thrillseeker4552 20 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Considering West Coast Racers is still a bunch of dirt, I would be VERY happy with Maxx Force’s progress! Link to post Share on other sites
ytterbiumanalyst 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Oh come on now, they've got plenty of time to get both of these open before August. Photo looks great, gives a good sense of scale. Link to post Share on other sites
JT325 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I was looking at a picture of the ride and it seems there might be brake brackets on the dive into the station - but over 90 degrees. Geez, they'd have YOLO coaster beat on steepness of brakes. "First coaster with brakes while still upside-down." Drove past the park yesterday, the ride isn't very attractive. I suppose black and white paint is the cheapest. Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeydad 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I believe I heard the whole ride is 17 seconds...with 5 inversions, (according to RCDB). That's going to be pretty crazy! Link to post Share on other sites
ytterbiumanalyst 0 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Wikipedia says 25 seconds, although none of the four citations actually gives a ride time. Regardless, it should be a short, intense experience. Link to post Share on other sites
JT325 0 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 5 minutes if you count sitting in brakes Sorry, had to. (In reality, I think Six Flags is aware of it's efficiency history and has been doing something about it, especially Great America.) I'm sure it will be a fun ride! Think of the view we'll get of Whizzer. Link to post Share on other sites
prozach626 34 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 ^ Haha. True. Drove past the park yesterday, the ride isn't very attractive. I suppose black and white paint is the cheapest. Can't be any worse than Steel Curtain. Two words: Mustard Yellow. Link to post Share on other sites
JG-77 3 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I actually like the color scheme of both the S&S’s... Link to post Share on other sites

ytterbiumanalyst 0 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 You don't seriously think that would stop Six Flags from advertising that, do you? Link to post Share on other sites

Forgot about those, good point! You don't seriously think that would stop Six Flags from advertising that, do you? Great reminder. With SF anything is game haha. "Cleanest theme park in the country." "Best waterpark in the country." They had those spring-signs on the midways advertising that a few years ago. And then ads in front of every urinal. There is a strange and wonderful serenity to go to places like Holiday World and staring at a blank wall while I pee. Such needed tranquility in a private moment. Link to post Share on other sites

thrillseeker4552 20 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 ^Agreed. I'm so pumped for this ride. There is a fair chance I'm going to SFGAm this summer (along with CP). Hopefully this opens by mid-late July since that is the time frame we're looking at. Link to post Share on other sites
bluestreak 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Anybody ever stay at the La Quinta right by the park? Looking into staying there since it's the only hotel I've found near the park that allows people under the age of 21 to check in. Link to post Share on other sites
ben2008 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Anybody ever stay at the La Quinta right by the park? Looking into staying there since it's the only hotel I've found near the park that allows people under the age of 21 to check in. I've stayed there back in 2015 while visiting. Totally recommend it since it's conveniently close to the park. Link to post Share on other sites

prozach626 34 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 That's looks like an intimidating turnaround. It should look pretty cool from that nearest point of the Southwest territory. Link to post Share on other sites
JJLehto 0 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 It does look like an epic ride. Been lucky to have gotten on Hypersonic and that launch was something else. Since this is basically the same, that will be a helluva ride, I imagine it'll be forceful and have ejector on that hop, but damn so short. Gunna hold off on getting there this year, will wait for the reviews Link to post Share on other sites
