bostonlva Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm kind of shocked sites like scremscape have not heard any rumors. Usually they have about 2 or three rumors by now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMountainMan Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I only said it jokingly, Magic Mountain isn't getting a RMC T-Rex giga for 2017. It is 100% not happening I was just echoing all of our deepest, darkest, (wettest?) dreams. It's just not happening next year. Also, theatrical effects like the ones that Justice League uses don't fall under the maintenance umbrella, they fall to a different department that has a good team of people. Not saying maintenance doesn't have good team, but you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 ^ Can they take care of gum tagging and sticky, dirty floors? I'm already used to the idea of a Justice League, a couple of re-themes and possibly a flat like Cat Woman Whip. This is what I have heard anyway. Not even looking for a coaster until the announcement of either Viper or Ninja's closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even looking for a coaster until the announcement of either Viper or Ninja's closure. I really hope they don't close Viper, I would much rather see it get new trains like Ninja at SFOG. Viper is still one of my favorite Arrow loopers and is one of the park's iconic rides. Now, I might change my tune if we got a giga in Viper's spot. But unless that happens, I'd like to see it get some TLC and new trains in the near future. Edited June 6, 2016 by VegasBaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I don't think Viper is going anywhere, if anything maybe they'll give it the Ninja treatment and retheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Not even looking for a coaster until the announcement of either Viper or Ninja's closure. I hate both of these ideas. They're actually both very good coasters and Ninja might be the best in the park besides Batman, Tatsu and probably Yolocoaster and Twisted Colossus though I haven't ridden them yet.

Stonem Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I'm just waiting for 2017 announcement video in order to book my flight. I have never been in California so this will be my first time, do you guys think in July I will certainly find the (probably) new coaster/ride open? I don't know how the things work in Six Flags, but I think they never opened a ride after July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If you've never been to California before, I wouldn't bother waiting for what is probably going to be a crappy Justice League dark ride that will pale in comparison to every dark ride that Disney, Knott's and Universal have, all of which will be new to you when you go.

Six Flags typically has their new rides open Memorial Day weekend, so you should be fine coming in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_cliff Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Curious to know how the S&S 4D Free Spin rides compare to the Intamin Zack Spins like Green Lantern/Insane. Has anyone here ridden both? I'm visiting Fiesta Texas soon and I'm really apprehensive to try their Batman because Green Lantern: First Flight here at SFMM is absolutely unbearable and I'm always left in god aweful pain afterwards, and I'm a pretty heathy and fit young man who can take a bit of a beating on Viper or pre-TNR and not be too perturbed by it.

I rode Green Lantern back in March, and just rode Joker at SFGAdv a little while back. The S&S rides are MUCH more comfortable and do not beat you within an inch of your life. Otherwise, though, it's pretty much the same sort of experience with a very similar layout. If you're interested in riding it again but in less pain, go for it, otherwise you won't really be missing much other than a credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some terrible things about Green Lantern at SFMM, and I'm willing to bet you'll like the Freespins way more. The restraints are nice and comfy and it's nice and smooth. It is a little disorienting but not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disliked both. I guess I like Batman more than the torture machine that is GL:FF... But I wouldn't really want to reride it now. I found the restraints really uncomfortable on my collarbones, just like X-Flight and Wild Eagle. Maybe I'm a baby? Or maybe getting thrown into my collar bones and then a hard plastic seat repeatedly isn't really my thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ridden both. Green Lantern is hit or miss. I've had ok rides on it (nothing spectacular) and had painful rides on it. I got a couple of rides in on Batman at SFFT last summer, and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. It was smooth, comfortable, and didn't beat me in the slightest. I would have ridden more, but I was having a difficult time tearing myself away from Iron Rattler. Don't be apprehensive about Batman, it's a fun, well-made ride.

Mater Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Green Lantern is absolutely amazing. The intensity is unmatched, and that final turn into the brakes can be one of the most fun elements out there depending on your orientation through it.
