Cincinnati has had their share of PR issues as well. just saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_riots_of_2001

If You Build It, They Will Come! ...Just ask Holiday World (in the middle of nowhere, Indiana)

Or another Transplant

Cincinnati, and Ohio in general, is right in the middle of the Rust Belt, so I can't buy that excuse.

I can't see KI getting rid of The Bat twice, aint gonna happen.

...Still betting on Vortex

My money is on the Vortex.

Doesn't surprise me at all. The Boss is SFSTL's largest ride and everybody wants/wishes it would be an awesome coaster but unfortunately it is not. ...and that generates conversation.

And I remember when the park only had Scorpion and the Python ...back in the early 80s. It has come a long way from that.

I am guessing the reason for the early 2020 announcement is due to the mess of construction happening during the 2019 season on Gwazi. I am really looking forward to its redesign/makeover/redo.

Anything is possible ... it all comes down to $$$$$$

dbl post

SFSTL's old Mine Train #2 is still running in Arkansas!

yes, to make room for The Ninja.

All I'm saying is if you and your buds were looking for something to do on a Friday night and had $10/$20 bucks in your wallet, then going to Six Flags was a cheap and easy thing to do.

Great to see the video. Rode Jet Scream too many times while it was here. Too bad our model didn't have the trees that show in the video, as it definitely had a very temporary look to it here. The Ninja also has the temporary look (imo) and it is going on about 30 years! ugh

$5 gets me into every Six Flags park in the world an unlimited amount of times for an entire month with free parking. What are you on about? In the 80s, the 5 dollar admission did not require a membership or season pass.

It was my first looper too. Though it was fun, I always thought it was a bit short. I suppose you remember Railblazer too. I rode it once or twice (after the accident). It was rather lame. I remember $5 tix after 5 promotions. Ahh, those were the days when you didn't need a whole bunch of cash to visit the park for a few hours.

The Home Page of TPR showcases a video of Looping Star in Japan. SFSTL (over Mid America) had the same coaster in the early 80s called Jet Scream, it was located where Batman stands today. I think it (Jet Scream) was relocated to Astroworld and later scrapped.

Most of the other parks somewhat care about theming, ours doesn't. Just look at the Screampunk District area coming to SFOG that was announced yesterday and the Boardwalk area that's being worked on at SFMM. I think we have the potential to have cohesively themed areas, but we just don't. It doesn't have to be in-depth, it's really just about being creative and improving guest experience, but that all just comes down to effort. ugh ... just leads me to think SFSTL is such an afterthought to Corp. 'yeah, just give STL a spinny ride and call it ... hmm ... Supergirl ... done and done'. 'Now back to the Magic Mountain discussion!'

I gotta wonder if Corp even knows the Park's 50th actually is. Supergirl !? ... ugh, awful awful name. It doesn't fit in that area at all. Can't Corp spend a few more minutes and be a bit more creative?

Get a good night sleep y'all ... so you can celebrate tomorrow's announcement. There will be dancin' in the streets I tell ya

It's an easy statement to say when no other news has been announced this year, unless I missed something. You have missed a few things like the world’s tallest dive coaster (Yukon Striker) at Canada’s Wonderland and the world’s tallest inversion/North America inversion record (Steel Curtain) at Kennywood. I doubt the Six Flags announcement will have anything close to topping those two coasters. Plus there’s the $20 million Mack at Carowinds that will be announced on Aug 30th as well. I was referring to local park news.

And it appears Georgia Scorcher may get converted (floorless) too
