Wrong
5:45 someone's phone flies off Skyrush 😆 perfect timing
But or sell: Cedar Fair works with Mack again by 2030
Id buy
I’m buying that
Buy
I can see a Mack Hyper Coaster be built in Knotts
Buy or Sell: Backlot Stunt Coaster and Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion will get rethemed in 2025 and Anaconda will get removed to fit Jungle X-Pedition.
Easy buy
I assume you mean KD's Backlot and FOF
@@TheRealPSKilla502 Yes
That is inevitable. Though I’d rather see FoF and project 305 have their own version of Area 72 (I think) at Kings Island, retheming 305 to something like Orion. But Backlot desperately needs re-themeing.
@@Yikes_its_Psychs What would you do with Backlot at KI?
Buy or Sell: Hershey Park's next major investment will be in Chocolatetown
Sell they are apparently working on something near the kissing towers. Now how big will it be - only the park knows. Granted Chocolatetown needs something since most people ride Candimonium in the morning and don’t come back til the end of the day.
@@ninjagirl226they could do a giga out and back weaving in and out of candy, apparently I heard Hershey has a 2 coaster deal with RMC and had permits to raise the height limit to 315
Buy or Sell, Hersheypark gets a Giga in Chocolatetown. (One can only hope)
@@johnfoltz8183they cant bc of the restrictions they have
Buy because they have a whole chunk of land past candymonium and behind the giant center I could see a RMC raptor or intimin multi launch
I could see Rougarou biting the dust, but not Kumba. Im guessing that one does get retracked.
Kumba is not going anywhere
Any ride not getting a 2-hour line at Cedar Point is on the chopping block, so Rougarou is in danger. Busch Gardens Tampa doesn't mind letting people get on rides quickly, so I think Kumba is safe. If the train they're using that day has good wheels, it rides perfectly smooth, but a retracking still could happen.
Buy or sell: all the premier spaghetti bowl coasters are either scrapped or retracked by 2030
Big sell, there's no sign any of them are in trouble
@@markmcgivern5938 they’re all nearing 30 years of service, their service life is up soon.
No but the p-sghetti bowls or whatever tf they’re called (and all skylines for that matter) probably will be gone by then
Hopefully not scrapped ): i love poltergeist
@@ZMSaypol TRUE! But seriously all the premier spaghetti bowls are coming up on their service life
Buy or Sell: Cedar Point Builds a family or thrill oriented GCI wooden coaster (or something similar) on some or all of the former land of forbidden frontier.
Buy or Sell: The Airtime Thrills Skyrush slander ends due to the refurb
I guess he is back!
Buy or sell. airtime Thrills rides Skyrush and then makes a formal apology video about it
@@johnfoltz8183 this is likely
I heard skyrush runs the same but with new restraints it should make his top 75
@Coastopia That will NEVER happen!! For some reason this clown is so butthurt by Hershey, he will never acknowledge when it becomes the hands down best park in America in ten years. Skyrush is already a HUGE success!! But he'll continue to find something to bash Hersheypark about. It's extremely satisfying to watch Hershey pummel this clown video after video!!!!!
i love that chris found the most banging royalty free music for his intro. its iconic to this channel at this point
Buy or sell: when falcons flight is opened, within 15 years the worlds tallest or fastest coaster title returns to the U.S.
FF might last 2-5 seasons as is before being reduced into a more reliable attraction. There are too many ill factors and variables against it to keep this record for more than a decade.
I'd sell that one. The limiting factor for making the biggest coaster is ultimately real estate, and in the US, real estate in the places where you'd put a giant amusement project is increasingly expensive. The Saudis or Emiratis seem willing to dump truckloads of money into projects developed on empty desert land, with the idea of attracting international tourism (whether that's a good idea remains to be seen). It's kind of like Orlando 50 years ago, but Orlando today is another ball of wax.
@@MattMcIrvingreat adventure has a MASSIVE safari they could close part of and have space for a falcon’s flight
Sell
Are you aware that FF has zero welding, even bigger wheels than TT2, and fans in the station to cool there wheels down?
Buy or Sell: In the next 10 or so years, Mine Blower will get fully RMC'd or Fun Spot Orlando gets a Raptor.
Buy for both happening in the next 10 years
Great video! I really enjoyed watching this!
Buy or Sell: Canada’s Wonderland will have the most coasters out of any park in North America in the next 10 years.
