I think your right, and dive machines don't take up much space. Or they can move the park outside of the city.

There is also a rumor for a dive machine, which would also make a wonderful attraction.

I would hope for a giga coaster that would drop 300-345ft tall. I would think the station would be built by perilous plunge would turn go up. It would drop down by solver bullet and go around through fiesta town and around supreme scream and xcelarator into a splash pool which leads to the station. That would be an awesome coaster!

I don't care what it is as long as it's B&M. What I was thinking is a dive coaster similar to Krake at Heide Park. It could dive down in to a splashdown and do an immelmann up and over the bridge. It could have a surf theme to fit the Boardwalk area. That would be neat.

I think there will be some clues that might help us out. Coaster Critic is right, Knott's is in the middle of a city and is land locked so there isn't a whole lot of expansion that can be done. We also know that B&M sells rides in pairs. So it'll almost certainly be some kind of B&M, BOO! (I'm not a big fan of B&M). We also know that Silver Bullet is built in a weird place in the middle of the park and flys over visitors. We also know that Periolus Plunge has closed. So could it be a large ride that runs all over the park. Yeah would imagine so. So I'd think it'll be some kind of Mega coaster maybe even a wing rider. What I'd like to see is two rides. I'd love for Boomerang to go away and be replaced by a Vekoma Giant inverted boomerang. I'd also like to see a S&S El Loco. I think the park is the right size for those and they provide tons of thrills in a small footprint.

If Knott's were to put in a hyper/giga they would most likely have the station in Perilous Plunge's spot and then have the coaster travel over Bigfoot Rapids and Pony Express towards the parking lot, take a left, turnaround near Ghostrider, and then come back.

Xcelerator is the only really excellent coaster there, although Montezooma's Revenge is a classic (best in the back seat going backwards through the loop). If they get a B&M, I hope it's not a relatively forceless one like Silver Bullet. Another site called Silver Bullet the "family mine train of inverted coasters."

If it was up to me, I'd recommend they spend their money on topper track for Ghostrider before buying another coaster.

It might be cool to start where the Perilous Plunge will soon vacate, go out behind the Coasters restaurant, wrap around Xcelerator and Supreme Scream before coming back up and over the midway. The OC Register was apparently told that they would reuse the splashdown pool and exit bridge from Plunge as well, making me think of Diamondback's splashdown at the end of the ride. Assuming that's the location the rumored coaster would be placed anyways.

Would be a great spot to see Intamin's follow-up to Skyrush, but I think Cedar Fair may finally be fed up with them.

I'm rooting for an Intamin one. I find the B&M airtime to be too gentle on average, especially on their newest rides. They tend to stick to floater, and I prefer ejector.
