Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread

^ I thought the B&M vests were tighter than Green Lantern's, personally. I don't mind them being tight around the body, but I do around the collar. I should have been more specific in my initial post.

These coaster cars look pretty sick! I can't wait to compare between these cars and the X2 trains. I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Now they they've unveiled the Justice League stuff, I can see Scooby Doo making its way out of SFFT soon and being replaced with a Salky interactive dark ride.

I really like these trains; they are super sleek and look very comfortable. I'm super pumped for this now, it's going to be a great addition to the park!

Now that you mentioned it, I imagine they can now have their 4d coasters use these trains as they look more comfortable than the current ones.

Love the look of the new trains! And really love the vest style restraint. Should be rather comfortable. Can't wait to try this ride out next year.

With this newfangled train for the new Batman ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it gives another reason why the riders and amusement park flyers should lose weight and keep their bellies from sticking too far out.

 

Still, the train looks sexy.

 

LOL... or they could just come on these boards and complain about the park because they couldn't wedge themselves into the train.

I believe these use a different system than the 4D ones on X2 and such. The original 4D use the rails to flip the cars whereas the new Batman trains use magnetic strips to flip the cars.

well i'm def gonna have to lose weight, and i will for sure. I'm not gonna miss this cuz of my belly.hehe.

I thought the seats were going to face each other, but according to the new video it doesn't look like it. either way i'm stoked and so are my kids.

I know, I was just talking about the seats (with these vest restraints) as they seem more comfy

^ Thank you for the link

 

Next year definitely calls for a SFFT and ZDT's weekend.

SFFT Just confirmed that they are closing Superman for HIP.

Maybe because it will be so cold that month!

Hopefully they can repaint it so it can be pretty like BTR

[glouthan 0]

Agreed - It's really faded. Didn't they paint part of it this summer, though?

[CaliforniaPinto 0]

Do you think they'll retheme Poltergeist to Joker's Jinx now that the area will become Gotham City?

They painted parts of the station and signs. The coaster still needs a major paint job. Doubt it will happen this year.

They are keeping Rockville area. The only thing changing is one of the buildings will now be the movie theater where Batman parents died. An odd choice for theming.

 

Speaking of the ride, SFFT posted this photo of construction. Anyone else curious as to why they are keeping the old Motorama station?

[glouthan 0]

I could of sworn they painted the cobra roll... Maybe not. look at page 379 of the forum.

Anyways, Batman's site is looking good, and hopefully we will see some vertical action sometime soon.

Hopefully not. Poltergeist is a far better (and unique) name.

Do you think that Six Flags Fiesta Texas is going to retheme Pandemonium to "The Joker"?

[Woodie Warrior 0]

^No

[glouthan 0]

You never know, though - they do like re-themes (Bizarro, MFRB, just to name a few). Probably isn't likely, because if they were doing that, they would have probably announced it by now.

[historyfreak92 0]

Well awhile back. they would not re theme Superman Krypton Coaster as Bizarro, also I think a New Paint Job would be really perfect, and the ride is not in bad shape, Poltergeist as Joker, I wouldn't like it cause I really like that way the colors on it now, and the Station inside, and Pandemonium as Joker, I would care if they did, but I kind of doubt if they would ever change it (maybe because of the long gone Joker's Revenge now as Jester SBNO at Six Flags New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina!) also there's still Tony Hawk theming inside where the ride is located, but in my own mind if they build a coaster like Shambhala at Port Aventura, or Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg over Superman Krypton Coaster as Bizarro, or Green Lantern, I would really love that!

[DarienLaker 1]

You never know when Six Flags would retheme a ride to something related to a DC Comic book character. I only made that question about Pandemonium getting rethemed as "The Joker" because of its location being where the Joker's Revenge coaster was located hence the que line being in a building that was the Joker's funhouse. Then when Joker's Revenge was sent to Six Flags New Orleans, the building was used as a Fright Fest haunted house until Tony Hawk's Big Spin/Pandemonium came in and also Six Flags Mexico has the former Tony Hawk's Big Spin/Pandemonium from SFDK that was rethemed as "The Joker".
