Poland Spring Plunge

 

... because Six Flags

[SFOG1991]

^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.

The log flume at SFStL was named Nestea plunge at one time lol

[Genx24]

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.

Great adventure had two log flumes? Operating at the same time?

Yes, for over thirty years.

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.

Wow. Seems ballsy. 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.

[michaellynn4]

Doesn't SFGAm have two currently operating?

[SixFlagsAstroworld]

Yes. So does SFSTL

[thefed29]

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.

According to this photo, the joker is designed to Six Flags Mexico. I wonder why they changed Their minds

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...

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).

Maybe they are Gale Force and Catapult which were both delayed.

Park posted that they've gone vertical with Joker!

 

[Sportsdude360]

^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!

[Sluggo77]

The park posted another update to Twitter. Even with two major snow storms this past week we have more progress!

Thanks for the update!

[Sportsdude360]

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.

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.

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.
