^I've noticed with MF that sometimes I get "meh" rides, and other times it's great! I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed the same thing or if it's just me. -
What's New for 2014? Rides and Attractions

I don't see the SFA Ragin Cajun and Mardi Gras themed area mentioned. -
Most Attractive Roller Coaster Elements
DanM64 replied to MontagnaMagica's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Arrow sweeping drop on Phantom's Revenge, SFMM Viper, and Shockwave and GASM is my all time favorite looking element. The Control Tower Keyhole on X-Flight looks really nice, too, as do the keyholes on GateKeeper. Skyrush and Mavericak are probably my 2 favorite looking coasters as a whole. -
Best Additions for 2014
DanM64 replied to GoBears's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Goliath, Medusa Steel, Banshee, Falcon's Fury, then the Jumanji drop tower. -
^^The Z-Force/Iron Wolf station will be used- in the video posted by Scott on the previous page Hank Salemi confirms this. He also said the trains were designed by RMC as well, so I'd expect them to be similar to the Outlaw Run trains. Has anyone heard anything about a closure date for Ragin Cajun? I'd assume that being so small it will run through the end of the season, though I'm surprised the park hasn't yet confirmed its removal.

Awesome that there will be a SFGAm TPR trip!! Hopefully I'll be able to make it up there, even if it's just for that day!. I haven't been on an RMC yet, it's pretty awesome the first one I will get on will be in my home park, I'm super excited! I can't wait for Goliath's opening day, I can already feel the sickness coming on that will cause me to miss work that day. As already mentioned, if you get to the park before opening and make Goliath your first ride of the day, the wait will be under 30 minutes no problem.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
DanM64 replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As expected, the Six Flags announcement brought out the idiots on Facebook. Here's a couple gems posted to Six Flags Great America's page in the comments for the Goliath announcement: What??? There were plenty of people thinking this Goliath is a clone of various other Goliath coasters -

^Nice!! I'm planning to go the 13th and 14th of September, maybe I should just push it back a day? I'm assuming Saturday the 14th will be bad, how do you guys think Friday the 13th will be? -
Mine is a picture of the hilarious sign the ride ops put in the control booth of Deja Vu during it's last day operating at SFGAm.

^^That sounds accurate. I waited for Raging Bull in 99 when the line was right at the train bridge, and I believe it took right around 3 hours. Now that I'm older and "wiser" (though I don't act like it), I'd never wait 3 hours for any coaster. However, I disagree that Flash Pass makes the lines any longer. Before it was offered, all the people using it were in the regular queue instead.

I've always enjoyed Cajun, it can give out some insane rides!! I'll definitely miss it. ^^The ride program Six Flags installed is why it could never run all 8 cars at once. Dark Knight also never runs all 10. With the program both of them have, it is REALLY easy to get them to set up, and probably only the best of crews could run them at their designed capacity, if at all. I have no doubt it was a corporate thing, SFGAm had no say in it at all.

Then it would need to double its maintenence staff. What if Vekoma's wheels all touched the track at the same time?

Intamin Accelerators
DanM64 replied to HCOSurfer90's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I voted Kingda Ka because the launch is by far the most intense moment I've ever experienced on a coaster, and I loved it. TTD's launch is good as well, and although smoother, didn't feel quite as powerful as KK's- though still insane!! The t-bar restraints are a plus, too. I understand why KK and TTD don't have more elements than they do, but it would be nice! Storm Runner also has a fun launch, and unlike the first 2 I listed, it actually "does stuff" after its launch and top hat! It is a fantastic coaster, and all 3 rank very high on my list of favorites. -
