coasterbill Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Aren't there Six Flags parks without a Sky Screamer ride? There are plenty, but I have no problem with them adding these rides everywhere. I love them, and they seem to have mass appeal for all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsd2121 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Catapult is definitely being sent to the scrap yard. If you want to see more pictures you can go here: http://bit.ly/12DmiM7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Streak Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I say SWAT is going to be in storage and will be moved to a diffrent park next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hmm maybe it will go to Six Flags Mexico, The Great Escape, Darien Lake,or whatever Mexican park that Texas Tornado/Zonga went to if that is the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lareson Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm gonna say this right now, unfortunately Catapult is going to be scrapped. With the way they're cutting it apart versus taking it apart carefully, its gone. With S&S not building them anymore and the rough history it's had, I'd say it had a limited life, much like the Giant Top Spin, The Crypt (Tomb Raider) at Kings Island. I'm surprised the one at Thorpe is still running but wondering for how much longer. Sorry to those hoping for it to be moved somewhere else, but this ride is done for.

3Mutts Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sad to see it go as I sort of liked it, also it looks like they are taking this out for the Skyscreamer instead of the Skycoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ^The sky coaster is being relocated in between catwoman's whip and mind eraser for next year. They removed catapult so they could get the big a$$ crane in the park. The catapult slab will most likely be replaced with an equally thrilling flat.

Look at these two pictures: It's clearly being chopped up in a way that it could never be put back together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ^You've got it all wrong Robb. They're clearly just going to ship it to another park and put a new coat of paint on it. Guests will be horrified to learn its not a brand new ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah the park they're sending it to is called "The Junkyard"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 ^ No they're not, Six Flags America is from what I've heard the "butt joke" of the Six Flags chain. The Junkyard on the other hand is a "theme park" where old rides go to "die" when they're scrapped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markysharky17 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Looked good. Sadly did not get to ride it. It was this or El Toro and I picked El Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE SFA! I live right near the park and go a lot. The park has did a complete 180 degree turn in the past two seasons. Its clean, all the rides run all the time, and the staff actually acts like they want to be there for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its clean, all the rides run all the time, and the staff actually acts like they want to be there for the most part. It amazes me how people that frequent that park talk about it's improvement. I went for the first time ever last year and hated it. The park is ugly and poorly maintained, Superman, Batwing and Apocalypse were all running one train on a weekend in August and they don't have any bathrooms or shade in the back of the park. Everyone says the park has dramatically improved, so I can't help but wonder how awful this park must have been a few years ago. Sorry for beating a dead horse, but I couldn't help myself.

palmerleeberry Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well, it was a good thing that I got my final ride on Catapult when I visited the park last year. It is always so sad to see a ride go, but sometimes older ( not to mention the most troublesome) rides must be removed in order to put in newer and more exciting rides. Besides, last time I rode Catapult, that ride took so much out of me I had to take several safety breaks before I was able to go back riding again. So long, Catapult, as you head up to that great boneyard in the sky! "I'm not perfect; I just love to ride!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianojohn Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Quick SFNE question: if I were to buy a SF Gold Pass online, can I show the voucher the first time I go to the park to get free parking? I am thinking of going opening weekend and need to know if they will honor the pass before it is processed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
