montezooma Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just came across this and thought it a funny find. Back in the Time Warner days. AstroWorld was still a part of the Six Flags family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That's a great find and their marketing is quite interesting. Do you know what year this was from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 ^^ that was strange marketing. I wonder who they considered #1 at that time. I would assume Disney but not sure of the time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Those flyers are from the early-mid 90s. Obviously Disneyland is considered number 1. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montezooma Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 SIX FLAGS FIESTA TEXAS 10 YEAR PLAN (10 years ago) I guess it was more like 15 years ago, but at that time I was working with Six Flags. I was in charge of putting together a 10 year plan for the park which included an large new looping steel coaster, a watepark expansion, new children’s area, an Intamin Drop Tower and a giant racing, dueling wooden coaster. Not much ever came of the plan other than these cool renderings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wow! The Boardwalk dueling woodie would have been amazing. Goes to show how much land they can actually use for expansion. Around the Ghostblasters building, past ops base, and back towards the employee parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGsatMCO Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 From the details that are in the map I say this is a 98 creation and your influence was greater than you are appreciating. You say nothing ever came of it, but the Kiddie ride package was installed in 99 with many of the rides in your drawings, but just in many locations around the park. Scream started out as a single drop tower and turned into an S&S combo. Superman is near the current spot for your looping coaster. The water park expansion happened too! Finally the Boardwalk wooden coaster was on and off for a while. Once AW was closed the rumors kicked into high gear with Cyclone trains and ride entrance showing up and markings in the Boardwalk area. So give yourself some credit a lot of this happened in a way!

Mrlittle Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 That's awesome to see. Hmm, now my mind is thinking of what ifs. It was probably because of your idea to build a looping coaster off the wall in that area that would factor in to eventually going with Superman. So Thank you for that. Goes to show how much land they can actually use for expansion. Around the Ghostblasters building, past ops base, and back towards the employee parking lot. Maybe enough land to build a hypercoaster.That would really round out the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richtrav Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Wow, very neat. That looks like a rendering of the rumored Gionavola hyper coaster that ended up going to SFFT instead. For some reason it was scrapped (Steel Eel?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericthewanderer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Looking at those old Six Flags flyers from the 70's made me wonder: Who the hell are those colorful fur ball monsters!? From my understanding Magic Mountain's original mascots were a wizard and his pet trolls;the wizard was a Merlin-looking guy and the trolls were these "furball" characters.I wish that parks like that had kept more of their uniqueness!

I was actually talking about the ones at SFSTL. EDIT: It reminded me of the ones at SFSTL. Sorry I didn't add very much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
