australianalex Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Looks awesome! Looks like the best of the Wingriders IMO. That inline twist really is insanely stretched out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It looks so graceful! No matter how exciting it is, I'm sure gliding through the course will be enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It really does give a great new perspective! Love the colour, definitely stands out. Can't wait to go ride X-Flight this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Those aerial shots of X Flight and SFGAm were simply awesome! Seeing them truly made my day. Thank you for posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Why is the Mystery Machine sitting in the middle of the midway... To solve a mystery of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That has to be the longest inline ever to be built! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ^Sure looks like it! From a distance it almost looks like a massively underwhelming section of straight track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallDuell Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 GREAT PICS! Much love to the dude who took them/posted them! Wonder how the park feels about them? Funny to see Buccaneer Battle dry....and funny to the singing stage just shoved off to the side like that! Also odd to see just how close that (awfully placed) go-kart track is to that whole area. With no crossover in the middle of the park, it "feels" so far away from that section (even though it clearly isn't)! Also interesting to see Iron Wolf's old station still standing, with no ride! Boy, has there ever been a structure that's paid for itself more than that structure!?!?! Have to imagine they have some plan to use it, right? Assume they would have torn it down by now if they didn't think it was usable for the next attraction! Funny to see how both Great America parks still use the giant blue tarps on the carousel, btw!

vacoaster09 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I love these Aerial pics! X-FLIGHT looks great! The color really pops in the area. Also adds some height in that section of the park thats been missing since the old DejaVu cobra roll used to stick out near the midway. Also looking at the old Iron World Station... I couldn't help but think that wow, sky rocket would fit right in there with little to no trouble (but unlikely due to capacity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 ^ I have to disagree. I think it takes a way from the views of the Eagle. This thing is shoe horned in there, without much thought IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrykoala2112 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm just trying to imagine how they are getting the train to go through the ride. I really hope they did not remove the train from the park, as it's a nice break from walking around. But I know the brake run is in the way of where the train use to be.

Airtime&Gravity Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm just trying to imagine how they are getting the train to go through the ride. I really hope they did not remove the train from the park, as it's a nice break from walking around. But I know the brake run is in the way of where the train use to be. I'm guessing that the train will be kept as the only removed track is in the vicinity of the construction. The brake run is really high, so there should be enough clearance for the train. If not, they could reroute it, although, at the moment I don't know where. The ride looks like a lot of fun, but it looks odd with its layout and location. It just looks odd with the layout looking like a lopsided "Y". That being said, layout wise, it looks like the most complete wing coaster, and it is amazing that they managed to fit it in the space available.

Ed Farmer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Is that a trim I see in the second aerial pic? Right after the immelman, but it's hard to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeistfan1 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Does SFGAm offer a discount if you go in the park later in the day? I know some parks have a reduced price is you visit for only the end of the day, but I don't know if the Six Flags chain does this. The reason I ask is because we are going to be in the area for only one afternoon while on vacation. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to pay less, the best thing you could do is use the discount on the back of a Coke can or join Club TPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, I'll probably either buy the ticket for the reduced price online or, as you said, use a coke can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Just a hunch, so take this with the littlest grain of salt; But could the station be used for their next coaster in 2-3 years? That station was used for Z-Force before Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
