Is the removal of Tidal Wave a certain thing??

...

Not knocking the SFSTL crew and maintenance, but the thing is Down more that it is Up - SBNO. Maybe they should have stuck with the old Tech. You would be assuming that the new lift system has caused most of the down time (and slightly implying that the stunt Boomerang pulled last year was related to the lift system), which would be incorrect. Yes I was... it just seemed the new lift system was the likely cause.

Not the best way to welcome guests for a day of fun at the Park

Great plans - awesome to see it happen some time, some year, some century

I like that idea... plenty of room and it would look pretty darn cool

The Ninja is not going anywhere, it is SFSTL's VR coaster. What's with all this Tilt-a-Whirl talk?

Yep... unfortunately. It's the new Justice League

If that Tilt-a-Whirl is a 200 footer, we'll take it

The Park is built on a Hill, no way it could flood.

Congrats to TNT on reaching 1000th page on the SFSTL forum and yes, Spinsanity is looking good.

I would like the Ninja better if it had a different name and a different location.

Who the F*** is that tool? I would lay down on the train tracks if I had to hang out with that guy for an entire morning. Where's Johnny Fever!

Seeing the results of GCI's Refurb of Ghostrider, I would definitely welcome the same treatment on the Boss.

Yeah... I can see us getting a 4D Coaster next year. Wish it were a custom B&M though

How about Tom's Twister... that was a Barf machine more so than the Fling Ahh, yes, Tom's Twister. Even worse because the barf obeyed centrifugal force and adhered to the walls and everyone else! Yep, It took a lot of bravery and courage to step onto TT

It was late 70's ... the Sky Chuter and the Swings were right next it in those days. How about Tom's Twister... that was a Barf machine more so than the Fling

They could put me in a spinning office chair and strap a phone to my face and it would be more enjoyable than Ninja with VR. I'm all for them scrapping it, and replacing it with grass and flowers. Hell, they can replace it with a concrete slab with picnic tables and it'd be an improvement. I hear ya and feel the same way but the Ninja now has staying power due to the VR trend. That's my take on it anyway

The Chevy Show Bldg needs a new roof... badly

The Ninja isn't going anywhere, it's SFSTL's VR coaster

I have ridden both and thought they were very similar, not much difference at all

No it wasn't. The Atari 2600 was released September 11, 1977. Screamin' Eagle opened April 10, 1976. Yes, I will stand up for facts. Yes, you could have Googled that like I did and could have presented correct facts to prop up your straw man argument. Yes, it's a straw man argument because whether people used microwave ovens and 8-track casettes has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject at hand. Ask any normal people (or "GP" if that makes you feel better about yourself) to name a coaster at SFStL, and the two answers you'll get most often are Screamin' Eagle and Batman. That's what makes something a signature item. Not the best, most popular, whatever. It's the thing they're known for. The Big Mac is McDonald's signature item. It's what they're known for. There. End of stupid discussion. Let's get back to complaining about Ninja and whining about Georgia taking our hyper coaster. Your fact checking skills are better than mine, you win. I will know better next time when I describe the age of SFSTL's 41 year old woodie.

God, I love Eagle. The Eagle is great, however can a coaster hold its Signature status for over 40 years? To me, and probably many other locals, the answer is No. Remember, the Atari 2600 was the emerging leading edge home tech when the Eagle opened, and the Microwave was a luxury item. 8-tracks were still being installed in Cars.

It's been awhile since I have read some good SFSTL bashing ...Just like old times. Makes me wonder if we ever got that Signature coaster, would the bashing stop??? hmmm, not sure
