1pizza14 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 This looks to be quite interesting. And yes... the theming does look good. Unlike all the dark knight clones that are inside ugly boxes. It will be interesting to see a POV of this when it is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahecht Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 They probably meant 17 tight turns, and have never actually used a hairpin. 17 sounds about right for total turns: 90° turn at bottom of lift 90° turn at top of lift 180° turn #1 180° turn #2 180° turn #3 180° turn #4 180° turn #5 180° turn #6 270° descending turn 90° turn at end of straightaway 90° turn into large drop 90° turn out of large drop 90° turn into s-curve S-curve into bunny hills 90° turn out of bunny hills 90° turn into brakes 90° turn out of brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 You'd think they were paying $100K a word with that name, Gauntlet will do me just fine. With all those hairpin bends, maybe they should have called it "Batman's Upper Intestine Ride: A Colonospic Adventure". The name sounds like a Haunt Maze. I remember this at SFKK, it sucker punched me a few times there. If I recall correctly the theming wasn't bad there, well, for Six Flags. I will count this as a new credit, for the record.

jps294 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 NEW FOR 2011 All New Stage Version of SURVIVOR™ to Debut at Six Flags New England Six Flags New England, is introducing the ultimate interactive experience based on the EMMY® Award-winning show, SURVIVOR. The reality show that launched a cultural phenomenon is coming to Six Flags New England in an all new, spectacular stage show - SURVIVOR LIVE. This exciting production debuts Memorial Day weekend. “We are pleased to bring the thrills and excitement of SURVIVOR LIVE to our guests,” said Jason Freeman, Six Flags New England park president. “We predict this show will become an instant crowd favorite.” A joint effort between Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, CBS Consumer Products and New York-based entertainment company RWS and Associates, SURVIVOR LIVE puts guests’ minds and bodies to the ultimate test as audience members compete in contests designed to challenge their endurance, memory and strength. This interactive, thrill-packed show features music, choreography, state-of-the-art sets and lavish costumes. Players who have what it takes to outwit, outplay and outlast all the others will have a chance to win a pair of tickets to see SURVIVOR’s season finale live. “In the comfort of our living rooms, we all wonder if we could confront the elements, win the challenges, find the idols and survive SURVIVOR,” said Liz Kalodner, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS Consumer Products. “Now, SURVIVOR LIVE at Six Flags gives fans the chance to compete and experience SURVIVOR in person as fellow audience members battle it out on stage.” SURVIVOR, now in its 22nd season on CBS, is one of the most popular reality shows in television history. In the groundbreaking show, contestants are stranded in a remote location and divided into tribes who compete against each other in various physical and mental challenges, with the losing team forced to vote a member of their own tribe off the island. The goal is to outwit, outplay and outlast the other contestants to be the last man/woman standing and win the title of Sole Survivor and a $1 million prize. http://www.sixflags.com/newEngland/entertainment/SURVIVORLive.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLund Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 LOL Six Flags should just give up already with these dumb shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jynx242 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 ^ I noticed the big, empty stage for that last week! It seems to me, that thinking "outside the box" for theme park shows doesn't really work for parks like Six Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I don't know, I actually kind of think it will work and be succesful for just this one season. The show is a traveling show and its been put on in other parts of the country. I believe it was at Frontier City, Elitch Gardens, and Darien Lake. I found a short video of it on YouTube, it looks promising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 As most of you probably know, Cyclones getting track topper as we speak. I drove by the park on saturday and they were working on the big drop after the turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hasn't Survivor pretty much completely lost its popularity? Nobody really watched it over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 ^^Are we sure that it is Topper Track and not just normal re-tracking? All the pictures I saw seemed ambiguous about which was happening. Could you tell it was indeed Topper Track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gforce532 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It still gets around 12 million viewers. But anyway I don't see this new show really being any good. Though I still watch the TV show every week, I problebly wouldn't even go see this "live" show if I ever found myself at SFNE or SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the pictures I saw seemed ambiguous about which was happening. Could you tell it was indeed Topper Track? It didn't look like regular track. I only got a quick glance at it but it looked just like the track that was installed on Tremors or whatever coaster got the topper track. It was also said that Rocky Mountain was at the park a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
