Sounds like they may be able to salvage one train using the halfs that didn't get damaged. -
Lake Compounce Discussion Thread

It opened at 4 today. Definitely a huge improvement but I agree there are still a few more spots that they should work on. Boulder Dash went down and it doesn't sound good. Might be done for the season. -
That's exactly what I was thinking when the question was asked. I don't think that I've seen anyone else with this yet. If they go this route hopefully they have the turntable or side to side loading platform for capacity at least. Turntable would seem to be the option to cut down on ops. BTW, if this is the addition then SDC's addition blows it away.

Doesn't sound as if the girl or family have anything to stand on. Police have concluded that it was her fault. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/2262847-human-error-to-blame-in-girls-fall-from-six-flags-ride-in-new-york/ -

The Great Escape (TGE) Discussion Thread

There is actually a lot more to that case than a woman spilling hot coffee on her lap. Yeah like McDs turning the temp up to a scalding 200 plus degrees so people would slow down on their free refills. Human skin melts at that temperature. No one expects coffee to be that hot. I've spilled regular temp coffee in my lap and the most I got was a sore pee pee. This lady had third degree burns and had to have skin grafts. I'm amazed how many people keep spewing this crap example even though the facts have been known for years. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Um make sure you never touch a hot thing again. You could burn yourself. Sorry just complete bs to blame someone else for spilling something in your own lap regardless of what it is. Just like it would be bs for TGE to have any responsibility for this. It's silly like the reasoning that cheaper season passes caused this issue. -

^Agree 100% on the Verruckt horry story. The rest is like McDonald's having to pay out for someone spilling coffee in their lap. Of course it's fringing hot. If you spill it in your lap it's your fault! -
^For Six Flags it's been an issue for years. I'm glad they are recognizing that it needs to improve. Honestly, outside of the dining pass, I think it will improve the bottom line if they speed things up. I've been in several lines where people leave pissed off because of the wait that didn't have the dining plan.

Robb & Elissa's European Adventures 2017!

To be honest, it didn't "suck" it just wasn't that great. It seriously was like the definition of mediocrity. Although it did suck paying that much money for really average-at-best rides... Makes sense. I'm guessing it's just different countries laws but I'm sure Disney can't like the use of their properties in a park like this. -

^One guy went to the hospital with an apparent back injury from it but on the news they said he was released. Six Flags will end up getting sued. Just such a stupid thing and unless something else comes out it wasn't even close to the park's fault. -

Wow looks like this park sucks. Would love to try a lap bar only Boomerang though. -

Great with how they caught her. Of course several news stories were saying she was severally injured and linked it to other actual theme park incidents. Obviously this wasn't a ride malfunction and glad to see that she wasn't hurt badly. -
