Batman: The Escape from Six Flags Astroworld has been sitting in storage for almost 9 years.

AND the fact that HW is adding a noteworthy attraction.......

^Agreed. They probably weren't getting the results they expected. There has been a lot of Guest Research Cast Members getting guest feedback on Freeze The Night and seems like the reviews might not have been what the resort was hoping for. Translated: Alcohol sales are down.

Delays cost money in every aspect, yes, HOWEVER I'm pretty sure BGT (And every other park for that matter) take this into consideration when building a prototype. Toyota has safety recalls all the time yet is still 1 of the top vehicle manufacturers......... Another thing to keep in mind is that not all of the delays are due to the ride manufacturer. Some delays are caused by the park and/or their contractors themselves! IE: Crane scheduling, unforeseen building site issues, etc... Also, Who's to say that BGT wasn't compensated by said party that was responsible for the delay? If I had a contractor that delayed a project but compensated me, why should I be upset?

Girlfriend and I are visiting some friends in Greensboro NC in August and she gave me the green light to add a day to our trip and drive to the park so I can get my Fury fix. It'll be in the middle of August so heat and crowds will be miserable I'm sure so I'll be purchasing FastLane+ naturally.

^How do you figure?

Can't wait to hear more details.

^Exactly. Plus not to mention, the fire department will contact the park 1st to see what's going on prior to dispatching the Cavalry.

Working at an amusement park exposes you to parenting at its finest!

Loving that Mack is thinking outside of the box with their attraction concepts. Boats + LSMs can be nothing but great!

This is true.

I'll just leave this here........

^Makes sense.

^Agreed. I've had instances where even explaining the process doesn't help. Most of the time informing the quest of the park's EVAC procedures will diffuse a situation yes, but not always. It's their prerogative to be mad but it definitely doesn't help the situation. As operators we also have to keep in mind that most of us (Yes I've worked with operators at KBF and DLR that are terrified of coasters...) aren't afraid of walking down SB's lift or down Screamin's 120ft lift. Add in a guest who was terrified to ride to begin with but got talked into riding by friends and/or family and then they have to be EVAC'd. Definitely a recipe for panicking.

^Ride system was created in '61....... I get what you're saying though with adding new technology to make it more reliable, efficient etc....

^It's also cause HW just installed a new coast..............oh wait.

Costa Concordia Captain Found Guilty in Fatal Shipwreck, Sentenced to 16 Years

Looks awful

Ha!!

^Exactly. I'm not even sure why that path being removed is even being discussed.

I've been in your shoes before with the guests yelling at the operators but the I just let them yell because the bottom line is they can't do anything until maintenance and supervision arrives.
