Tallest coaster you've been on.

Thank You. I've been waiting for someone to just say it. To those of you relating this to GASM, Stop. Management of the parks is completely different. Jim is a figure, the Park Presidents are the ones that now create future plans for the parks and then submit them to corporate for approval. Jim is a driving force behind the "Park President is an entrepreneur" statement. And Hank always goes on about how he would never pull Wolfie.

August 2005 Six Flags is still experiencing financial woes but I guess that's not stopping Kieran Burke from improving our park even more! Revolution is getting some new paint, and the sign was taken down. The Main Entrance is getting some love, new benches, rails and two new flag poles! Superman: The Escape's refurbishments are done, and that includes new yellow coaster rails, and a multi-colored station paint job. I'm not sure how I feel about this Yellow on White design.. This building is "Ice Cream Man" serving "Fresh Ice Cream." I guess work is starting for next year over here! I've heard that this whole area might get something really big next year, we'll have to see! The turnstile area is next for some tlc! See ya' soon !

July 2005 While management goes on an down hill battle against the investors, the park seems to be going through a few battles itself! Is there something missing in the skyline? Apparently, guests seem to have absolutely hated Ultra Twister, and the park found it more feasible to ship it to Astro World in Texas. Families really love Bug's Wild Run though! Poltergeist is another hit with the guests, with the ride's great reliability, smooth turns, and loads of airtime, guests can't resist! While some guests were surprised that wooden coasters were still being built, the ride is also receiving raving reviews. . Something guests NEED is some good food, and that is HERE! Still not much activity here, although the park has said that there are no current plans for the site. I know what you're thinking, but the park says that their just doing a bit of touching up on Superman, and it should be back very soon! Trains are still in the station, which is a good sign! Yay for new amphitheater seating!!! TWISTY! THE RIDE IS TWISTY! MORE TWISTYY!!! (Am I sensing a theme?) -__- See you soon!

April 2005 After months of painstaking hard work and a short 2003 season, Six Flags River of Adventure presents.. FOUR NEW COASTERS! Prepare to embrace POLTERGEIST, ULTRA TWISTER, ROAR! and BUGS BUNNY'S WILD RUN! Six Flags River Of Adventure will now have SIX coasters to rival collections of competing parks, including Superman: The Escape (2), Poltergeist, Ultra Twister, Roar!, and Bugs Bunny's Wild Run. We've also expanded our collection of foods and services with TWELVE new resteraunt choices in both our Food Court, and 'International Market' (Opening May 2005). The skyline looks magnificent! Poltergeist casts a scary shadow of a 230ft. coaster! At only 29ft. Bugs is a bit smaller. This is 'The River Food Court' where you can grab a quick bite and get back to the fun! ROAR might look small, but packs a punch! Poltergeist's reTURN also packs a huge punch! Over planning at it's best.. haha Six Flags, It's Playtime. At the International Market, you can experience the whole world within a few steps! The Grand Hall will "re-open with a bang!" in 2006. Ultra Twister should not be rode after dinner! More soon. Stay tuned!
