You may put this in the wish list thread but I feel the 50th is coming quicker than we think. I'm calling it now.

FIRST IN FLIGHT - A B&M Winged Coaster

That is all I'm bored tonight hH

Wing coaster is definitely a possibility. I think that a coaster is coming on the 50th anniversary (2023) because the park got a ride in 2010 (Intimidator) and a ride in 2015 (Fury). It would make sense for the next ride to be in 2020 but instead we are getting it in 2019. I feel like this is a year early because we will get another ride in about 5 years. It is still really far out though and probably isn't worth speculating yet.

I honestly would not be surprised if our next coaster comes sooner than 2023.

The way I see it:

2020: New Carolina Harbor attraction(s) (Mat Racer and/or raft slide)
2021: Large new flat
2022: Floortex
2023: New coaster in Dinosaurs Alive

That would be another four year gap between coasters, but like gabed said, I could honestly see it come by 2022 or even 2021.

A coaster will take over the dinos area long before 2023. No way that attraction is sticking around another 5 years.

If indeed we get a coaster for the 50th I'd expect it to be somewhere else.

My honest opinion would be to just remove hurler and not convert it. By removing it that opens up so much space.
