RUMOR: Screamscape says 2018 will be BIG

Rumor - (4/5/17) With Boomerang ready to go away forever very soon, the coaster fans out there have been wondering about what is next for Knott's. After all, you don't usually remove one of your park's major coasters without having something new to replace it at least in the design phase. From what we are hearing, Knott's does have something in the works, though they still need to dot the I's and cross the T's on it, but whatever it is, I'm hearing is it BIG and likely looking to open sometime in 2018 if possible because Knott's want this thing up, open and to have a serious reputation already in the public knowledgebase in time for Star Wars Land to open at Disneyland in 2019, so they can borrow all those incoming Disney guests for a day at The Farm.

Knotts News: Well friends, what to make of this? No real info here, just hype. Is 2018's new attraction BIG in size, like a rollercoaster or BIG in scope, like a dark ride. Maybe its BIG in it's significance to fans, like the return of a classic attraction. He honestly couldn't be anymore vague. With Matt Ouimet reiterating that they will NOT be competing with Universal or Disney, and that micro-investments has been extremely successful for them at Knott's, one must wonder what BIG can mean for 2018.

Anyone who follows this blog knows what I'm pulling for. The land isn't really big enough for any kind of coaster, especially a BIG one, without it traveling all over the park destroying it's atmosphere. On the other hand, its plenty of space for a dark ride...
