Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread
Sammy* replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ It would, but im sure something custom would fit in that spot even better. If a wing coaster ever gets placed in that spot even if custom it would have to be similar X Flight since its a large but compact area. -

Its funny how so many of you keep mentioning the X flight clone. I thought everyone was against the cloning idea, I just don't understand why everyone all for it now. And if anyone noticed as of the last 5 years Six Flags has not purchased any clones of large coasters. All recent additions have been custom, X Flight, Full Throttle, Superman Escape from Krypton, Goliath SFOG, NTAG, and Iron Rattler. I hope they continue with this trend and when SFOT finally gets a coaster, it will be something custom. -

Don't know if anyone knows or if this has been answered already. Will this have Gerstlauer make the trains anymore or at least on this ride? -

^ Im waiting for the day a bulldozer is in front of the park as well. The park is large nearly 250 acres. But how the rides are layed out in the park dosent leave much room for expansion without ride removal. With SFGadv removing American Eagle because of low popularity, maybe we will see the removal of JRS is a possibillty in the future. I wonder if the park has gotten on the permits needed for demolition for the shopping center. -

Well I dont think anyone is too surprised about this. Especially consedering NTAG accident in all. As much as I am ready for a new coaster I'm not even mad or really dissapointed because the childrens area really needs it. When I took my little niece to the park a few weeks ago it was kinda depresssing, the rides are pretty sad. But if something (meaning a large coaster, perferrably custom) dosent happen in 2015 I would be pretty dissaponted. -

And I'm sure attendance has not quite been the same since NTAGs accident. The park may be afraid to put another roller coaster in because of the accident, as some people now feel roller coasters are dangerous. SFOT is supposed to be Six Flags flagship park even though it doesnt seem to get as many new large attractions as SFGadv and SFMM. Anyone know what time the announcements wills be made? -

For all I know, Magic Mountain got ride of their PR person to cut costs! I'd love to seem some infrastructure rejuvenation and general park restoration at both SFOT and SFMM! I think everyone wants to Revolution restored. I personally would like them to do a restoration on the scale of the Phantoms Revenge but I dout that would happen. I wish SFOT would allow Rocky Mountain to come back and do some magic to JRS, which I'm sure will never happen. But I can dream. But some general tlc for the parks would be appreciated as well. It would also be nice if SFOT would keep summer hours because I know a lot of people who would actually prefer to go after work and school on weekdays for various reasons plus the temperatures are much better. -

SFOT is the only six flags park that has not gotten a "Facebook hint teaser" I wonder if that means anything. -

This has turned out to be a dissapointing year at SFOT. It's started off well with getting a new large attraction even with Shockwave being closed. But with NTAG, being closed amongst little rides minor breakdowns on other coasters. -
Most Under-rated Dark Ride

I think runaway mountain is sleep on. Its one of those rides that really shows that Premier has more to offer than just great lunch coasters. -
Best American B&M Inverted coaster

Im a bit suprissed that Apliengiest ranks so high as I felt it to be super fast but super forceless. I think Batman Raptor and Mountu top are great. -

It's hard to believe this used to be SOB site. I'm know I'm behind with this I have never seen a B&M invert in the states that dosent have a dip. Does anyone know the reason why B&M went away with the dip 10 years ago? -
Cause the dip before the drop is gone. On a serious note Its more because the old ones have tighter elements vs the newer ones have more gradual transitions as well as more trims.

Yes the park cant afford to have another incident occur it is important that call the park and notify them that this occurred. These accidents also prevent us from getting new coasters (multi million dollar laws suits and the GP perception that coasters are killing machines). -

Hopefully not, I think it may open in a few weeks. It's been just over a month since the accident. If the 6 weeks rumor is true then we may see it open I'm a week. Personally I think the park is just trying to let the situation cool down. Cause I can't remember a roller coaster incident getting so much world wide news spread. Unfortunately a lot of people who have never knew what NTAG was before know it as the roller coaster that's killed someone. -

^ I usually skip judge myself but I had an 10 year old niece who has never rode a real coaster, so I thought why not start with Judge. It seems every time I visit the park, its always a walk on. I'm not sure if its cause of location or just the age. But It does have the benefit of being in front of the park, so everyone has to see it before entering. I used to be fan of the Judge, because it has that classic original coaster and looked great by the water. But it looks like its in rough state and needs painting amongst other things. Maybe a refurb would help but I don't see a refurb giving bringing back the appeal.
