Hey, dose anybody know what's up with Condor? Every time I go to the park now it's always closed. I'm afraid their going to remove it and replace it with a skyscreamer (which I don't really like because Six Flags' version of the tower swings look more lose and less safe than Ceder Fair's version). I like Condor, it's a simple fun ride. If anybody knows what's up with it please tell me.

I am kind of disappointed that the park is not launching with a Space Mountain, but I guess there is always time to add it later. I also really like the new Adventure Isle rapids ride. That crocodile dinosaur thing looks to be added on the long list of "Things at Disney parks that scare the crap out of people"

Hey everybody! With Comic Con happening right now, I would like to know what everybody's favorite comic book themed rides are? They can be anything from a roller coaster to a flat ride as long as it is themed to a comic book. Some of my favorites include: Batman The Ride Mr. Freeze The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man Bizarro at Great Adventure Please feel free to post your favorite Comic Book themed rides in the forum!

It has nothing to do with the coasters age. "If it doesn't 'bend' it will break." Most all coasters are designed so that the track can sway. Take a look at videos showing Top Thrill Dragster off ride footage. The track at the base of the tower right after the launch sways back and forth a good 8-12 inches every time a train passes by it, and it is obviously much newer than Shock Wave. However, I do get what you are saying. I took one of my good friends to the park recently, and she said the same thing about the track swaying on Shock Wave. Regardless of what I told her, she was still freaked out. Well I mean I don't usually see that on a roller coaster so that's why I wanted to point it out. I was actually pretty surprised with how smooth the ride was

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience at Six Flags Over Texas. I got to the park on Friday the 3rd. I got to the park around like 4-ish due to problems with my car. The park was already pretty full of guests so the lines for the rides were 40 minutes long give or take. I got on Shock Wave, Texas Giant, and Titan. Shock Wave was enjoyable, however I wasn't a big fan of seeing the track sway back and forth as the coaster car ran around the track. I'm aware that the ride is older, but still it was kinda scary. Texas Giant was awesome. Giant was fast, smooth, and radical. The ride took longer to get out of the station, I think it was because of the events that happened happened two years ago so I could understand the added need of safety for the ride. Overall Texas Giant was my favorite ride of the park. The last ride I went on the day was Titan. I had previously been on Goliath at Magic Mountain so in a way I had already ridden the ride, but I still enjoyed the ride. It was a ton of fun and was probably my second favorite ride of the trip. I went to the park the next day on Saturday July 4th. I got in the park an hour early because of a promotion the park had so I got on Superman TOP early in the day. The coasters I got on that day were Freeze, Batman, Judge Roy, Runaway Mountain, La Vibora, and Titan again (I wasn't able to go on TG again due to the members of my family not wanting to wait in the line). I also went on the new Justice League ride which was very fun. I liked the themeing on the ride and I had a fun time beating every one in my family. The only problem I had with Justice League is a pretty obvious reason, the ride broke down a lot. When I went on Friday the ride wasn't operating all day long, and on Saturday after I got off the ride, it was having trouble operating the rest of the day. I am aware that this ride is new for Six Flags and the mechanics and system are something that the parks have never really had, but they really need to fix the frequent down times. I'm sure by next year they'll get the system all figured out, but hopefully they fix it soon. Overall Six Flags Over Texas was great. It was a fantastic two days and I hope I get to go again some day.

Photo Trip Report: Elitch Gardens!

Didn't this used to be a Six Flags park? -
Well i got my final ride on Ragin Cajun today before it moves to SFA, and i will not miss it. It had been a couple of years since i went on that ride, but after today, i don't want to ride it ever again. I felt like my stomach was going to explode. I will gladly take a sky screamer in that section of the park in 2015. Have fun with another crappy roller coaster that we didn't even like in the first place Six Flags America

I simply do not understand all the complaining about this ride. Anyone who thinks the ride is "short" or "needs to do more" really should go ride Outlaw Run. --Robb "There just never will be a cure for 'dumb' will there?" Alvey Robb buddy it was just a joke. This ride is frign' fantastic. I don't think i've been more excited in my life

No, it must've been from a previous year. The audio system has been removed and the last rows are four-across again. Wait, why would they do that? The on board audio was one of the coolest parts of the ride! The Bizarro in New England still has it's audio system, but it's audio changed from sound clips from old movies to a collection of music much like X2 At Magic Mountain. I guess the reason for removing it would be because of high Maintenance costs and the ride not being popular enough. I don't really know all that goes on at the park since the last time i went to Great Adventure was in 2010.

This can't be right. When Great America announced that they were going to remove the Iron Wolf back in 2011, it was in July i think. The park would have announced when they were going to remove it by now. And if Six Flags America was to take Rajin' Cajun I have to ask this question. Why can't Six flags America get an original coaster? Besides Batwing and The Wild One, all the rides are coasters that are in other places. Superman Ride of Steel: Mirror image at Darien Lake. Rage: Copy at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. Mind Eraser: Vekoma SLC. Joker's Jinx: Copy of Flight of Fear at King's Island and King's Domain. Apocalypse: Formerly Iron Wolf. It seems odd to me that they would take another Non-original coaster.

Outside of the building there is a Sign with a B&M Floorless coaster on it. This could mean that we could see a new B&M Roller Coaster. If they put it in the spot where Iron Wolf was, it could be a tribute since Iron Wolf was B&M's first Roller Coaster ever installed in a theme park. But this probably will not be the case since we just got a B&M Roller Coaster a Year ago. Also, i know this has little to do with anything with the video but the Supervisor who asks David to leave to room in the video has the last name of Bruce. Something Batman Related? Hmmmm?
