Highridin Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 According to most rumors and unconfirmed sources, Apocalypse will close on the 16th and receive floorless trains. The current trains are going to B&M for historic purposes. Where'd you get the info on the trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 The coaster is closing in 4 days without any warning from the park?... yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I hope it's still open in a couple weeks when I'm there, but I'm all for floorless conversions to better the quality of a ride. I think standups have long since run their course and should be phased out, in my opinion. Vortex/Patriot at CGA is probably the closest comparison, and that's extremely fun as a smaller, more compact floorless. I've been wondering if/when we start to see Six Flags convert their standups also. It's only a matter of time I'd guess, but makes an interesting decision for the parks that already have a traditional floorless in their lineup.

jarmor Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I guess it will go as other announcements have gone where they will ANNOUNCE the closing of the ride on that particular day, but it will operate until a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Maybe they mean that 8/16 is the terminus of their jankyass support on Apocalypse. New for 2018: Apocalypse gets a new support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This is the post from this weekend... "voices from the past are speaking to you. Could it be Deja Vu?" Possibly shuffle of Goliath at Six Flags New England to here? That was called Deja Vu in the past, correct? Also, that would bring back a inverted boomerang which I miss. Loved Two Face.

Rayj Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My bold prediction: apocalypse gets removed for a rmc raptor or s&s 4d. (A raptor would be the best option and would make it the 2nd best coaster in the park, but I don’t see the operations going well. This park deserves more than a 4d but something is better than nothing.) More likely possibilities: -apocalypse transformed into a floorlesss (I hope not, the fire and mist effect has been off for 2 years and it will still be a headbanger) -Apocalypse removed for a skywarp -RMC Roar (everyone wants this to happen but it would’ve closed by now) After the campaign SFA did for wahoo river, I won’t be getting my hopes up again.

Canobie Coaster Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 ^ Six Flags usually does a daily admission promotion with Coke. By then they should have their Flash Sale for 2019 Season Passes which include the rest of 2018. If you plan to go again to any Six Flags park this year or next year, that's the best deal. As for the 2019 attraction, the teasers make me think Apocalypse is done in its current form. From the sign posted by the ride and the recent history of B&M stand-ups, I'm guessing a floorless train may be on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 General question. Are there any discounts or coupons for Six Flags America? I am planning to go on September 8th. They always do their flash sale over Labor Day weekend which is the best sale of the year. Buy your tickets then. Consider a season pass / membership. They whore them out at such ludicrous prices that it’s almost insane not to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highridin Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Bill is right. ^^ If you blow it, and miss the sale, they run a pretty good sale around Thankgiving too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackson Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I wouldn't say RMC Roar is completely imconceivable. They could very well have better methods of doing these Iron Horse treatments. They could also be aiming for a later opening as many RMC's have opened April/May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 An RMC treatment of Roar is not out of the question I like to think, especially for a park like this. It would be a subtle enough change to get people to come to the park I feel like. I don't think this park would start anything this soon. Nothing new ever opens when the park does at the start of a season anyway. Now, if this was what was happening it would more then likely not be open for Holiday in the Park as it has been in the past. -apocalypse transformed into a floorlesss (I hope not, the fire and mist effect has been off for 2 years and it will still be a headbanger) The fire worked last season.

PKI Jizzman Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 STORY TIME. Gather 'round everyone. With our quick visit to SFA, a handful of us weren't going to bother with some of the infamous coasters and decided to check out the quirky water park. Overall, it's a really solid water park with some old school and unique slides! But this isn't just any water park, this is Six Flags America's water park. There was only 1 Flash Pass station working in the water park out of 5 we encountered, and it took us over an hour to actually find it. We put the Tornado in the queue and went over when ready. The FP perk lets you go to the front of the "get your tube here" line, but the employee directing people to come get the tube is across the pool, leaving you to ....kindly ....cut the line/explain to the GP that you have a FP and you're next. You can imagine how well that's received! Thankfully we got eye contact from the life guard across the way who waved us over to get the tube. Well, this wasn't your ordinary ProSlide cloverleaf tube, it was a little....flat The guy shrugged it off when we asked if we're cool to use it and we weren't about to stand around and take more heat from the rest of the people waiting in line for tubes...so away we go! (And we're still trying to hold it up in this picture, so just imagine it a bit more saggy) Once Chase and I get to the top and set the tube down in the water, the guard up top looks at us funny and we burst out laughing. She says "When you get to the bottom, tell (insert guy at the exit pool's name here) that (insert girl at the top's name here) said 'PULL THIS TUBE OFF TO THE SIDE!'" So, how did it go? There was just enough air in the tube to keep me @$$ from riding on the bottom of the slide, but there were a couple points where I thought I might break my tailbone, haha. It was a great ProSlide Tornado and we got some serious altitude on the side of the funnel. It was slightly terrifying, but endlessly funny and absolutely one of the most memorable parts of the trip. And yes, the guard at the exit pool laughed and put the tube out of commission when we got to the bottom and relayed the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Flat tubes are typical for that ride. I have encountered it multiple times. I do not recall ever really running into the issue with Bahama Blast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
