If they Sfstl is getting new trains, it would be cool if SFOT sold the old trains as they sold chuteout parts. But I dout that would happen -

Going backwards on a Flying coaster would be intersting? -

Im surprised non of the coaster manufactures have not expanded the idea of boomerangs (other than the invertigo and giant inverted boomerang), with different layouts heights and inversions. -

^ You know the sad thing is thats not just any hand me down, its a 23+ year old terrible coaster. I dont expect much from Six Flags but them sending Flashback to another park in the chain is bad. I expected flashback to someday get sold to some park outside the US, if not demolished. I guess Six Flags sees boomerangs as being timeless. -
I simply quoting what the president and interim CEO, spokeswoman Sandra Daniels said. That they will maintain a office in New York, but the company's headquarters is in North Texas the region of the Six Flags Flagship park. Anyways I do think that 3 train operation will not work for this ride as to its shorts. Since the backward launch is going to add all of 4 or 5 seconds on the ride.

I agree with Manic Monte, I feel these three parks are the flagship parks in the SF chain. These three parks constantly get the large attractions and all three have a big coaster collection which is crucial in Six Flags' perspective. Now, to get on topic, has anybody seen YOLOcoaster's construction site recently? Has anything changed within the last few weeks? Actually SFOT is the flagship park as said by Six Flags inc. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, Six Flags Corporate stated their reason for moving to Grand Prairie was because they wanted to operate by there Flagship park.

I dont think Lavibora is a bad ride, it just lacks speed. I think that space could be used for a better attraction, I no it would never happen but I would love to see a larger new bobsled replace it. -

I noticed the picture was edited . Anyway Ive always thought the trains on Giant are 2 cars too long, like Millenium Force train, but its okay on MF since its a 300+ foot coaster -

^I happy with having a Sky Screamer of that height. but I cant help but to worry this ride will not be open much because of the crazy North Texas Weather -

Most likely they will crash it on Flashbacks former pad. But they should go ahead and let it fall into the Strip Mall too start Demolishing of it. -

^Your right Intamin, B&M, and Premier seem to be only manufactures that get respect on here. Arrow has made a some quality designs, lets not forget the overpraised X2 is actually an Arrow, before Arrow was bought out by a S&S. -

Has Flashback been completely removed from the park yet? -
Pyrenees (Parque Espana) looks like it would give a hell of a ride and very forceful. As well as Starry Sky Ripper at World Joyland from the on-ride POV ive seen on them they look nothing like the any coaster in the US layout wise. Has anyone else had the privilege of riding either one?

Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Sammy* replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Ive never got to ride this, but every review I have read was negative. Its just sad sad to see so much wood got to waste. This coaster didnt even last a decade. It just reminds me of the old ratler. They both have crappy layouts but are huge, but with treatment they could be great. Well hopefully what coaster they build in its place will be great. -

Looks better. I dont understand why they always leave that spiral staircase yellow. No matter what color they paint Shockwave the staircase remains yellow. -

I never noticed that before, but the tunnel does look crappy. Was this tunnel just something they added at the last minute, cause thats too cool of a coaster for something like that. -

^Its a actually a brighter shade of green. Looking at it appears to be exact same as Goliath. The same company painted Goliath at SFne Since its cold and rainning all day I wonder if they have the water main issue repaired?
