I wouldnt take out Bobsled. It is still pretty popular. Id rather get rid of Steamin' Demon. That thing is just a blue orange and yellow pile of junk. |

they have a pretty sizeable amount of space where demon is you would have to have a custom coaster but you could take out prefered parking and use the ghost town train turnaround. You could easily fit 5 flats in the same area if needed |

I agree it has been to long. but I just don't see it high on their priority list and not the year after they add a major water park addition. Maybe 2014 or 15
Problem is at their attendance they could not flip the 14 million bill fora batman sized floorless. I'd love to see a B&M coaster but Doubt we will see one unless it's relocated from another park.
Both coasters need to com out. Boblsed is more popular but can;t operate it it gets wet and can't operate a full day. They don't have a lot of attraction and need all their rides operating and for a full day. Daemon is dated and is located in a prime location to draw people in to the park. I understand Boomerang has been down a lot but since it's newer and goes in 2 directions it is more marketable.
Yes there is a lot you can do with that space. but I though preferred parking was still across the street right next to the bridge. Handicapped parking is still on park side. |

There is preferred parking on both sides then. And I'm sure SFNE had better attendence then than the Great Escape has now, but I song know where there's info on that. Also you have to remember that Batman was built during Six Flags' rapid expansion period. Building rides like that when they couldn't back it financially is what ruined the company. |

Rumor has it in Six Flags land that we are getting an S&S El Loco for 2013...so most likely, no big coasters in the next 5 years... Most likely none in the next 5 years besides next years possible coaster lol. |

Id rather keep Demon in the front than put a shitty looking El Loco in the front for everyone to see...their structures and compact layout would look terrible in front of the park. Demon hurts but i have some sort of a soft spot in my heart for it... At least it looks good in the front of the park |
