How large is the space? Maybe a new large coaster will go there in a few years or.

I am thinking a wildmouse coaster( possibally spinning). I could also see a giant Huss section with a few flats there. An impulse would fit perfecly there but I doubt they would have four launching coasters at the park. I would like to see a new big woodie and that is a possible starting point but I would like it more if it was by the lake. And then there is the possability of a large drop tower which would be nice as well. It is reall up in the air right now.

I bet it'll be a clone of some sort of wild mouse, a drop tower (maybe a S:TOP clone), or maybe a GIB. SF seems to dislike Vekoma because of the little incident earlier though, so god knows what it could be honestly.

Screaming Squirrels arn't exactly springing up everywhere, I can't see them building that. A GIB would just be stupid. A drop tower I see them putting in though, they already have a bunch of coasters.

A drop tower would go perfect in the spot where Evolution used to be.

As for the space for Viper...an Intamin inverted impulse a la Wicked Twister would be amazing! I am a big fan of Wicked Twister...it's just a great ride. I am sure that it is highly unlikely that we would get an Intamin impulse like that...since we now have 2 lainch coasters already. Why the need for a 3rd?? Alas...I can dream.

GIB is the big boomerang coaster (Deja Vu)
GAdv could get one.. but it would be dumb.. as they cant run when its colder then like 65... and being in NJ... that would mean it could only be open may-sept.. and not be open for the start or end of the season....

Well considering they are getting the world's tallest coaster this year, I doubt they will put anything there soon.

What happened with Viper? Did they trash it? I think it was a togo, right?

Yes, it was togo. It was rough and they got enough people to say "That hurt!" to tear it down this year.

Yes, a drop tower would go great in evoulutions old spot. It has been baren for a few years now. And technically they have 3 launch coasters now if you count Chiller as two. So adding an impulse would make it four. Would that be a record?

Currently PKD has 3 so if they got a 4th at Gradv then that would probably be the most at a park.

Not that that's any big selling point. "Come to great adventure!! We've got the most launched coasters in the world!!!"

See, sounds stupid even there. lol

Here is an overhead shot of the Viper area.

There are other overviews of the area here and here.
