Ed Farmer Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 No one to blame but myself for getting my hopes up about some form of HITP, and then essentially getting a Super Loop Coaster announced at me twice. Have a Six Flags day, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Please oh please Six Flags build a giant skull so this loopy loop coaster can go through its eyes. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This name is incredible. I love how odd it is and it's an interesting play on words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I honestly can't decide if this is one of the worst names I've ever heard or one of the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCHeadache Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 After such names like CraZanity and (Insert DC Character Here), "Mardi Gras Hangover" is a breath of fresh air from Six Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 They are also doing a Mardi Gras event as everyone predicted and no mention of HITP as everyone also predicted. No we just need Azoosment to announce their waterpark... I mean whatever they're adding this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 OMG...that is so awesome! They are totally embracing Six Flagsness with this one. Laissez les bons temps rouler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Wow, people are really jumping through hoops to come up with a problem with every name they come up with. Good lord... Personally I think this name is awesome in the "six-flagsiest" way possible. Saw the name on their Facebook feed this afternoon and people were complaining that it isn't a "family name" and that it "promotes drinking". Give me a break! I like the name. It's original and not another lame superhero themed ride. I would have screamed if they decided to call it "Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Say what you will about the name (at least it doesn't include the word "coaster" in the name), but that image is straight outta fright fest. But at the same time, it's all like: Don't mind me, I'm just flossing my eyes out with this steroid-infused Larson Looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 After such names like CraZanity and (Insert DC Character Here), "Mardi Gras Hangover" is a breath of fresh air from Six Flags. This. At least it's not something that lowers my IQ every time I type it, like CraZanity or (I am about to be officially dumb) Blue Hawk. Also, this is the second time today that Six Flags news had me checking to make sure I hadn't time traveled to April 1st. (Not sure why I was surprised that SFMM is really adding trims to Green Lantern...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I think my favorite part is how seemingly irrelevant the skull is to the entire ride and name, and yet it somehow ties it all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 ^ The important thing here is that yes, they are marketing it as coaster. They're just trollin at this point and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cedar Point, Valleyfair, and Kings Island can do it without negative reactions from Enthuisasts; So Can Six Flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamedturtle Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Okay, the part about them marketing it as a coaster is shameful. Calling Bourbon Street Fireball at SFA their 10th coaster is just awful. BUT, Mardi Gras Hangover is an incredible name. I'm in awe. It's original, it pushes boundaries, and most importantly, it's hilarious!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Okay, the part about them marketing it as a coaster is shameful. Calling Bourbon Street Fireball at SFA their 10th coaster is just awful. 2 Things to defend Six Flags: - Valleyfair called their Northern Lights DiskO Coaster a Coaster before Six Flags called any Larson Loop a Coaster. - Six Flags called them coasters from the beginning, Cedar Point called theirs a coaster months AFTER it was announced. The only thing I can't wait for is Cedar Point's 201ft Model called LoopHawk with all of Cedar Point's 20 Records Broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Okay, the part about them marketing it as a coaster is shameful. Calling Bourbon Street Fireball at SFA their 10th coaster is just awful. Its neither shameful nor awful. They bought the damn thing, they can market it however they want. Just because they call it a coaster doesn't mean you or any other enthusiasts has to. The fact that it gets nerds so riled up over something that has little to no consequence on their lives makes it more and more awesome imo. In fact, I hope Six Flags buy a second super loop for one of their parks that has one and then market it as dueling coasters just so I can watch some heads explode.

Never mind my "shameful" and "awful" hyperbole. It's just my opinion that it's not a coaster, and marketing something that we all (I think) agree isn't a coaster as one for a notable milestone (10th coaster) is, I don't know, a little disappointing. And if Six Flags wants to call their next tilt-a-whirl a coaster, then I can simultaneously hold the position that it's hilarious and terrible. I'm not a nerd who gets so riled up over things that it affects my purchases, etc. Finally, if you actually hope Six Flags buys a second loop thing for one of their parks just to watch people freak out about it, then I'm not the only one being a little hyperbolic. Now back to Mardi Gras Hangover!! Awesome name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ape Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 If it angers people then I believe it is a coaster. Why do people care so much is my question, regardless of what it is classified as they are still fun rides and even if you don't like them parks usually have more than 1 ride to enjoy.

Every little bit of this post sums up my opinion perfectly. They're fun, I don't care what they're called and I love that it pisses people off.

anonymouscactus Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I love that it pisses people off. I could have used this image about 8,000 times since it's inception but I figured it was time to bring it back from the dead... lol I know i originally didn't know what to think, but now that my brain has calmed down I love that Six Flags actually made a unique name so kudos to them.
