TheAmericanKnight Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Screamscape is now saying there are still possible plans to remove Ride of Steel and for the true owners of the park to sell it back to Six Flags to relocate to another park. This is despite the park literally coming out on Twitter to say they are not removing Ride of Steel. What is Screamscape even doing at this point?

coasterbill Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 To be fair, if the park were planning to remove Ride of Steel but plans aren't finalized or it's not for the 2022 season they would say exactly what they just said on Twitter even if it's bullsh*t. What the park said should be given almost no weight whatsoever because regardless of their plan, of course that's what they would say. That said, it's still a stupid rumor and it's probably never happening. It strikes me as something fed to Screamscape by a troll. My point is not that it should be given any legitimacy, just that the park's Tweet means nothing. The thing that should talk people off of the ledge is their own common sense, not the park's Tweet. Also here's an exhaustive list of Six Flags Parks that don't have a hypercoaster or ridiculously strict height limits and asshole neighbors: - Frontier City where they have no room for that thing. - Six Flags Fiesta Texas but where the hell are they fitting that thing? - Six Flags St. Louis but give me a f*cking break... The ride is obnoxiously huge with obnoxiously huge helixes that take up tons of room for no reason. Everything is low to the ground so it can't fit over anything unless you raise the entire thing way up in the air. There are only two parks in the chain where it could even go and it would take up a ridiculous chunk of their parking lots. They are on crack.

SharkTums Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 While in line for Ice Breaker on Friday some random people walked by and said, "Oh, Darien Lake has this same coaster". I am still desperately trying to figure out what they could have confused Ice Breaker with at Darien Lake!?!??! LOL!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouscactus Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Change the coaster name to "heart breaker" and that would be a good comparison to Darien Lake's coasters and could easily be confused 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im getting a sick feeling that if that does happen, that it goes to SFoG and takes over the employee parking lot. Park hasn't had a new ORGINAL coaster since DDD and that's over a decade old. I know it would mean two hypers, but management loves how the skyline looks from I-20, and RoS would add on to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiesta has a ton of space behind the boardwalk/Pandemonium. . . and it goes all the back along the side of the Parking lot, and behind the Employee offices over there. I'm still hoping we someday get a woodie out and back tho. . as that would REALLY fit the boardwalk theming there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 So you think that they’re going to build a worse hypercoaster right next to their much-better hypercoaster right in front of the park that’s been there for years? What kind of idiotic and probably supremely-overhyped park would do something like that? While they’re doing dumb shit, why don’t they just move the drop tower from Darien Lake too and put it right next to their other one? At this point just throw all logic out the window… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haymaker Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 ^ Besides that, I'll also add that SF would have no say on its disposition after removal, because they dont own it. They only own SkyScreamer and Wahoo Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haymaker Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Drove by yesterday, footers are in and heavy equipment staged at the Wahoo Wave site. Some slide pieces were in the parking lot too, cant remember if they were there during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouscactus Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I still don't understand the point of having this and a tornado in the same water park. Has anyone done both? Is there really that much of a difference? I've been on a ton of tornados but no 'wahoo or whatever this model is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on something similar at Water Country, its similar in that you go up and down a steep wall, but thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
