The Alex Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 ...So what's that about SFI cutting the in-park fire service for SFGADV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 What a shame, I thought this ride was really enjoyable when I visited SFNE. It was really unique and well themed for a Six Flags ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darienlakerules Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I didn't know that SFNE and great adventure both had this ride. when i first saw it I was thinking it was great adventure and saying to myself, "didn't they just cut the fire service?"

chadster Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 saving money < saving lives, hopefully SFGAdv will rething their decision especially after this as the "<" is currenty pointing the other direction in their case... just sayin, shame on them.

IWORKTHERE@SFNE Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Alright So i work there.. That picture is blurry and it looks like more fire than it really was. Most of the "fire" in that picture was background lights that showed up really bright on the picture and yes there was some fire but the structure sustained minimal structural and roof damage, and a small amount of fire damage to the exterior. Started by Fake cobwebs as stated by the agawam fire chief. Houdini is fine ladies and gentlemen again he escapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acq10uaz Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) On a lighter note... Road Runner Express track pieces and supports are now at the park as well as the cars. The park did say it was enroute when they were getting it approved on Thursday. Glad its here. Also the slingshot has to be moved to the South End. There's pictures of the blue prints on SFNE Online. Edit: Heres a few videos I found on YouTube. It doesn't look that bad as previously thought. It's mostly on the building next to it, which is just a facade and isn't part of the ride at all.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 What the hell is happening? First we have Pony Express sending 10 to hospitals, and now a fire? This is a grim week for the amusement industry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadster Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I have to ask, does this ride use the foam facades that it is commonly used today on many shopping centers, office buildings, and some casinos? If so, just ask the Monte Carlo, they got real lucky it didn't spread... Yes, I took the picture! Foam goes up in flames quick! (Building codes have been changed to prevent new construction with this type of setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayzle Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Sorry for the confusion I meant that many theme parks are known to close similar rides, potentially for good, when an accident happens on the other. Also if that ride were to light on fire while i was operating i don't know how you would get out with the room and benches moving around like they do. I just hope Six Flags doesn't panic.

CHILLERLC1 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 It's not like 2006 when the wheel assembly on CHILLER's Robin side failed and thus the other Premiers in the chain except Poltergeist close for mostly the remainder of the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was. A major chain like SF won't hesitate to take every precaution to prevent problems. Overreaction? Probably, yes. Smart? Yes.

HerBlackWings Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was at SFNE on Sunday and report that the haunt at Houdini was shut down. Whatev. In other news, Bizarro was running without audio ...but parkwide stapling is in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 ^Yeah... thats been a problem all season. I bet thats next to be removed. Except this time atleast there is a reason. Its mostly the yellow train the has the problems, it only works on the back half of the train half of the time. The front half is completely silent with no crackling. The blue train has been working a little at least. However it cuts out everywhere and restarts from the beginning sometimes. What a shame. They can't even hold the ride together for two seasons.

Montuman99 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I went to SFNE on Friday. It was the best trip I have ever taken! I first ran for Bizarro (no duh). The wait was 30 minutes the whole time, even though they were running only one train and the audio broke halfway up and didn't come back until the last tunnel going into the bunny hills. I rode in the 3rd row. I than ran over to Batman which had a 20 minute wait. I got the last row and it was intense! I went over to Thunderbolt and I gave my friends the first row and I got the second. Then I got some back damage on the front of Cyclone. I then ran to Bizarro single rider with my friend, the very next ride had an empty front seat. He had already ridden Bizarro in the front row 4 times, I had never gotten it. It was the most amazing experience! The rides even better at night!!! Then I went to Batman and got it in the back row again! It was the best trip to an amusement park ever!

acq10uaz Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 The name of the mouse is Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum - what a mouthful! It hasn't been announced fully, but I'm pretty positive that thats the name. SFNE Online has pictures of concept art that was at the town meeting to get it approved. http://sfneonline.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinTheAttendant Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The mouse has been painted, it actually looks nice. The FB page has pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 From the pictures I see it looks the same as it was at KK. Did they just touch up the existing paint scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linearinduction Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It must be nice to just re-install the Evac System, instead of building them In-House like Lagoon had to. - Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I fell across some photos of the upcoming coaster! Thought I should share... Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum My Opinion: I'm actually surprised they are going to theme it. And I think it looks good! (For a wild mouse at least) It obviously won't be indoors, so it might not be as well themed as Dark Knight, but it still looks pretty good! Can't wait to ride it next year!

G$ Kurt Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hell, I like this a lot more than Dark Knight! I think this is a way better idea for this type of ride. It's also nice its not hidden in a giant ugly box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
