Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 This park is amazing, i really don't want to see PF or Monster Mash Hotel go because they give the park that retro feeling that so many of today's parks have lost. Remember, this is Six Flags we're dealing with. Big park chains have no sense of retro at all, just a sense of building more roller coasters.
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 But this is a fantasy park, so to hell with the rules keep Monster Mash Hotel and PF
coasterdude5 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) 1995 17th Season  Some sources that I've met since the park reopened are all in agreement that the attraction to close this year will be one of the original rides that opened with the park. This leaves Parachute Falls, Indigo Plunge, Monster Mash Hotel, and Scrambler as the rides in question. Indigo Plunge and Monster Mash Hotel both sit on large plots of land - could the park be planning something else to fit onto one of these footprints? If the park is removing one of these attractions to make room for another attraction, I can't see them removing Scrambler or Parachute Falls as they won't free up too much space.  Stay tuned! We should know which attraction will close very soon!   I'd hate to see Indigo Plunge leave. Even though we have two more great water rides, nothing beats the classic log flume!   My "sources" could be wrong. We could see a newer attraction leave as well, or none at all!   Thunder River was down for most of the morning - the line began filling quickly once it reopened.   It's a nice relief on a hot day such as today!   New lighting has been installed to the police car scene near the exit of Batman: The Ride.   Gotham still needs Batman!  - Joe Edited September 8, 2015 by coasterdude5
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Maybe you should get a Superman coaster or ride, every Six Flags has one, but don't go Bizzaro yet, please
davisal771 Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Great update! I really wouldn't care if Indigo Plunge or Monster Mash hotel left. I'm wanting to see a B&M Stand-up... The suspense is killing me!
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Maybe go with a B&M Floorless, and go Superman Kryptinite Coaster, or a vekoma flying dutchman coaster like batwing, but with a superman theme
10ryansmith Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 First off, love the park. Â Second, I hope that the flume is taken out and something along the lines of The Raven is built. This park needs another woody and isnt the flume on a hill?? Anyway, cant wait to see what happens.
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Surely you could relocate Vortex, right? Can't wait to see what happens next...
coasterdude5 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) 1995 17th Season  I was told by a park official today that an announcement will be made next week regarding a "change in attraction lineup." I believe that means an attraction will be leaving.   Good morning, Six Flags!   I was at the park early this morning to interview the park president for an article I'm writing. Batman: The Ride was testing as I was walking through the park.   The park was very quiet this early in the morning! No music, no guests - it was very eerie.   A much needed fence was added around the perimeter of Batman's base. You wouldn't want anyone somehow getting under there!   The park opened and the line began to fill.   Another day at this great park!  - Joe Edited September 8, 2015 by coasterdude5
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Is that a fire I see on the left of the last photo next to the shuttle loop?
coasterdude5 Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 ^ That's smoke from the Charleston Railway steam engine.
jps294 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 I like to see an overview of the park or park map of Six Flags South Carolina.
coasterdude5 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) 1995 17th Season  This sign was posted outside of the ride today:  "MONSTER MASH HOTEL TO CLOSE ON JULY 14  Attention park guests: We regret to inform you that Monster Mash Hotel will close on July 14. We look forward to unveiling a new exciting attraction in its place in 1996!"   I really hate to see a classic go, but Monster Mash Hotel was showing its age. It opened with the park in 1975 and has not been updated since. I wonder if they will utilize the same ride system or go with a new one. Only time will tell!   I was somewhat saddened by the announcement, so I decided to go ride Batman to cheer me up!   This always does the trick!   It was a beautiful day!   I'll see you tomorrow as we revisit Monster Mash Hotel!

GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 wait it is only 1996, then why would your park already have batman, six flags had these built for there parks one at a time, so two in one year would be completey unrealistic
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 ^This is a fantasy park, so it really doesn't matter.
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 But you use real companies, you should try your best to be acurate in the combination of fantasy and reality, if you do this that way it makes the park seem more realistic and professional
AJClarke0912 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 ^ Â [from RCDB] Â Roller Coaster: Batman The Ride Amusement Park: Six Flags Great America (Gurnee, Illinois, USA) Classification: Roller Coaster Type: Steel - Inverted Status: Operating since 5/9/1992 Â The first Batman was in '92...so it could have been entirely possible.
djbrcace1234 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 ^ Â He's talking about Building two in the same year, considering Magic Mountian had there's built the same year this one is built in. B&M wouldn't care, and if Charleston Gardens was bringing people in, I wouldn't see why they wouldn't want to build it then.
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 When a ride cost $6,500,000 to build, having two built in the same year would cost way to much for Six Flags to afford, this would be an impossible coaster to have at the time, unless you assume that this is to a timeline that could never exist
BaMiTsPaT Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 ^Alternate Reality ftw! Â I don't think it really matters to the timeline of reality as much as the timeline of this thread. If he had built it in 1984 we would all be more upset, and I don't really see the problem with building it when he did as this is not a recreation of a park, but a fantasy park as stated
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Ok i'll let it fly, but if Superman UF appears before 2001, that is goin to tick me off
mightbeawannabe Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Where did the number 6.5 million come from? I thought they were a little over 7.5 million.
GaryGB Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 How is it possible to nit-pick at such a great park? Â The time and effort put in alone for this is amazing, to complain about minute details is trivial.
