Six Flags Fiesta Texas (SFFT) Discussion Thread

When we were at the park in 2009, that whole area screamed for something. Seemed like such a big dead space.

Those Go-Karts are in a terrible location. If they took those out and expanded the boardwalk, I think they could have a really cool section of the park.

What they need to do is bring back S.S. Overboard back to life because it was boring this whole past season with it being SBNO in the Boardwalk. I much rather ride S.S. Overboard than SkyScreamer any day imo.

[ArizonaGuy]

It would be nice for them to add the lake back with the peddle boats. That was kind of cool and Boardwalkish. Hehe

[TXman308]

Now a mute point with Iron Rattler being built, but I always thought a mega-lite would fit nicely back there. (A custom one anyway).

Here is a phone picture from today. First drop looks awesome!

First drop looks awesome!

[chickenbowl]

Awesome! I can't wait to see more and more of this coaster come together. Also, it looks like a little bit of track has been placed right before the brake run as well, coming out of the tunnel.

[SuperShawn]

Yes, yes and more yes!

[Jakizle]

Holy crap, that is steep! Can't wait to see more.

 

And holy airtime

You should see it standing right next to it. Even the crew is going, "Holy *&^$%". My crew was workin in the old helix area, and I got some shots while the crane was puttin them in place......but i gotta clear the shots w/ the boss b4 I can post it....sry. But now u have an idea what 81* looks like.

[SharkTums]

Looking good!

To show everyone the area and ride we are discussing, here is a screen grab:

 

 

Even without Power Surge, you can see how much room is available still. If Power Surge is taken out, even more massive amounts of space become open.

 

I've heard Power Surge has been on the chopping block forever, and like others said, has never actually happened. IMO it should be taken out eventually. It NEVER has a line. And I'm pretty sure it only runs 1-2 boats. Like you guys said, it's expensive. They don't need it as a water attraction as they have the log flume (a pretty good one at that) and the rapids ride which is pretty long and decent. And during the super hot summers literally everyone goes to the water park anyways.

 

Actually, PS usually runs 3 minimum, and 4 quite often during the hotter months, although they're not full loads. I STILL say move Pandemonium to one side at least (its not like its a hard ride to move, and you'll have oodles of space to play with. Why they put that coaster right in the middle, I have no idea. Something tells me it'll be a couple of seasons before SFFT thinks about another major ride though.

[ArizonaGuy]

Omfg!!! Thanks to Rocky Mountain Construction for the updates.

[Double0Kevin]

^ Wow.

[ernierocker]

Holy crap, that 2nd photo looks amazing!

[cfc]

This is shaping up to be a pretty damn amazing ride.

[Jakizle]

That little twist in the drop is going to be breathtaking in the back- You won't even see it coming.

[Mrlittle]

 

That drop looks wicked awesome.

[3Mutts]

OMG!

[GayCoasterGuy]

That drop looks nuts. Remember the coaster designs we drew on our notebook in 5th grade? They're coming true.

[bottom_feeder_13]

Mother of God, that drop is probably going to blow just about everything else in the coaster world out of the water.

[ArizonaGuy]

Here is a phone picture from today. First drop looks awesome!

 

Although it's ending up a shorter coaster, this is gonna be one kick A$$ ride. I can't wait to see more pics of the first drop being finished. Hopefully we will see more later on this week. All I know is that I don't want to be in the back of that train when I first ride. Lol I like the look of iRat and RRE in this picture as well. Probably one of the better angles we've seen of RoadRunner Express as well as iRat. Hopefully we'll see a completed first drop by weeks end.

[Geauga Dog]

I thought NTAG's first drop looked incredibly steep. I-Rat's seems like it's going to top that and include a little twist to start it off. Amazing!

[Mr.Roller77]

YIKES, is that steep!! Can't wait to see what the rest of the coaster is going to look like!
