  1. At a minimum, let's hope for a few things for 2026 - Finish the Titan Track upgrade for the Boss - Get a Flat from SFA installed in Excalibur's old spot - Give the Screamin' Eagle a complete Face-Lift, Re-tracking... the 'Works' for its 50th Birthday. If the Screamin' Eagle's Bday is an after-thought or completely ignored, then I will believe Corp will never go that extra mile for our Park, installing a major attraction. ie. an iconic Coaster.
  2. Stupid question - but will there be any 2026 announcements in August? or this Year??
  3. I would argue that point. A new Hyper would be in the 20 million range... Moving a Hyper, much much cheaper.
  4. I understand that this is a huge pipedream, but SFA's Superman could fit well in this footprint. The Boxes represent the Helixes. And No it is not to scale, but there is plenty of wiggle room for it to fit.
  5. Ahh, okay ... that's when the Mules make their debut. Good deal!
  6. Where are the Mules !!?? ugh! SFSTL dissed again!
  7. Every Park needs a Drop Tower. But anything is better than an empty concrete pad.
  8. Agree 100%, don't cheap out SFSTL!!! All the main Valley's need Titan Track. Gut feeling tells me we will receive a coaster from SFA, probably Firebird. Also, I hope they install a Drop Tower where Excalibur stood.
  9. All this 'future' talk reminds me that next year is Screamin Eagle's 50th Bday and I really hope it gets some attention during off-season. I rode it in April and it was one of the worst rides I have ever gotten from it. Disappointing for sure. It felt like it had square wheels, worse than the Boss on a bad day.
  10. It would be nice to see that area get some attention soon. Not much happening on that side of the Park.
  11. Curious that these two attractions and the Mooseburger Restuarant are closed this year, coincidental or is something afoot in this area?
  12. Since it is no longer 3D, they should gut it and start over with something else.
  13. Shocking!!!! not... By August... no effects and it will be a walk-through
  14. You will be back to watch the land clearing for one of the 'hand-me-down' coasters will we receive from SFA.
  15. Do they scrap B&M's first coaster or keep it alive? I am interested to see what happens. Whether it winds up here or not, who knows.... It would be par for the course tho.
  16. Is Freeze considered a Hyper? I think is stands at 220 feet. Never thought of it as a Hyper but by definition I guess it is.
  17. Cool Layout!! seems a bit intrusive into HH to become reality though. It's a gut feeling, but I just cannot imagine SFSTL ever getting a Hyper. Something around 150/175 feet maybe, but not 200 or more.
  18. Tsunami Soakers will be SBNO all season from what I read. Agree on your Ninja's comments ... As I have said before, the Ninja's Shelf Life is up, it needs to be replaced. My vision would be ... Ninja's footprint would make a great place for a new Station and Lift Hill (large steel coaster) going towards the East. The bulk of the coaster would exist past the train tracks in the empty fields behind Hurricane Harbor. A Modern Looper, Floorless would be nice. I can't see a Hyper there, not enough room.
  19. I went to the park Saturday, excellent weather. A solid attendance, which was a nice to see. My take-aways: 1. The Boss needs Titan Track on all of the Valleys of the 4 Drops. 1 down, 3 to go. Don't cheap out Six Flags!!! 2. The Haunted House structures around American Thunder looks awful from the Train. Please remove it during the Regular Season as it's just plain trashy. 3. Install a Drop Tower in Excalibur's old footprint. It would be a perfect addition in that locale. 4. Remove the decrepit Go-Fresh Cafe immediately and replace with Bumper Cars. Talk about trashy, this structure needs to go now. Bumper Cars would be a great fit with all the Kiddo rides in that area. That's really it. I will not talk about how desperately in need SFSTL needs a Signature Steel coaster or the SBNO Carousel, we all know about that. The park is in great shape, generally I don't see why it should not be a great season for them. Steve
  20. It will be long stressful year for the Screamin' Eagle. A lot of bad reviews, headaches and sore backs. I do hope it gets the renovation it deserves for its 50th Birthday, entire refurbish, retrack, paint and lighting package.
  21. I experienced the exact opposite ride Kim. It lumbered along from the first drop to the 90 degree turn, from there it felt like the train had square wheels. I have ridden SE easily over a 100 x's, my first ride was opening year 1976! (showing my age here). Yesterday's ride was the worst experience yet. And I agree about the painting, it looks old and sad. Ugh. I 100% agree with you about the Boss.... the First Drop is amazing thanks to the new Titan Track. Titan Track is needed for every Valley in the layout, hope that will happen soon.
  22. Maybe insurance costs decreased with the taller requirements. ??
