This is a rumor I recently heard but I thought I would share it to get the discussion on it going.

I heard that Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure is going to be move as part of the ride rotation program that Six Flags has had for years so the park could build a B&M Wing-Rider coaster.

No mention of where Medusa/Bizarro would go though. Nor when this might happen.

If it becomes real, however, I would be ok with it. Though I would like it if we could keep Bizarro in a different area of the park though. We shall see what happens in the future.

I'm ok with this. It could potentially put a wingrider much closer to home for me.

I had been to Great Adventure and they really need a NEW coaster. Replacing THE GREAT AMERICAN SCREAM MACHINE was a terrible idea. People used to call me crazy for liking Arrows, now they call me crazy for sympathizing with Six Flags for moving Chang. I wanted to start a rally to save it. I am not local but seeing ShockWave ripped out was sad and it's clones destruction really hit home. Oh well. No back on topic, Medusa/Bizzaro was the first ever floorless coaster and was the star of the parks war on lines campaign. It would be sad to see it go but hey. I could dig a wing-rider. I would rather Bizarro though. Now one question. Where did you hear this?
YES!

I'm not a big fan of the ride rotation program, and SFGA will really look different without Bizarro but a Wing Walker would look really nice there.

If I could have it my way then the Wing-Rider would be placed back by Nitro where the Congo Rapids is/was. Does that thing even run anymore?
YES!

My home park! While this was loading, i was like,"Please be SFGA Please be SFGA please be SFGA!" Im so happy! If this is true, I will finally get a wingrider that is reasonably close! But I would miss Bizzarro. The effects were awesome. Anyway, it's kinda odd that the retheming has only been in effect for 2 or 3 years and they are saying this. I say, get rid of one of the older rides... probably Superman, a really mild ride,(the only fun part is the pretzel loop) or Batman, which is really getting old. I guess we will have to wait and see this unfold...

Also, Im tired of SFGA getting B&M after B&M after B&M! I know they already have 2 intamins, (REALLY AWESOME ONES) but this park would be more comeplete with another intamin. [;)]

Not happening Oinz, Six Flags would rather move it to another park of theirs than their biggest competetor.

Despite it's unlikeliness I could see them getting ready of Green Lantern because there were numerous complaints about it and their last stand up coaster was removed after only 2 seasons.
YES!

And that was how long ago? That coaster was also in ride rotation, which is why it's visit was so short.

I know but if we are bringing back a ride rotation program then why not this stand up? Especially because people are knocking it. Also that was '92-'94. Granted also that Green Lantern is a far greater coaster and therefore harder to move.
YES!

I'm going to go ahead and guess if Bizarro moves it goes to either SFOG or SFOT.

A member on another forum I'm part of said he heard from an employee[a higher up one] that its false and bizarro isn't going anywhere.

Also while working this past year for fright fest, i got it confirmed that the 2013 attraction is basically already planned and all i can get out of the person was 'its cool' and that they couldn't say anymore. I know its a vague statement but thats just what they told me hahaha.

I am sure the 2013, 14, 15, and maybe even 2016 additions are already well thought out by now. Most parks plan thing years in advance although things can change quickly.

Well sure they aren't going to say that it's leaving because they aren't supposed to. Personally I would be said to see it leave, but if it does go I would be fine with a WR in its place.

If they could add a Wing Rider without destroying anything than GAdv would basically be a huge B&M shocwcase.
YES!

I have a friend who's kind of a B&M fanboy, and my guess is that if SFGAdv gets a wingrider without destroying anything, he would have a major boner and probably jizz his pants. So, for the sake of his pants, I hope that doesn't happen.

SFOG needs more flat rides.

SFSTL could use another good coaster. It has a good lineup as is though, but that terrain in the back needs to be utilized pronto! Dial up Intamin please!
