Batmans, Nemesis, and Tatsu are all thrilling, but the floor-less rides like Bizzaro or Dark Night are so not intense.

They'll probably get a speed coaster, a floor-less, and an inverted.

I'm a coaster enthusiast here in Orlando and I'd more than welcome it. Don't know how profitable it would be though. I have a hard enough time finding local people to get on the top thrill rides here in Central Florida (mostly B&M as someone mentioned before). I'd probably be hitting the rides at this new park by myself or just me and my GF at best! The best coaster (as far as thrills go) in Orlando to me is Kraken and the line on it is NEVER longer than a 10 min wait. Granted, few people go to Seaworld just for the rides. Plus people in central Florida are spoiled by the terrific theming around here. This park would have to really get creative there to spark major interest.

Now, personally I'd be THRILLED to have this park here. X2 is my favorite coaster and I'd love to not have to fly to SoCal to get on something like it. Haven't been to any of the Northeast or Midwest parks, but having thrill rides of that caliber (Kingda Ka, megacoasters, Intamins, etc.) within driving distance would be sweet.

yea we have oaks park but I fell asleep on half the rides and the other half i was either physiclly damaged or convinced it was going to break still a nice little family park if you run out of sight seeing in the city or if you visit there frequently. how much does it take to get a six flags in seattle if not portland but as you pointe out we do have alot of other stuff and our friendly nighbors down in california

Really? It's a THRILL PARK. Not just your typical Six Flags park. While B&M coasters are amazing, it sounds like this park is for extreme coasters. Not that B&Ms can't be extreme, what I mean is that it sounds like it's for some unique coasters. (Sorry for the caps…)

Very good point, I've been thinking about how the entire Northwest has no major park, leaving big cities like Seattle and Portland with no good coasters. Oh well, they have a lot of things to do up there anyway, I guess you can't have it all.

What about a B&M giga drop coaster thats probabley never going to happen but imagine that. or even an amped up normal one could fit in with 4ds and that launch coaster

yeah I am probabley still wishing for another el toro type ride because I only got the chance to ride it once and would have like to log about 20 rides. I visited kings island after son of beast was down so I wouldnt know but I had heard from locals it was terriably rough. and you do make a great point about bigger is not always better (blue streak) but with this line up im not sure how some woodie just above 100' would fit in because of the park seemingly going for extreme thrill unless it was an ultra intenese twister.

How about shwoing oregon some love? so I can visit a park and not have to drive six hours or fly cross country exept i doubt that will ever happen due to the fact it could only operate about 3 or 4 months a year. I wil keep wishing though
