DarienLaker Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Watch the video. It's been clearly "Cut" apart. They probably did that to transport it easier to whatever park it ends up at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I would much rather they install a better flat ride...like say a Tilt-A-Whirl or Scrambler! The park already ahs a scrambler right next door and a tilt a whirl at a six flags........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Maybe they're planning on building the star flyer on the Catapult site and keeping the skycoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 ^The sky coaster is being relocated in between catwoman's whip and mind eraser for next year. They removed catapult so they could get the big a$$ crane in the park. The catapult slab will most likely be replaced with an equally thrilling flat.

DarienLaker Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Don't tell me that Six Flags is making Sky Screamer (Star Flyer) a "mandatory" ride in all its parks, like Cedar Fair did with Windseeker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Don't tell me that Six Flags is making Sky Screamer (Star Flyer) a "mandatory" ride in all its parks, like Cedar Fair did with Windseeker! There are Cedar Fair parks without Windseekers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The sky screamer at SFNE will be the world's tallest. It will be taller than SFOT's new beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Aren't there Six Flags parks without a Sky Screamer ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Aren't there Six Flags parks without a Sky Screamer ride? There are plenty, but I have no problem with them adding these rides everywhere. I love them, and they seem to have mass appeal for all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsd2121 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Catapult is definitely being sent to the scrap yard. If you want to see more pictures you can go here: http://bit.ly/12DmiM7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Streak Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I say SWAT is going to be in storage and will be moved to a diffrent park next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hmm maybe it will go to Six Flags Mexico, The Great Escape, Darien Lake,or whatever Mexican park that Texas Tornado/Zonga went to if that is the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lareson Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm gonna say this right now, unfortunately Catapult is going to be scrapped. With the way they're cutting it apart versus taking it apart carefully, its gone. With S&S not building them anymore and the rough history it's had, I'd say it had a limited life, much like the Giant Top Spin, The Crypt (Tomb Raider) at Kings Island. I'm surprised the one at Thorpe is still running but wondering for how much longer. Sorry to those hoping for it to be moved somewhere else, but this ride is done for.

3Mutts Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sad to see it go as I sort of liked it, also it looks like they are taking this out for the Skyscreamer instead of the Skycoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at these two pictures: It's clearly being chopped up in a way that it could never be put back together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ^You've got it all wrong Robb. They're clearly just going to ship it to another park and put a new coat of paint on it. Guests will be horrified to learn its not a brand new ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah the park they're sending it to is called "The Junkyard"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 ^ No they're not, Six Flags America is from what I've heard the "butt joke" of the Six Flags chain. The Junkyard on the other hand is a "theme park" where old rides go to "die" when they're scrapped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
