Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread

[tnemec07]

According a a former employee both motorama and huslter are built into the ground and would very costly to move. So personally i dont think hustler and motorana are going anywhere

[ArizonaGuy]

I'm thinking the new ride would be built over and around Hustler and Motorama and not have to be removed. Hopefully if it's a new coaster that would be the case.

[Loco]

This kind of makes me wonder why Six Flags would choose to remove 2 rides when that spot behind Frisbee is perfect for a coaster.

Poor location maybe?

I agree. If they were to get rid of a car ride, I'd prefer they scrap the Go Karts. They could also build a new coaster around Superman.

[alilstronger]

I agree. There is lots of space back behind Frisbee. Plus this could bring more people to that area. When I was there the Boardwalk area was the least populated.

[historyfreak92]

Here's what I think! I think a B&M Flying would be great for the park, but probably not! A B&M Diving Machine, wouldn't mind! A B&M Hyper like Shambhala built over Superman would be so magnificent! Or maybe an B&M Wing Rider what comes around when it's time! There seems to be enough room, or maybe I'm wrong as you may say!

That phone number (210-697-5476) points to RMC being involved. A wooden airtime machine?

[CoasterGuy2000]

I wood love an airtime filled woodie

[CPSFMMCW]

After calling that number and listening to the direct mentions of Goliath and Medusa Steel Coaster, this definitely sound like an RMC woodie. Coaster enthusiasts will now run to fiesta Texas, as it would have two RMC's in one park! In all honesty, I hope it doesn't have any inversions. I hope it's an airtime packed woodie, as that is the major category that they are missing. But here's the reason why i'm a little skeptica about them getting an RMC. We already have the iron cyclone and iron colossus stuff going on. 3 projects for RMC in one year? To me, if this were to happen, then that would practically confirm to me that iron colossus won't open till 2016. That way you still get a woodie and a hybrid being built by Six Flags in one year. When you put it that way, it does make sense that they could have this project in the books for 2015.

[richtrav]

That or it could be RMC's first steel (non-hybrid) coaster. Haven't they've said they were looking into new concepts? They've also relocated a GIB to Idaho.

^What about the first launched woodie?

[DarienLaker]

^What about the first launched woodie?

 

Maybe that idea is going to be for Darien Lake's "Lake Monster" project?

But RMC Is expanding, so we could get three coasters in one year.

Regarding the voicemail.

I took it as advertisement since the truck sits in front of an RMC, but who knows. *shrugs*

Wow.... Due to the wind, #SFFT2015 has been dropping & diving all day. @screamscape @AboutThemeParks @aceonlineorg

 

Larson Flying Scooters?

 

Fiesta Texas @SF_FiestaTexas · Jul 29

Something looks different... have to go check it out! @aceonlineorg @AboutThemeParks @screamscape @ThemeParkReview @TexasThrills #SFFT2015

[adamd]

I would be shocked if it was a RMC as they already have one. Even if its something completely different I would think other parks in the chain would get one before a park would get two. If I were to guess I'd guess either a Euro fighter, an El Loco type, or what I think would be awesome a ride similar to Lighting Run.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

I'm here at the park now; the balloon is flying high. I've yet to check out the area. Boomerang stalled after the loop presumably this morning. The empty train is sitting there uncovered and I couldn't see any maintanance crews working on it. Other than that, it's a little toasty out today and I'm next in line for IRat. The crew is working very well and effectively.

[CPSFMMCW]

According to what fiesta Texas tweeted, new location and height. At motorama? Not surprising based off of the previous speculation. New height? Hmmm that's interesting...

Boomerang's train has been parked there since Thursday around mid-day.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

^^^ Thanks for the clarification!

 

I thought the balloon looked a bit different; it looked a little further away. But yeah, I'm at the park now and it's right next to the motorama station.

Could you take a couple of shots for us?

Sound like a hydraulic system issue. No sense in winching the train up to the chain on lift 2 if there'e no hydraulic system to pull it up the rest of the way and release it.

[boardwalkbullet91507]

Sure! I'll head over there in a bit and take more, but for now, here's one I took earlier. I'll take a few better ones.

 

It's right next to the motorama station.

 

Bahama Blaster is also closed today and they only have one show going if I'm not mistaken. It's the country band that performs in front of the Road Runner and IRat.

 

 

Edit: and here are the rest taken from the kidzopolis area and the last from the motorama queue. It's literally right there in the middle of the ride area.

^ How tall do you think that is? I wonder if it stayed at the same height as its previous location. I think I heard somewhere that at its former home it was like 92.5 feet high or something like that...if thats the case then I have my doubts about it being a coaster. But if it is, then you can still do some crazy stuff with that height (a la GCI)
