 Where will the first Axis coaster be going and when will it open? This has been a big topic of discussion ever since this innovative new roller coaster model by SNS was unveiled last year, and I am going to discuss my thoughts about possible parks it will end up at and how soon we could see this model opening. I will say right away that I believe the first Axis coaster will open at a Six Flags park. It is no secret that Six Flags loves to invest in these fleshy types of prototype coaster models and clone them at several of their parks for a pretty modest price. In fact, they've done precisely this with another concept by SNS as well, that of course being the 4D free spin. Given all of that information I just laid out, what Six Flags parks would make the most sense to test out the very first Axis coaster? The parks that I immediately think of are Six Flags Great America in Gurney Illinois and Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas. I will tell you why. Six Flags Great America. What has this park historically been known for? Innovation. Great America received the one and only Intamin Space Diver Z-Force in 1985, BNM's first ever coaster, the revolutionary stand-up known as Iron Wolf in 1990, the very first BNM inverted coaster in Batman the Ride for the 1992 season, and one of the very first BNM hypers along with Apollo's chariot in 1999, opening mere weeks after the latter. Great America kept this tradition of innovation alive in 2019 by opening the first of SNS's new generation air-compressed launch coasters in the US, so far the only one in the country, and this is known as Max Force. So Great America has this history of many prototypes and firsts for the chain, along with a very solid relationship with SNS in recent years. I think there is a very high chance that Six Flags Great America could be the first park we see one of these new access coasters at. However, if it is not Great America, I believe Six Flags Fiesta Texas could be the first park to receive the access model. Fiesta Texas in recent years has also been a park to receive models that are first of their kind, or at least first for the chain. 2015 saw the addition of the first ever SNS 4D free spin, which I touched on earlier. This installation is known as Batman the Ride, and six clones of this free spin would open in the Six Flags chain over the next four seasons. That's pretty impressive. This once again really helps to demonstrate that strong relationship that Six Flags has with SNS. In 2018, Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster, the first ever RMC Raptor, would open at Fiesta Texas as well. And now a custom Raptor is being built for Six Flags Great Adventure with Jersey Devil for 2021, and Six Flags Magic Mountain is all but confirmed to get one of these larger RMC Raptors as well. Once again, I feel as though the strong relationship between Six Flags and SNS, as well as the recent testing of prototype models at Fiesta Texas, just speaks for itself. It would not surprise me at all to see the first access coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas or Six Flags Great America. When will the first one debut though? I'm predicting 2022. The current situation obviously screwed up the 2020 plans big time, and Six Flags is delaying most new for 2020 attractions to 2021. So I think 2022 will be the year for the first access coaster. The reason I say this is because SNS has strongly hinted at one coming soon, stating that many parks are interested in the model, and that someone would be purchasing it very soon, if they hadn't already. What do you think? What park will get the first access coaster, and when will it open? I know Cedar Fair probably wouldn't be too far of a stretch to invest in one of these either, seeing as King's Dominion will be getting a 40 free spin very soon, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
