^ That and theres a bumper sticker on the tractor that's says "got aquatrax"

No there isn't

You aren't looking closely enough then.

 

True, look a little harder, you can't miss it!

[DJeXeL]

Not to mention the park has imported special dirt that's specially treated for Aquatrax footers to sit on.

I love this thread cause I always get the best scoop.

^ As in tractor scoop?

 

[cooksta77]

^Thank you someone got that pun. lol

I wish they would make a pathway thru the log jammer area to the back of the park. But I guess that would mean moving a whole lot of dirt or a tunnel. Probably too expensive.

 

Looks like that area could be used for an indoor coaster/dark ride. But we know Six Flags doesn't think outside the box.

[DefinitiveDetour]

I believe that would be thinking... "inside the box"

[eddie200330]

^Definitely, AquaTrax.

 

 

what makes you think that?

 

Because he is ERNIEFRICKINROCKER that's why!!

I keep saying this but Premier for 2013...

Now that I think of it, it could actually be an Aquatrax, and if it is,I hope it's a coaster everyone can enjoy! If it is Intamin, I would be extra happier! It's about time SFMM gets back on track (IMO) if this is Aquatrax will become a reality....

^Just out of curiosity, when was SFMM 'off-track'? O.o

[DefinitiveDetour]

when someone said... hey lets build an aquatrax.

When coaster enthusiasts and the general public alike would fan the wild fires of the Santa Clarita valley towards the park. Good times.

Please no.

I hope it's an aquatrax, since SFMM likes US Firsts. Though, I doubt it would be as good as Atlantis Adventure.

Please no.

 

^ I second that! No premier....intamin!

[rba13]

This is a prime spot in the park. If SFMM ever wanted to do it up right, this is the place to do it at. Whatever it is, it should be themed to the max.

Theming? SixFlags?

 

You'd have to tell them the definition of that, as they don't know what that word means.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

So you don't think they'll be able to recreate the Theming quality that is The Dark Knight Coasters?

[MrSum1_55]

^Keep in mind, DK's are family coasters. Extremely thrilling coasters generally come without as much theming. Realistically speaking, I believe an aquatrax is unlikely, as they want something thrilling. I guess it is possible for a halfway-descently themed ride, but heave theming is unlikely to happen.

 

If it is a giga, SFMM may not be the first park with both a hyper and a giga, but they would be the first park to have a hyper and a giga in close proximity to each other.

[coasterking2981]

It's not a matter of whether or not they can theme a ride, its a matter of if they will.

 

The park does have five themed coasters: Green Lantern, Batman The Ride, Goliath, Apocalypse, and Superman, so they are quite capable of theming a ride, and if I recall correctly one of the higher Six Flags officials did say that theming was important and that we should start expecting new attractions to have at least some theming.

 

But of course, theming costs money, so there is no guarantee that the ride will be themed at all.

 

I would personally love a well themed coaster sitting in LJ's spot (or anywhere in the park for that matter), but I can't expect too much from Six Flags now can I?

 

^That depends. There is plenty of room next to Viper for a Giga, and they could very well remove Viper to make more room for one if they needed to/wanted to.

[Chrisrad]

^ Let's hope they don't remove Viper for a long time (at least 5 years).

 

That ride is still pretty awesome, despite a little bit of head thrashing.

[cooksta77]

^When I rode it Sunday it made and my friend want off from the 2nd and 3rd loops til the brake run. I seriously couldn't wait for the ride to be over. I hope it was just a bad ride I had but its become a ride I avoid unless I have someone new visiting the park, as was the case on Sunday.

[MrSum1_55]

^^You forgot Scream. They spent millions on the parking lot theming.

[Tmcdllr]

Goliath has a theme?
