Sounds better than Hot Tub Time Machine!

Except that would cost too much money for Six Flags management to except...

$7.5 million for TDKC...
Compare that to Disney's $100 million for Expedition Everest...

I still like the idea of my inverted impulse coaster let's take down magic mountain!!!

but I also want the condor back!!!

Expidition Everest is 10X better then TDK. And I'm sorry, TDK is not worth 7.5 million dollars

Kingda Ka is 28 mil
All of the B&M's except Nitro were around 15 mil
and I would guess skullie was about the same as Tdk

And a decent GG woodie would run around 7-8 mil

I agree. But a company is only going to use it's own IP, or IP it's already licensing. Since you don't work for Six Flags, the likelihood of them picking up your idea to be quite honest is slim to none. Companies make it a VERY common practice to not solicit ideas or even comment on ideas submitted to them because of the serious legal implications it can have.

I don't want to burst your bubble, or stop you from being creative overall...but you should know the reality of the situation if that is the end goal you have for Claws. You might want to focus on a new destiny for the character.

*Like Button*

B-mac · « **Reply #34 on:** May 31, 2011, 09:10:38 AM »

They did that with Green Lantern and TDK because the have the licensing to do so...

kingdakafan · « **Reply #35 on:** May 31, 2011, 04:40:00 PM »

So i planned this out. windseeker in between gl and kk. s&s drop dower in freefalls old spot, gci woodie behind tdk that would also take up spin meisters old spot and musik express and will reuse chillers station. since its a woodie, and its near batman it could be called scarecrow, and bring time warp back, and last but not least (and i know its sounds crazy with a side of insanity) but a vekoma boomerang on the lakefront. now i know everybody thinks EVIL BOOMERANG TORTURE DEVICE!!!! but if you think about it its a great choice which is why over 40 parks have one. its relatively cheap, puts you upsidedown 6 times and it goes backward. so its like an all in one package. oh and i almost forgot bumper cars come back too. but re themed to some kind of batman theme.

^And Vekoma's new trains are apparently comfy, too.

Great Adventure's new management has a HUGE laundry list of stuff they want fixed during the next few years. Going from Ride maintenance to the lack of themeing in rides and ride reliability to landscaping. I hope they aren't BSing this because it seems like they're trying to give Great Adventure the best public image in the park's history, ever.

Windseeker by GL? A little close to the wonderful parachute drop ride.

B-mac · « **Reply #38 on:** May 31, 2011, 05:51:31 PM »

Windseeker should go by the lake imo... preferably around the grandstand area. Imagine rising above the tree line and getting a spinning look at Prospertown Lake and the rest of the park.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #39 on:** June 01, 2011, 01:25:56 AM »

Or we could put the Windseeker on the clear pad that already has a shed and a queue...

Unless we're leaving that alone for our drop tower.

B-mac · « **Reply #40 on:** June 01, 2011, 06:47:07 AM »

Wasn't there a clear pad right beside the grandstands? I remember Time Twister being in that area.

Time Warp's old pad is the Festival Stage. The pad I'm talking about is near Granny's.

Ah... It's still a good general location for a ride like that.

I dont think claws will happen. Management wont listen to an idea from an "outsider".

B-mac · « **Reply #44 on:** June 02, 2011, 04:11:54 PM »

Management also won't step outside of IP they already have in place...

jimmybjammin · « **Reply #45 on:** June 24, 2011, 11:36:49 PM »

a 400 ft tall drop tower with a ton of flat rides to tie it in.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #46 on:** June 27, 2011, 11:46:13 PM »

A drop tower next to the "Three Point Challenge" basketball.

kingdakafan · « **Reply #47 on:** June 27, 2011, 11:54:44 PM »

Where the slingshot is going?

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #48 on:** June 28, 2011, 04:51:33 PM »

^ Exactly. if the sling shot is going there how bout a tower behind the Dark knight. Where Chiller's station is. After all, the stations just sitting there.

kingdakafan · « **Reply #49 on:** June 30, 2011, 05:36:40 PM »

A drop tower that shoots out of the observatory!!!
