That electrical cord attached looks like it would limit its capabilities. Plus looks awful. Not sure why it needs that to function ? Hopefully that is just a prototype.
I'm guessing that whatever future plans SDC might have had will be pushed back at least a year at this point. It's going to be like 2009 when they abandoned Riverblast half way though construction and left a hole in the ground for a year to get through the recession. At least this time they are basically finished with the new ride. It will probably be the big new thing for three years rather than the customary two.
Id assume SDC has the capital to finish out MRFs....but hard to say how long it will be before SDC can recover that investment if the crowds are slow to come back.
Just putting this out there, I know it doesn't have a big chance of happening. Imagine a B&M flying coaster that further built on the theme of wildfire!!! That flew through the woods (with a couple hiccups in the plan ie. Pretzel loop or other cool inversions). I feel like this would add allot to their lineup since they don't have anything of an invert style and there aren't any flying coasters near by! I believe that or a hyper would be the best "next big coaster" for the park even though it doesn't have a big chance of happening. This would just be sooo cool!!!
I was assuming that the next big thing will be a rebuild of either AP, FITH, or FM. In any case, it seems pretty certain that everything will be pushed back at least a year... I'm down for a hyper though. Put it over the parking lot?
