"Six Flags president John Fitzgerald previously said that putting the panels in the theme park's parking lot would be too close to the public and would put visitors at risk of injury or the equipment in danger of being damaged."
Having potholes the size of the Grand Canyon in the parking lot puts visitors at risk of injury and tires in danger of being damaged.
This! This. Right. Here.
Meanwhile, In the SFGAdv parking lot......
I'm just glad we opted for the insurance on the minivan we rented.

Xcelerator got stuck on the top hat for a couple hours today. It had come down by the time I got there, but I guess the wind and cold and moisture during morning testing got the best of it. A big gust gave it enough of a jolt to knock it off balance so it could come back. I got sent a video Snap Chat, but couldn't save it and the picture doesn't really let you see what's happening.
My XC operating days were filled with watching the trains stall on the top hat for 10-15 seconds. My favorite thing to do was launch a train that had been sitting in the waiting block during a downpour. Watching all of the water dump out of the train is fantastic.

^Ha!
I think it was built, tested, and had a media day all within a 1 week period.

Nitro had a 15 minute wait on it's opening day as it's been one of the most popular coasters in the entire chain ever since. This thread is ridiculous.
Fixed.

^lol! I was wondering how the hell they completed the track so fast?!?

Intamin
We can only hope.

I'll echo what everyone else has said: Damn those are pretty.

I agree, Hammerhead was a great attraction. Restraints were mildly uncomfortable however a good ride nonetheless. One of the Zamperla installation technicians I spoke to when PE was being built said "I hate when my boss sells a "Rotoshake" which is the off-the-shelf name from Zamperla.

It's been a disaster since the beginning...
Yes it has and Huss even threw their hands up and said "we have no idea how to fix it."

Wow. Creepy pictures. More images can be found here.

Just read that. Sketchy!

That's a screamin' deal!! You riding in the cargo hold??

This meme is relevant on every page in this thread.

^It became just a regular part of the queue 3 months after the ride opened.

Has nobody said anything about how this ride's rebranding is due to an error with RMC painting the tracks the wrong color?
Is that a assumption, a joke, or are you actually being serious?
I'm being 100% serious
Nobody had said anything about the ride being rethemed because The Jolly Green Giant and Grimace broke into the park, shat on the track and changed the colors either.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that dislikes that pre-show. Love the ride but sitting through the pre-show is painful.

^Thanks for that!

^I agree. PLC programmers are the reason the rides run (or don't run).
Outlaw Run's issues were mostly programming related to my knowledge. Twisted Colossus' nagging issues with the lifts are sensor/programming related. I'm currently working on my PLC programming certificate and only have a few months left so I'm excited. Unfortunately, most of the courses are aimed towards students looking to go into the manufacturing industry. Yes, Amusement rides are lumped into the "Industrial Machinery" category which is technically true however, programming a packaging machine and a ride are 2 completely different experiences. Hope that makes sense....

Im digging that SLC photo. Interesting angle
Agreed. Great shot.

I never understood where "Total Mayhem" came from. I just thought it was some comic book character I had never heard of.
I can't say who came up with it, but early last year the park sent out a survey with ride and theme ideas and "Total Mayhem" was one of the choices for a ride name. Apparently it was the most popular answer?
Damn GP!

They take about 2 hours to assemble. What's to delay?
