Suspence1127 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The guy who made the leak posted on the subreddit again (although he has since deleted the post), and he declared that he made the leak up and that it’s all fake, and he just wanted to see if people would believe something a random person posted. So the Fortnite thing is most likely not happening. I guess his prediction of the Giant Discovery at Great Adventuee was just lucky, as it was very predictable. Still can’t belive people took it as fact so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsixflags Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 where is it ? the post is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspence1127 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 where is it ? the post is still there Yeah, he made 2 throwaways since he lost his account password to the first one. He deleted his entire second account, which can be seen by going into his original post and looking at the comments. I should have screenshottes his new post, I had no idea he would delete it so quickly. That’s why the original post is still there, he can’t delete it because he lost the password.

DarkRideNick Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Fortnite at Six Flags America makes a lot of sense. They have a long history of tie-ins with video games (Wii Play Center, Resident Evil Night @ Fright Fest, Street Fighter Challenge, etc). Last summer they did have a WWE 2k18 booth up with options to purchase/play. A temporary "Fortnite Summer" retheme of park attractions would be great way to drum up attendence. Transform the wave pool in to Loot Lake? Have a Fortnite dance off with Bugs Bunny flossing and Batman doing Best Mates? The possibilities are endless.

DarkRideNick Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Even if this was fake, Six Flags should take some advice: A FORTNITE PROMOTION WOULD MEAN SERIOUS $$$ FOR YOUR PARKS! IT FITS YOUR TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRideNick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Last minute predictions before the announcement tomorrow? My top 3 are: Conversion of Apocalypse to Floorless WITH a Fortnite retheme Mega Disko WITH a DC Comics theme (possibly Fortnite themed) Interactive Dark Ride WITH a Fortnite theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Apocalypse floorless conversion and I really hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamedturtle Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Who knows. I think if SFGA doesn't get a coaster, then SFA likely will. I took my final stand today, and I just don't see this coaster being good even as a floorless. But if they get rid of it, there are certainly things that Six Flags could do that I would like less than a conversion. I'm prepared for disappointment lol Took some photos I like though...

Highridin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I believe it will be good as a floorless, and we will probably enjoy more of the theming while riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 My final prediction is a floorless conversion, and I hope so; of course I'd rather see a Raptor, but yeah right. Though, I'm already prepared to be disappointed, with a side of butthurt to go with it, especially after what happened last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterAuditor Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If this is a floorless conversion that that will make 3 of the last 4 years where the new attraction was what I would like to call a "slight improvement of an existing attraction." Anything is better than nothing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRideNick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Though, I'm already prepared to be disappointed, with a side of butthurt to go with it, especially after what happened last year. As long as it involves Fortnite in some capacity, it can't be more disappointing than teasing a big new ride and actually just giving us a longer lazy river with 3 water features.

Yeah those announcements sure are fun it's like "AMAZING NEW RIDE FOR EVERY SIX FLAGS (not SFA)." Granted those of us with SFA as the closest Six Flags to us can just go to another park in the area.

robbalvey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Maryland’s First Floorless Roller Coaster to Debut at Six Flags America in 2019 Epic Thrill Ride, FIREBIRD, Takes Flight UPPER MARLBORO, MD — August 30, 2018 — Six Flags America, DC’s Thrill Capital, today announced FIREBIRD, the only floorless roller coaster in Maryland, will open in spring 2019. This all-new coaster experience will take thrill-seekers through incredible twists, drops and inversions, all while seated in state-of-the-art floorless trains. “Six Flags is always taking thrilling innovation to the next level,” said Park President Rick Howarth. “FIREBIRD is a game-changer; offering guests an unparalleled, new riding experience. The floorless trains will give riders the sensation of being airborne as they soar along a half-mile of track with nothing beneath their feet but the wind.” FIREBIRD’s exhilarating flight path takes off with a heart pumping, nine-story drop, and features two thrilling inversions and a smoother, faster riding experience. FIREBIRD highlights: · Two state-of-the-art sit-down floorless trains, precision designed and built by Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard ; · Multiple high-banked curves with high-speed carousel and corkscrew rolls; and · A twisted airtime hill plus an adrenaline pumping figure-eight finale. Guests will be able to bid farewell to Apocalypse on September 8 with special ride times offered to Members and members of American Coaster Enthusiasts. FIREBIRD is scheduled to open spring 2019.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm willing to give this a try with floorless trains. The layout is small but actually not that bad if you remove the headbanging from those stand-up OSTRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm excited about this! Never made it out to SFA yet, but rode Apocalypse when it was Iron Wolf, and as with most Standups, "meh"... So any Floorless conversion is a good Floorless conversion to me! (Though, I'd like to check out Georgia Scorcher while it's still a stand-up, since it's regarded as one of the better ones - I'm glad it didn't get the conversion treatment this year!)

steamedturtle Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Are the new trains going to be six or seven cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Finally! After all of the laughing and clowning that Six Flags would never invest in this park, and making this conversion, they proved everyone wrong. Looking forward to seeing if anyone is all torn up over this. This is great. We've been talking about this happening for years. Well, it happened.

boldikus Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Biggest surprise of the morning for me. I truly cannot believe they are hanging onto this hunk-o-junk. At least you guys aren't losing a coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCHeadache Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'll gladly take it. SFA's coaster lineup is now decently well-rounded. Hyper, woodies, launch, flier, (awful) invert, and now a looper. So glad it's not Fortnite like that awful hoax said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
