Buy or Sell: Kings Island will get the first axis in the Cedar Fair chain
Buy or sell: the Dorney Park project will fall through before next year
Buy or Sell, "cedar fair is done with RMCing wooden coasters, so hurler at carowinds, or grizzly at KD will never become I-Box hybrids" (please ignore if this has already been done!)
Buy or sell: in the next 5-10 years B&M will debut a hyper/giga with inversions
Buy or Sell: Kiddie flash will become the number one coaster in Georgia💀
Buy or Sell – Frontier City’s next ride addition will either be a starflyer or drop tower across from Wildcat where the rotor used to be.
Velocicoaster isn’t even the best steel coaster in Florida, let alone anywhere. #irongwazigang
BUY OR SELL: The Chicago area will get a second major park in the next 10 years
buy or sell alton towers' next coaster will be a b&m wing coaster
buy or sell: kings island will fill the vortex’s plot of land in the next 10 years.
The Batmans at SFGAdv (longer operating season) and SFMM (year-round ops) have more wear and tear than the one at SFGAm (which is only entering its 31st season as it was SBNO in 2020)
The city of Jacksonville(the biggest city by land mass) should at least get an amusement park
Buy or sell: World's of fun will get a mack power splash coaster since they removed monsoon.
Buy or Sell: SFMM will have a Giga within 5 years and they won't remove Goliath
Buy or Sell: Aside from anything for Great Adventure’s anniversary, the next major coaster coming to the Six Flags chain goes to New England.
Buy or sell. After fire in the hole at Dollywood, the next coaster replacement will be lightning rod
Buy or sell: vortex at kings islands replacement will be a vekoma wing coaster just like F.L.Y.
Buy or Sell: Funtown Pier in Seaside NJ will return with a new coaster, akin to Hydrus or Galeforce, by 2030.
Buy or Sell: some ancient civilisation(s) — Mayans, Egyptians, anyone — had roller coasters that were lost to time.
Buy or sell: Six Flags starts adding big raptors and dives again instead of kiddie coasters in 2024
Buy or Sell: Great Adventure’s 50th anniversary will be a massive failure with no major events or announcements planned (I anticipate some announcements, of course, but they will be underwhelming and disappointing). The most that will happen is that fans will be extremely frustrated with the Nitro re-theme to Goliath, and all-in-all, it will be one of the most controversial seasons in the history of the park and in the history of the Six Flags company.
Buy or sell:Alabama’s adventure will start growing rapidly over the next 10 years
Buy or sell: wild aventures next big ride will be from Vekoma
Buy Or Sell: There will be a massive coaster war the next decade between Hershey Park , Great Adventure, & Dorney Park
Buy or Sell: Busch Gardens Williamsburg will become a top year park when a coaster opens after DARKosater
Buy or sell: Knotts gets CGAs raptor in the next 7 years
Buy or Sell: Australia gets a new world class coaster in the next few years (like dc rivals or better)
Buy or sell, lagoon in the next ten years will open a 300ft or taller coaster, which will over take fury & velcicoaster for one of the best coasters
Buy or Sell: Cedar point will drop to the third best park in the United States
Buy or sell: a vekoma hyper coaster will be built at a six flags park in the next 10 years due to it having a cheaper price than a b@m hyper.
Buy or Sell: If the Nemesis retrack is a major success, other parks will do this to their older B&M's – like Dragon Khan, Kumba, or the Batman Clones.
Buy or sell rmc family coaster will not sell well
Buy or Sell: Ravine Flyer II will get a barrel roll like Hades 360, and maybe get a retrack.
I've shared this elsewhere, but I don't think the revamped Dragster will need more than 2 launches. A backwards launch to 60 mph should be enough to set up a forward launch to 120 mph. In that case, the reverse spike only needs to be about 140 ft tall. And it doesn't matter how tall the spike is, since Cedar Point will be able to market it as the "world's tallest and fastest multi-launch coaster."
Buy or Sell: Six Flags sells La Ronde and the Great Escape by 2030 to develop its mid-tier parks.
Buy or Sell: The next super successfull Coaster will open in asia
Buy or sell: Project exodus will be Europes best coaster
BUY OR SELL: SWSD and SWO will eventually get an S&S Screamin' Swing.
Buy or sell: no more amusment parks bought/built by Sea world, CF, SF in the next 10 years
Buy or Sell: Wildcat's Revenge will be in the top 5 RMC coasters.
Buy or Sell: With new inversions comming around, the vertical loop will eventualy go extinct/massively lose popularity
