Chang Update #8

From Screamscape:

"2011 - Chang / B&M Stand-Up Coaster - Rumor - (3/26/10) Okay… lets go back and look at that Six Flags Great America news video I posted one more time. I missed it the first time through, but an eagle-eyed reader noticed somevery very family off to the side of the video at the 1:05 mark. Check out this screen capture (cropped and zoomed in for your benefit) and notice anything familiar about that black/yellow/red thing on the left side of the screen. Okay… now take a look at this picture at RCDB. Yep… it looks like we’ve found the first proof that one of Chang’s trains are now on site at SFGAm."

Ummm... HA! TAKE THAT KENTUCKY STATE FAIR!

Anyway, some people speculate...

* That they will use this train on Iron Wolf, and Chang will be a floorless coaster replacing Space Shuttle America (which was demolished last December and was SBNO since 2007).

OR...

* That Chang is temporarily being stored in Great America and will relocate to another Six Flags park for 2011 (kinda like AstroWorld's Vekoma SLC which was stored in Great Escape in New York state after AstroWorld's closure in 2005, and is going up in La Ronde in Montréal for 2010).

My thoughts: If they will convert Chang to a floorless and send it to SFGAm for 2011, then so be it. But if they leave Chang a stand-up, then just send it to another park!

Just my $0.02. =)
