The SBF visa Traffic Jam is now officially " Rockin Rodeo"! Pc: SFNEONLINE

Didn't I say that the new SBF Traffic Jam was going to be rethemed to fit the area? Yes, yes I did.

That looks so nice without the headrests...why exactly are they coming back?

 

I was under the impression that they weren't?

[PixelRush]

I saw in a picture before it was repainted that there was a sky mural on the back of a building. Is that still there, or was that for another ride (the picture perspective seemed strange)?

I think that the "sky mural" you're thinking of was just the roof of the Bumper Cars building. It was kinda shiny from the reflection of the sun.

Amateur editing job, but this is what the new Superman headrests will be like. Wish there were none, but whatever. They're better than Bizarros.

Headrests are in general a pretty silly thing to complain about... but it is awfully strange. Who thought this ride needed headrests? Who is the human being making this decision and what reasoning or logic went into it?

The trains are looking insane

[PixelRush]

The greatest part about this being painted red again is that when the top layer of paint wears out (from the wheels), you actually have more red under that from the end of the Bizarro era!!!

 

And yes, those trains are looking damn spicy

[Jcoaster]

I can't wait to ride this thing new headrests and all

[WindexCyanide13]

I'm so excited for Superman, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand why they even needed to add headrests in the first place. They're no ponder necessary as there is no on ride audio.

Seems like the money they poured into new headrests could have easily gone into fixing the restraint pads..

They actually got new restraints. It is the same one, but it looks as if there has been minor reshaping. No they aren't the most comfortable, but I don't feel as if they affect the ride too much.

I thought the restraints before were okay. They weren't painful or anything, just a little bit awkward and annoying. And I agree that they don't ruin the ride all that much, since the coaster is in my top 10 steel coasters! So some re-shaping is all the restraints need in my opinion.

Anyone notice the ACE logo in the Crackaxle Canyon section?

but the new attraction near Tomahawk?

and why split the water park in two sections?

I really like the move to split the water park into two. The area by Kontiki was always a very awkward dead end and that should help improve traffic flow through the South End of the park.

Still no one's explained where Rockin' Rodeo is on the map

 

Also, I notice they gave the rides some new logos to draw attention to them, most notably Houdini's Great Escape. I hope they did some small renovations to it as part of the new addition and Tomahawk repairs!

My guess is the map was printed before they bought the ride.

Last year I noticed a longer cycle than 2014. Maybe we'll see new speakers as they were fuzzy last year.

[Puck18]

Rockin' Rodeo will be exactly where The Crackaxle Canyon logo is, right next to Tomahawk

Houdini really needs an actual sign. The entire problem with that ride is that nobody knows it exists.

I honestly had no idea NE had a Houdini until I looked at this years map.
