DJeXeL Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 To be fair......they do need another water attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperLover Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 ^Definitely. They are taking out many family attractions for new coasters. I have no problem with it, but families do. For the next few seasons, Six Flags should focus on repopulating the family ride count starting with a water ride. It will help even out the age groups hanging out at the park.

simaticable Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Right...and Scream should actually have a theme besides a parking lot... Â Not happening. It's not what the "YOLO" crowd wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacoaster09 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Maybe they can make the closure useful and make some final modifications to the ride. Basically, this would be a great opportunity to possibly modify the tunnel (make it a larger diameter so that they can take off the arm covers on the cars). Wishful thinking but highly doubted.

daveydo5172 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 How about next winter they close it and have a "NYE Ball Drop" from the tower with a large concert their at the park, some mega-band! Never mind, thats kinda lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legoguy1395 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 So could YOLO's construction actually pick up now? I read somewhere that something something finial budget they had to wait for the end of the year to start building. So they might be starting soon.

SFMMGeek27 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Three of SFMM's trams are parked in the yard behind Apocalypse. Wonder if the rumor about the new buses or trams is true? Strange.

I read somewhere that something something finial budget they had to wait for the end of the year to start building. So they might be starting soon. This may actually be true (while also kinda pathetic) since Six Flags uses a calendar year end as their fiscal year end.  What is Six Flags’ fiscal year end? The company’s fiscal year end is December 31 of each calendar year. Edited January 1, 2013 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
