*looks at http://www.bolliger-mabillard.com, looks at the tab "products"... FACEPALM!* On the KICentral boards, I, as have others, have been using wingrider in place of wing coasters when talking about B & M! Thank you for clarifying that for me!

In that case, I hope Cedar Fair doesn't mass-produce wing coasters like they did with B & M megas, or what Paramount did with their various rides--how many Drop Zones, Top Guns, Tomb Raiders, Italian Jobs, among others did we have? :roll:

^I have a feeling Six Flags will be mass-producing them....after all, that's what they do best!!!

Especially boring ones! The Supermen are all Boring & Mediocre.

Seriously, though, the trio of Supermen were over-produced and aren't very good models. Don't worry B & M, I still love you!

Even though their layouts may not be "inspiring" to some, they were one of the first models/layouts (I hear they are MUCH better than AIR at Alton Towers). I would also like to say that compared to the Zamperla Volaire models (Tomb Raider/Time Warp at Wonderland), they are an amazing coaster.

The pretzel loop is an amazingly forceful element and the rest of the ride is very graceful. Some enthusiasts may find the Superman models "boring" however the GP LOVES them.

And with the locations of the 3 Superman clones, I wouldn't say they are over-produced. They're well spread-out in very different markets. It's not like boomerang coasters that are all within a couple hour drive of each other (in many circumstances).

I have a feeling we'll see a new B&M Wing Coaster before a Flyer at Canada's Wonderland

So I have been thinking and I am sure many of you are going to disagree with this but I don't think we will be seeing a Wing Rider as our next coaster. I just don't see Cedar Fair wanting to take the thunder away from Gate Keeper so soon (assuming we are getting a coaster in the next 2-3 years ).

My new idea......let's get Rocky Mountain coasters to build us one of those new fangled wooden coasters that has an inversion or 2 in the layout and let's put it...oh I don't know....in the White Water Canyon/TimberWolf Falls area. And no one can say that the GP would say it's the same as Minebuster and/or Wild Beast.
