jlp94 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 To all you complaining... it's something. It's a kickass launch and many other elements to follow. Once we see it start to test we'll probably love it. Would you rather have it just go up and down like Kingda Ka or Dragster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirloindude Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 ... it's something.With a compliment that great, how could we not get excited? I kid, I kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteVeUrkle Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Honestly, it's hard to understand why the park would put SO MUCH MONEY into a new coaster then cut the circuit short when they could easily make this another 1000 feet long with an airtime hill and helix and be on par with Cedar Fair's newer attractions. I felt the same way about Fulll Throttle at SFMM. Six Flags' newer attractions just seem to be cut a bit shorter, and I think it affects the overall experience. That time you could be doing just *a little bit more* you're sitting on a brake run in the sun waiting for the 2nd train to dispatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half coasters still bring in crowds at half the cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money doesn't always come easy. Take it for what it's worth, but these shorter length roller coasters allow for all parks to receive new additions under Six Flags' current budget.

thrillseeker4552 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'm just excited to see Six Flags build unique, custom, ground-up roller coasters this year (WCR and Maxx Force) after several years of cookie-cutter Joker clones, Justice Leagues, and Giant Discoveries with a couple RMCs thrown in the mix. Sure it's short, but it boasts an intense launch and FIVE inversions in such a short amount of track. This does way more with it's track length than Full Throttle does, in my opinion.

tanthonyam Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 5 inversions?? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Also I'm obviously not an expert on this, but I suspect that adding significant additional length to Maxx Force may not be as inexpensive as you make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i305isdaddy Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Goliath also seems like it was built to have a 2nd half... instead of swerving up and to the right into the brakes at 70mph it seems like they meant for there to be a lot more left. Everything at this park is so short! Goliath and then Joker and now this... it's the land of waiting in long lines for 15 seconds of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does way more with it's track length than YOLOcoaster does, in my opinion. This is exciting. Can't wait to ride this, probably next year.

prozach626 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Look how short a launched coaster like Mr. Freeze is and how good of a ride it produces. This will be great. Clearly these aren't the days of SF building Raging Bull sized coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If you want to whine about Maxx so damn much we'd KILL for that ride in STL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Would I like to see a great ride never end? Yes. Who wouldn't? But I just care that the ride is great. I've been on short rides that are awesome and long rides that are duds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 5 inversions?? Really? Ummm... it clearly inverts 5 times.... Where’s the confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanthonyam Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 i only see 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG-77 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The two giant inversions are both double inversions, where the train inverts, then rolls back right-side-up, before going back upsidedown and completing the element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 i only see 3 Watch the official YouTube video. There’s 5 inversions. Inversions 1, and 2. Inversion 3 Inversion 4 Inversion 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 To be honest when Maxx Force was announced I didn’t noticed there were 5 inversions until I realized the 4th was right before the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9Armgeddon4 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 So the trains for Maxx Force have finally arrived this past week so hopefully testing can start soon. I also finally got to see the coaster in person over the weekend. Whizzer is open now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i305isdaddy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Calling the first and last inversions "2 inversions" is a biiiiit of a stretch but hey, it's a 10 second ride let Six Flags have their marketing I guess. We call all the weird inversions and inverted turns that RMC creates single elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