Buy or sell: Millennium Force is retracked by Zamperla within the next 10 years
Buy or Sell: Six Flags Magic Mountain will replace the land for Golden Bear Theater to expand the end of Full Throttle’s layout
must buy, that layout is so short that its very bad
Buy or sell: Hersheys next big coaster is a b&m wing and will be added in the next 6 years
Hello Beaver
Buy Or Sell: Hershey Park will open a new launched family coaster in chocolate town for the 2025/2026 season.
Awesome video! This is my favorite series of yours!
Rita was supposed to go to Oakwood, Towers picked it up cheap. It’s not great, the launch is fun but my head doesn’t clear the restrains so it just gives me a headache. I can see them going with something that has better capacity as it has such a slow moving queue.
I've never heard that before, source?
If that's true its probably why it wasn't a secret weapon, but I don't see why Oakwood would want one.
Buy Or Sell: When the time comes to retrack Oblivion at Alton Towers (ala Nemesis Reborn), it gets a big extension to the layout to match the later Dive Coasters.
Buy or sell, Hersheypark brings a Twizzler themed ride in the near future. There’s a large area of construction next to great bear with a sign reading “excuse our mess we’re twisting something up” with a picture of the twizzler character.
Buy or Sell: Once MonteZOOMa reopens, Knott's will shift focus to finalizing and constructing their planned B&M Hyper
Buy or sell: After the problems with the Kid Flash coasters, Six Flags will never work with Skyline again.
After riding Skyrush for the first time last weekend, I don’t know how much worse it was before, but the new lap bars must have done a great deal, because Skyrush is undoubtedly the best coaster in the park for me. Wildcat’s revenge is a close second, but Skyrush is comfortable while also maintaining great intensity,the airtime from the smaller hills is jolting but not painful, and the absolute speed you maintain through the whole ride is exhilarating. It was the longest line in the park the day I was there, and the most worth the wait. However, I did ride it in the front on the right wing. Idk how much that changes, but the wait for the front row was completely worth it.
I work at Hershey and have been operating on skyrush for 2 days so far this season, and it’s been bussier than ever, busiest I’ve ever seen it in my year and a quarter I’ve worked at hershey
I’m ngl, it’s number 2 in the park but man is it less intense than I remember. Hopefully it has some time to warm up and get a lot more intense, even rode the magic seat and it didn’t do much for me
@@sendyboi7028 def less intense, but not by a lot
Buy or Sell: With Worlds of Fun and Dorney Park getting major additions in back to back years, we could see Valley Fair or Michigan’s Adventure get a major Coaster for 2025
Well I will be visiting Hershey in May and I hope the new restraints are better. My last visit in 2019 skyrush was closed.
0:53 I can definitely see it being used for supporting the ride, or about efficient ways to split up track into pieces it is made in.
Buy or sell: to increase their workload GCI or gravity group start making steel coasters in the next ten years
The Middle Eastern oil monarchies have oil money but know the world is pivoting away from running on their primary product. They can see the writing on the wall, and crazy luxury tourism is one thing they can do to try to diversify their portfolio.
that does make sense. it's gonna be a long long long time before the world doesn't need oil anymore but it's inevitable once the technology allows it to happen
@@AirtimeThrills It's the loooong view. Another thing they've got in abundance is sunlight, so expect them to try to figure out ways to export solar energy (though PV cells do have issues with extreme heat, which they're already trying to deal with).
I saw on Coliwood Studios that Skyrush was pulling a healthy crowd on opening day. I will get my first crack at the new Skyrush restraints this Sunday.
Buy or sell: Disneyland retracks the Matahorn before its 75th Aniversity, or Disney land 100th birthday.
Buy or sell: nighthawk becomes an ACE landmark for being the worlds first flying coaster
LETS GOOOOOO I FINALLY ADDED IT THANK YOU SO MUCH
I rode SkyRush for the first time just this past weekend and it was awesome. I never got to experience the old restraints, but the new ones are very comfortable
Seaworld inc. right now is exactly how all parks should be. Aggressive coaster installations lol.
Buy or sell:there will be no more intamins at cedar fair or six flags parks because Richard Zimmerman is the ceo of the merged company
I was at hershey opening weekend. skyrush was getting the longest lines in the park (other than laughtrakk and cupfusion) with the new restraints. however, that might just be because opening weekend is when a lot of enthusiasts come.
