They started the project so early, only for it to be delayed severly. Oh well, it's been par for the course for MM in the last decade or so. Twisted Colossus somehow was able to open on time though
Was really clamoring at the idea of that axis coaster, but hey, this is a nice editon for Fiesta Texas. Glad to see SF finally loosened the purse strings enough to purchase a B&M. Hopefully it's the catalyst for future projects in the chain.
Nah, Alan Schilke is on record saying the parks want bigger raptor models. Which is why we're seeing JDC and this proposed one for MM. If parks were hesitating because of cost, why are bigger/more expensive models being ordered?? We never saw Six Flags install any of the bigger/more expensive...
The first Power Splash was around $10 million, and didn't require overseas shipping. No doubt a bigger version with a loop (the version many were suggesting MM was getting) would be significantly more. Not sure how expensive you're suggesting raptors are, but doesnt seem like even the bigger...
The interesting part is there were just as many (if not more) enthusiasts claiming for certain it was a Mack Powersplash/Power Loop with no evidence other than a long, narrow strip of land being surveyed.
I'm thinking 60% chance Mack Power Splash, 40% raptor. As we have seen in the past, Six Flags doesn't always replace water rides with water rides, so the fact that Tidal Wave is being removed doesn't swing the pendulum towards a Mack for me. What does is it being SFMM's 50th anniversary and them...
I remember that rumor floating around at the time of the ride's announcement. It was also weird how Six Flags filed a trademark for the name "Gale Force 7" around the same time, that also kind of just disappeared.
