ericthewanderer Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Ah, so they're finally taking advantage of the new height limits. What's it now? I think the previous was 200 feet. The previous limit was 200 feet and that was started back in the Wild World days,mostly because almost no rides back then were being built that high.About 3 years ago the zoning commission stated they were willing to give more leeway for height,as well as letting the park stay open until midnight.
Schrecken Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 It's about time that they've gotten this ride going since a starflyer was what many were saying the park would get a couple of years ago when they got their height restriction lifted. I'm just glad they've finally gotten something that I could look forward to riding.
Jcoaster Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Hopefully the weather holds up that I can still go this weekend.
Highridin Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 here ? Â A little to the left, then up some. They were surveying land there some time ago.
Geauga Dog Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Having finally caught up on all the announcements this one is my favorite - totally not expected amongst all the Justice Leagues and 4D Free Spins (also nice to see a couple Zamperla Giant Discovery rides though I admit I originally thought this Wonder Woman was one of them). Â Now if Six Flags could just get away from all the superhero themed rides and actually come up with something, dare I say it, original it would be a welcome relief.
Highridin Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Funny, I've heard others say that too (this forum and others). I like the addition, but would love the dark ride. Looks like a trip to SFGAdv is going to happen next year.

What I believe that you are definitely right about is the water coaster. I think that is in 2018. Right now, I'm going to enjoy the Lasso, and the other upgrades that will come next year.

But I can see a water coaster replacing penguin in 2018. 2017 should be a good year, especially if wild one's 100th birthday is acknowledged.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 ^ Why the heck would they put a water coaster in the middle of the dry park? That makes no sense.

The coaster is a water park ride (need bathing suits).
Highridin Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Found some more light wrapped trees. Will post more after the day is done.
palmerleeberry Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Well, it's about time the Six Flags America is getting their own Skyscreamer ride and calling it "Wonder Woman". With all the other Six Flags parks having their own Skyscreamers except Six Flags America made that park look like The Black Sheep of the Six Flags Family . Plus, knowing my experiences riding all those other Skyscreamers, I can honestly tell you those rides make look intimidating, but they are smooth rides (After riding my first one in Six Flags St. Louis, I thought the husband of my half-sister -who lives in Bloomington, IL- could handle this ride even though he was sick at the time and hates anything that's rough and tough. 'Tis a pity he died a two years ago. )! Â As with the discussion of where're they gonna put it? I was thinking the spot where the old Kryton Comet (later replaced by the Flying Bobs, and now replaced with tables ) would be the best place to put it. That area could use another flat ride to join the ??? RIDDLE ME THIS ??? and the surrounding coasters and spinning raft ride. Another spot I was thinking about was the huge gap between Superman and Batwing, so guest can have two attractions to walk to instead of the only one. Â But no matter where it goes, Wonder Woman will be the ride that will be most welcomed and best loved.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 You guys finally get a new ride that isn't relocated, Not a waterpark attraction and is over 50ft. Â Â Although If I could, I'd love to replace our Joker with your Wonder Woman ride.

The coaster is a water park ride (need bathing suits). I mean like a long flume type of coaster, kind of like skull mountain's replacement
Highridin Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted some pics of where i saw lights. Same places as always, but there are new ones in the front where you drive in. Didn't get the Mardi Gras pic near Wild One. Front where you drive in. Near the theatre and the stunt arena. Close to Roar
Rollercoaster Rider Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 Good luck making an SLC Smoother, Morey's Piers and Kentucky Kingdom have tried. They either need to get rid of the square wheels or not have gaps between the wheels and track?

blk_mamba Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I am happy SFA has a ride they are adding to the dry park that may actually make me want to come back to the park! Wish it was a little taller but I won't complain, lol
Jcoaster Posted September 5, 2016 Posted September 5, 2016 Had a decent visit to the park today. Took a spin on everything besides the spinning coaster and Batwing. Trip report from this weekend will be up in the upcoming days.
ImNotOneOfYou Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 2017 should be a good year, especially if wild one's 100th birthday is acknowledged.  Sorry I'm late, but  Repeat after me...  Theme Parks Do Not Give A Single Sh*t About Wood To Steel Coaster Ratios, Anniversaries Or Bull*** Coaster Feature Quotas Like Number Of Inverting Coasters Or Stupid Sh*t Like That  ... God damn  If I was 21 I'd make this a drinking game
