Highridin Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I hear u! Here's hoping for a sky screamer. If he gives me anymore clues, I will be back...lol
real_cameron Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Six Flags America put up the park map and OMG!!! Â THEY ARE CONNECTING MARDI GRAS TO GOTHAM CITY!! If you've been to this park, you know that this park has a lot of dead ends and Mardi Gras/Southwest Territory is the worst! They are finally connecting them together!! You don't understand how exciting this is for me!! Â (not sure if this has been mentioned already, I haven't been on this thread in a while)
Highridin Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Lol,..yeah it's been mentioned. It is big news. More than the new ride I'm looking forward to Thursday. My daughter is salty that a school make up day was scheduled for that day, but they get out two hours early. We are going there right after she gets out; about 12pm.
I305forever Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 ^ It was always so inconvenient to get from the Wild One to Gotham! I'm glad they decided to do something about it! I never really expected them to.
cfc Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm in favor of anything that makes Six Flags America easier to navigate.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Now they just need A Path from Batwing to Coyote Creek. Â Â Say what you will about Jim Reid and the current management, But at least they are "fixing" Six Flags America (Retheming of Southwest Territory (Which was a bad by Six Flags standards Themed Area), New-ish Coasters, Flat Rides, Connecting Midways, Cool ideas for Shows, Etc.)
Highridin Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I don't know what I'm most excited about: the rides or using my new deluxe dining pass...lol.. It's the
coasterbill Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 THEY ARE CONNECTING MARDI GRAS TO GOTHAM CITY!! Â Thank god, that dead end was awful.
boldikus Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 One person that is supposedly in the know  Dippin Dots guy?
mike541x Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 ^^Agreed. Pretty much all the dead ends in this park are bad, although personally I think the dead end where Batwing sits is the worst one. Â Now they just need A Path from Batwing to Coyote Creek. Â I'd like to see this done sometime in the future. A path connecting these two areas would not only help guest getting to one side of the park to the other, but also help for future expansion. I think there's quite a bit of room right next to Superman's helix for another major attraction.
Highridin Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Had a good time at the park today. Normal first day delays. Nothing serious. funniest thing of today was the four maintenance people trying to figure out what was wrong with the carousel.. . News flash: all three sides were working on the drop tower.
Jman0477 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 That's the first time I have seen all 3 sides of Voodoo Drop running in many years
CoasterLover Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 How is Bourbon Street Fireball? Â Just dirt and footers at the moment...
Password121 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Thats... oh boy. So no shortcut to Gotham until then?
real_cameron Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I think a connection between Coyote Creek and Gotham City will happen when Six Flags, as a company, finally starts to remove SLC's from parks (Mind Eraser really needs to go and be replaced with something else.... anything else, lol)!!! Also, I think if "Roar" gets a RMC treatment, they could create a layout that gives Six Flags America space to expand behind the Roar and connect Chesapeake with Gotham City, going in between Apocalypse and Roar's break run.
Highridin Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Thats... oh boy.So no shortcut to Gotham until then? Â I think so. I saw the path. Just dirt right now.

Â Â How about remove Renegade Rapids and build a path to Gotham City/ Batwing? Â Â I rode it in 06 and found it mediocre. Course that will mean insanely long lines for Shipwreck Falls and Penguins.
Highridin Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Lol,..I like the Rapids OK. Here's some news. While I was on Roar, I saw some clearing going on next to the first Superman Helix. Probably nothing.

Password121 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 ^Skull Mountain, an Intamin flume ride, was replaced by Apocalypse. SFA was a rare park woth four water rides until 2011. Renegade Rapids is a rather uneventful raft ride, so I wouldnt have much issue with it being replaced. Penguins is just a piece of spinning garbage. Its awful. Id love that to be replaced with a decent coaster or expansion, but it seems unlikely. Shipwreck Falls is really the only decent water ride.
coasterbill Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 SFA already has one horrifically ugly walkway through an open field with no trees, theming, bathrooms or anything of interest anywhere... why are people clamoring for another one?

Â Â Cause a pathway from Batwing to Mind Eraser would make the park a complete loop and eliminate 2 dead ends and allow better crowd flow.
