park in Atlanta is completely separate from SFOG. I don't think the water park would be on SFOG's Screamscape page.

EDIT: Here is a link to the official Six Flags site where it mentions it:

http://www.sixflags.com/whiteWater/rides/wiggleswaterworld.aspx

[palmer]

So basically, Six Flags owns a water park that is not in the area of the Six Flags theme park? That's different. Well, SFOG is in Austell, which is less than a half an hour way from Atlanta (via Google maps). So it's about 1/2 away. At least they don't say something like SFGAm is right next to Chicago (which is wrong, about an hour away or so).

[Austin]

Ok thanks nitro. Ill keep up the SFOG items unless things change.

Fully updated with items missed within the last week or so.

[acquaz10]

Tonight was the meeting to discuss 2010 park improvements for SFNE.

Heres what is going to happen for 2010.

The 1st project discussed was the addition of a new entrance and ticket booths in the premier and handicap lot. You will no longer have to drive to the back where the employee lot is and then drive all the way back to the front to get into the premier lot. When you pull in you will go to the left where they will have new ticket booths to get into the lot. The old entrance will be just for Employees and Deliveries.

The 2nd project was the NEW Johnny Rockets which will be a new building constructed across from the Coral Reef Cantina and will be a walk up style JRs like the one on Main st.

The 3rd Project was the Mr Six Splash Island which is going to be an addition to the existing kiddie area near hurricane bay and will expand into the premier lot.

the 4th and 5th projects were Meet&Greet areas complete with photobooth to purchase your pic. One is going into the southend near the antique cars and Mind Eraser and the other is located at the entrance to Crack Axle Canyon.

the 6th Project is the construction of a 78,000 sqft warehouse that will be used for food storage and Merchandise and will have 2,000 sqft of offices. It will have its own parking lot and 2 shipping bays.

The last project is tabled until it goes through the conservation committee.

[Austin]

Thanks. I'll fill this into the list and the other rides that were announced last week and this week.

Major update. Lots of additions and all grammar and typos errors were fixed.

[palmer]

Gwazi (both tracks) at Busch Gardens Tampa are recieving Millennium Flyer trains. Well, what the profile of train looks like. http://bgtguide.com/bgt/gwazitrain

[Austin]

Its not official. Thats a rental MF probably from Ozark Wildcat. But with them putting a new anti-rollback system on from GCI it will probably be added.

[Jp]

If didn't know yet La Ronde just announced today a new (paying- $7.00) attraction for the 2010 season; Terminator X.
