p-sychiatrist Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Kinda random, but there's a survey up on Six Flags asking about potential events like a Gaming Convention, Comic Con, Spring Fright Fest, and even Tomato Fight (like the ones in Spain). I personally think a Comic Con type event where they'd bring in actors from The Flash or the upcoming Justice League movies would be so awesome!! I really hope they attempt something like that considering New York Comic Con sold out in seconds this year haha Here's the survey: http://feedback.sixflags.com/AdvisoryPanel/finish.aspx?sc=R12525755806 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terdferg Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I hope not a batman clone. People will love it, but personally I'd ride teacups if I wanted to spin and puke. Coasters to me should feel like I'm covering some sort of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I just think everyone is jumping the gun a bit. The park just opened their 13th coaster and we already talking about next year. Lets just let this new coaster sink in a bit before moving on to next year. What thirteenth coaster? The last coaster that they built was in 2011.

Coasters to me should feel like I'm covering some sort of distance. Flipping is different from spinning. Spinning messes with your vertigo much more to make you nauseous. Being upside down and flipping around is easier to handle, and really doesn't make the ride a spin and puke like many think it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't be surprised if a 4D free spin showed up at Gradv, simply because I think Six Flags is going to put them in several parks. I can see SFOG, SFGAM, SFStl, SFGradv,SFDK, SFM, and possibly SFA receiving them at some point. It's an inexpensive ride that takes up a very small footprint and it's getting rave reviews at Fiesta Texas so far.

Mega_Coaster_77 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Whats the difference between the S&S freefly and the S&S freespin? i hear people talking about both and i dont know what the exact difference is between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops I meant 4D free spin which is the one at Fiesta Texas. The free fly is Tranan in Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega_Coaster_77 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 yeah on the SFFT website it says free fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 ^You're right I just looked on SFFT's website and they do call it a Free Fly. So maybe the names are interchangeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil009 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I would love to see a free spin coaster at Great Adventure if it actually, like, you know, turned. What is the deal with these 4D coasters and not turning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I was wondering the same thing about the lack of turns. Perhaps they are trying to market them as compact, budget coasters. Their tiny footprint allows almost any park to find room for it. The only worry I have about a freespin at GADV is capacity. The park is full of people eaters and there are still 1-2 hour waits for everything in the summer. A 4D coaster on the lake would be massively popular and I am not confident that a freespin would able to handle those kinds of crowds. Anyone who has ever waited for SUF can tell you that GADV really cant handle anything but great capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil009 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Now I'm imagining a free spin with a fully realized out-and-back layout complete with twists and airtime hills (made possible because S&S can use magnets to limit where on the track the cars can spin) and I have to stop because it's too depressing because it'll never happen.

Password121 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Alan schilke said in an interview that turns aren't possible in the design just yet due to the mechanics of the ride--turns add laterals, which make things much more complicated with free spinning, unlike X2, which is controlled spinning, therefore allowing turns. I assume keeping the layout on one plane makes the ride millions cheaper, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really crazy, I usually stop by the park from 10:30-12:30 on Memorial Day Sunday since I'm in the area for a friend's BBQ every year. I just don't ever recall it being this bad on a Memorial Day Sunday. Cars were still lined up past the WaWa trying to enter the park when I left.
