Mr Freeze

Hey guys Not to change the subject But I was thinking what if during our extreme heat months (July-August) would Six Flags consider opening later in the day and possibly staying open til Midnight or later (if local authorities permits). Or maybe 1 week out of the season maybe opening up after dark 8pm or later and staying open all night. It seems unless you go during Fright fest there isn't much night time ride time with our early closing hours. It seems our attendance takes a hit during the high temp months. I got the idea after seeing the a episode of "Extreme Makeover" where they took a group of kids to Disney after hours due to the kids having some type of skin condition that would not allow them to go out during the day. What do you all think.. Would you attend something like this?

Why would they invest that much money into a 23+ year roller coaster. We may end up with new trains afterall .. Towards the end of the operating season the plan was that at most this ride was getting a paint job. Maybe we did get lucky with new trains. I guess my question to all of you.. I realize SFSTL is one of the smaller parks but the last I heard we were making money. This ride rotation or the recent history for rides that we have received. We have received several rides over the last several years like Xcaliber, Boomerrang, etc that with their age or problems was nearing the end of their life span. The rumor is that we may have seen the last of Xcalber if they can not repair this ride. Boomerang another older ride that at the age of 22-23 years and a major relocation how long can we expect these rides to continue. Tidal Wave how many years now have we heard that it maybe removed. Bumper cars were removed this year. Highland Fling is getting parts in from Ga and another park to keep this ride going. Sooner or later Six Flags corporate is going to have to sink some money into this park. These rides that they are shipping in + the rides that we have are getting older by the year.

Does anyone know whats going on with the Highland Fling? I have heard that there are some "orange" gondulas at the park... Are they doing a rehab on this ride?
