BigBomer Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Sorry for the double post but I'm getting reports from the park that a Piece of track possibly broke on one of Boomerang's lift's.... Does anyone have more info or pictures??
Ducky dude Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 ^ I was at the park today and I saw that! Boomerang was stalled out in between the loop and 2nd lift. I tried to get pics but my phone died. Where did you here these reports?
Ducky dude Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I thought it just stalled like the typical boomerang. But was it a piece of track?
BigBomer Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Well I was told a piece of track and possibly the chain broke. Not saying he's right though, I want to see if other members possibly had more info...
Ducky dude Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Huh. Well I guess we'll find out sooner or later. Road Runner also broke down today.
arby Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 You have to submit a headshot and that's it? Wow. Talk about judging you by your looks... From my experience, that is how all the Six Flags parks operate. I guess their target demographic is <30 because they want their commercials to portray people in their 20s. I've always been 'too old' for their official commercial shoots.
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 ^Well when I did the travel channel shoot for Iron Rattler (16 at the time), someone who was there the day before had told me that the day before there was a much older gentleman there for the commercial. But I too have heard often times that people were too old.
ArizonaGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 So I'm sure that incident in Boomerang was not a big deal. So anyone got pics to post of opening day? New entrance?
RyanGsatMCO Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I was there for opening. The park felt good for an opening day. Nice to see the yellow shirts gone in favor of the blue ones. Employees seemed well mannered. New entrance is nice looking and move the metal detectors to the Alamo wall. It will be nice for high crowd days. The scanners at the gate seem to have some lag and I am sure that will create hold ups at some point but that technology and people for you. The shows were awesome. Rockville had better flow to it. The cast was very good for it being an opening day. The New Roadhouse Country was an amazing show! The talent was overflowing on the stage and the feel of the show was a god western bar in Texas on a Saturday night with your friends. IR was running well and only time trains were stacked was when a guest was unable to fit. The ops were very good at ensuring that all restraints were proper and getting the train moving out of the station. Pandemonium has a moving station now. Seemed to work well. Boomerang had a breakdown, that is all nothing more or that out of the ordinary for a Boomerang I should say. Overall it was a great day and a good start; the park is operating quite well these days. Both SA parks have advantage of having a short off season now which helps retain employees and knowledge as well as keeping things fluid and moving.
ArizonaGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 ^^ Nice! Thanks for the update, Ryan! Do you know if SFFT is adding the sportsbar type restaurant like some of the other Six Flags parks?
Woodie Warrior Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Is Six Flags changing the employee uniforms chain wide or is it just at SFFT?
RyanGsatMCO Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Not that I can tell of. They had some updated lighter meal options at several food places, but other than that all food ops looked the same. As far as the uniform I think it is chain wide as I believe someone mentioned it in the SFoT thread that they saw Blue shirts too.
ArizonaGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Glad they're changing the shirt color. The bright, fluorescent colors were so tacky.
Zcev5454 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Is Six Flags changing the employee uniforms chain wide or is it just at SFFT? It is chain wide. This is just one of the first parks to unveil them , as they open earlier than the rest .
Ducky dude Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Looks like Bahama Blaster's opening day has been announced. May 25!
ArizonaGuy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 ProSlide shipment beginning to arrive at the park. From Jeff's tweet and retweeted by SFFT
Meangreen16 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 ^Thanks for the picture!! Does anyone know exactly where it is getting build in the waterpark?
SFFTfan Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I think behind the kids area where the cowboy hat spills out water
ArizonaGuy Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Screamscape just posted an update and some pics. Land prep has started and parts are in the parking lot. As far as location, looks like it'll be left of the wave pool and the Tornado water slide. Pics below are from Screamscape.
Mrlittle Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 ^ I like it. I need to get out to the park soon. I miss Irat.