I was there too, man the crowds were packed in on Friday, Saturday it was bearable, didn’t go sunday
First one! Keep up the great work! Only the tallest and fastest and longest coaster in the world has me cracking up!😂😂
But or Sell: Project/Intimidator 305 will be rethemed around the jungle expedition area of the park.
That Hot Go question is something I've been thinking about. I'd love to them pull it off.
Buy or Sell: Galactica will go under some sort of re-theme or have major work on it for the 2025 season since project horizon has been delayed to 2026 and Nemesis Reborn has completely over-hauled Forbidden Valley. (Not linked to the Buy or Sell but I really have found you videos useful in looking into the US coaster space but still I really hope you can come to the UK soon I think you will love Hyperia and recently I have seen people up on the lift, if u do come I would love to meet you)
Thanks for using my Skyrush idea! I guess we’ll have to see how guests respond 😅.
It’s completely mid, all the forces are gone except the first drop
I haven't ridden it yet but people were crowding it opening day so it seems like the change is popular so far
@@drpenguin57 I do agree I need to give it time to warm up, but wildcats revenge is far more intense
I really hope NE gets a coaster just was there sat and we need it bad. And then I went to NJ Sunday the track is all there they had footers set it’d go up quick
Buy or sell: 2026 will be the year for Kings Island getting a new major coaster!
the unfortunate thing about Sea World is that while they do have more attractions and have pretty successfully rebranded, they still have the Orca Shows that were the entire problem in the first place. (kudos to the PR team that managed to save SeaWorld's brand without them actually fixing the problem)
5:44 someone's phone went flying 😂
Believe it or not, Kumba gets a line most busy days at the park, it just has such good capacity, it also from what I hear has way higher numbers then what people think. It has also recently just gotten a new sign and is taken way better care of then Montu.
Buy or sell: Alpengeist Gets a retrack for its 30th anniversary and gets its trim breaks removed.
I don't really expect it to be around longer than 15 years from now. It is loosing ridership and I don't really see Busch Gardens putting much investment into it. We will just have to wait and see. Good thinking thought!
Also, I had a dream that Intimidator 305 was inverted.
3:32 - hey, there's an idea for a video: "top [whatever] coasters with hand-me-down stations." it's an unbelievably niche topic, but hell, I'd watch it.
haha that is unbelievably niche, maybe best off for a short. El Toro for the win. Though every RMC technically would qualify
Me and you had the same exact opinion about sky rush last year: absolute garbage, but I rode this about 10 times opening weekend and it’s fighting for the number 1 spot at Hershey against wildcats revenge now 🙌🏼
Are you going to the top thrill 2 preview event?
I went on SkyRush Sunday. I'm a bigger guy. I feel like it was stapling my stomach instead of my thighs. Hard to breath during the ride. Skinny people will probably love the new restraints though. Time to lose weight I guess...lol.
Eh kinda ruined it for me, didn’t feel as intense and the forces are killed, and I sat in the magic seat,
Airtime Thrills notif... instant click
Buy or Sell: a SeaWorld Park will be the first to use B&M's ejector seats on one of their hyper coasters
?
@@ppppppvvvgvv the seats that articulate like on Pipeline. It would feel like an ejector seat on a hypercoaster.
oh
I'm buying this in a heartbeat. In fact, I've heard they were considering using them on Penguin Trek but chose not to.
Buy or Sell: Six Flags Great America gets a record breaking roller coaster for their 50th anniversary in 2026.
Buy: RMC T Rex 😏
Tallest single rail coaster?
@@Mythyval leaving it up for interpretation. Could be a legit record like that or a “Six flags” record.
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od If the tease by RMC is true, the TRex will go to SFMM, but I can see a package deal to put a Raptor at SFGA as well as one at SFNE.
They are way overdue for their next coaster, maybe 2025 instead of 2026. I would bet a B&M Dive.
Buy or sell: If Voltron at Europa park is successful cedar fair or six flags will buy striker coasters for their parks
There already is another Chance Hyper GTX being planned for a second Mattel park in Kansas City, (Kansas) that was announced a few weeks ago. It will have the same 2 coasters as in Arizona.
The one near Phoenix opens next year, the one in Kansas opens in 2026.
Buy or Sell: SFDK closes before CGA, as Cedar does a repeat of what they pulled with CGA, but without much pushback by the city
Ok I just went to CGA on Sunday. My annual pass is through them this year cause I couldn’t get to Dorney before going since my mom planned this trip early this year.
