BrandonR Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't see it happening, given they still haven't started tower construction (as far as I've heard). They can probably build the thing by opening but testing can take a while. And regardless, the park seems to prefer April-May openings, probably because they have something new to advertise for Labor Day weekend and the beginning of summer.

Sammy* Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Just seems like Six Flags is behind in construction on all there projects this year except iron rattler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I highly doubt it, but does anyone think TSS will be ready by opening day (March 2, 2013) or in April like NTAG was? SFFT didn't open Sky Screamer until Memorial Day weekend I believe so I wouldn't hold my breath for March or April. Hopefully it'll be up and running sooner than that but there are other larger projects that require more attention first. Just seems like Six Flags is behind in construction on all there projects this year except iron rattler Ehhhh...can't really say that considering none of us really know what Six Flags construction schedules are for all their projects. For all we know, they could be shooting for a Memorial Day weekend opening of TSS so if that be the case, they're probably right on schedule. It may "seem" that way but that could be what they're going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOverTexasFan Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm sure TSS will be open before memorial day. After all the park goes full schedule on like the 15th, or 16th of May and I'm sure it would be ready by that time. I'm gonna guess it opens in April, just like NTAG did.

acq10uaz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm betting 100% that it will open Memorial Day weekend. According to Funtime's website, the 400 ft. towers only take three weeks to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Funtime's website, the 400 ft. towers only take three weeks to build. And according to Six Flags, one week is an extra month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webgoof Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 From the SFOT Facebook page: Are you looking to get married on Valentine’s Day? Do you want to do something memorable that you can share with your friends and family for years to come? We’re looking for six couples that are wanting to either get married or renew their vows in a unique way on Thursday, February 14. If you’re interested email us a photo and some info on you and your spouse or spouse-to-be at sfotpr@sixflags.com. I'm guessing that it's a married-on-a-ride concept, but makes me wonder which ride... How many riders will TSS hold at a time again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes 3 weeks to build the tower, and more than one to add the finishing touches and test. I think it's safe to say it WON'T be in this ride. The only rides I can think of that seat around 12 are aqua man (too cold anyways, that's out) S:TOP, and Runaway Mountain. But again, who says this is on a coaster. They could do it anywhere. Hey, Man + Wife + Priest/Pastor/Mimister/Rabii = one awesome wedding ceremony on Dive Bomber Alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have an Honest Question to ask! Does the removal of Flashback destroy Texas! WHAT? How does the removal of a crappy, old roller coaster "destroy" a state? Can you phrase your questions any clearer? Most of what you write and ask does not make any sense.

simaticable Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have an Honest Question to ask! Does the removal of Flashback destroy Texas! Lat me answer the question by asking you a question. Why would you think the removal of one ride would destroy a state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ^ At this point, it's better to ignore than to argue. Before we know it, he's going to ask if the removal of Psyclone at SFMM destroyed California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyfreak92 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Sorry I asked this kind of question, I really didn't mean to! But no I'm not going to ask another question about a removed ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have an Honest Question to ask! Does the removal of Flashback destroy Texas! Does the removal of Deja Vu destroy California? Now I get what you mean. But ever since Geauga Lake closed into a water park, did that destroy Ohio? Why do you keep asking questions like this? Questions that make no sense and make many of us question your thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValleyfairFan Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Drove by the park the other day on the way to work and saw that they were actively working on ground work in the old Chute Out and Flashback site (a variety of construction equipment and a construction trailer is parked in the strip mall parking lot adjacent to the Bumper Cars). There was some dirt churned up next to the strip mall parking lot as well, but that could simply be due to moving construction equipment around and the such.

acq10uaz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Baynum posted some pictures of some of the slides at HH getting painted. Thought I would post them here: Not much of a Blue Raider anymore. Same can be said for Blue Niagara. Here's a link to more pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonR Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The park sent out an email update about Texas Skyscreamer. Some interesting stats/technical details in there too. Sounds like vertical progress will start in early Spring so a Memorial Day opening isn't outside the realms of possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFOverTexasFan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah I just read that email, 70 feet of support underground wow! Crazy. Lol so in total the ride will be 470 feet long, 70 underground, and 400 feet above ground! GO BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Big changes are coming to the largest water park in North Texas! The 2013 season at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor will be even Bigger, Better and Wetter with the debut of two thrilling new slides – Typhoon Twister and Tsunami Surge. Scheduled to open in early summer, these two new epic rides will beckon guests of all ages to take the ultimate plunge. On Typhoon Twister, guests board slides built for two for an adrenaline-packed ride down a tunnel and into a bowl-shaped slide. After spinning around multiple times in the belly of the slide, riders are thrust through a corkscrew exit into a refreshing splash pool. Tsunami Surge sends couples twisting and turning down a 68-foot enclosed tunnel while they build up speed to take on a 40-foot wave slide on the other side. Guests experience zero-gravity as they surge to the top of the slide before gliding down to the landing pool. Typhoon Twister and Tsunami Surge are built by PROSLIDE Technology, Inc. To celebrate the announcement of the park’s two new rides, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is hosting a Polar Plunge Wedding on Thursday, February 14 at 11:00 a.m. Four couples are taking the ceremonial “plunge” before taking the ultimate plunge into the park’s wave pool. Two of the couples will get married, while the other two will renew their vows. After the ceremony and polar plunge, a reception, complete with a first dance, cake cutting, and a bouquet and garter toss will take place. Six Flags Hurricane Harbor opens for the 2013 season on May 11, 2013. http://content.sixflags.com/newfor2013/overtexas/typhoon-twister-tsunami-surge/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
