coneyislandchris Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I find it interesting that both SFA and SFDK are getting rides named "Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth", but they aren't the same. SFA is getting a FunTime Starflyer, while SFDK is getting a Zamperla Giant Discovery. Yeah, and the last one to use that name was a Round-Up out at SFMM. They've got the IP rights, gotta make the most of it.
Jason Maier Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 ta daaa https://www.sixflags.com/america/attractions/galactic-attack-virtual-reality-coaster  I wonder if it'll have certain "VR only" hours like Superman: Ride of Steel did last season . . .  I'll give it a shot
Rayj Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 The VR for mind eraser should be put on hold until it gets the same train as the one in New England. Either SFA gets brand new trains or borrows new England's during the summer. However, I think that is not likely and park goers will suffer the head banging VR experience lol. Don't be surprised if it stops working right after the first drop.
Highridin Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I only get my ears pounded on the final corkscrew..lol..

I frankly don't care if they put a crappy VR experience on a crappy ride... lol
PKI Jizzman Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Welp, looks like 2017 is turning into a big theme park year for me. Â I'll be visiting on Friday in the last week of April. Woah, that's in 4 weeks. I'm excited to ride Superman and Wild One a couple times and dip.
Jason Maier Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Well . . . I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Â I'll see how many times I ride the Wild One and I'll give the VR on Mind Eraser a try.
Highridin Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Well . . . I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'll see how many times I ride the Wild One and I'll give the VR on Mind Eraser a try.  Me too. If you see a guy with a 11 year old, and a Terps hoodie, that's me.
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Looks like I am going to have some free time on our vacation, so I am going to swing by the park one evening for a few hours. Never been to the park, and I don't really know what to expect. Honestly, I just want to get to experience a few new coasters, and then move on.

DoinItForTheFame Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 ...You should try the rodeo(breakdance) and flyers as well. Â Spinning rides and I don't get along very well. . . Nobody on, or near the ride would be happy with me if I rode it!

Never been to the park, and I don't really know what to expect. Honestly, I just want to get to experience a few new coasters, and then move on. Â The park is very small. Must rides are Wild One, Jokers Jinx and Superman:ROS. Their drop tower is small but good. Roar was running really well in 2016. It's a pretty dumpy park (sorry locals!) but there are some fun rides. I've never had an issue with employees or other guests. For good mixed drinks check out Hurricans near Wild One. That's all I got.
Highridin Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 I can't wait to ride Roar today. For the record, that's the first time I've said or thought that in many years.
Highridin Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Here's the 100 year dedication..lol.. someone here said that there is something else planned too. Some tracking. Graphics on the trains. Runs flawless. Post pics of WW soon.

Â Hopefully I will be able to get all the "must rides" knocked out in a few hours!! *fingers crossed* If not, there's always next year! Â Their drop tower is small but good. Â I think once I survive Zumanjaro the day before, I'll be good to tackle any drop tower!
MisterBrow Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 Baltimore NBC did a little piece on ME VR Â http://www.wbaltv.com/article/six-flags-america-unveils-mixed-reality-experience/9208737
SLCHeadache Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Went today to get my season pass. Â Pleasant surprise: XSupremacy's stand-up coaster riding tip over in the Carowinds thread page 838 worked for Apocalypse. Unpleasant surprise: I spent most of my VR ride on Mind Eraser trying to keep the headset on. Â My other hobbies have me in the DC area a few times over the summer, so I'm looking forward to adding a few hours at the park to those trips.
Highridin Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Great first day. I was actually surprised that the ops moved so fast on the first day. When Batwing has 2 minute dispatches, that makes for a good day. All other rides, save for Mind Eraser had pretty short (less than 1 to 1 :20 second) waits the entire day. Â More crowded than any other opening day that I've seen. Got plenty of re-rides. Â Roar: Still running like new Wild One: running superbly Superman: Not running as it should because of the temp, but still ok Mind Eraser VR: dispatches were good for a VR Coaster. Experience was pretty good. Fireball: Great. Yes, I like the Fireball. JJ: same as always. Newly painted trains. Apocalypse: sucks as always Ragin Cajin: long line as always, but good Batwing: Running great, but seemed slower than usual at the end. Dispatches were actually pretty good. Â Shows: EFX is back! Excellent! Doing other shows today. Will be posting pics in a few minutes. Â Food: They have a new Mexican place in Chesapeake. Had a quesadilla. Not too bad. Â Misc. Some of the light sockets from HITP are still up. They decided to leave Santas house intact. They put the arcade around it.
djackson Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Are there any SFA fan-pages out there. It seems like every other park in the chain has its own fan page except for SFA.
coasterbill Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Are there any SFA fan-pages out there. Â Â There's a Facebook group but nobody ever posts in it because this park sucks.
Whizzer Whiz Kid Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Anyone know of any changes on the Dining Pass this year? I haven't been able to find the 2017 guide yet.
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Wow. All the "this park sucks" post made me think I was in the Six Flags St. Louis thread for a few minutes. Looks like I need to lower my expectations for this park even more. . . Wait... I doubt that's possible.
Highridin Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 There are 3. One of them posts a lot during the season. Another posts a lot during the season and fright fest. Sfafans, sfafansite, and six flags America connoisseurs. All on FB. The latter is a great group. There are three because this park is great.. well.. fun
