What's the point in adding lighting packages to any ride? The park is barely open in the dark except for FF. That would be true for most parks, yet they have them. C'mon - putting Chaser Lights on the Eagle can't be that hard to do... Heck, give me the strands of lights ... I'll do it for free

Here comes that "world's tallest mule-go-round" rumor again Ugh! You know we will end up with one of those Zac Spin deals... last summer there was an online Survey I took that had one of those coasters in it, and I believe Great Adventure's survey as well. Well... they got one and I believe SFSTL is next.

Surprising, wonder why?

So they sell, sell, sell these Dining Passes but don't have the infastructure to support the increased demand? what a crock! All about the mighty dollar if you ask me.

Foreshadowing? Fireball requires a lot of energy. It goes around and Around And Around AND AROUND - Forwards and Backwards too! which does limit re-branding the Ride later. Hmmm, Six Flags put themselves in a hole on this one

I was hoping to make a few of you laugh, but yeah I will still beat this dead horse on occasion. And TrippinBillie is correct on all points.

Seriously? Other parks in the chain are getting RMCs or similar - but hey, at least we get double rides on the Eagle. What wrong with double rides on Eagle. Allow me to answer that rhetorical question. Nothing. We got Justice League last year. Fireball, general improvements, and Holiday in the Park this year. Looks like a good year to me. Some people just have to complain!! That's because we are very Hyper-sensitive to what the other parks are getting, and the Screamin' Eagle isn't as 'High Per' those other coasters we envy. ...Catch what I am sayin' Rode Goliath at SFOG last weekend and the weekend before that too. Had a great time. very happy for you

Yeah I'm thinking over by the Boneyard which is still on the Hill.

I always thought a Hyper would look great atop of that hill, hmmm but that's crazy talk, a Boomerang and Super Loop is the way to go. Glad I'm not in charge.

It would be cool to see it reborn and have a single circuit two lift design like Twisted Colossus.

So what's the latest news with Gwazi? Is it still standing there without any future plans?

everything appears taller sitting on top of that hill, even the eagle looks much taller than 110 feet.

I read somewhere, Screamscape I guess, that SF registered the name Titan again. Maybe that is a glimpse into our future?? We've been road this road many times, maybe I should just stop now. Glad to hear the LEDs on Fireball look good, now if they could only do that with the Eagle (at a minimum the Lift and First Drop)

I bet there will be advertisements during the trip up the lift hill

They choose the Ninja because it has the lowest coaster ridership in the park, so they are trying to get people back in the line. As far as this VR idea, if executed well it could be good but I see it as troublesome and a maintenance nightmare. Probably won't work most of the time.

Sorry, Ninja sucks... no way around it. It has been here way too long and it has got to go.

Looks so bland, needs some theming or a least a few Trees out there

Well that's one thing it has going for it.

Rik Idol good god, how cheeseball

HITP = Hyper In The Park

I was fortunate enough (I guess) to ride it back in '84. From what I can remember it was slow, boring and a general lame experience. I rode it after the incident if that makes any difference.

.. a Clue about 2017 ???

Maybe referencing Tidal Wave will soon be gone and replaced by a 'ASART' - whatever that is

I got the job, but the timeframe is still up in the air. Not to get too much into my personal life, but I have a couple procedures (one inpatient surgery while the other outpatient) coming up in March & April to hopefully kills a few of the brain tumors and cryogenically freeze the kidney tumor (I'll have kidney cancer the rest of my life, due to my genetic disorder). Whether I live another five years or fifty years, I want to spend it doing what I love. I have a lot of loyalty to Six Flags, especially to certain individuals at the company. It's honestly pretty cool that Jim Reid-Anderson, the President & CEO of Six Flags (who is in the announcement videos), and I have become pen-pals over email. It even takes him less time to respond than it takes me....and the man oversees a company with 30,000 employees. I'll be talking to the management of HR in the coming days, as I want to work out the best times for them and to see if I can get their "blessing" so to speak. It should be a great summer of Always Smiling And having fun in the shadow(s) of Rollercoasters, a sound that is as refreshing as listening to the waves as the Tide comes in and out. Best of luck on those procedures Josh, and as always we all appreciate your updates. You are definitely the lifeblood of the SFSTL board. We all wish you the best I am sure.
