FeelTheFORCE Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I thought Shapiro said that they were getting "another roller coaster," but nonetheless, a revamp to Scream would still be cool, considering it's so bland. It's just strange that they would do it again so recently after X's revamp.
X2coasterfreak Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah Scream right now is rough, and I think needs a revamp. But I don't think that SFMM is going to get a brand new B and M. They have a floorless, standup, flyer, hyper(not a B&M), and an invert.They don't have a dive machine though, that would sure be interesting. I know Alton Towers, SFMM nad a few other parks are getting something. But strangely on RCDB there is nothing about a new Carowinds coaster...Interesting
NewEnglandCoasters102.0 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 I thought Shapiro said that they were getting "another roller coaster," but nonetheless, a revamp to Scream would still be cool, considering it's so bland. It's just strange that they would do it again so recently after X's revamp. That doesn't matter b/c they considered Bizarro "all new." (Oh, and for the record, I was kidding about SFMM getting a Bizarro. It would still be pretty cool though.)
Dietcokevan Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Scream getting a revamp. I want those parking lot strips redone! Â But Scream isn't a ride I would put $10 million into, I would put the $10 million into a ride that is popular, like with the other SF transformations they did X, Ride of Steel, and Medusa. Why waste money on a ride that is basically not even there.
NewEnglandCoasters102.0 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 If they invest $10M into a Scream revamp they'd probably try to make it smoother...
jbarner14 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^^^Medusa at SFGAdv was not very popular. The ride had shorter wait times and even opened later than the rest of the park. Six Flags was brilliant in retheming it as many guests think it is a new ride or just want to experience the the new features. Â By retheming Scream it would potentially make it more popular and some GP might actually think it's a new ride.
Dietcokevan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^Well it was probably longer than Scream, I can guarantee that. But it would see pointless to me because it would be like trying to revamp Gold Rusher or something. Just put Scream out of it's misery, tear it down, and get me that 500ft dive machine!
4rturo Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^Are you nuts?!?! That ride is awesome, it just needs more people, and a revamp would work awesome in that coaster. Specially if you add lift hill rings
Dietcokevan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^Have you been on it lately? It makes a Vekoma look smooth not really, but from start to finish it rattles like CRAZY.
ebl Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^ I rode it not too long ago and didn't think it was bad at all---at least no more rattly than normal. Personally, I like it and couldn't care less about the whole parking lot thing. Perhaps in a future season they could do a retheme, but there are too many more things that have priority right now.

atem122 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Scream always bores me to tears, it rattle's like hell, and the only force it has is a second of some negative G's in the zero g roll
Dietcokevan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 ^^Good point, Six Flags probably has a lot more than revamping rides on their mind. Like for example trying to stay in businesses.
Mr. Starr Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Specially if you add lift hill ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings  MMMMMM. rings.

sushirocks13 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 well, I guess we know the fate of the red track now.... Â http://www.carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2772
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 But where is the yellow going? I WANT CLOSURE!
bobbinbop20 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I think Scream! is Awesome! Its one of my favorite coasters and I have been on over 100
Josh Linn Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I think Scream! is Awesome! Its one of my favorite coasters and I have been on over 100 Â Umm...wat? Not entirely sure how this fits into the red and yellow B&M track/mystery/Carowinds motif. If I'm missing it, feel free to enlighten me.
coastermoosh Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 My guess: look at the photo at the bottom of the post above his...it's Scream. Still unrelated to this topic, of course. lol
bobbinbop20 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 oh sorry If I confused you! I was refering to little conversation that was going on a page before this
Miltonmx Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009  Are the yellow tracks, replacement for scream?  I guess that this thread will change into a poll:  What is the color of the next mistrious B&M track?  - Green - Blue - Purple - Pink  Lol... Sorry I´ve drinked too much coffe.
xChris125x Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Does anyone know yet where the yellow B&M track ended up at?
fisher1095 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 It was packed up into containers and shipped overseas. That's what I heard. And it makes sense. It's not there anymore.
