I'm curious if since Gatekeeper is so visible and is the focal point of the main gate if CP will keep up on its paint job more frequently than most of its coasters and rides? Hopefully. Apart from capacity, Gatekeeper's looks are the only thing it has going for it (to me, at least). It's a truly great-looking POS. I haven't even ridden it and I already know you're reaching.

VHS Coaster's commented on that photo saying that the turn around before the first drop is advertised as a "panoramic curve" and apparently it's an international thing. I think it's pretty neat, adds character and builds up anticipation for that first drop.

That initial element looks so insane and disorienting. Then the lie to fly half loop?! This is literally why flying coasters exist.

I waited for Mr. Freeze at SFOT in 98' for around 2 hours. Well worth the wait though even if the ride is only 45 second long. The queue back then was excellent when the A/C was brand new lol

Just searched and I don't think there is going to be Port Authority Buses from NYC to Great Adventure for HITP. That should also keep crowds somewhat lower.

This flyer is looking excellent so far! B&M is back! So how about a launched flyer for the US sometime in the future or is that a reach? lol

Where's Gatekeeper? Or have u not ridden it?

Co-sign! The way Krypton interacts with the terrain, the pre-drop turnaround. I love how the first drop exits out of the turnaround to it's side..The Vertical loop that last forever, the helix on top of the cliff as well as the drop out of that. The drawn out zero-g roll and the little pop of air time before the MCBR. My favorite things about that coaster. It's one of my favorite B&M's!

This link appeared on my fb www.esquire.com/news-politics/g2316/abandoned-six-flags-photos/?src=arb_fb_d&mag=esq&dom=fb Nice photos I had never seen before, sans the alligator photo.

Right!! But this happens every year when announcements come out. I think it's just the nerd nature of coaster enthusiasts to argue and bicker over the dumbest shit. I'll stick to lurking around here and laughing at the arguments.

I hope we are getting a unique launched B&M Wing Coaster and not the S&S 4D model. I just don't think that model would fit the collection of the park. I also feel like capacity would be a nightmare on busy summer days. We will see...

July 3rd , 2015 I visited the park for the first time last night. We were running very late and got there around 4:30. I was almost going to buy a flash pass cause I just knew the park was going to be packed and I wasn't going to be able to ride all the standouts. Once I saw that the regular flash pass wouldn't get you a ride on Wicked Cyclone and you have to wait in line, and do job-like training for the pass. I was like nope it's not happening. I'm so glad I didn't buy it. The park was crowded in the walk-ways but the queue's were fairly short. The longest I waited all day was about an hour. The crews were doing a great job of keeping the lines going, much better than my recent trip to GADV. Cyclone (1hr) - Amazing, my 3rd RMC. Compared to NTAG and IRAT, IRAT still reigns supreme. I just love the interaction with the quarry. WC and NTAG tie. Bizzaro (1 hr due to breakdowns) - My First Intamin hyper and it was a great ride, I see why it won all the awards! The finale is pretty epic too. But just like in Intamin fashion, the ride was breaking down all night long. Sending empty trains one after the other. I just can't! BTDK (20 mins) -Cutest lil floorless with a steep lift hill!. I enjoyed the ride but it was predictable. I do believe it's fits the park very well. I love how it interacts with the exit stair case, just like BTR. Mind Eraser* (30mins)- WTF! My first VSLC. I was dreading this day would come. The ride was so intense, every maneuver I was trying to anticipate how to make it through without hurting myself. The drop into the second inversion is ridiculous and the in-line spirals are so rude. Came off the ride wondering wtf is Vekoma on. Deja Vu / Goliah (1 Hr)-So I actually rode this ride in 2002 at SFMM, so it was fitting to meet it again. The longest line of the day but the crew was still knocking it out! Why is the ride so intimidating? When you feel that train rush above you, in the station and to the side of you and you get that giant gust of wind. It actually felt very dangerous.. The ride was more intense then I remember and I still dread that vertical drop, and were lucky enough to get backseat. again Vekoma wtf. All in all, great first experience at the park, it wasn't a bad SixFlags at all, just wish the path ways were bigger but they only have so much land to work with. I like the setting of the park as well. I'm Glad I got to knock it off my to-do list.

Forgive me if this has already been posted but has the park released the Bring a Friend dates yet? I want to plan ahead accordingly.

My old homepark SFOT, definitely lost it's luster to me before I moved to NYC. I feel like the ride selections are so dated. The park operations have gotten so bad since the accident. It's really sad, I loved that park growing up and I always thought it was one of the stand outs in the company. Now I feel like it's being neglected.

Can't wait for this, love the fluidity of the track!

Ready to see this thing in action!

Agree, plus SFoT is still lacking in the inversion department. Scream would of been a nice addition at the time or even now.

^Nice find! I love nostalgia clips. Hope to ride magnum one day soon!

Great shot of BTR. I like that it still has it's original color.
