    I give the park credit for going out and bringing in a new train to try and correct some issues. There are always going to be mods and enhancements to something new. They could fine tune it and dial it in nicely.
    Cat Woman's is a nice bridge for kids and parents to ride a coaster until the kids are tall enough for Pandy or Thunderbolt and the back seat has a fun whip effect.

    If any coaster has to go, Flashback is somewhat redundant now but its still fun and the lines arent long. Besides, if you yank it, what else will fit in that spot?

    ZacSpin, premier launch, halfpipe coaster, inverted impulse. There are some options.

    Premier Launch wouldn't fit without removing the access road, panda express and basically the entire left side. So that's a no.
    Impulse days seem to be over for six flags.
    A half pipe wouldn't happen. Another one train coaster isn't on their mind.
    ZacSpin. No.
    The worst coaster I ever experienced.

    Not the premier launch.
    I gotta say, I don't see flashback going right now.

    just saying that if you remove Flashback, I dont think the park will use that spot for another coaster. The real estate around it has now been recently upgraded with stuff that would now make any compact coaster that you fit in that same spot seem kinda blah?

    A premier launch coaster would deffinetly be able to for in flashbacks spot. All that's needed is the launch track and a pretty short station (considering how small their cars are) and then it would be able to launch out of flashbacks old area and up and over the midway, do I see this likely no, but its deffinetly feasible

    No it isn't, that really isn;t possible. You'd need to get ride of everything around it which they never wood.

    Really the only way that would work is if they got rid of Goliath.

    FB might be the next coaster to leave because the North End is starting to become more popular, especially with IC. Flashback never has a line past the stairs when I go. Because of this, I believe that they will be getting rid of FB to make room for another ride.

    Which would be a flat if they actually replaced it with something. I doubt FB will go.

    Goliath is not going anywhere. Think about it - it just got here in 2012 and they spent some serious coin bringing it here from CA, I can't picture them getting rid of it when it's only on its third season here...

    Hey don't get me wrong I found it very odd reading from a couple articles when they announced Goliath that it was only projected to stay for a couple of years, I actually love Goliath (dare I say this since I haven't been on it yet this year) but hopefully they can solve the problem with the wheels so it can be enjoyable to everyone again!

    Im still holding out hope for them to remove fb and put balloon race in the old euro-bungees spot which gives them a big enough footprint for a custom motocoaster.:)

    The only thing I want to see in the old bungee spot are ride lockers! They could be used for pandemonium and Blizzard River so you wouldn't have to risk breaking all of your electronics anymore.
