SFOG1991 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 ^I'm glad Six Flags Over Georgia wasn't the only one to have a branded flume. Luckily, Deer Park Plunge has been classically renamed Log Jamboree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The log flume at SFStL was named Nestea plunge at one time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 When Great Adventure had their second flume, it was also known as Poland Spring Plunge for a time. Man I wish they still had it, but I digress. I'm glad more parks are getting these 4Ds. I just wish they were given different names. But I suppose this is the Batman: The Ride for the new generation.

Jcoaster Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I remember riding Poland Spring Plunge a few times in the late 90's and early 2000's. I also remember getting way more soaked on it then the log flume in Frontier Adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand parks having a log flume and then a raft ride, but I have never encountered a park with more than one log flume. Intersting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefed29 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Wow. I am very much out of the loop on the popularity of log flumes. My first (and 2 more trips last summer) trip to Great Adventure last year reinvigorated my love for coasters so I need to get out to some more parks this year.

livai Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) According to this photo, the joker is designed to Six Flags Mexico. I wonder why they changed Their minds photos found SFNE online Edited January 28, 2017 by livai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 According to this photo, the joker is designed to Six Flags Mexico. I wonder why they changed Their minds photos found SFNE online A) save the picture and then upload it here (its hidden) B) For the record, I was told that SFOT, SFNE, and SFM were getting Joker rides (which is why I predicted those specific parks getting those specific coasters in the thread on here months back). SFGAmer's GM recently mentioned at NoCoaster that they were initially slated to get a Larson Loop and they balked, leading to them getting a 4D instead. Rides got shuffled around, and there you go. EDIT: Well there you go: SFNE's was the last to switch. So much for a 5 year plan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hmm. I know S&S is working on Dodonpa, but there are two uncovered launch coaster projects from what I can see (both are in the upper corners). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are Gale Force and Catapult which were both delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 ^Good! The one here at SFOT is completed, and the one at SFGAm is nearly complete. You guys seem to be the last of the three parks to start construction on the new Joker rides. Of course, that doesn't really matter since the S&S Freespins can be put up in short order. Anyway, enjoy your new ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsdude360 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Good! It was starting to look as if this thing might not open until Fall 2018! The one at SFGAm is nearly complete and the one at SFOT is about to enter it's testing phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at SFGAm is nearly complete and the one at SFOT is about to enter it's testing phase. Yes and I cannot wait to ride the one here in over texas. Remember that rmc manufactures the track one at a time and since they have to make for three, it takes a lot of time to make it. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It does look odd, though. It seems to be sitting in rather close proximity to your Tornado water park ride. Here at SFOT, ours is nestled in neatly next to Riddler Revenge and Catwoman Whip in our Gotham City section. Hurricane Harbor is actually across the highway from SFOT, so we never have water park rides and theme park rides sitting adjacent to one another.

Yeah because the joker sfne is where splashwater falls was and hh is adjacent and included in the season pass to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
