mlkrgr Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Peggy goes to Six Flags MM and rides Tatsu. Its very funny watching him sneak in the Discover Card entrance and trying to negotiate with the souvenir shop employee. http://www.facebook.com/DiscoverPeggy I don't want to sound like too weird, but I thought some TPR enthusiasts would like the videos.

JJ728 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Log Jammer needs a rehab. More theming. Maybe looney tune it up. Colossus, Revolution, and Log Jammer need new station buildings. I haven't checked on Roaring Rapids lately but I'm sure the station is looking a little tired. The Riddler's Revenge's facade looks like turds. There are sections torn off of the front of the building and the fake building by the entrance. Ninja's station looks like its going to splinter and fall apart (but the track and transfers sure look pretty). Sandblaster's building and Scrambler's line shade need new paint jobs. The Ben & Jerry's by Colossus looks old. Tatsu, Riddler's, Scream, and Colossus need new paint, but that's been established a while ago. Cyclone Bay's buildings look a little shabby. I think they recently refurbished Gold Rusher's station building, and it looks fine. Jet Stream also got a new tent for its loading dock and new paint on the entrance. The improvements in DC Universe cover Grinder Gearworks and Atom Smasher. All of the old Gotham area seems to be turning out great. Cyber Cafe, Food Etc, and the Johnny Rockets all are looking nice. The Orient Express stations got new paint. All of the newer coasters have good looking stations that have held up better then the old ones. Deja Vu, Superman, X, Goliath, Batman, and Tatsu's stations are all pleasant. At this point I think the only things that need an appearance uplift is everything mentioned. That and some serious gardening along most of the overgrown trees and bushes along paths. I think everything's theme is alright for now. I'd rather see them invest in the basic appearance rather then theming, but that's just my opinion. Not that I don't agree with people that say the place needs a better theme. I think with changes in themes comes better appearance, as shown by the new DC Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I hate asking these questions, but what would the mountain be like this coming Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANJLOVER14 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 ^ Overall, don't expect it to be too bad, but it is summer, so expect 30 minute waits AT LEAST for Tatsu, Apocalypse (1 train), Goliath, and of course, X2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 ^^I am going to try to give some exact predictions. X2: 2 Hours in the morning, should die down to 1 hour by 4pm Tatsu: 30 min at the beginning and end of the day, 1 hour in the middle Apoc: 30 min in the morning, 1-1.5 hour in the afternoon (with 1 train) Deja Vu: 30 min in the morning and night, 1-1.5 hour in the afternoon Riddlers: (I always go single rider on this, so I can't really give you an accurate guess) Scream: 20 min tops Goliath: 30 min tops Does this answer your question?

Tmcdllr Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 If Deja Vu still has the single rider line then 10-15 minutes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 JJ728, Roaring Rapids just got a nice rehab and the station (and ride) is looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 ^^Thanks! But, be warned. These are the closest predictions I can imagine to the real thing. My advice: run to X2 first, then hit up Tatsu, Superman, Deja, and Apoc. Goliath, while very popular, has great capacity, so lines should never be too long there.

JJ728 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 JJ728, Roaring Rapids just got a nice rehab and the station (and ride) is looking great. That's good to hear. Also, I recalled them having a shade structure over the line previously, but it was torn down (I think I noticed it around March). Is that part of the rehab?

FrightFest1408 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I really want to go to media day! I volenteer at Planet SIX taking picture and make video called GO BIG updates....How can I get into media Day? ^So random people get the email too I heard...

Jew Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It is not that simple. MEDIA day is meant for actual media outlets that will generate publicity for the park. I wouldn't recommend contacting the park, as the event is not intended for "regular" guests or small websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrightFest1408 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ^but for SEFK we were invited to media day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ^Then you might get the invite when they are sent out. Once again, it is not recommended that you contact them asking to be invited to an event that does not yet even have an official date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroG001 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 With Green Lantern opening up at the beginning of July, what do you guys think the crowds will be like on weekdays next month? I might push my visit to a further date if the crowds during opening week (before it opens) will be the same as the weeks to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 So, this might be a dumb question, but how will they get the cars onto the track since the trackwork is complete already? Will they take a section off? Is there a gap I'm not seeing? I'm really curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 ^Wild guess, installing the upstop wheels after the train is mounted on the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmcdllr Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 It could also have a removable section of track somewhere in the station area similar to Deja Vu. If they did my guess would be that its at the back end of the station just after the brake run where the last curved section meets the first straight one, or near that as I don't believe it would be near the lift.

coastercrutchfield Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but is anything in the DC Universe section going to be open before July 1st? I'm going on Jun. 20th, and I am kind of disappointed that B:TR might be closed (It's the only coaster that I didn't ride during my last visit.)

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I am kind of disappointed that B:TR might be closed (It's the only coaster that I didn't ride during my last visit.) You know you're an enthusiast when you're disappointed that a mediocre coaster is closed for the sole reason that you didn't get to ride it before. I never rode Boomerang at SFDK for the longest time because it was always closed for maintenance, and every time I went and heard it was closed, I was disappointed. Now, I could care less about it.
