Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread
Rayj replied to Mind Eraser's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
They used to. It was a monster bash/dance show. I do not keep up with FF anymore because its never scary. They send way too many people through at once in the haunts. I said the exact same thing. Fright fest has so much potential, but they think it's a great idea to send 10+ people in a maze at once just to shorten the line. The hall manor maze is the woods used to be my favorite but it's not scary anymore because they combine groups together (and you eventually catch up with the group that went before you) and they never change the layout. -

I wish this would have been a bigger hit for the park. They put so much into the themeing. If only they kept up with it. Its the only coaster in the park with a theme that starts from queue to ride to exit. I think a conversion would be great for the park and ride itself. I would assume a conversion would be cheaper then building a totally new coaster. -I haven't seen the fire/mist effects for apocalypse all year and there is barely a 1 train wait time. -I think I'd rather have v2 than a 4d free fly. Although I want an original, stand out coaster or a rmc roar, v2 would be a good addition (if it doesn't have a dc comics theme and does not replace anything). -

I really want apocalypse to go but they would be wasting all of that theming. I think it's time for a floorless conversion. That's the only way I'm riding again. -

rodeo is not even as good as it used to be. I think they decreased the speed, the amount of spinning, or something. The ride always used to be down so they had to alter it some how. It's not as forceful or fun compared to two years ago. -

I don't see any big investments coming to this park anytime soon because they feel like it's unnecessary. SFA still gets decent crowds due to the water park and fright fest but the dry park barely has lines during the summer. I could see a relocation coming or them doing something to apocalypse, either turn into a floorless with some track modifications to make it faster or burn it! Even the gp knows it's a horrible ride. The stand up gimmick only worked its opening year in 2012. -
With the addition of joker and battle of metropolis, it's time to retheme the areas these rides were placed. BOM can be called DC comics and the boardwalk with superman and green lantern should also be called DC comics (continued) or have a raised bridge connected the two areas. Joker and Harley quinn should join batman in Gotham city. Poor bizarro, so out of place. It needs to be rethemed again to something western or taken out, it has low ridership anyway.

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
Rayj replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Is there a reason why RMC tends to recycle the same 3 colors (red, orange, or dark red)? I wish hurler was a light blue or some other color, KD already has two red coasters. Not that big of a deal but something I've noticed. -

Haven't been on joker this season to experience it myself, but it seems like they boosted the speed up after the incident. Hopefully they keep it like this because poltergeist at fiesta texas normally runs like this -
I'm taking a trip to Orlando sometime during the summer with my family and it will be about 10-12 of us. We are trying to figure out which universal park(s) to go to. It's about 4 coaster riders and 2 kiddie riders. We most likely won't go to volcano bay, but which park is worth the price or has more to offer, islands of adventure, studios, or both?

SeaWorld Orlando (SWO) Discussion Thread
Rayj replied to disneygurlz2s's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
My cousin is overweight with a size 40 waist. He could not fit on nitro or el toro at GA due to his large thighs. I plan on going to sea world orlando and universal with him sometime during the summer, are there any coasters that he will have complications with? -

Superman remains the only coaster (excluding great chase) with an on ride photo. I always thought batwing should have one but I guess not. Also, does anyone have a pic of Wild One's 12 flags? -

after watching off/on ride videos of poltergeist, joker is significantly slower for some reason. I don't know if the park purposely doesn't use its full power but that's sad. -

The VR for mind eraser should be put on hold until it gets the same train as the one in New England. Either SFA gets brand new trains or borrows new England's during the summer. However, I think that is not likely and park goers will suffer the head banging VR experience lol. Don't be surprised if it stops working right after the first drop. -

Has the trim brakes on the 2nd airtime hill on i305 annoyed anyone else? They should at least be moved to the bottom of the drop -

Although it's been almost 7 years since i305 opened, I haven't complained about KD not receiving a coaster. I still this it's an amazing and well rounded park with unique coasters, compared to my home park (SFA). I do think KD will receive a new coaster by 2019, but I wonder what's taking them so long. If you remove a coaster and have one SBN0, then the next addition better be worth it after a coaster drought. -

Am I the only one that finds minderaser tolerable and will ride it at anytime, but only can only ride apocalypse once and be done for good? Both have head banging, but at least minderaser's layout is actually exciting. If B&M did that layout, it would probably one of the best in the park. -

Fright fest haunted attractions ratings: Spider Outbreak: 6/10 Twisted FairyTales: 9/10 Aftermath: 6/10 Voodoo Curse: 8/10 Terror Toy Shop:9.5/10 Haunting of Hall Manor: 4/10. One of fright fest's best mazes, haunting of hall manor, is officially ruined due to 1000 people being let in at once. I went two saturday's in a row and had the same experinece, having my scares ruined because of collisions with other groups. -

Somebody needs to do something. I'm sorry but this is a stupid question, considering we don't know what the treatment is and what the result will be. Hey, I have an idea! Let's put an inversion on every wooden coaster because it happened to "Hades". You tried it... Anyways, this is kind of similar to how some parks are converting their OTSR to the vest style ones, like on i305, maverick, stormrunner & etc. So it's a possibility that in the near future all slcs can receive some kind of upgrade, such as all of the premier launch coasters receiving lap bars. Is my question still stupid? Lol -

Do you think minderaser should receive the great nor'easter coaster treatment and get it's track replaced to enhance the coaster and make it smoother, or is it not worth saving? -

Does anyone find it strange that all of the gigas in North America made the top 10 at the golden ticket awards except i305? -

Although Two face had many issues, I still miss walking to southwest territory (now Mardi Gras) and seeing it. I wish SFA would've kept it and skull mountain, arguably one of the best water rides in the region.
