Unfortunately (or is it fortunately) the City of DC has no say over anything that happens outside of its city limits, which SFA is by like eight and a half miles. -

I don't think CF is big into the idea of relocating rides anyway. If SFSTL gets a another coaster it will definitely be something new, just not extravagant like a hyper or giga. -

There are talks that the city of DC want to keep Six Flags America a theme park which might lead to no rides being removed from that city park -

Yesterday was my first visit to the park. Ride of Steel is great. Bookended my day by riding back, then front. Weird seeing Batman and Wonder Woman merch in its gift shop with no S-shield in sight. Rode Predator front row and the retracked sections are bizarrely smooth. Boomerang crew didn't realize a couple restraints didn't unlock and left the riders there for a couple minutes. Saw Mind Eraser test, but don't know if it ever opened or not. The park has an interesting layout and an identity crisis. Be interesting to see how the merged company takes it going forward. Also, the slice of pizza I got next to Predator was better than I thought it would be. Cost was still outrageous, though. It was also my first time using my Valleyfair branded pass at a Six Flags branded park. -

I did go! We leave tomorrow morning. Best vacation I’ve ever had. I legitimately couldn’t believe TT2 and Steel V are actual rides. I’m not scared of big boy rides but man both those rides had me nervous each time I went on. I might write a trip report if anyone cares to see it! -
Every Park needs a Drop Tower. But anything is better than an empty concrete pad. -
SFTL could use Flying Scooters would work in the Excalibur slot too. Or an Air Race. But CGA's Flying Scooters will soon be available. Please don't make them un-snappable though. -

Firebird is a solid coaster and would make a fine addition to the park. -
Agree 100%, don't cheap out SFSTL!!! All the main Valley's need Titan Track. Gut feeling tells me we will receive a coaster from SFA, probably Firebird. Also, I hope they install a Drop Tower where Excalibur stood.

Did you make the trip to cedar point or did you get grounded and the internet taken away? -
Looking more and more likely that I will be missing out on Maxx Force 😕 Out of all the parks on this trip, Great America would probably be the easiest to get back to since it's in a major city with cheap flights. So if it's still closed next week I guess I'll have a reason to go back! -

I agree that they have definitely put some time, effort and money into the park; as previously discussed just not so much on the ride front but on infrastructure. Not sexy but necessary and would lead you to believe there are plans to keep the park profitable and working well for the future. I don't think an RMC conversion of the Boss is likely now since they put the money into doing the titan track section, hopefully they add to that. IF we do get a major new attraction I think a small footprint coaster is much more likely. As I said I don't think they made the SDC/SFSTL Coaster Con pick because they know something new will be coming BUT if the park had plans they might be more motivated to have it ready to go by then. Clearly all speculation, maybe nothing will happen, time will tell. P.S. - There is an ACE event on Sept 6 and a group ride on the carousel is in the printed itinerary. While those schedules are never concrete it does indicate the park has a fair amount of confidence that it will be operational by then. P.P.S - Shell bought out the company that originally put in the EV chargers so they are no longer free. Still totally worth it for those traveling from further away that need to charge while in the park. Locals no more free juice but you really didn't need it anyway, lol. -

I really don't understand how we got to a point as a country that teens and such feel its fun to go cause disruption, panic and fight and more so why its giant space like theme parks. I know most parks have to deal with it. Good to see this ride getting good reviews.
