boldikus Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I love when things like this happen because all the enthusiasts who say things like "Six Flags doesn't build B&Ms" or "no parks in the US will ever build Intamins again" have to put their foot in their mouths. 7 2

jarmor Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Did they forget they have an actual cliff they could have used?!? I get it, they wanna spread things out lol. When I first heard about the 7 seating configuration i was as confused as I am now but I guess it makes sense. Can't wait to get down and try it out! 3
bert425 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I wondered that too. . but think they just only had space for it in the center of the park. . the quarry walls are all taken up by Supes, Iron Rattler, and Roadrunner.. so the only option was over on the Boardwalk. . and I'm hoping that area is being "saved" for an eventual out and back woodie?
Baffles Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Awesome news! Will look spectacular in the middle of the park. 1
Satans Hockey Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Using a plague mask as the main logo after this past year and a half is a bit on the nose lol Ride looks awesome though
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Awesome news! I also love that they hired Bono for this event.

BintamiM Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Well I'm actually surprised. Glad to see SF working with B&M again. It also will be the first dive machine with 7 across seating, pretty interesting.
CoasterAuditor Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Dang! That's a shock. I expected one of those to pop up down the street at SeaWorld San Antonio!
bert425 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 the ride looks AMAZING . . but I had been expecting something more heavily themed. Tho I'm sure the station will have a lot of theming. and then . . . something has been noticed on this picture. the queue is feeding thru this building. . . . so are we looking at a heavily themed indoor portion of the queue? I'll bet we are! Probably Doctor Diabolical's lab.
Nrthwnd Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 ^ Pre-show? Or .... they're pulling a WTF and putting the Gift Shop first in the queue .... followed by having to use lockers at the station. That was a joke. 3
Houston Thrills Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Yeah, it looks like they're repurposing the old Sundance Theater building for a themed queue experience.
Jaykethekid Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 It looks like an excellent dive coaster and a great fit for the park! Rather unique layout too. Should really set itself apart from the other dive coasters, considering how similar they all feel. I'm also loving the textured paint on the supports, kind of making them look like copper / iron pipe. Helps fit the steampunk theme.
Nrthwnd Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 I love in the art concept, they've made sure to totally fill the entire queue with 'people.' Very important to show, I'm sure.

coasterbill Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Great find with the themed queue. I love this park. 2
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Holy crap! What a pleasant surprise. I don't think anybody saw this coming. Also, a two-tone track color scheme? Six Flags building a large B&M? Is it the 2000s again? I am extremely curious to see what additions the other parks are getting, if at all, and if they are perhaps moving beyond their copy-paste business model finally. 2

I saw him. I was just commenting she sang GaGa to close out the presentation. they then all went out front to pose with park attendees today. . . in the Texas heat - in leather and vinyl. I hope they got double pay! 2 1
