I'm not real clear on how, exactly, putting a clone of the ride in Georgia detracts from the experience of the ride in St. Louis. Please enlighten me. A reasonable explanation is a decent number of people live between parks, and those of us in the area want to see our park do well. A park 6 hours to the north and 8 hours to the east also having our supposedly star attraction hurts SFSL. Yes I get that Six Flags wants multiples of successful rides, but it absolutely hurts the original parks. The BTTR clones probably slowed the transformation of SFGA into a flagship.

I don't know how to tell another person to check it, but it's in the app or the season pass website. That week is bring a friend for $22. It'll be more crowded but obviously way less so than free. SFSTL also moving in on the poke-craze. Holiday World was pushing Pokemon Go before SFSL. Not to keep felatiating them, but they did

The apocalypse is here. Imos has defected.

I hope that map is only for lighting displays. Batman seems to be outside a shaded area, even Mine Train - that'd be fun with a little snow cover. Also American Thunder might be outside the shading.

I just hate the concept of the fixed corporate upgrade budgets. Especially with such historical rides in need of care - this shouldn't be held against the park. I feel like a broken record.

Heh. I'll be in Great America the 25th and 26th.

Well they clearly treat Cedar Point differently, but you just explained my point. Six Flags does have tiers, and the difference in them is dramatic - Cedar Fair doesn't and the superiority of that policy is evident.

In case we needed more proof that Cedar Fair handles their second tier parks better than Six Flags does.

Stuff will really get real when commercials start popping up during Cardinal games lol Featuring Matt Holliday?

Did the park get a shipment of mogwai that they fed after midnight or something?

Man Holiday World really is pushing hard in the StL market. Six Flags Corp has to be taking note of this right?

It's all horrible. The restaurant has been on fire for days and there is still an hour long line for food. VR is blinding people and the roller coaster is literally snapping their necks it's so rough. Over at JL, thanks to bad ops, someone flipped a safety toggle and Cyborg's laser started going off, randomly vaporizing guests (although this did reduce queue time somewhat). The HITP preview got mixed up with the Fright Fest preview and now Krampus is making every child in the park cry uncontrollably. Some trickster - I suspect Wily E. Coyote - installed vibration motors in all the Boss's trains so it's rougher than ever. Worse still I had to drive a full 30 minutes to get to the park but my built in seat massagers were broken so I got drop toes. This all could have been avoided. If only we had gotten Goliath instead of Georgia. Thanks Six Flags. At least Batman hasn't started rattling. It'd take 15 consecutive acts of god to make a B&M rattle I'd think.

Superman really hasn't worked out has it? How long has it been reduced capacity due to the first major failure?

Why would you think we've seen the last of it? As far as hardware failures and derailments go it was relatively minor.

I'm starting to get the feeling we're at a crossroads with SFSL. Either we get the cash we need to actually make it work or... Competitors are actively engaging the market and anecdotally that is creating interest. It doesn't hurt both have run a better park the last decade and a half. If Cedar Fair also decides to market WoF that'd be another one to fight. It isn't like WoF is densely packed, from what I can tell they have some room for new additions. Cedar Fair strikes me as a company not afraid to invest if they have aspirations for a park. Taking over the heartland wouldn't be a small aspiration.

I see this was your first post. Welcome to the forums. And it was a good one. I will.apparently avoid this hot mess.

I just noticed on my last visit, as I was waiting for Fireball, the sign telling what lies ahead still has Calicos Chicken on it. I thought that was very odd. Best thing I could see would make this a chicken place, and redo old Loney Tunes Cafe as just Go Fresh. One side can be to place orders with the other to pick them up. The isn't the building that is being made into a HitP preview center is it? No the small building across from the Mine Train entrance is the preview center. If the kitchen in former-Calicos has actually been in use to help produce food they could open a restaurant this year. I would expect anything not currently on a menu though. I'd imagine the turnaround on something new would be higher. It'd take some cash to open one if they weren't already using the building too.

Yay!! Six Flags finally managed to make something work!!!! That was suppose to work all along... Yeah I actually filed an email complaint on it.

I agree! I think we can all agree with this. The entire queue could use TLC in general anyway. The 'park' in front actually looks more run down than the 'slums' in back now in some ways.

They were on last week except for the one in the first queue room (it's not really needed since it will loop a minimum of two times in the second room). Maintenance might have forgotten to enable them in the morning as the are separate from Cyborg's audio and movement and the main screens and audio in the loading area. They were also off on Saturday. See this is the stuff Disney and Paramount/Cedar Fair get right. I don't mean to draw the comparison, but I do.

Why are the TVs off in the Justice League queue this year? They greatly help make the line seem shorter.

Yeah. Best not to mess with young eyes.

There also appears to be a Ninja spike and Batman spike. Tony Hawk and Evel Knievel also seem to have moved the needle. Is the 1986-1987 increase potentially in response to Colossus? The 1992 increase I can't fathom though. Tidal Wave was the year prior (and while I remember quite the marketing blitz obviously wasn't too special)

Intamin or S&S? Either way I'm not a fan of another cookie-cutter. But at least this would actually be a coaster and could be marketed as one without making me cringe. Guess we'll take what we can get. Might need to see about improving traffic flow with a new high capacity ride though.
