deguy123 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Well looks like I'll definitely have to get Fast Pass for Friday August 5th! I can't wait to go back to the park. I went on Northeast Tour 2011 and had a great time at the park! Looking forward to riding Superman back as Superman! Link to post Share on other sites
Chasehat 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 They shut the VR off yesterday around 6 because of rain and didn't put it back on the ride for the rest of the night. Line ended up moving really fast. One thing that pisses me off is that even when they shut the VR off they still assign seats. Great job six flags great job. Give us the old station set up, get rid of this VR garbage. PLEASE! Link to post Share on other sites
BlahBlahson 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I feel like nothing shows Six Flag's incompetence better than the way they've lessened the experience and butchered operations on the possible #1 coaster in the world over the last 8 years. They could have done nothing this entire time and had a better customer experience. Link to post Share on other sites
SteelForceless 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think that with many of the issues that VR brings, Six Flags will cancel it on most if not all rides by 2018. Link to post Share on other sites

LiftThrill 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If the VR didn't cause such ridiculous capacity issues I would be fine with it, but 7 minute dispatches? That's just awful. Link to post Share on other sites
defrocker 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 But they have put an investment into it. Will they drop it that quickly if they don't get their ROI this year? Â Also, did they get some sort of sponsorship with Samsung? If so we may be in for the duration of a contract. Link to post Share on other sites
Chasehat 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't care if it stays in the park, just take it the hell off of Superman and put it on another coaster. Keep it the hell away from Superman and Wicked Cyclone and put it on Batman or Mind Eraser and then I'd be fine with it. Link to post Share on other sites
defrocker 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 put it on... Mind Eraser and then I'd be fine with it. Â Galaxies may be drop proof, but are they Vekoma-proof? Link to post Share on other sites

Paradox 0 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Was at the park today and rode Wicked Cyclone 10 times as it was walk on for pretty much the entire day. The vibrations from last year are non existent now and the ride's loud roar is also gone. It's running faster than last year, but the orange train is definitely slower than the blue.

That was also before the death on it resulted in the change in restraints, which lessened the amount of air-time (presumably) one would get on the ride. Sadly, I haven't ridden it to be able to rank it myself, but I certainly hope to do so someday before long (but long enough away that VR isn't on it anymore.) Link to post Share on other sites
Chasehat 0 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Back in the SROS days the ride was hands down the best coaster in the world according to most people. I didn't get my first ride on it as SROS until 2008 when I was 9 so I wouldn't be able to compare it to now even though I rode it 10-11 times that year. Then came the Bizarro transformation and that made the ride seem lesser than it really was. The audio headrests new restraints and new trains made the experience worse. And in changing it back to Superman the Ride they didn't fix any of this. They just replaced the audio headrests with new headrests. A lot of the reason the ride isn't perceived as it used to be is because Six Flags has constantly screwed with it since the SROS days. If they just left it alone like they should of with TLC here or there it would probably still be that top tier coaster it once was. I think it still is top tier IMO, hell I liked it more than Fury.

Paradox 0 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The train also rattles like hell and it's more noticeable the further back you sit. Link to post Share on other sites
Chasehat 0 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Especially the red one. I don't really notice a rattle on the blue train its only a slight rattle there. The red constantly rattles from the 1st drop to the final turn. It's almost constant. Link to post Share on other sites
jarmor 9 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Im really intrested in the water coaster and possible the drop capsule slides as far as the water park goes. Im just trying to get a good bit in in a half day. Â Typhoon almost always has an hour wait or so if the water park is even somewhat crowded. I had to skip it yesterday. I rode Bonzai Pipeline yesterday and it was about a 15-20 minute wait around 5 pm. The initial drop was quite the thrill, but the transitions between turns was a little uncomfortable (you could really feel where the slide pieces came together). So if I get to the park, head straight to super man and, well, any other rides I should hit up first before it gets a huge line? I was thinking if I get to the water park at opening I should be ok to get a few slides (typhoon and bonzai) in no time? Im coming on thursday. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 143 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It's always good to go to Goliath as soon as possible. Ask if you can wait for the front. Sometimes they let you and it's a lot of fun. If they say no, prepare for a beating. Â But yeah, go to Superman first. Then go there. Link to post Share on other sites

If they say no, prepare for a beating. Â I was lucky enough to go about a month ago on a Wednesday and everything was just about a walk on. A friend and I went on Goliath and we were literally the only two people on the ride. So we sat front row and man it was a hell of a lot better than the back. We sat second to last row on it earlier in the day. I hear a lot of negativity about that ride, but I have to say that front row ride was damn exhilarating. Going up that second tower being in the front, I didn't think we were ever gonna stop. Link to post Share on other sites
