Yep, thats right, SFMM might soon be getting a B&M. Mostly are sure it's a flying but the park hasn't verified yet what it really is. The yellow and red roller coaster will be located by the slopes of Samurai Summit going thru hills, near-tree hits, and there's a rumor it will be up to 170 feet tall. The coaster type is unkown, but A flying is the only type that seems a smart choice.

It has been confirmed its a Flyer. And this all makes sense too.

They have all models of B&M except the Dive Machine and Sit-down. They just added a floorless which pretty much counts as a sit-down, and they have a Hyper, which was built by Giovanolla, which was just baught out by B&M. So that is why its going to be a Flyer. You might think "Wait, what about a Dive Machine". Well, When BGT got Sheikra, they signed a contract with B&M stating that B&M cannot build a Dive machine in the USA for years to come, I belive its 5 years, not positive though.

It's a flyer.

Yet another coaster this spoiled park doesn't need.

Anyhow it might not be a flyer,but instead a looper....look at how the track is stored with the rail side up,now compare track for let's say Batwing(a vekoma flyer)or patriot(an invert) & you'll notice most track sections are sitting rail side down when it's brought on site prior to construction.

They have to be placed like that because it's station pieces.

Don't argue, its a flyer. And why would they get a looper if they have Scream. I don't think so.

I forgot that it'd have to be stored rail side up if it's for the station because of the braking components,also you might be able to see the bars on the side that are used to "tilt" the train into flying position after loading is complete.

^Based on the construction photos so far, it appears to be a terrain flyer.

Yeah it's not a clone they don't have space to clone Superman in that park.

And While Six Flags INC. is in Debt each park has there own funds and are not in debt. Its the company, not the parks. Hard to understand and dosn't make sence I know but thats how it is. In other words, SFI debt dosnt really affect the park's. It's the parks own income that effects it.
