Thinks Goliath is meh and GASM is horrible, yet says DDD, Cyclone, and Ninja are awesome. Get out. No. get out. GTFO. Ninja just needs to be killed Goliath is one of the better hypers I've been on and GASM is just a timeless classic. Agree with all comments. However I do like DDD. Course the lapbars didn't hurt the ride either.

You guys already have a Top Spin. Top Spin In Name Only. Maybe 2 spins and it screeches beyond tolerability. SFAm doesn't have a Top Spin I'm Kidding -

As long as it doesn't screech, Send SFGAm a clone please -

August: Osage County Drama, Drama, Drama, and more Drama. Tyler Perry wishes he could have this much drama in his films. I was exhausted after watching it. -
You decide. Both companies have made smart additions (Glow In the Park Parade, Iron Rattler) and dumb additions (Coaster Cuts, IgNight) so you have to take the good with the bad. Basically who would you say is the better CEO of Six Flags? I would probably choose Jim Reid Anderson cause his additions sometimes make a little more sense than Shapiro's additions (SFGAm getting a 2nd Mouse coaster and almost a 2nd Stand Up Coaster. SFGAdv getting a 2nd indoor coaster) and he tends to realize what parks are missing/in need of (SFGAdv and SFMM getting long needed Drop Towers, Rattler getting rebuilt, SFGAdv getting flats, SFGAm getting major league coasters, SFAm getting a much needed family coaster and retheming Southwest Territory into Mardi Gras, SF Mexico getting expansions long overdue, Etc.) and of course his hilarious CEO videos.

You can name all the Six Flags before Premier Parks acquired them You can name all the Premier Parks excluding the Walibi Properties before they acquired Six Flags -
I normally agree with this sentiment when people post things about safety or structural integrity of a ride but I don't think there's anything wrong with coming to the reasonable conclusion that a record breaking permanent coaster can't go from the state it's in now (the lift hill isn't done, most of the first drop isn't there and the signature barrel roll element isn't there) to being open with riders in 2 weeks. We've all seen coasters progress greatly in just a day. I think this thing could be completely tracked by the weekend. Testing mid week next week. A week or so of testing... This is assuming they have everything done. It's safe to assume that trains will be put on any day now,if they haven't been already But I think we would have seen that. Unless I missed it. The chain could be coiled at the bottom and ready to be fed up. The sensors, brakes, etc could all be done and all that's left is the grunt work of topping off and finishing track work. I think the park would have already announced that this coaster won't be ready by medi day if they thought that was the case. They'd want to give members of the press ample time to not only cancel their travel arrangements but also to reschedule for a new date. The fact that they haven't, makes me believe this coaster is still on schedule to open as originally scheduled. "Believe in Fred and Hank" Falcon's Fury? Granted that is from a different manufacturer and different theme park chain but they were supposed to open 14 days ago.

To be fair, KT doesn't even know who Barney is and only knows Curious George a little bit! Probably is time for an update! I would love to see a Yo Gabba Gabba land, but that may be a bit selfish. I just guessed that Kidzone would be the area she would know the most. Personally, I'd love a Madagascar Themed Area. The ET Ride could be re-themed into Madagascar with new cars. Problem is there isn't really food in the Madagascar films which breaks Universals recent trend of having themed food.

Maybe a Waterpark? Remember Premier Parks/Six Flags were big on waterparks around that time. -
Kings Dominion Birthday Bash-May 10th,2014
Rollercoaster Rider replied to CPSFMMCW's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
In the pavilion pic, You can see me in the Orange/Yellow shirt I also won an Intamin Volcano wheel for traveling over 400 miles but sold it for $6.00 CPSFMMCW, Thanks for not talking too much trash about me (yet) -
Who cares about the sign; it's an RMC! Now, let's see how many of those Cedar Fair has installed. Hmm... How many world-class giga coasters does Six Flags have installed? On a more serious note, the I like the roman columns, but I imagine that the sign could be a bit better. Then again, this isn't a particularly themed ride. Zero, But how many Major Intamin Steel Coasters drops have Six Flags had to rebuild?

That actually wouldn't be a bad idea for Six Flags. Combining Both tracks of Colossus and just Topper tracking the ride would make the coaster 8,650 feet long (Give or take depending on elements added), making it the Worlds Longest Wooden Coaster. It would also save Six Flags Money by only needing to hire 2-3 employees as opposed to 4-6 they currently have (1 to dispatch, 2-3 to check restraints). Just thinking out loud
