a coaster type i've always wanted to see is a Rmc Invert. Now that we have a Raptor coaster this might be closer to reality.

I don't think that Six Flags raising there Pass prices would equivalate to them adding massive B&M's and providing a park experience like Cedar Fair does.

Does anyone know why joker’s jinx launches at a slower speed than poltergeist at SFFT? JJ would be even better if it went through the layout faster and it would prevent valleying.
I don't know for sure why it launches slower than it's texas counterpart but I would speculate that us has something to do with the amount of power it draws to launch.
To my knowledge JJ never fully valleyed. When JJ valleyed it was an e-stop which happens to Poltergeist as well.

^ You're saying that Six Flags should raise the price of a season pass by 4-5 times what it currently is. It's stupid because six flags would go from selling passes to an absurd amount of people to selling them to a much lower amount of people. The current pass price is about 70-80 bucks and your saying that they should raise that price to around 400 dollars. At that price point you'd pretty much only have enthusiasts willing to put that type of money up.

Am I the only one that finds that incredibly odd? You'd think that if they were, well, proud of their new addition, they'd, well, give it a name, right? I can't think of a single reason why they wouldn't give it a name, that makes no sense to me.
From what I recall, when the announcement was first made, the name was supposed to be Hurricane Force 5 or something along the lines of that. They refrained from using that name out of respect for Houston because the announcements happened soon after that.
-
I don't really understand how park management works but i'd assume that they are getting a relatively cheap addition this year for a reason. Next year is likely going to be a big year. SFA needs to have a nice bit of money invested into it.
-
I would think that corporate could shell out 12-15 mil on a park that needs it.
-
Not really. They would add a bunch of relocated flats and maybe a relocated coaster along the path. They'd also add a temporary food stall like the one in Hurricane Harbor.
-
^ Nah the path we refer to would make SFA a complete loop instead of the jumbled up mess it is now. It would run from the path that is cut off between Mind Eraser and Renegade Rapids. The path would extend through Superman and end near Batwing.
-
I don't know if y'all realized this but if they really wanted to open up a path from the creek to Gotham, there isn't much they'd have to do. The path is practically there already. They would just have to invest in fencing around Superman.
-
With Buzzsaw leaving SFNE I would like to volunteer the Creek as a new home.
I'd rather have SFOT's Troika. I think that would be a much better fit.
Let's do both. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight along the path...
As long as we leave room for Green Lantern from Magic Mountain.

Due to the quick turnover, I predict a rehashed attraction, not a tear it all down and build something new inside the building style dark ride. I'm predicting a rethemed Scooby Doo dark ride under the name of something like Suicide Squad: Battle for Fiesta Bay Boardwalk. Due to the fact that the park closed it down just this past spring to give it a constantly loading platform, I would infer that it'll use the same ride vehicles and will follow along the same track. You'll essentially drive around the Fiesta Bay Boardwalk with the Justice League shooting the Lexbots and Suicide Squad characters trying to destroy the themed area. This way it'll fit in, it'll have a popular IP worked in (Hey! They made Batman work flawlessly in the 50s section) and it will bring them a new attraction. All I can definitively say is that it'll use the same cars, on the same track, will somehow work an IP into the section, and will probably be lots of screens with some connecting sets to lower the build time, as they only have about 5 months. I could be all wrong, and I'm expecting I will be, but that's just my take
I don't think you read the post above you. The guy above literally just said that Jeffery Siebert confirmed that it would not be Justice League and will instead be something themed to the Boardwalk area.
-
I agree with you on the notion that it will not be Justice League but I do think it will be something of similar nature. Maybe a Full-blown Batman dark ride like the one in Spain. I could also see a flying theater attraction possibly themed to Superman going there.

Has the park released some concept art for the new Lazy River yet? I'm confused about how big of a project this is considering they haven't started yet.
-
^ I think Six Flags is done adding Free Spins

Am i tripping or is Roar painted white now?

It sickens me (ok, strong words) that such a big change has to occur because someone didn't follow rules. It's horrible the toddler was hurt, but the ride has ran for what... 7 decades with out incident?
I believe those were oldest PTC trains in operation. They were beautiful, super comfy and meticulously maintained. I'll kick myself over and over for not getting there more. Our society is so fearful of everything. It's really stupid. I'm sure the new PTC train (or trains?) will be nice, but what a loss. We don't have much classic rolling stock around.
You're reaching a bit. Had it been an adult I'd understand your argument but it wasn't an adult, It was a toddler. While you may not have been trying to come off as insensitive, it is a tad bit insensitive to say that all of society is scared. The decision was made out of respect for the family and to prevent an accident like this from ever happening again.

Not going to post the links or anything, but heads up; this post apparently started some controversy. This dude is spamming Instagram and Facebook to further beef with TPR because he clearly "hates drama"
Of course he is... He'll probably get more attention out of a post mentioning TPR than most of his videos. So, to RollerManDan...
Oh look, I was right...

His most viewed video in OVER A YEAR! Tell me again how this wasn't about attracting attention through creating drama, Dan. You know you could have just NOT needed to "address" it, but we know this was all about you using TPR to get attention for your page. You can fool your readers all you want, but you and I both know exactly what this is about, don't we Dan?
Glad we could help you with your page views!
He's such a hypocrite. He blocked me after I posted a comment on his page in support of you.

They are going to be running WW backwards for FF.
When I first read this for some reason I thought you were talking about wild one
You weren't the only one.
