Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread

[CoasterAuditor]

I only rode Roar once in 2008 and I found it pretty fun. Definitely in the upper half of wooden coasters I have ridden. I actually like both of SFAs wooden coasters more than KDs. Which therefore makes that the only thing I like about SFA more than KD

^ Whatever happened to the MF trains from SFDK's Roar?

 

They are at SFStL underneath batman. I'm pretty sure they are being used for parts for American Thunder

 

Edit: Here's proof

 

So that's just out in a guest area?

Pretty much, that's the flash pass queue/overflow

[coasterbill]

That's terrific. I love Six Flags.

the center of Titan at SFoT is used for storage too. . so while on the Coaster, you're in a helix with perfect views of: parts of the Trioka, decommissioned parking lot shuttles, and rafts from Thunder River/Roaring Rapids that are out of service.

 

Klassy!

What's funny is that they could pass this off as theming, since theming on Batman coasters usually consists of dilapidated cars and scrap metal.

For what it's worth, Mean Streak's infield always had all kinds of ride parts, extra pieces, and even Halloweekends props strewn about in clear view. It's not like every park has a giant warehouse or a ton of storage space to work with. Some have to make do.

And you can also see a bunch of crap next to millennium force as well. They used to have extra Gemini trains sitting inside of mean streaks infield. At one time, they even had a train from geauga lakes double loop coaster. I assume they were using it for parts.

[coasterbill]

Personally I feel like there's a huge difference between putting spare parts near a coaster where only eagle-eyed-enthusiasts would notice while flying by at 90 mph and putting them in a queue line but I mean... okay.

[Canobie Coaster]

Isn't the theme of Batman the Ride's queue that a beautiful Gotham park gets vandalized? Having spare coaster cars fits in perfectly.

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

And that's not the only cars they stored there over the years

from the TPR 2010 mid-america trip

[Canobie Coaster]

It's like a parking garage.

[Yubstep101]

I see Ninja trains, but what are the other coaster trains? Mega Zeph???

[mikeykaise]

The pink and white ones kind of look like the cars from Twisted Sister @ Kentucky Kingdom.

It's the Twisted Twins cars from Kentucky Kingdom, but a few years before that they had Mega Zeph there too

[DBru]

Those Twisted Twins trains were so cool.

[DarkRideNick]

Any truth to the rumor that there will be special food items this year at Holiday in the Park themed to "Nutcracker & the Four Realms"?

 

Doesn't seem likely considering the film is Disney, but Six Flags has done crazier things in the past!

[Highridin]

Let's hope that this is a bathroom for Gotham.

[DarkRideNick]

Let's hope that this is a bathroom for Gotham.

 

Most likely not. Higher ups in the parks have said its not feasible due to plumbing and the environmental laws.

Well, check this out:

idk if they are still there but Roar trains from SFDK were under there too.

[coasterbill]

The Holiday in the Park map is out.

Thank you! I love how they only change some of the names on their rides.

Very interesting. There is a need for a bathroom back there.

Six Flags America really is one of the easiest parks to divide up for Holiday in the Park with that single pathway to the back section.
