storms555 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 ^If they did add a Larson Loop you think they'd flaunt it around as a new coaster? Since they are getting the Joker i can imagine them bragging "2 NEW COASTERS FOR 2017 SEASON!!!" Look I have nothing against Loops heck they are one of my favorite carnival flat rides but to call it a coaster is kind of tacky/cheap...I know its nothing to make a big deal but imagine going there expecting two new coasters and only one being a carnie ride....So they pretty much roped you in! Kind of snake-ish. Then again I guess thats how most of the business world is like anyways. Also they are no where as fun as real roller coasters! Rides like the Superloop would be more of a coaster substitute kind of like carob is a chocolate substitute. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingCoasting Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Let me rephrase There were never plans to add both Joker and a Superloop at once. Hank didn't like the Superloop idea and wanted a Free Spin instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storms555 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Yea I know that! Hence why I said "IF they did"....If Great America was ever to add one they'd probably end up calling it a coaster. I was speaking hypothetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceBoarder Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 An employee also used the term "soda" instead of "pop"... Totally ruined the experience and SF is now the worst company ever!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm glad there are no plan to give Demon the Blue Hawk treatment. There's no reason to do it because Demon is fine the way it is. As for the VR returning, my guess is it stay on Demon or maybe gets moved to Superman. I'll be there opening day(for the first time) for sure and closing day. I'm also planning on going to season pass day for Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingCoasting Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Most likely yeah, they probably would advertise it as a coaster. But does it really matter? Joker + a "Coaster" would have brought us up to "16" coasters, which is pretty impressive to the general public. In fact, I think that'd be the third most in a park. Really the only people who care are us enthusiasts. No, Superloops are not actually coasters, we know that. But I don't know a single person who would stop going to a park because they advertised a Superloop as a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storms555 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm not saying people would stop coming just that some people might get tricked into thinking there would be 16 actual literal coasters. However really its not the worse misnaming thing. I seen people who knew diddly squat about amusement parks who called ALL rides "coasters". Like the youtuber H3H3 when he mentioned that lady and her odd obsession with the magic carpet ride at knoebels he kept calling it a roller coaster! I was double cringing. For the odd lady and for the youtuber himself who didn't know what a roller coaster was apparently! His wife kept calling it a coaster too! Not all rides are coasters..... In their case merry-go-rounds are coasters! Heck your grandma's power scooter is a coaster! Strap on a pair of skates and you can be your own roller coaster!! Imagine if a bunch of hard core coaster enthusiasts stormed his comment section..... Probably wouldnt be pretty..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gonna go out and say the reason I cringed wasn't the mislabeling of the ride, but the woman's desire to have intimate, sexual relations with the ride. I can't cringe harder.

Well both made me cringe. I seen the documentary itself and some of her lines makes you want to roll up in a ball and hide. I heard somewhere those lines she said weren't suppose to be in the program but they never edit it out because they thought it would make the story juicier. She was so ashamed of that how ordeal she pretty much dropped off the face of the earth. Of course it makes me wonder why she decided to make a documentary about her strange obsession in the FIRST place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Enthusiasts are complaining because they see it as false advertising--which is illegal in some markets. Then again, there are some that don't consider Intamin Impulses (V2, Wicked Twister) as coasters because they aren't complete circuit. I needed stitches from how hard my jaw hit the ground in pure amazement at their stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 With 16, I'm guessing they're counting Eagle as 2 coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Just to recap, we're complaining about the hypothetical marketing strategy that the park might have for a ride that doesn't exist but might exist at some point down the line even though we have no reason to believe that it will because the hypothetical marketing strategy for the hypothetical ride might be "illegal" in some markets. Did I get all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugjackson Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 For anyone who hasn't heard: -Corp. wanted to give us a Larson Superloop in King Chao's spot for 2017 but Hank disapproved (Hopefully this means we still have a chance at one) Why the heck would you be hoping for that worthless piece of junk? It's literally the last flat ride anyone should want. The 5 SF Parks that didn't get them should be grateful. If SF wants that genre of ride, the Skywarp revealed at IAAPA is what they should get and it's only 2M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SF wants that genre of ride, the Skywarp revealed at IAAPA is what they should get and it's only 2M -5 SF parks do not have Superloops - Skywarp was revealed at IAAPA and costs $2m BRILLIANT! P.S. Have you called Six Flags corporate with your "facts"? I don't think they are aware. I'm sure they will compensate you greatly for your insight!

SF depends on people so ill informed on rides that are hoping for a 1970's era carnival ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
