Stunning Mindbender change

[theyd]

I knew I had to show you guy's the moment I saw this.

Oh screw Bench: the Ride How about NASCAR: the Ride

[Disney Dood]

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?

[dougstanton]

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.

[TheStig]

One more reason to hate NASCAR.

[sam06pr]

ugh!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF??? EWWW!!!

 

is SF that desperate to get money? lol

 

I hope is for a short while. Hopefully until the end of the season.

NASCAR bends the mind...

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.

^^^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.

[ebl]

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...

^But atleast the trains in CA look effing awesome!

[dragsterfan420]

What's wrong with a little bit of advertisement on a ride?

Aren't rides just big advertisements fro parks to make more money?

[larrygator]

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.

Why is everybody surprised about this. It has been happening for a long time already. The "Pepsi Big One" Hello!

[QueerRudie]

Anton is now rolling in his grave- sadly.

[gk]

For a temporary change - no big deal at all.

 

It's not like the "Riddler" paintjob is beautiful.

[Jew]

^^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.

You're welcome for the pic

 

Mindbender was....great! Lap bars rule.

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.

is SF that desperate to get money?

 

Oh most definitely

[SFOGdude25]

Those are gone now. I was at SFOG at the end of July, and they are back to the same old awesome Riddler scheme.

[astroworldfan1]

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.
