| | | Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom 05' Announcement!
Screamscape.com has posted that on January 25, 2005, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom will make a "BIG" announcement that will blow everyone away!!! I am very excited about this, since it is my home park. I hope it is a new coaster, preferably anything from Intamin or a floorless.

| | | There's already a thread about this and I came up with the idea that it will most likely be a Proslide Tornado.
Look at the facts:
Late announcement meaning a smaller ride that wont take long to build
will BLOW us away, much like a Tornado does
Six Flags has been adding these in a few of their parks recently
It all seems to add up

i dont see why SF keeps makeing this slide. i have been on SFNEs and SFWWs. SFNES was the first torndaro slide at a SF park.. it has very very long slow lones.. for a very fast slide that is fun.. but not great.. both at sfne and sfww first you wait 15 - 20 mins in line for the tube... then to wait 40 - 50mins on the steps going up the slide... and for what? a side that rocks you back and forth 3 times...

| | | Most likely it'll be a proslide tornado & a possible retheme to hurricane harbor for SFKK's waterpark.
It's pretty much gonna be the same thing at SFA as well although they've got the hints on their site(as well as in the park)worded differently with the phrase "tropical fun warning" & "hurricane forecast for 2005" so we all know what'll be happening there.
Now I wonder if both SFKK & SFA will announce on the same date? both of their projects appear to be roughly the same thing but SFA tends to announce it's plans usually in mid february so we'll have to wait & see what happens. |

However, I'm not arguing with you on whether or not they'll get a Proslide Tornado. I like to hope for other things (like an S&S Screamin' Squirrel or a Zamperla Power Surge) but I know that those kind of things don't have as high of a likelihood of being installed as a Proslide Tornado does.

-Top Thrill Dragster @ Cedar Point was announced January 9th
-Batwing @ Six Flags America was announced February 15th
-Superman @ Six Flags America was announced March 15th
-Nitro @ Six Flags Great Adventure was announced February 1st
-Ragin' Cajun @ Six Flags Great America was announced January 17th
Fact is Six Flags likes to announce late in the year and time of announcement has nothing to do with the size of the ride but rather when it is most profitable to announce the ride. Most of the time if the ride is announced late in the year, it has already been underconstruction for a month or so already.

| | | It is not going to be a big rollercoaster. Big as in even "medium-sized" terms. The park just has no space to put in something like that, unless they decide to remove Chang or T2 which is not going to happen anytime soon. It will most likely be a ProSlide Tornado, like many have mentioned above. It's a family water attraction that has proven to be popular at all other Six Flags parks that it has been installed in - plus, that ride won an industry award and is space conscious. |

| | | Now that I think about it though, I'm not so sure I see where a ProSlide Tornado can be installed. I can think of only one space, but I'm not entirely sure if that place really exists or is just a figment of my imagination. Does anybody know where they would possibly install this? |

looking at this map could it go where "30" is?
or maybe next to "45" and "21"?
