Amazing water slides
eskater132 replied to FLIPDUDE's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh, we had one of those at our home park up to not so long ago. an amusement aprk, not a water park. it asnt been oeprating in years, though. rumor says some kid died on it. on one hand I doubt thats true, ont he other, I dont see why else would it be closed all of a sudden if they had no intention of tearing it down? anmyhow, it has now been replaced with wo other slides, not nearly as steep and cool, but they should take the pressure off the rest of the slides, who usually have too lonmg aof a line. that slide is also at Hurricane Harbor here in Dallas, it is operating, too, my favorite ride in the park -

Just an opinion, I love the way the curve on the bottom of the drop catches your stomach Oh so it's the same as the other Intamin first generations? yes it is. the first one -

Hey Guys. Well since I am about to go visit the park tomorrow I thought I should update my old TR from a couple years ago. Not much has changed, but originally the pictures were not on the TPR server. Hope ya'll enjoy> Wonderful Entrance Plaza. Hope ya'll liked the pics POV SHOT ICE CREAM If you go right, you are first greeted by the Looney Tunes Some good funnel cakes. Arlington is the new Hollywood Attitudes ACME Rock-n-Rocket. It's fun. Wildcatter. Replaced by Tony Hawk's Big Spin. This was a fun ride. This stage was replaced by Tony Hawk's Big Spin. I liked the atmosphere it created. Welcome to Boomtown. Home of smells. GAMES GAMES GAMES Runaway Mine Train and Mini Mine Train First tubular steel roller coaster. There's an ACE landmark. It's true. Superman Tower Of Power. In case you get lost, we have these expensive signs. Blurred Perspective Shot Stone. Random. Caddo Lake Barge. Themed Zamperla flat. Yeah. It's allright. There was fire! and now... This is now long gone! Thank you Intamin! Ahh. Enjoy the park. And the ripoffs. Now on to the other side of the tracks! What's that? Go Karts? No? POV SHOT! Shockwave. Schwarzkopf. Lap bars. Heaven. Lots of vertical objects! Yay! Loops through the transfer track! Superman behind the pole...? Stupid camera ruins everything. Perfect shot other than the black dot. I'm a poet and you didn't know it.? This picture was taken right after EXTREME EJECTOR AIR! Lift hill with only one side of stairs! Scary? The first EVER back to back loops! meh. But I LOVE SHOCKWAVE! I want on! Oil Derrick is a work of art. This Alamo facade was removed a couple years after this photo was taken. I love Texas Giant! It's not rough, that's crazy talk! They bury people in Six Flags!? A cool place to take a picture. Now onto RODEO See. It's themed... The ride's OK. "I DON'T THOUND LIKE THYLVESTER!" You just saw my favorite section of the park: Old South. This section is similar to SFOG's old south themed area. This Section has an amazing feel to it. It has a great restaurant, Gator McGee's, the heaviest themed Six Flags ride, in my opinion, and a beautiful theatre. They left to do free labor! Ben and Jerry's with the waffle cones! YAY! The side of David Blackburn Southern Palace Theatre. Try to pay attention to the theming of this ride. The last few pictures were good examples. Six Flags really went all out on this ride, which I believe was then owned by Time Warner. The exit path Try to avoid the shack. It means you'll wait a while. I wish Six Flags would do theming like this today! Love that theming. Behind the waterfall looking at people behind me in line. Ha. Attention to detail gives this ride attention. Indoor queue station Some history. Superman Again. One of the Boy Scout Haunted Houses Fright Fest preparation and Diner. Now Johnny Rockets. Yeah. We may have the worst themed Gotham City. It's themed to games. Snowy's Cones. Would you rather have a launched coaster or an ice cream factory? Well. you get both! BATMAN Such a great ride. Entrance to Wayne Enterprises Track The Police Car Queue fly by. Better than station fly by? I really want to work there. Would this logo be considered vintage or old? Attention all guests: Zumiez Fans. But still. Good theming! WOO! DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA. DA BUUUUMMMMM! (Batman Theme) Batman and Mr. Freeze (SBNO) So curvacious! Track. Batwing Majestic Theatre Bench Majestic Theatre Wildcatter was fun. Judge Roy Scream. Smooth and not much else! The Lake (or Pond)? Anyway, it's nice. Ooh! I love Johnson Creek! Chaparral! A nice ride with woods. Hey! Cheap gas! I love Scramblers! Time to ride Titan! This ride is just great! So much force! Almost too much! Lift Pic! and camera screw up. Titan running at 2/3 capacity! Titan turnaround...aka...relief! El Sombrero, the ride that those kids threw up on in The Sandlot. The Six Flags Over Texas. Spain, France, Mexico, Republic Of Texas, Confederate States of America, and finally The United States of America. Hope ya'll enjoy my trip report!

I saw it too, I don't think it's real, but the general public will think it's real, I personally think it's just an actor Universal hired, and they put a whole production out...it's funny how that the first YouTube movie is deleted, because Universal made him get rid of his film.... so anyone have any idea if this is real?

Most forceful coaster you've been on.

Titan SFoT, but I've never thought that batman was intense (SFoT) i'll ride it again, i guess it's cause i'm used to the schwarzkopf loops on shockwave... -
I googled IntaRide and some site said it is the US Intamin manufacturer.
-
What is the deal, did Intamin change their name to intaride? I saw it on Maverick's website...

Allright, we took a quick 2 hour trip and we got on all the big coasters, plus Superman: Tower of Power, and Acme Looping Starship. Titan in the 3rd car has lots of airtime Texas Giant front seat still has that number 1 wooden coaster feel to it, we got AMAZING ejector airtime. Batman is an awesome B&M Acme Rocket is very hangtimetacular Superman: tower of power doesn't scare me like it used to. **edit: Sorry about the picture quality, I was moving during most of the pics and it's a cameraphone wow talk about budget cut awesome and notlikesilverbullet **cough** These hick bands were everywhere for the best of texas fest Texas Giant's Station oh and this guy's head more good wood Train and Good WOod (the) Texas Giant nice ending OOOH LOOK AT THAT HAPPY FAMILY FRIENDLY CREW operations are 67% OOOH cool angle that helix is what makes titan so much better than that goliath in CA i dont know why i took this pic ooh signature under track shot can you see it? I SAW SOME SNAKES FALL OUT OF THAT PLANE OOOH LOOK AT THAT DISNEY SCENERY! TITAN Station from outside a trainload of happy riders on this comfy train **CAR** on lift hill Lifthill entry plaza They appreciate our season passholders?

(I've only been to two) SFoT SFFT I picked SFoT because it is very clean, it has an awesome woodie , awesome Schwarzkopf . Also SFFT is nice, but it's very hot in the summer, one reason is because it's in a quarry, another is that they have this boardwalk section that is very hot, but SFoT has a good age to it, it IS the original park, also, Angus Wynne(founder) put all his effort into trying to make it like Disneyland. Another thing is that, because of it's age, it has a lot of trees and it was the park with a lot of milestones... Don't argue please, but Mine Train was the first tubular steel coaster, and it still runs fine, log flume, first backtoback looping(AWESOME Schwarzkopf) coaster, and the tallest S&S tower... Oh, and the operations are stellar, every ride op has a smile on their faces and the longest time I've ever waited in line was 1:30 for Titan on spring breakout. SFoT Visit count: 37