Anyways I got a survey asking me about what rides I thought CGA was needed. It was weird. I’ve only had a Hershey and Six Flags pass before is this normal for Cedar Fair to ask?
Also I really hope CGA can be saved. It’s such a beautiful park. I adore their entry plaza and that carousel. The rides were great even if I couldn’t get on Turn of the Century (Demon) or Patriot (I’m going to call them by their original names as my mom visited in the early years and kept calling them by their old names). It was my favorite thing in the San Francisco area that I got to do only rivaled by Alcatraz at night. I couldn’t get to SFDK cause my sister wanted to go horseback riding in Napa and it ended up pouring anyways.
I could see DK being sold to United Parks (SeaWorld) before outright closing it
Buy or Sell: the re-track of Loch Ness Monster will make it the only custom Arrow Looper remaining in operation after 2031. Even cedar point will replace corkscrew with something more modern. Maybe that’s a separate BorS
Buy or Sell: Penguin Trek is a precursor to B&M attempting their blitz coaster.
Leaning towards buying this one. I wouldnt be surprised if they were just toying around with the idea
Buy or sell: SFNE gets a super boomerang in the Flashback and Goliath plots within the next 10 years
Buy or Sell: When CGA closes, Cedar Fair will only move Trailblazer to another park.
You mean Railblazer
He did a video on where the CGA coasters might go, and it seemed like Railblazer was the only one that would move due to how new and compact it was. Personally I think Flight Deck and Gold Striker get scrapped.
I was just at CGA. I got 2 rides on Rail Blazer. Great ride. However, I question if they’d keep it if the park shuts down and the rides are moved. It was having maintenance issues all day. Even before I first saw it go down they were not running it with full trains. They always ran it with at least one seat empty despite the line.
I know one of the maintenance issues on Sunday was a sensor issue. The restraint would lock but the system said it was unlocked. I’m not sure if both trains had this issue but I wouldn’t be surprised as after it went down the first time row 4 for one train and 3 on the other were always empty. Before the sensor issue it was row 8 that was empty for one of the trains and 3 for the other.
@@ninjagirl226 yeah, I had the same problem when I went there on opening day this year, so yeah, probably your right
@@colinmiller4946 I hope the coaster does manage to live longer. It was my favorite in the park. And it’s possible that maybe right now they are just having issues. But idk. I also generally hope the whole park can be saved. It was my favorite thing I did in California on that trip. It was only rivaled by Alcatraz.
I want something like Lightning Run in Vortex's plot at KI. There really isn't a good intermediate level coaster for people going from the smaller coasters to the bigger ones, besides Backlot, Bat, and Invertigo, and those are just alright.
I’ll sell you getting on flash at great adventure late July. I could see it opening for their Labor Day flash sale to drive sales for 2025.
Buy or Sell: Kentucky Kingdom's next new coaster will be a B&M mini drive in the plot of old T3, and opening within next 3-5 years.
Yeah I'd buy that
Buy or sell: Dollywoods next costed will either be a compact or a large over 200’ ride
I love this channel, still on the grind to get one of mine on here but one day
Buy or sell: Darien lakes next coaster will be a Vekoma tilt coaster coming in 2026
0:53 FØNIX I LOVE THAT ONE
Disney just announced the pandora expansion, so not a 3rd park!
I'm so glad you didn't say riddlers could be the B&M that gets the axe
Buy or sell: Kennywoods next coaster will be an inverted or suspended coaster (since they have never had any coaster where the train runs under the tracks before)
Buy or Sell: Cedar Point will expand the park to another plot of land or another island
Buy or sell: GCI Titan Track roller coasters will become a staple landmark in the theme park industry, outweighing the Gravity Group for GP popularity and marketability. This will include retracking for multiple coasters and ground up roller coasters such as Zambezi Zinger and the new one in the UAE.
I've been saying this for years, but Rougarou should be moved to Michigan's Adventure when Cedar Point is done with it. Have the back half run out over the lake, or put it behind Wolverine Wildcat and finally connect the two dead ends.
