coasterbill Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I couldn't possibly care less but I'm sure this will piss everyone off for some reason. Nostradamus, John Edwards and that Long Island medium woman have nothing on me, nothing.

martinb Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Is early June a good time to visit SFGAdv? I've heard it's quiet midweek but they have a tendency to close Toro for maintenance? Could it be better to go at the weekend and buy a q-bot instead?
coasterbill Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Everything should be open but Joker will quite possibly not be ready yet. I've never once been to the park where Toro was closed except the day it valleyed due to high winds and 40 degree temps. That won't be an issue in June though.
Superbatboy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Aw man, I love coming into this thread in the evening and seeing the devestation that happened during the day. You bet!!!! Me too!! Sometimes I need popcorn White cheddar preferably, with an ice cold Coke
neil009 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I think there's about a 3 to 1 ratio of people talking about others arguing to people actually arguing.
Nitro1118 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I think there's about a 3 to 1 ratio of people talking about others arguing to people actually arguing. Yep. Then people like you say something, which causes people complaining about the complaining to get offended and start complaining about you. It's a vicious cycle Anyway, I've noticed a big spike in hype in real life of our new 4D since the retheme. Besides being the more aesthetically pleasing choice, it seems to have paid off marketing-wise as well. I'm proud of GAdv acknowledging their awful choice of ride names and changing them mid-offseason 2 years in a row. Gotta give credit when it's due!
boldikus Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 ^ I think there is some truth to that. People I work with that typically mention coaster news/announcements to me made no mention of ToteMay back in Sept, but a bunch of them have asked me if I "knew about Great Adventures new roller coaster?" within the past few days.
Genx24 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 ^Same here. My family and friends know I'm a coaster person so I've been getting that same question this week. They're shocked when I tell them I've known about it since September.
strz Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 It will be interesting to see what happens on this one, regarding removing 15,000+ trees near SFGA, in order to build a solar farm to power up the park: http://www.app.com/story/news/local/jackson-lakewood/jackson/2016/01/29/six-flags-solar-farm-jackson/79517312/
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 ^ that would make it more environment friendly. Except for the trash people leave.
El Toro_Ryan Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 In 2016, say goodbye to one of your favorite attractions from the 90's. Hope you had time to cherish it and all its glory. #RIP

boldikus Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Please say its Twister. Jolly Roger? Teacups? Not Houdini!!!!! As far as coasters, I could see it being Bizarro before Skull Mountain, unfortunately. Skull Mountain does good numbers and its a quality family coaster. Bizarro is mostly deadsville and thats a decent amount of space back there they could use for something else. I would be gutted, but there has been speculation/rumors about Bizarros removal for years. If they gave it to SFA I wouldn't be mad. Sure as hell won't be Batman. That leaves BBLTT.
p-sychiatrist Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Seems like The Joker coaster is bringing more changes to the park than we originally thought. I have a very good hunch about what it is, but I'm not going to say. Here's a hint: they might not get rid of the dolphin show at Fort Independence after all...

When do we figure out what it is? Or are we going to have to wait a while to figure it out? Also, will it be closed in the offseason, or will it be open in 2016 and closing at the end of this season?
KBrylczyk Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Here's a hint: they might not get rid of the dolphin show at Fort Independence after all... Well, considering Fort Independence is sitting in a landfill somewhere, I'm gonna guess the Batman Stunt Show arena is being converted.
Nitro1118 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I could honestly see it being Skull Mountain due to its proximity to Joker. I could definitely see them expanding their rehaul of the lakefront even further, including Skull Mountain. Wouldn't surprise me if they tore it down to build a Justice League ride, reusing the exterior shell of the building.
njcoasterguy34 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 They better not even THINK of removing Skull Mountain!
coasterbill Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) He never said it was a ride, but if it is the only ones that really seem like a possibility are Twister because it's a maintenance nightmare and they might be done cannibalizing the SFNE ride for parts, Blackbeard and Jolly Roger (doubt it but maybe if they make Panda Express a Chop Six they'll expand it and this ride really, really sucks). I don't see it being Houdini, it's popular, it was a big hit at HITP and they have one at SFNE that nobody rides that they could use for parts if they ever wanted to so that would close long before this one. If it is a ride, it's probably Houdini or Twister. If it's not it's probably the Batman Stunt Theater thing. As far as Twister though it's got to be a matter of time. That thing is easily the most unreliable ride in the park... Kingda Ka could only dream of being such an unreliable piece of crap. It's pretty much always broken. If you ever see it open it's a minor miracle. And for you Skull Mountain people... lol what? Why would they fix the waterfall so it could run for 2 weekends, then spend a ton of time making a Christmas light net to cover it and then close it forever... especially when it's the second most popular coaster in the park and is completely weather proof and now they do a Holiday event.

Password121 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 They just did a major refurbishment last spring on Twister so I don't think it's that. I also don't think it would be Houdini for what coasterbill mentioned. If it is the Batman Arena... something big could be coming for 2017 that's been rumored.
Genx24 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 My safe guess is that it is Twister. My outlandish guess is that they're removing the old Batman arena to begin construction on the dueling T-Rex. EDIT: NEVERMIND. It's obvious (to me): Sim building and go-karts being removed for Justice League.
