ahecht Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 There was confirmation today that the Superman theme will be removed during the rehab from http://clawshunindustries.com/ It also hints at a possible name change for the park (Six Flags over Springfield?) 11-6-08 While the majority of Metropolis Stock Exchange commodities continued to flounder yesterday, Clawshun Industries earned a sudden influx of new investors, driving its price above $1,000.00 for the first time ever… and their CEO, for one, could not be happier. “It just goes to show you,” commented Alexander Joseph, "capitalism is alive and well." Joseph is owner of LexCorps, the parent company of Clawshun Industries. On the topic of his recent good fortune in the market, the upbeat billionaire explained, “More revenue means more freedom - freedom to create, to rebuild, and to change the world. Our new shareholders may not have known who was behind Clawshun until now, but that doesn’t mean they won't share in my latest vision. I have plans to overhaul the Ride of Steel in Six Flags over Springfield, Massachusetts. But, eradicating this shrine to Superman won’t be cheap - it’ll take all the money I just made on the Clawshun stock inflation deal. And I made a killing!” It also confirms, as I speculated before, that Clawshun is part of LexCorps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenA07 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd guess that the Six Flags Over Springfield statement was simply an accident. With a new purple paint job, I don't see how the S:ROS could have stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 From MetropolisStockExchange.com Thank you all sincerely for inflating the price of Clawshun Industries' stock portfolio. Unbeknownst to you, CI is a shadow corporation for my baby, LexCorps, and we have some very ambitious plans in store for the Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. So, in order to move forward on our construction initiatives, I've cashed out your quarterly returns and pocketed the revenue (I can do that - after all, I own the company). But, don't let that stop you from collecting your free share of stock below - it's the best way to stay informed of my exceedingly clever plans as they unfurl. Ta-ta and be sure to visit us at ClawshunIndustries.com Warmest Regards, Lex Luthor Basically, it's saying to still sign up for "stock" if you want to recieve updates on the S:RoS construction.

BeemerBoy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Although I really didn't care one way or another about Farenheit's viral marketing campaign, I think it works better when you don't know what the coaster will be.....layout-wise anyway. We know what Lois Lane: Ride of Superman is gonna be. There's no secret. It's been there for years. It'll just have a new paint job, fire, and fog.

jslim39 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 the thing that i don't like about this is the fact that Batman, SFNE's floorless, has an extremely similar paint scheme, it's got the exact same purple track as what is seen in the photo. If they repaint Batman (which i doubt will happen), it won't be as bad, but if they do, it'll get annoying, being the same color and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yes, but Superman and Mind Eraser used to have very similar color schemes (red track, blue supports) and those two rides were right next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jslim39 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yes, but Superman and Mind Eraser used to have very similar color schemes (red track, blue supports) and those two rides were right next to each other. i guess so, but red and blue was such a common color scheme, that it'd gotten plain and boring, and i had already gotten used to it. i happen to love this purple and blue color scheme, and it's rare, so i think it's a shame that they are side by side.

jamesdillaman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^ As long as it rides like the top five steel coaster it is, I could care less if they paint it pink and green! Seriously, if the ride is great, color isn't a big deal. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterCritic Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I've been pretty critical of the SROS renovations, fearing that SF is messing with perfection. But if the ride's getting a new name and theme at least that's a positive. It's annoying to have to preface any praise for the ride with, the sros in New England. Since it's the best ride on the planet it should have its own identity. So far, I'm liking the creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneymoc Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I love to see Six Flags thinking outside of the box to promote a new ride with this type of marketing. While it isn't as cool as what Universal does for HHN, I applaud them for the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoasterCritic Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Does this mean that the supports are going to be bright green like the rest of Lex's ugly "war suit"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 ^I would expect so, yes... Whether I'm a fan of it or not, I'll have to wait until the re-theme is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiVeToThRiLl90 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 There was a video that was posted on coastercrazy.com that comprised with a man interviewing a representative of the company that is improving Superman:Ride of Steel, the man confirmed it will not be called Superman anymore. The name officially is going to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLine Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The supports have already been painted... they are just dark blue again. Why else would some supports be darker now than others and why would they have covered the supports with plastic while they are painting the track if they were still going to paint the supports differently? I'm still sticking with what I said a page back... the scheme definitely looks a lot like the Bizzaro color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bspellx5 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Word on the street is that certain sections will be kept red, and others will be purple. I'm not a big fan of the color scheme personally. I mean, I know the new paint is part of a makeover, but what needs paint more than anything else in that park is the Thunderbolt, it looks like its about to fall apart any second.

Mr. Starr Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Lex Luthor is kind of a beyotch.

As it says that, the web page's background changes from red to purple (familiar?), and it shows a picture of a christmas tree with kryptonite hanging from it that says "Merry Lex-Mas".
