gerstlaueringvar Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 How about a ZacSpin by Intamin? That would be a great ride without using a lot of land. They could totally fix it on the Broadwalk section of the park. Next to Pandemonium. ZacSpins aren't that great. I'd much much much rather have something Like an El Loco that takes up just as much space. WRONG! Your stupid SoCal ZacSpin isn't that great...there are some out there that are just fine, and some that are INSANE!!!! Perfect mixing of the name and the description!

Wes Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Back in April SFFT promoted the opening of the 2013 season of their water park with the title "The Regions’ Most eXtreme Water Park Opens Weekends Beginning April 27 at Six Flags Fiesta Texas." They also used the term eXtreme Thrills in the article to promote the water park attractions. My bet is on a new water park slide. Link to SFFT article: http://www.sixflags.com/fiestaTexas/info/news_2013wwb.aspx Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Maybe some speed slides, I don't think the park offers any currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If it's for the water park, it'll most likely be similar to the "Dive Bomber"/"Bonzai Pipelines" speed slide complexes recently added to SFGAm and SFStL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The "new for 2014" attraction should be putting Zeus back into the Nighttime Show. And make it an extended sequence. With puppets. And fire. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narkitty Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^^^^ I wish. I miss the Lone Star Spectacular. Lone Star Nights is very 'meh' to me. I don't care about watching stock-footage type videos projected on the quarry. The lasers made the show really something unique and campy, and it was a lot of fun. The first time I saw Lone Star Nights, I was ticked off. Mainly I was pissed that they took out all of the Texas history aspects of the show. No more Alamo story...and the park is in SAN ANTONIO.

gerstlaueringvar Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think they need a woodie since iRat is steel coaster. Another RMC, Intamin woodie, GCI or even a Gravity Group mini woodie like Wooden Worrior and Twister would be good. As long as nothing like Hades is coming, I am happy with that. Maybe RCCA will revive at SFFT somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky dude Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 SFFT's twitter hints the new ride to be at the boardwalk. It might be the GCI airplane coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Interesting. It would be nice to see back to back coasters. The GCI wooden coaster would be an awesome addition to the Boardwalk. If it is Boardwalk location then Maybe the AquaTwist ride they're talking about for SFStL might be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^Keep in mind that the ride is being heavily implied as "eXtreme". I don't think even the most clever of marketing teams could promote the Aqua Twist as extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^^ This is Six Flags marketing, remember? YOLOCoaster comes to mind as a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^Remember, this is Six Flags. Not only could they falsely advertise it as extreme, they more than likely will create some sort of world record from it as well. EXTREME AQUA TWIST! With world record holding element. Most buttons on an operators panel. World record footprint for an Aqua Twist. Longest que for a flat ride. etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky dude Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 But you have to think about how big the space is. I found it on google maps and It could fit 3 and a half aqua twists and queues! And the average joe would know that the ride is NOT extreme, as La ronde promoted it as a family ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If the new ride is going in near the boardwalk then I think its going to be a new flat ride. Although like previously stated, there is a lot of room back in that area for a coaster. I still think its a water ride of some kind. I'm sure they know about the GCI coaster video on YouTube and was just trying to mess with us with the tweet. I'm surprised they haven't announced any news about Fright Fest yet.

SharkTums Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 But what could the capital TOB mean? Say TOB out loud...perhaps Tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterguy21 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The tweets so far are: "TO the B walk!" "I can hear the roars,screams,and shouts....to the _________ already!" The fact that they said roar kind of gives me hope it could be something more than just a water slide...but I'm still not counting on it. But what could the capital TOB mean? Where was the photo of the land taken? TO the B Walk could mean the Boardwalk (referencing the Fiesta Bay Boardwalk area of the park)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky dude Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So it looks like due to the "roars screams and shouts" tweet, I think this ride is not a flat ride, they're obviously trying to show that, the ride will be really something. I don't know, lets just wait for more tweets. EDIT: New tweet "There will be a picture on the book of face. RT if you're ready for a NEW clue....

boardwalkbullet91507 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm getting more and more excited each day! 10k inversions? This ride is going to be sick! . . . But really, there is plenty of space in the back to fit a new coaster. Based off of Google Earth, if they wanted, they could even do an out-and-back White Lightning style coaster that rides the quarry wall past the parking lot next to Poltergeist (I'm almost positive it's employee) towards drop off/pick up and back. There should be enough room between the road and the quarry wall. This is going to be an exciting ride announcement! On a side note, also on Google Earth, the satellite images have been updated to show construction of the Iron Rattler. The bottom portion of the original fan curve is still standing, there is one rail of the zero-g-roll in place, and the portion on top of the quarry is done minus the airtime hill off the quarry wall. Also, if you head up North East to White Water Bay, just above the wave pool next to the parking lot, you can see where it appears some track was being painted, plus some very, very orange grass.

narkitty Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Planning on heading to the park tomorrow with my dad who hasn't been in a few years. I know that tomorrow is a bring-a-friend free coupon day, so I'm a little worried about crowds. Did anyone here go to the park today or yesterday? If so, what were the crowds like?
