ride of steel Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I did a crap ton of Geography. I don't think SFSL is telling the truth lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 ^ Oh you did, did ya? Well, considering we can see Philly's skyline fairly easily from our tall rides at Great Adventure, and that's 52 miles to the southwest, I'm inclined to believe SFSL's claim, considering the arch is only 34 miles away from the park. Darien Lake on the other hand is three hundred and sixty f*cking miles from Manhattan. Clearly a typo, but a hilarious one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I can't recall off hand, but you can see a long way. SFStL is up in the hills, and the Skyscreamer is at the highest part of the park. The Arch is right next to the river, so it's not only pretty close to the park, it's also well below it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlcMechanic Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I know that sleigh-ride was getting rebulbed last time I knew that's why it looks so bare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Never been to this park, not a high priority, probably never will, but I know it's been said, many times, many ways, I love coming to this thread just for the amusement. Best amusement not in a park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I know that sleigh-ride was getting rebulbed last time I knew that's why it looks so bare Assuming by last time you're referring to last weekend? We know the big ole tarp blew off last year a week before the season began and then it has remained in that state ever since. Something tells me re-bulbing the attraction isn't the only reason they haven't acquired a new soft roof for the structure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The roof is sitting next to the ride right now. Behind the bar building next to it. Also with tons of asking around a POV watching I've concluded Gateway Arch is not visible from Skyscreamer as there is a massive hill in the way (Pretty funny if you ask me) but knowing Six Flags with their whole "combined speed thing" they're talking about a small part if Buffalo called Manhatten or something.

But there has been opening days in the past where they didnt have it on and put it on later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnn2031 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 "Blew off" is a bit of an exaggeration. It was damaged by the wind and removed to be (not) repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely not a thing - but I appreciate your creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago’s skyline can be seen from the tall rides at Great America also when it’s a clear day and that’s 45 miles or so away. But yeah you got love that typo it’s so Six Flags.

anonymouscactus Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Well since we're reporting on the crucial things such as new painted lines in the parking lot, I have spotted two different digital billboard ads for SFDL.... one featuring skyscreamer and one just the park in general... while driving on the 33. Take that, parking lot lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbuck5 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Every coaster with the exception of Predator should be open this weekend. Today’s issues were staffing shortages. Still no music in the park which is very weird and you don’t realize how quiet it can be. Blast off had spools of what looked like new cables, so it’s possible they’re replacing one or all of the cables on the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride of steel Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'll be there tomorrow, you may be right about Blast Off's cable. The one facing Boomerang has been covered in oil for years and they just out buckets and towels under it. The others looked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the speakers are still there, just Six Flags doesn’t seem to want to use them, which doesn’t seem like something they’d do. Maybe a new speaker system is coming soon??

ride of steel Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I'm starting to think it has something to do with the Ignite the Night. They started testing lights on Opening Day and when they did the music near Crossroads all the way up to Skyscreamer started playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
