Sk610 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Love that they are actually fixing up a few needed rides as opposed to just removing them. I wonder if EPR is trying to sell to SF? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Looks like Mind Eraser is getting some work. Track profiling?? Could be pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I saw this earlier too. It certainly seems that either SF or EPR or both are sinking along of much needed money into the park. I could also see this Mind Eraser refurbishment as a way for SF to add the DC character themes back to the park. If they remove rizzly run, they have a huge plot of land with which to create Gotham City and ME gets renamed and tethered to batman or the joker for 2025 with a few flat or dark rides and shops. I have to say that if that were to happen and they get a second train for ROS, the park could be well on its way to much better things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Ten bucks says its the T3 trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 T3 is being sold to a park in the UK. For once the park is actually getting a solid investment lol. Honestly I'm more interested in the track re profiling than the trains. But the trains will be great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk610 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Apparently Morey's Piers did the same thing to their SLC a few years back. They brought in new track and added some extra supports and new trains. The reviews say it's actually fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Morey's SLC was a very extensive refurb. They had entirely new track made using CAD techniques that weren't available when the ride was first built. It's almost an entirely new ride, and yes, it is fantastic. It rides closer to a B&M invert than what you think of from a stereotypical SLC. On top of the way it's entwined with the water park, it's a legitimately fantastic coaster now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovethesink Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Yeah I doubt they are doing anything close to the Morey's SLC re-do, but even just tossing on the better trains is night and day. See Riddler's Revenge at SFNE as a regionally close example. Add at least some reprofiling too and we are probably going to have a real winner here. I didn't expect this and it is a very pleasant surprise to couple with the work the company has been doing on Predator each year. I really hope they continue working on the existing coasters (trains please!) before looking forward to any new big capital investments that would take away from their ability to fix the current problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricklap77 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I actually enjoy the Vekoma SLC's! They do give a wild ride and we all know it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAmericanKnight Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Is there anything new at all on whether or not new rides and / or a new mildly themed area is going to accompany the refurbishment of Mind Eraser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sk610 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 So apparently Mind Eraser has been fully painted and all "track reprofiling" has been done. I'm not sure what that means but we will find out next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 You never know. Hopefully the juice was worth the squeeze, unlike with T3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Great Nor'easter rides great for an SLC now, but granted that was a ground-up rebuild. Time will tell with this one I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
716coaster420 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Lol did anyone see any track movement for the "track reprofiling"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatroc Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Nothing looked much like it was reprofiled at all. But the ride looks gorgeous all repainted.

716coaster420 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Just bringing this up as a fun topic. Obviously nothing has been announced, but ppl are tossing the thought around that Green Lantern is closing at Great Adventure (again speculation). I've seen quite a few ppl bring up the idea of it being relocated to a smaller park, with SFDL being one of the parks mentioned. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 If it was a new ride, sure, give it to someone else. But the ride has already been relocated once and produces high positive forces, so I question its longevity at any park if it was to be relocated instead of scrapped.
