theyd Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I knew I had to show you guy's the moment I saw this. Oh screw Bench: the Ride How about NASCAR: the Ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Who would have thought, now roller coasters can't even escape advertising... It's not like it looks good, and what does mindbending have to do with NASCAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougstanton Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Being my home park, I can tell you they are no longer like that. If you look at the advertisement on the front, the show ended July 12th. It was essentially a shrink wrap that came off easily. Towards the end it looked bad due to so many people picking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Wasn't there already a thread about this? I *love* Mind Bender, but I just don't see this as being that big of a deal. I mean it's got that hideous vomit green paint job as it is. A little NASCAR isn't going to make it that much uglier. Besides, consider it theming, Georgia style. BTW, that's a really nice action shot of the ride. It really illustrates the white knuckle fun of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 ^^^Read two comments above you. They're already gone now that the show's over. Meh, whatcha gonna do? If this is how Six Flags needs to make money, so be it. It could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have to admit that all of you in Georgia are fortunate that your Schwarzkopf looper still runs with only a lap bar. Here in California...well, it's different... Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragsterfan420 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What's wrong with a little bit of advertisement on a ride? Aren't rides just big advertisements fro parks to make more money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The same people who criticize SF for this are probably the same people who would complain if ticket prices were raised. Everyone should be thrilled they are finding alternative revenue streams. Luckily, Disney would never allow a corporate sponsor. Oh, forget that.

gk Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 For a temporary change - no big deal at all. It's not like the "Riddler" paintjob is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 ^^Why is that? His ride is still so popular with guests 30 years after it opened that the park was able to sell advertising on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dammie16@vt.edu Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 If you check out my TR from last sat. here http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45349&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 You can see the trains are no longer like that. I didn't think to pay attention for it because I did notice the ads when i went in June but I know for sure that both trains running were ad free this time.

astroworldfan1 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Did Mind Bender get new lap bars? I don't recall seeing those when I was there last October. They might be from the new train from Astroworld. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
