Only 21 days until the New For 2016 Announcements! Its weird how hush hush the park has been so far with Fiesta Texas already dropping clues and such

When they put better A/C systems in, I'm hoping they repair some of the effects in the 'Batcave' part of the ride, including some of the lights on the ceiling and the red lights that light up the ground when the floor drops. Some of those little details are things that I think make the theming and feel of a ride even better

Yeah I miss the bumper cars for sure. Nothing like the ones at Knoebel's but they have a sense of nostalgia for me

Bumper Cars......100% Yeah definitely

Ohhhhhh yeah. When I went last month Boomerang and JL:BFM had like equivalent lines I don't see what the general public sees in that ride honestly I mean there has to be some word of mouth of how painful and unenjoyable it is wouldn't you think?

Don't wanna go into this stuff again but it was just on my mind. This year, it will have been 14 years since the rumor mill of a hyper coaster began, and all these years literally nothing has happened in terms of dev elopement besides us almost getting one, until it went to SFOG in 2006 Other than that, ever since then people have been dying to see it happen, and I don't blame them. 14 years of anticipation for a coaster is a super long time, and all I'm saying is I really hope someone at the park has known about this want as long and maybe, just maybe we've got something coming in the next couple years. Statements like these have been repeated so many times that it's become one of the most redundant things in probably the entire Theme Park Industry, but I've still got a little glimmer of hope, especially how the park is improving so vastly from year to year If they were to announce, say something on the lines of like a Fury 325 at Carowinds, I think we'd all collectively lose our sh*t, and in a good way of course But I do think if the park wants to take a few more years to splatter some paint around and give the park that extra bit of 'magic' before they lay down a huge new coaster as the crowning jewel, I say go ahead. All of their new additions in the past 5 years I think have been exceptional (with the exception of Boomerang, but hell, they made that ride look pretty good IMO. But looks are deceiving. ) So no matter what comes out when they release the New For 2016 attractions, as long as it's not something utterly terrible (keep those Larson Loops at least 1,000,000 miles away from me at all time please), I'm still gonna check it out, because at least they know what they do, and more than likely have a vision for the next 5 years, and the way things are looking, it sure seems like it

I would say over 100 easily. Wish I could work Fright Fest this year You can't? Aw Hope you can make it next year! But this year there's a lot of dates for auditions for scare actors, more than last year I would say, so it's pretty exciting to think of what a massive cast of characters will be at the event this year hopefully

Does anyone know the exact number of scare-actors there were during last year's Fright Fest? Just curious

Seems like Six Flags is wasting no time putting up decor for Fright Fest this year! Also heard the Headless Horseman is in his place This could also be just an ad/promo for it but still cool! Can't wait for this year.

So there was a big burst of Fright Fest news overnight, and it seems we are getting two new mazes, Wrecker's Salvage and Camp Killamore, and also the revival of the 'Vengeful Trolls' Scare Zone from back in 2011, and plus all existing Scare Zones and Mazes from last year will return, as well as all the shows. So we're not getting nothing after all

I think the park would back off that idea since its a little bit maybe too similiar to SkyScreamer like you said

Six Flags America - 2 New Attractions Six Flags Great America - 1 New Attraction Six Flags Great Escape - 1 New Attraction Six Flags Magic Mountain - 5 New Attractions Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - 2 New Attractions Six Flags Fiesta Texas - 3 New Attractions Six Flags Great Adventure - 4 New Attractions Six Flags Over Georgia - 13 New Attractions (Wow... what?) La Ronde and Six Flags don't have their sites updated yet though Six Flags St Louis, Six Flags New England & Six Flags Over Texas are the only parks that have nothing new. Is it because of Justice League for Texas and St Louis? And Wicked Cyclone for New England? No clue, but im hoping what we do have is better if they're still offering the same thing.

The site is a lot different than previous years, I kinda liked the old ones better though, dunno that's just my opinion

Nothing new? But... why?

And it does appear from the video that they did stretch throughout the whole ride actually

Found a video on YouTube from 1998 that shows the chaser lights at night! Check it out:

I believe Gale Force 7 would most likely be a group of slides or something inside a Hurricane Harbor at one of the parks

So apparently Six Flags has trademarked multiple different trademarks this week, including 'Titan' (again apparently), 'Gale Force 7' and 'Total Mayhem' according to Screamscape

Correct That's interesting actually, I thought they'd keep it for old times sake at least

I truly am excited for the coming years honestly. I congratulate Dave and everyone that puts so much time and dedication into what they do for SFSTL. Not many companies go through the hardships of filing for bankruptcy and come out kicking, so I totally have upmost respect for the guys and girls that keep everything in check and really love what they do. They really do care about what they do and I think you can feel that radiating off the streets of the park. Even though everyone's been dissapointed by things in the past *COUGHBoomerangCOUGH* you've still gotta have that respect for the place. They've gone through financial hell and survived as a park, as a entire company, to tell the tale. As cheesy and stupid as it sounds, I've developed a bond with this place that I've never felt before with any other park really. Sure, I'm only 14 years old, and as a teen haven't had as much experience as most (way older) users on this forum, but I've gone through a lot of personal trauma in my life in the past, which is probably why I joined as well, because I knew where my passions were at. Not just SFSTL, but theme parks in general. I'm sure I've got a bright future ahead of me, and the same could be said about the park Hats off to Dave, Elizabeth, HWFan, TNT, and others I probably haven't mentioned, for being a part of everything I know this was all kinda ridiculous, and I'm sure I made some errors or something, but all I wanna say is thank you. Thanks everyone for giving me a place where I can conspire and feel like I'm part of a community of people who share the same interests as I do.

I don't think Six Flags would just add in a HH addition, sure they just spent a hella bunch of money on JL:BFM but it could be like the 2012 Season where we got both Mr Freeze: Reverse Blast and Bonzai Pipelines in one season. That may be a bit of wishful thinking though because all Six Flags really had to do was flip the trains, but they also repainted the entrance and added new graphics on the trains, as well as a new logo too so you never know. I honestly wouldn't be mad if they didn't give us a 4D Free Fly this year and just went for a HH addition

A moment of silence for Fred, he was taken by Joker's laughing gas

Do you know what's coming but can't tell us up front yet?

SF has done a good job hiding what they are going to be adding. Considering that we just received a huge attraction, I would not be surprised if SFSTL installed a flat ride. If there WAS something big, we would have seen items leading to its development, i.e. survey markers, old ride closings, teasers on social media, etc. All I've heard is the Green Lantern themed 4D Free Fly, but they've definitely been more hush hush than usual

You aren't kidding, I went on Wednesday and we waited almost an hour for Bonzai Pipeline. They were only running one of the slides when we were there, so that could have something to do with it. Couldn't imagine standing in nothing but swim trunks in the sun, especially when it was pretty hot that day
