As of yesterday, Friday June 19, 2010, Larry Litton, the park president has been released from SFNE. An interim president is now in place and is rumored have worked in management when the park was Riverside. JDo217: 1. If theirs lightening within 30 miles they shut everything down. 2. Crowds shouldn't be bad at all. 3. Yeah the parks generally safe, other than the basketballs that people bounce around haha. Their is some line cutting which for some reason seems to be getting worse. They used to have security posted on life guard chairs in the queues.

I have to agree with coasterprince here. The person who started this rumor about the Giga, is the one who first leaked info about Kingda Ka, THEN El Toro. So he definitely knows something. Plus whoever said that flats can't be included? It is the 50th anniversary and Great Adventure is one of the best parks in the chain... Just throwing stuff out their.

Six Flags wasn't even the one who maced the kids. It was the Arlington police who were their anyways. A cop took it out of hand and maced a group of teens, from what I understand those teens were taken to first aid and taken care of then released. Now the people on the Facebook fan page are diehard fans on All Time Low and are making it seem worse than it really was. I think the problem with the people on the social networking sites was serious miscommunication between the Texas parks and Mike Scollins, the person who runs the Facebook and Twitter pages. Mike posted that ATL dropped out of the next venue but then ATL tweeted that they weren't aloud back. I wouldn't allow them back either like what Robb said. Someone needs to go on Facebook and explain to the kids what really happened because honestly, I don't think they even know the full story other than what ATL tweeted about.

larrygator - they knew the end all along, it was just the journey getting there. I was very satisfied. It was somewhat predictible but satisfied. How would you have liked it to end?

It actually did answer a lot. It answered a lot of questions I had forgotten about.

Next week's episode is the week with pretty much all the answers so I've heard. There isn't going to be any series regulars other than Jacob and MiB. I can't wait.

Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there already two types of season passes, the Play Pass and just a regular season pass. The Play Pass is just for one park. Correct me if I'm wrong. EDIT: Nevermind I am wrong... -
^Go platinum. It may be a lot more expensive but if it is your only day in the park, get it. If the line is really long the longest your going to wait is 10 minutes. Plus you get to ride it twice. If the line is somewhat short the longest your going to wait is 3 minutes. It works like a normal Flash Pass and you wear a wrist band so the ride ops know that your platinum and can ride twice. You just sit in the same seat.

This is going to be my last complaint post. But in the fan call I was the one who mentioned the lap bars on Bizarro. Just look at these pictures and see if you can see the difference. To me and people on SFNEOnline it looks like they changed the restraints right before opening. As there are pictures from that audio system website showing a train on the transfer track without restraints. Anyone know why they might have changed them? current lap bars - photo credit to SFNEOnline months before Bizarro opened compare the above picture to El Toro's lap bars

Read what I said above you. I said I preferred the track that was played during media day. I grew to enjoy the one they play now but it is pointless. I have to agree. And riding Bizarro without the audio makes it Superman yes, but after riding it a lot I grew bored of the same old Superman. But thats just my opinion. Complain to the park that you don't like the audio. They do have the other version hanging around as it was played for a few weeks in the middle of the summer.

Media Day audio is what you want then. If you went on Media Day they were playing a different audio. It was still everything about Lois Lane falling into the worm hole that opened up as a result of Lex Luthor using the ray to trap Superman, except it didn't have any movie quotes. Only thing during the ride itself was Bizarro talking occasionally and lots of fighting noises and music. When the fire was bursting it played some really dramatic music that was cool. I feel the quotes do ruin it however I learned to live with it.

Thats true. I was comparing them to Mind Eraser, which they were a little different. Flashbacks just seemed less bulkey. Thats your opinion, most of the general public, some coaster enthusiasts, and me myself happen to enjoy the audio. Personally, I happen to think it enhances the ride and the lift hill audio gives me chills and gets me pumped up. Superman lacked that. I didn't mention that the audio wasn't off though. I just said it wasn't working. Its completely off in the yellow train, seats behind the audio box. Thats where I first sat. That was just plan old Superman for me. Honestly, I was bored. I was bored not having the audio. Second ride of the day I got the blue train and sat in the front. I knew the audio would be out from the tunnel onto the last building. But other than that it was an awesome ride. Third ride I got the yellow train again and sat near the front. Now some speakers worked, however most didn't. What I mean by didn't work is I meant static. Loud, loud static and popping noises that hurts your ears. Now that sir, that ruined the ride for me. Only until after the second tunnel did it come in a little with no static. But that ruined the ride for me. Ride Bizarro without the audio then tell me if you still feel the same way.

I went on Tuesday. Here's some notes: Pros -New restraints on Flashback aren't normal Vekoma restraints, very comfortable and no head banging! -Mind Eraser was also pretty smooth -Cyclone retracking makes its 10x better and I love Cyclone again -All buildings look brand new -Employee's are nicer then ever -They themed the propane tank on Bizarro and it looks amazing! It looks like a small oil rig with a big LexCorp logo on it. Cons -Bizarro's audio on yellow train is complete crap. Its all crackly and from what I read about Terminators audio its similar to that and I'm scared its going to go completely out like Terminator -Food prices are up again and are unreasonably high -Crews on all the rides are slow, hopefully later in the year they will get better -Houdini and Splash Water Falls were closed Overall I had a good day on Tuesday and from what I've been told its been pretty crowded all week and season pass sales are up.

^Where were you for the Bizarro campaigns then? Oriolat - most likely they are getting the new trains. I think SFNE got the trains from Serial Thriller for spare parts. -

The whole story is crazy and confusing. They were building a roller coaster. They got attacked by Ednor. Now the roller coaster is actually Ednor? What? Does anyone understand it? Hey look its I-305: Canada version. Lol. fail
