CoasterAuditor Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Yeah if you click on the link for any of the attractions it gives you a "page not found" error and then on the app the bubble on the map doesn't appear for anything in Coyote Creek or Whistlestop Park. It's very bizarre and I hear SFDK shut down a few rides as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 If they are closing off those areas, I'd gander it has more to do with staffing than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomly closing rides just for the fun of it is what they live and breathe for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zand Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Not familiar with SFA's Whistlestop Park, but if it's as small and pointless as the one at SFNE, no big loss there. And then isn't Coyote Creek just Mind Eraser and a flat or two? If anything, closing those areas off might make SFA less terrible. As long as Superman, Jokers Jinx, Wild One, and the Drop Tower are open they could just go all Lakemont on the rest of the place for all I care lol.

Jason Maier Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sometimes I wonder if the future for Six Flags America is bleak. I mean I like Wild One, Superman: Ride of Steel, Joker's Jinx, Harley Quinn Crazy Spin .... but they have protentional, just .... there's a je ne sais quoi about it all? But hey, no Mind Eraser to torment people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It might be a little early to assume there are any major changes at the park just because the ride pages aren't loading properly; Bassoul probably just fired the web devs for spending money on software licenses or something.

This is very true. SF websites are known to not be the most reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 This sucks for the kids. They only have 2 kids areas and one is now completely shut down. Families are just better off taking their littles to Dutch Wonderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if these areas open on weekends when they have more staff. I also hope I'm wrong and Mind Eraser is closed because it's on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryonisys Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The sign for the area they're closing off at Darien Lake indicates that it they're opening it on the weekends, here's hoping they open up sections at SFA over the weekend too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Maier Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 In case anyone cares (or not) ... an image with the special events at Six Flags America for the 2023 season: (source https://www.sixflags.com/america/events) Interesting that Holiday in The Park is not listed. No great shakes there .... with Gotham City closed (no Superman: Ride of Steel, Joker's Jinx, WW:LOT, Harley Quinn Spinsanity) .... not much to do at SFA for HITP anyway.

coasterbill Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Holiday in the Park was my favorite time of year at this park, but this has been reported for about a year now so I'm not surprised to see it all-but-confirmed. The event is apparently gone from every park north of Atlanta aside from Great Adventure. Hopefully this isn't the last year for that event since there will be absolutely nobody there, as there's nobody there any day of the year anymore.

disownedpear Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Holiday at the park 2021 was the best time I have ever had a Six Flags park. It's such a shame to lose it but it was dead last year, compared to the halloween event where they hit capacity a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastersandhockey Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hey Six Flags America locals (do those exist?)! I might stop by the park this weekend on the way back to Ohio from Williamsburg but I'm seeing Superman listed as Temporarily closed. Is that true? If it is I can't see us making the side trip. Another question is if anybody is familiar with nearby Adventure Park USA and can tell me if their coasters would be operating this weekend? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'm "local" in that the parks are like an hour and a half drive for me, but I haven't been in a few years. No idea what's up with Superman at SFA. Typically, when they had Holiday in the Park, the whole back half of the park would be closed, but there is no Holiday in the Park this year, so it's anyone's guess as to if that "Temporarily Closed" is left over from last weekend or was posted in anticipation of this weekend. Other rides in the area don't say that, so I wouldn't think the whole section of the park would be closed. Adventure Park USA is always a bit of a coin flip as to if their coasters will be running, even in the summer. The website indicates that the "outdoor attractions" will be open on Saturday and Sunday, so I'd say your best bet is to call them when you're nearing where ever you would turn off to head there. Be advised that they can only run one 4-person car on the Wildcat, so if there's any kind of a crowd (which there probably won't be), you might have a wait.

I'll call adventure park later today and see what I can find out. It sounds like you're as puzzled as I am with Superman. I knew it was always closed for HITP but figured since they aren't doing that this year Superman would stay open these couple weekends. Six flags gonna six flags I guess.

If it is I can't see us making the side trip. Yes, I believe this is accurate, it was not running when I visited on Oct 30th, and an acquaintance of mine who works at the park mentioned there was a maintenance issue they ran into that will keep the ride down until next season. When I go the Adventure Park USA website, they list some hours for the outdoor rides, but when I go to the section of the websites on outdoor rides there's a big banner that says "Outdoor rides will reopen next spring" so I would assume that overrules the hours posted elsewhere on the site.

coastersandhockey Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 So for those interested, I called Adventure Park USA and the nice woman on the phone told me that they plan to operate the coasters as long as it is not raining and the temperature is above 40 degrees!
