Ummm so where exactly are Riddler's trains? They've been using one train for the longest and it's from Great Adventure (has lime green stripes along the side).
That train is actually Riddler's train that Great Adventure borrowed for a while when they opened Green Lantern.
This is a Green Lantern train and the one currently operating on Riddler. Notice the lime green stripe across the bottom
It's called paint.

Whooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

A giga would just be way too expensive in earthquake prone California. Goliath cost $30 million with only a 4,500 track length. I can't image what the price would be for a ride the size of Fury
Unless they were able to some how use a lot of the hilly terrain, thus reducing the amount steel necessary for supports (like they did with FT). I still think it would extremely expensive for frugal Six Flags.
It's coming, eventually. They're going to have to as the rest of the country starts to get them. Ninja will probably go IMO. It'd be nice to see them use the mountain as I wish FT had done (which some thought was going to be a giga).

Disney doesn't like saying no to guests. That's when you know it's become a problem they unfortunately have to deal with... They made the right choice, hands down. Hopefully other parks with follow.

If someone could design a major ride that has 100% uptime, every single park in the world would want to buy one.
Well, Magic Mountain did just add a ferris wheel.

I'm a roller coaster fan who's prone to motion sickness (lol, I know). Because of this, I rarely marathon or re-ride coasters. I also try to alternate between coasters and other rides as much as possible throughout the day. Every once in a while I get a bad day at the park where I briefly ask myself: "Why do I love these things again?" Luckily, I usually walk it off with some fresh air and I'm right back in line for the next one. To be honest though, I'm not sure if I could keep up during a TPR-style trip if I tried!
Trust me, somehow you feel like you're letting everyone down if you take a ride off during ERT! Haha.

I'm probably the only one, but I got burned out from riding El Toro 10+ times in a row. That last airtime hill where it's literally trying to throw you out of your seat just got to my stomach.
-
Someone said the coaster was probably at Magic Mountain because "they're known for pushing the envelope." I loled.
Lol that's gold. I'm going to have to start saying that.

How crowded is the park on the 4th? Apparently crowds are pretty light at Great Adventure, so I was optimistically thinking things might be the same at SFMM.
-
So can we now speculate what Star Wars rides are coming? And where? What about using the Toontown spot and enclosing it, allowing them to shoot fireworks off of the roof.
-
The EVAC procedures (Or lack thereof depending how you look at it) isn't the reason the ride never reopened.
Okay, well it'd be nice if you told us why it didn't reopen then.
-
If I'm every filthy rich I'm just going to offer Disneyland whatever money it takes to bring back/maintain the moving door effect.

I'd love a giga like fury 325
Any possible ways it could get to SFMM. Obviously a ride has to be taken away for space, but i'd love a long ride with no brakes.
I wouldn't hold your breath on that. A lot of us were hoping what turned out to be Full Throttle would be a giga that utilized the terrain available...

“@CBSLA: California Screamin at @Disneyland had to be stopped after a rider pulled out a selfie stick: http://t.co/cHncn2YFSP”
Must be a slow news day.

Supposedly it's there for a commercial shoot. Doesn't mean it's leaving when they're done though.

SFMM finally got its flat ride!
W.T.F.

The Goliath debacle makes me wonder which other rides perhaps might not be up to code. Batman has been sounding and riding like crap, Apocalypse is the roughest it's ever been, and Riddler rarely has more than 1 train running and that's IF it is even open.
I know MM loves the retaining record for the most coasters but it doesn't seem like they can keep up with them.
Poor operations/low effort in making them smooth rides have nothing to do with safety codes.
-
^Yup.
Definitely an interesting concept, assuming they asked the same things.
I strongly disagree. Very stale. Hopefully they go in another direction.
-
I have no knowledge on this type of stuff, but why would it get sluggish? By sluggish does that mean run slower than normal somehow?
Or is it just rider perception?
Possibly. I know when I have a really fun ride those are the times I would say a coaster was hauling a**.

Ready for part 2!
-
It's likely she passed out due to heat exhaustion (was it hot?) since I don't think the ride really pulls the g's to knock you out... lol

I think it would be pretty lame to switch Riddler's to a floorless. It's been smooth for me. Besides, they already have Scream. If they moved Scream maybe, but they seem to be committed to keeping that ride with the new paint. And why would they want to get ride of the world-record holder for stand-ups?
