I'm going to SFFT for my first time Sunday. Super glad I'm going to get to ride Batman...I'm a Six Flags over Georgia gold level member, so it should work for the season pass preview hopefully. One question...The weather in Texas has been crappy this week with tornadoes and floods and whatnot...How is the Six Flags parks in Texas when it comes to weather? I've been to some parks if the wind accidently blows a flag (Cedar Point) they'll shut down rides like crazy, as where parks like Kings Island will run their rides in a lightning storm. Just curious how Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas is about weather and shutting rides down. Thanks.
Not sure about heavy rain but light rain won't shut rides down at SFFT.
I just rode IRat and SKC in light rain on Sunday
I have seen rides shut down due to high wind though.

After watching some of the test runs this weekend, it looks like each side might offer a different experience each time you ride. It looks like some of the fins that help you spin are longer and shorter on some sides. I'd be interested to see which if any side is better and spins more.
Yup! I noticed that this weekend as well.
Some are in different spots along the track too.
Can't wait!
-
Are those dummies even filled?
I saw testing with no dummies and the spinning was pretty much the same.
-
Track is almost done!
-
Nice!
I just went to the park on Sunday and they're moving fast.
It also looks much bigger in person!
-
Other than small county fairs I would say SFMM.
I wouldn't say it's terribly bad, but it's not good either.
It's just meh.
-
^Hmm, they must've removed it last summer then. Sorry for the old news!
Not so sure.
It was slowing down at the top when I went during Fright Fest and HIP.
I was also there today and got caught off guard when it hurled us down the drop!
Makes me wish they just run it like that all the time.
-
Perphaps they're launching it faster for testing or the cold but it hauled through that immelman!
-
Wow. I don't even know what to say.
This is almost insulting.

One time while working at SFDK.
Park was getting ready to open and morning test runs we're happening.
A maintenence worker working on Pandemonium (Then Tony Hawk's Big Spin) forgot his sweater on the track and we failed to notice.
When the first car ran the cycle it got caught on the sweater and the car stalled/valleyed.
It was definitely a WTF moment.
-
I forgot one thing...looks like the swing ride "Whirligig" was moved and there is a new flat in its place. Anyone know more about these 2 rides? Where this came from and where Whirligig will go? I forgot to ask.
I could be wrong but isn't that what a waveswinger (Whirligig) looks like while in rehab?
SFFT covers it in a tarp I'm assuming.
Awesome photo's btw! Thanks for sharing.

I thought Scream was always ignored.
This thread loves it so much!
-
I read years ago that B&M found a solution to reduce the stress on the chain/rollback once the train disengages.
Thus eliminating pre-drops.
-
I've actually passed by this little park a few times.
Never thought they would be getting something like this!
Awesome addition!
-
...looking at a cell phone or radio tower reminds you of a drop tower.
I'm guilty of this!
Or when there's 2 of them side by side, I imagine a huge slingshot.
Then I start to picture a whole park around it, and how nice it would be to actually have a park there.

^The protoype being installed isn't one of those models. Sounds like it's custom by the stats.
Speed: 38 MPH = 61.1551 KPH
Length: 1,265 ft. = 385.572 M

^It pretty much looks like a different version of a Tornado slide by ProSlide.
-
^Poltergeist has a faster launch
-
Is Poltergiest running?
or did they shut it down until SFAmerica can figure out what's going on w/ Joker's Jinx?
According to a few people at the park it's been temporarily shut down.
-
^That wood on the first turnaround looks new.
Was that there before?
-
I'm not getting my hopes up, but the more I think about it the more accepting I am if this turns out to be a Free Spin.
It's totally unique, and I just think about how terrifying and awesome it would be.
-
I wouldn't mind seeing a wing coaster themed to Batman and Rockville re-themed to Gotham City.
A coaster like that would be really unique to this area!
-
So far Demon at CGA has the loudest of any I've been on.
The tunnel after the station is to blame.

New tweet this morning.
Are you ready to challenge an EPIC beast... The Iron Rattler? #SFFT2015

I'm trying not to get my hopes up high since there's still no gameplay footage, but I'm excited!
