[COASTER FREAK 11]

^I got stuck on that damn ride in 35* weather! I was freezing!

[daveydo5172]

Chaos rides are/were so notorious for breakdowns that most parks couldn't get rid of them fast enough....

[John Knotts]

Riptide at Knotts seems closed twice as often as its open. I've only ridden the Damn thing once. Surprisingly drop towers seem the most reliable of flats. S&S manufactures my personal favorite flat rides.

^Their coasters....not so much

[daveydo5172]

^ uhmm...Powder Keg

[MrSum1_55]

In the past few pages, we have mentioned Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, Knott's, and Cedar Point. Is this really the SFMM thread?

[daveydo5172]

^Your absolutely right....back to MM...since I dont have a Facebook page anymore...has SFMM posted any more pics on what was in the box!

[fatdaddy]

Green Lantern, SFMM, I like these things.

From Six Flags' Facebook:

It takes time to build a Super Coaster … and we need just a little more of it. GREEN LANTERN: First Flight will make its much-anticipated debut Friday, July 1, just in time for the 4th of July holiday weekend.

Well, looks like another date pushed.

Wooo, delayed once more. At least it gives me more time to fix my car to road trip down there.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Great, I already got the press day (June 17th) off of work. Will most likely be the last week in June now.

Hey maybe if it gets delayed again we'll actually be back in town for Media Day!

[cooksta77]

I'm wondering why it's delayed when the track work is complete just covering their @$$es or what? Or is this because they aren't gonna be done with DC Universe?

Woah, looks like Cardboard Green Lantern has both of his arms partly cut off! I hope they balance it against some walls/more theming so they don't show up!

[JJ728]

Ouch, that hurts... Not much I have to say about this besides that.

[SaweetDude04]

Seems like they don't have the best luck with opening 4D coasters...X was delayed quite a bit, luckily GL isn't delayed as much. Can't wait to ride this in September!

[ZeroG001]

That's disappointing news, as I was planning on visiting this month and hoping it would be open. Oh well, I'm satisfied with their current collection of coasters, so I don't mind waiting until a later trip to ride it. Sucks for non-So Cal people, though, who were planning on coming a long way to ride it opening day or later this month.

[X2coasterfreak]

Way to go SFMM! You guys do a darn good job with opening rides. Can't wait to ride Memorial Day 2012

[deathbydinn]

^ Yeah, how dare they make you wait another two weeks. Rides have problems, SFGAM's Deja Vu didn't open until October of its first year, and thats a park thats only open until October! Hell, even MM's roller skater took two years! You're getting a kick ass new coaster that can't be ridden anywhere else in America. I think you can handle another 14 days

[chickenbowl]

But really though, it's been delayed from memorial day to July 1st. I'm disappointed because I have to reschedule a planned trip. It's a big deal when you live 3+ hours away.

[atem122]

I mean, the only problem I have is people acting like it's an SFMM exclusive problem. Both DCA and Knott's have had rides/attractions pushed back to July this year, so either they're all unlucky, or they all suck.

[X2coasterfreak]

^^ Exactly why this ticked me off so much. ^And I' not saying SFMM is bad, it's just that they have a chronic case of delaying rides. If they can't ever settle on an opening date, then wait untill you know you can get the project done.

Did they ever say it was set to open Memorial Day weekend? I thought all they were saying was late Spring.

[chadster]

I'm just happy they got the roller skater open. Yes, I'm a whore.

[cooksta77]

They never confirmed Memorial Day just everyone ASSUMED it would and you know what they say about assuming. Technically it's only been delayed once and it's a first of it's kind here in America so I think we can wait for it and stop complaining.
