coasterbill Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 This is ridiculous. The ride's safety features worked as intended. Why is this ne... (sees what park it is) ... you know what, actually yeah. Maybe for safety reasons they should shut this place down and replace it with a better park. You can never be too careful.

thrillrider Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 They're getting ready to air a story about this on ABC World News Tonight claiming that the coaster is stuck and people are dangling up in the air. Gotta love the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah... in an effort to not start a thing that spirals and makes any unnecessary work for Larry or Robb while he’s on vacation in Japan, I’ll just leave this alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackson Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It's sad that the media decided to report this of all the stories they could report about the park. A story about how people are getting their ears bashed in on Mind Eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 ^ For real. ABC covered it on the evening news and teased it before all 23 commercial breaks, talkin' bout "riders left dangling in mid air" while they show the shot of an empty train. barf. Its literally the most non-news 'roller coaster stuck' news article in the history of non-news 'roller coaster stuck' news articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VACoasterdude Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It was also on NBC Nightly News last night. Good timing for SFA as ACE's Coaster Con was occurring @ SFA yesterday with nearly 600 attendees at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedup Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Apocalypse was closed the day we were there recently. My daughter said, "We weren't going to ride that one anyway, were we?" Nope. We went straight to the back of the park and got two front row rides on ROS without getting out of our seats. Then we did a few more moving around the train without leaving the platform. I really enjoyed ROS, Joker's Jinx, and The Wild One. ROAR and Batwing, not so much. We were there about 2 hours and got multiples on everything we wanted to re-ride. We skipped ME based on reputation but thoroughly enjoyed Riddler's Revenge at SFNE. The knowledge gleaned from this forum is invaluable at making coaster/park decisions.

CoasterAuditor Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I just had a co-worker point out "another disaster at an amusement park" in regards to Superman getting stuck on the lift hill. The media is so useless sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 SFA is finally in the 4's on Google. Stayed in the 3's for years. Just thought I'd share. Found out while looking for park hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayj Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Is there a reason why six flags doesn’t do the summer concerts or Batman show anymore? I definitely think it will boost tickets sales. If they’re not going to add a new coaster to the dry side, then I think this a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Hey guys, I’m thinking of riding mind eraser next visit. I haven’t been on it in many years, and that was long before I was an enthusiast, so I’m thinking of seeing just how awful it is (though some people have said it’s tolerable if you ride it certain ways). What tips do you guys have so that my ride won’t be as awful as it needs to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What tips do you guys have so that my ride won’t be as awful as it needs to be? in my opinion, minderaser is more tolerable than apocalypse. At least it has a somewhat exciting layout. Even gp and locals hate apocalypse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Well . . . maybe someday SF Corporate will show SFA some love with more of a budget for better shows/concerts (I thought this year's stunt show wasn't as good as last year's stunt show). As for Apocalypse and ME . . . only way I'll do them is front row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rougarou Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 SFA is consistent. For the last 3 summers, the park has made national news with stories of horror. People being trapped on a rollercoaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Thanks for your responses! I actually don’t mind Apocalypse and enjoy a ride if there’s no line, as I can avoid most of the head banging by keeping my head forward. Anyway I visited the park today, it was slammed (especially the water park). Wahoo River is open! I’ll have some photos up later today probably. EDIT: I won't be able to get the report up until tomorrow, since I have to go to bed and I have work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was also a bomb threat in 2016. And a couple weeks ago, a 14 year old boy nearly drowned in the wave pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Apparently... It kind of looks bent in this picture but maybe that's just my eyes. I'm not going to armchair engineer this (even though Six Flags apparently did ). But that's certainly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 That is actually a really good picture of Apocalypse. Well . . . maybe someday SF Corporate will show SFA some love with more of a budget for better shows/concerts (I thought this year's stunt show wasn't as good as last year's stunt show). As for Apocalypse and ME . . . only way I'll do them is front row All of their shows are terrible - summer, Halloween, and Christmas! The worst is the black light show in the main theater during the summer. They could take a lesson from Cedar Fair, Dollywood, and Hershey for quality shows.

Highridin Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Not including this year, I like their shows. The blacklight show is not there this year. Most people love that one. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
