Thoughts?
Well, I did include several rumored options, so which one is closest?I've heard the coaster rumor, not exactly what Alicia said here, but where there is smoke there is fire.
Thoughts?
I think the original design of the Italian Job coasters at the Paramount Parks were also supposed to have a drift feature, but I want to say it proved to be too problematic in operation. Maybe Intamin has figured out something Premier couldn't?

Maybe, but as they say, only time will tell. I wonder if Bourne goes to the upper lot as you were saying, will they have to demo both SES and AA to make way for a new custom venue for it? after looking at videos for it at Orlando the venue looks bigger than SES at Hollywood.I'm thrilled to hear that rumors are gaining steam of not only USH getting a proper thrill coaster, but a proper F&F ride. Finally. I've got several takeaways after being able to watch Alicia's video (BTW, great work on the videos as always!)
I have said in the SES thread that I think the AA/SES location would be the best place to put a coaster, barring the park would be lacking show venues. But if Bourne is indeed showing up, then it would be best placed at SES and Mummy would be the best placement. It will suck for the park to not be able to have anything else besides Hippogriff for several years for a coaster, but I think the Mummy would be the most ideal location for this ride if Bourne is coming. When I was leaving the Mummy a few weeks ago, I overheard a random guest go "Man, this s*** was whack! That IncrediCoaster ride at California Adventures is hella faster!" I think that person's sentiment reflects everyone else's thoughts on the Mummy. This ride would be a good replacement for it.
Also, since this is likely going where Mummy is, it's going to feel pretty out-of-place in a jumbled lot. While I doubt this is the approach they will take on this, it would be great if they based the ride on Tokyo Drift. They could put the entrance where the ice cream shop and Starbucks are and they can make a Tokyo miniland while JW would already be sectioned off for its own miniland. They could then tie Transformers into it somehow and it would be even better with the SNW entrance right there. It would help the lower lot feel less incoherent.
But this sounds like a dope coaster. I say bring it! With the construction on this alleged new tram attraction right across from where Supercharged is, I wonder if they're planning for the future by getting rid of Supdercharged for this?
Yep, I said it in another thread but for both size restrictions, and that the foundations are falling apart for the SES and AA buildingsMaybe, but as they say, only time will tell.

Yup that’s correct. Foundation for the tram plaza is going through the same thing so something will have to be done there sooner or later.Yep, I said it in another thread but for both size restrictions, and that the foundations are falling apart for the SES and AA buildings
