The real winner is Six Flags Great Adventure. They got the coaster SFMM should have gotten. Not a lame family coaster.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
With Great America, it seems like a cool coaster; but it just feels more..shall we say, "oh look, a prototype to something that can be fleshed out further".
This, looks like them looking to what worked and didn't for Twisted in a layout, and to make it as something completely with steel.
Plus Great America’s coaster is only half a coaster

I was at someone's house for some event, and sneaked off to the bathroom just to watch the announcement. That's how anxious I was for the announcement. Haha
But as for the ride itself....I like it! Probably not going to be a "book flights to LA now" top 10 coaster, but it looks like a solid addition for SFMM. It strikes me as diet Maverick with some Twisted Colossus mixed in. I went into this announcement hoping for the best but expecting the worst, and I'm not disappointed. I feel like it's slightly overhyped, but whatever. I ended up complaining about FT when it was announced and ended up loving that ride despite it not making my top 10 list. Fun looking ride, descent theming for SF standards, and *gasp* THERE ARE ACTUALLY TREES IN THE CONCEPT. Let's see if they stick to it.
A few qualms though: First off, VEST RESTRAINTS!? Ewwwwwww. Second, it's a little short. I would've preferred a single track with longer ride. SFMM never seems to learn from their past failures with dueling rides.
I love all of the whining and complaining from the SFMM fanboys. They're like Star Wars fans. They complain about everything if they don't get what they want. I'll enjoy this while they don't understand you don't need a 200ft.+ coaster to make a great ride. IDK about you guys, but this looks more promising than Maxx Force. Nothing really strikes me with that concept.
Can't wait for West Coast Racers next year! Thank God it's not a family coaster. THAT was a scare.
Just like how I'm labeled a Cedar Point fanboy just because I prefer that park more than SFMM?I know you're throwing shade at me dude, but I don't think it's really necessary.
Just because some people are disappointed, including myself, doesn't make us fanboys.
I'm sure the park will increase their attendance and revenue with this addition, which is all that really matters.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that. It looked like the same station. That makes it even better then.Maybe they'll actually stay dueling!It actually is a single track. It's mobius like TC.

If you're disappointed, that's fine. But to be fair, you have thrown quite a bit of shade as well.
THIS. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was "eh" on Maxx Force. That launch will be cool, but that's it. It looks underwhelming.Considering I was half expecting a Vekoma family ride, I'm pretty happy with this. But I can see how other people might be underwelmed. It doesn't reach up and smack you with immediate greatness like Steel Vengeance. This will be more of a...for lack of a better term...a grower.
Not immediately impressive, but I suspect as the coaster goes up, it will look more exciting.
I'm not the biggest Premier Rides fan, but I'm a sucker for a Morbius. As for Maxx Force, it looks great...until you realize they forgot the second half and stiffed Great America fans on airtime
My apologies. After today's announcement, I understand why you prefer Cedar Point.
SFMM has been reduced to adding gimmicky rides like this for the foreseeable future. World's First Quadruple launch coaster? Lol
Six Flags cracked the code on how to get a good ROI without spending Tatsu money.

I totally think SFMM got the better bargain. We'll be getting a MUCH longer ride and some great hang and airtime with a couple hairpin turns and heartline rolls.
Yup. Honestly, I see Knott's adding a giga or even a descent hyper before SFMM does. I would bet money Superman will be turned into a full circuit launch coaster before they build a Giga. Think about it. It would be the perfect Six Flags storm. They can get S&S, save money by reusing the structure, and bill it as the world's tallest coaster by adding to the existing structure. It could be the first 500ft. coaster.My apologies. After today's announcement, I understand why you prefer Cedar Point.

If you were in marketing and had to choose between that or the Giga, what would you go for?
