^ Our media is JUST so . Coasters break down for certain reasons ALL the time, no one gets hurt, no one dies, it is NORMAL! They just need to let this Stalling incident and anything related go and go back to covering the Chick-Fil-A vs. gays saga.

^ As much as I would like to see those on Flashback, I don't think it will happen as that design just screams "Never in America". If we are lucky we might see new trains from Premier or KumbaK in its new home.

^ Did you perhaps get a picture?

^ No, just no.

Upset to see Chute Out leaving as I remember having a lot of fun on SFGADVs, sad to think that this is the last one now.

In this situation both the park and the guest are at fault. Firstly, the employee could have been nicer and just have let this guy wait for the next train and could have avoided the mess, but that didn't happen. Secondly this guy should have asked for the supervisor instead of the ride operations manager, problely would have gotten him further in his argument. And thirdly, I think the manager was a little mean because he was trying to refund a pass already over value from 2 previous visits and she may have been stressed out for previous complients (I know that working in customer service isnt easy). The point to this story is that sometimes bad days can happen at theme parks for whatever reason, whether it is a 1 rude employee or the company is a mess all together (Six Flags Premier Park Days) things like this happen and is an example of "life doesn't always go your way". IMO, I think that Six Flags is fine as a whole and I wont be turned off from a park for 1 incident, if this countinues to repeat and I get multiple things like this on visits then I wouldn't return.

Not just local, but also national, I live in New York and saw them covering incident here too. Oh the media.

http://www.coastergallery.com/SF/SFA37.html (The element that the train is on).

Hmm... judging by the paintings on Turbines building and what's on the construction wall near it, it looks like Turbine is getting the Speed of Sound theme.

^^ Make sure to do Green Lantern and Superman Ultimate Flight first as the lines can get hideous later in the day or if you are not into stand up and flying coasters then do Kingda Ka first if it is up and running as the line can also get long. Another option is to do Skyscreamer first if you are not too afraid of being up in the air for a long time. After those you can do them in any order you like as they are people eaters (Batman, El Toro, Nitro), their lines don't get long (Bizarro [if the right lead is running it], Rolling Thunder, Runaway Mine Train) or not worth it (Dark Knight, Skull Mountain, BBLTT, RRR).

^^ Not sad to see Disaster Transport go. I always thought the ride was ok, but it was very cheesey with almost all of the effects not working. Also while I'm talking about effects not working, did they ever fix the tunnel lights and geysers on Maverick, I always thought they added something to the ride no matter how small it was, it is also depressing to see all the effects not working.

I don't even think GCI could fix Beast. Due it being a terrain coaster, a whole new layout would need to be created to make the experience exciting as opposed to fun but with little to remember. GCI could fix the Beast Considering they did fix a section of Boulder Dash at Lake Compunce. Plus I think the Beast is exciting already but it needs the trims removed and be retracked in a lot of places.

1. T-Express has a 77 degree drop, one degree steeper then El Toro (SFGADV) 2. Hades goes 60 mph the record for speed on a wooden coaster goes El Toro at 70 mph, Silver Dollar Cities at 68 mph, and the Voyage at 67 mph considering SOB is going away. 3. Yes VERY excited for this coaster, sounds like it is going to be INSANE, hope Rocky Mountain will get the inversion correct unlike RCCA.

Not surprising, given it history and sitting 3 years. All I can say now is good bye SOB, you won't be missed!

And let's not forget Backlot Stunt Coaster, Drop Tower, Corkscrew, Crypt, Windseeker, Power Tower, and any ride company model names (ie Scrambler, Chaos, Wave Swinger, ect). ^I also like that idea.

^ All are great additions with the exception of the zac spin cause SFNE will most likely run it like SFMM's.

^^ A 385 foot Star Flyer! OMFG that is scary! That's taller then the one in Austria! Agawam better approve this (they most likely won't knowing them ).

That element is just insane ! And I like the Inverted Camel Toe/Guy's ICT as the elements name.

Roar needs Millenium Flyers and a good portion retracked, that is all I will say.

^ I count them as coasters since they have a lift hill, a break run, and run on gravity.

^ In my opinion, I count the OTAG and NTAG as two separate credits since the track was modified enough to make the coaster completely different. OTAG was rough and boring and NTAG is smooth and airtime filled . The same goes for any other redo's too like Phantoms Revenge, Powder Keg, and Space Mountain at Disney Land in CA.

^UGH that crew still hasn't gotten their act together yet?! Honestly, I thought they were bad in the beginning of the season with trying to load the whole damn train with people and that they wouldn't dispatch the train until they had that single rider fill the last seat on the train. I mean, I like to see a crew try to fill most of the empty seats but, one rider isn't going to make a big difference in capacity and how fast the line moves, if anything it slows the line down by waiting for one person to fill the empty seat, none of the other crews were doing this but why are they? Also talking/texting on a cell phone while working the ride is BAD. The crew should be trying to work the ride and keep the line moving at a reasonable pace and not waiting for ALL 3 trains to hit the break run just so they can text each other. Judging by what you said, that whole crew should be fired. Also, about Kingda Ka, I think the OTSR's ruin the whole ride by making the rattle down the launch track more noticeable. I think if Dragster had OTSR's the ride would be just as bad as Kingda Ka. Also, they are kinda pointless considering Dragster has lap bars and shares a similar layout to Kingda Ka and that Formula Rossa is faster then Kingda Ka by about 20mph and has lap bars, why does Kingda Ka have OTSR's? If I had to guess, it has something to do with insurance costs.

^ 8 years old for a wild mouse, oh Dorney.

^^^ Looks like the media found their "NTAG getting stuck on the lift" like story this year.
