-Edge of Beast- Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Thought it doesn't fit the rest of the water park, it's definitely something different. I never knew they had any of these at any park. Looks pretty interesting though! Oughta increase wait times by a hand full.
Parallax Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just noticed that Bizarro's trains are backwards on the 2011 park map.
Schotcher Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just noticed that Bizarro's trains are backwards on the 2011 park map. I think you're reading way too much into this....
A.J. Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 IMO, turning Bizarro's trains around backwards would cause more trouble for the park than needed. One of those "great in theory, horrible in practice" things. I was personally fine when it was still called Medusa...
Parallax Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just noticed that Bizarro's trains are backwards on the 2011 park map. I think you're reading way too much into this.... I'm not saying that it will happen because it won't. It was just an idea I had and I found it funny that it was on the park map.
kunpc1 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ^^Agreed. I was good with Medusa as well. But if it worked for the park to re-brand it, I guess it's a good thing. I completely forgot there were only 2 seats available in the back row this past summer when I visited... I'd be okay with that if the audio worked on a regular basis!
larrygator Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 The transitions look really rough on the map and they removed the theming. IT MEANS NOTHING!
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hopefully they'll re-do the trains so they're 32 and not 30*. *PS, 2 seats were removed to add audio effects. Just in case you didn't know.
cal1br3tto Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Serious idea or not, turning the trains backwards just seems too, well, bizarre for me. I can see how the theming change might bring the idea to mind, but some coasters just don't seem like they should ever go backwards. Of course, I'd probably be first in line if that ever did happen to a floorless...
UrbanLegend Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just noticed that Bizarro's trains are backwards on the 2011 park map. I would definitely take the park map with a grain of salt (the size of your fist). The Six Flags maps are even less accurate than the Cedar Fair ones IMO, and they don't even have the charm that CF does. Or maybe they're trying to tell us that they'll remove the zero-G roll as well... CONSPIRACY!!!
deguy123 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 The one thing about Bizarro's theming that always makes me laugh is the horse that is sideways on the front of the station. Now thats Bizarre!
Parallax Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I did say I know it isn't going to happen. There are a lot of errors on the map, I just found it funny that the backwards train was one of them considering I had the idea a few days ago. The ride was fine as Medusa, but I prefer Bizarro. It's really the same exact thing, just with mist and fire so I guess it's better with more. I've only been on it as Medusa once, and about 12 since it's become Bizarro. The on board audio is just crap though. They should go back to the regular trains that have 32 seats instead of 30. And while they're at it, make them backwards (I feel the need to say that this is sarcasm).
Guy T. Koepp Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 ^Thank you for doing that. Cause nobody here gets sarcasm.
jps294 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Great Adventure has posted construction pictures on Facebook! CLICK HERE for more pictures! Also Hurricane Harbor has posted a new promo of their new attraction King Cobra!
UrbanLegend Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Hooray for vertical construction! I completely forgot this thing was going in. The colors look a little bit Superman-ish too. But yay for Sky Screamers.
biker7766 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Oh finally, some vertical construction. I can't believe that the elephants or the scrambler isn't going to be ready for opening!! What? The ride looks great, love the vibrant colors!
biker7766 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 New SkyScreamer photos posted this morning on SFGAdv's FaceBook Just click to the left button to see the other photos!
UrbanLegend Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 http://www.webcitation.org/65VNNWB6G In all likelihood it's going to the scrap heap, but idle speculation sure beats studying any day of the week Assuming some park is willing to handle this ride's baggage (perhaps switch to LSMs?), where do you think it would go? EDIT: Another random question I just thought of. What's the longest a coaster has been in storage and lived to tell about it?
SharkTums Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 ^I keep hearing very strong rumors that it will live again...not in the US, but it may live!
schotj Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 ^I keep hearing very strong rumors that it will live again...not in the US, but it may live! This would be awesome. When it was running well, which was not often....it was my favorite ride at the park. You'd definitely think with the technology going on today behind some of the rides out there they'd be able to resurrect it.
CoasterPrince Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Why is Chiller's sale constantly brought up? Hasn't it been sold for like 6 months now?
deguy123 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I would love for Chiller to be reborn somewhere else even if its overseas, I still need to ride Batman side with just lapbars!
PhantomNick Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I too hope it gets new life somewhere else. When I made my first trip to the park in 2006, it was a bummer to see it sitting there, looking like a cool ride I'd enjoy, but idle and closed. I'm always a sucker for lapbar-only inversions! As for their new Star Flyer, if I'm thinking correctly, won't this one be the tallest one built in the US so far? I think it will add nicely to the park's skyline.
larrygator Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 ^Yes, I think this beats the one at Magical Midway by 10 feet. ONLY 143 feet short of Wiener Prater's.
11slataus Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Is there any reason why Chiller was down so much more than the Mr. Freeze's? They're similar rides, Chiller just seemed to not work.