Too early for a call on skyrush, the retheme will bring people in once, will they stay is another question. I took my nephew on it who loves everything at Hershey, especially candy but didn't like skyrush previously for the restraints, and post ride gave me the thumbs down, so hard to say. Myself had zero issues with the old restraints, the new ones I don't like for how tight they feel. Felt stapled all 3 times I rode, wasnt very we'll say "male friendly", and the laterals of the ride felt gone, probably due to tbe seat design. I love the retheme, the ride felt like it was missing something. That said it's still a million times better than whatever they did to comet, holy moly
I’ve been out of the coaster world for a bit now.. SKYRUSH IS WHAT!?!?
Buy Or Sell: Valleyfair will get some of the rides from Californias Great America when they close. I dont think they will but it would be cool if Goldstriker got relocated there. This would be a good option because Valleyfair needs something new and it is probably cheaper to relocate then make a brand new ride.
Quick correction: Disney is doing badly in its film division with recent flops. The parks, however, are doing really well. I still don't think Anaheim gets a 3rd gate, but they expand Disneyland and DCA toward the West.
They also made 30 billion dollars last year year regardless.
Buy or sell: Mindbender (Galaxyland) will never get an extreme thrill replacement
Buy or Sell: If the Vekoma tilt coaster becomes successful, B&M will offer a version of the Dive coaster with the Tilt mechanism replacing the dive hold.
Buy or Sell: The UK becomes more prominent on the world stage for theme parks by the time that the Universal opens
Buy or Sell: Flight of Fear and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion will be placed in their own separate area similar to Area 72 at Kings Island, and Intimidator 305 will receive a retheme similar to Orion.
I already rode skyrush with the new restraints. The way better than it was. You don't get stapled to the seat And I actually got more airtime.
Buy or Sell: A new amusement park is built in the Pacific Northwest within the next 10 years
I can attest that SkyRush is smoother with the new restraints
But pacing is killed, first drop is about it, wildcat is better no doubt
@@sendyboi7028 Smoother but not as intense as ThighCrush was for sure
@@sendyboi7028 What does pacing have to do with the restraints...
Buy or Sell: Silver Dollar City replaces Thunderation with a Vekoma LIM Launched Coaster (Like Big Bear Mountain)
Buy or sell: A new park entrance will open in the Steampunk district at Six flags Magic Mountain and the old park entrance will be torn down or be used for a new hotel entrance.
Buy or Sell: "Project 305" becomes the permanent name of the former Intimidator 305, to fit with a sci-fi retheme of that area of the park (a la KI's Area 72).
I'm not entirely sure. I'll say buy, cause it seems that Flight of Fear is here to stay, and so would be Anaconda.
Buy Or Sell: Within the next 5 years, Pantheon gets an overhaul with a lot more theming in the queue, and structures that the ride goes through and around
Buy or Sell: Cedar Fair will continue with nostalgia names with new and RMCed coasters until the end of the decade.
This stems from Cedar Points Wild Mouse, and Worlds of Fun Zambezi Zinger. Rumored Kings Dominion Volcano, and Kings Island SOB, Vortex, and even King Cobra. Plus, any woodie that may be RMCed (if they work with them again). This may leak into the Six Flags parks as well. This may just be a fad that would die out by the end of the decade.
Buy or Sell: Flat rides become less and less popular and eventually become phased out of theme parks over the next 20 years.
I don't really see this happening. Flat rides are a staple at theme parks and they have a lot of them. Guests enjoy them and they are popular with the general public.
Buy or sell: a smaller park like KK or kennywood get an RMC wild moose in the next 3-5 years
A second Twin Mill Racers is slated to come to Kansas City, so the Hyper GTX is already (finally) taking off.
Did u see Kumba got a new sign? I think it's here to stay. I love it so I'm not complaining
Buy or Sell: Starfall Racers at Epic Universe will be a Top 15 Coaster when it opens
Buy or Sell: RMC and/or B&M expand on their catalogue after the success of their newer ride models like the FITH and Surf Coaster.
Spinball whizzer looks awesome and nutty
Buy or sell: The next major videogame franchise (excluding Donkey Kong) to get a themed land will be either Fallout or Halo
I would guess another Nintendo franchise at USO or IoA, either Pokemon or LOZ
@@TheRealPSKilla502 Pokemon is rumored to be replacing the USJ version of Spiderman. USJ's Spiderman closed in January. There are also very strong rumors suggesting Zelda is coming to IOA.
@@Shark_Builds_Bro What I've also heard is that Pokemon is replacing The Simpsons at Orlando since the rights contract is up in 4 years. The Pokemon Attraction is supposedly an expensive project so they may want to clone it if they can.
