They kinda have with S&S with the swing things... Ut all the rest needs to be given a chance! Six flags seems to be more more open minded to different companies...

Maverick at CP looks awesome! Now that I have my giga wish coming true, I agree next coaster should be a launch......

Does B&M not make launch coasters? I know carowinds doesn't need another B&M after this.....

Is this sole reason CF isn't dealing with Intamin right now is because of the maintenance issues their rides have? Or are there other reasons?

I highly doubt its anything to do with that. To me, it seems the parks are shifting from thrill ride after thrill ride after thrill ride. Im sure we are gonna see more intamin rides (not just coasters) at cedar fair parks in the future...

and after thursday we will know for sure if B&M make launch coasters...hopefully.

Maverick IS awesome.


Maverick is fun, but the OTSR keep it from being awesome. I underestimated the headbanging on that ride.

^^^The only time I felt discomfort with the harnesses is at the 90 degree bank under the launch hill and during the Stengel dive.

I felt discomfort throughout the ride....must have been the row I sat in.....wait, but I rode 4 times. I don't know, Magnum injured m as well, so maybe I'm just picky.

I would like to see a couple more family rides added outside of Planet Snoopy.

Since this is just speculation this is what I wish would be done with the south end parking lot that is never used over the next ten years or so. Half of it for a water park expansion. Clear the FX theater for a new dark ride and also clear a walk way between Thunder Road and the theater. In the remaining space of the parking lot add a Ferris wheel, an impulse coaster, and maverick type launched coaster. That's a lot of stuff to fit into that space but I think it could work.

They could easily fit a dark ride into and out of the building for AFX theater.
