chickenbowl Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Happy end to the coaster drought! (At least the colors are interesting!) 2015 was a pretty good coaster year though. I meant the coaster drought at SFGAdv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I want to believe it's fake and the surprise isn't spoiled, but that looks really good. If it is real, the colors look good, but why would they go with the small model again? It would be a lot more marketable if it were longer and had more flips. I'm hearing a lot of good things though, so I bet this will be a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcoaster Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 This is brutal. I was expecting a 4-D but at least give us the larger version. I'm feeling slighted to be honest. Not even a good theme, they just decided to plop it on the lakefront with a generic theme. Any sort of theming would have been better than this. Oh well, I think this will play into my thinking that we will see another coaster added in 2016 or 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Total mayhem Call me crazy, but I am really not buying this. . . Until it comes straight from Six Flags then I am not going to believe it. For some reason I don't believe this "Tammy Duffy" really knows anything more than anyone else. If you watch this video, and the it is damn near the same video. Same shots of the coaster, except maybe mirrored, and same music... It just looks like someone had some fun with some video editing software. While yes Six Flags could use similar promo videos for the two coasters I highly doubt the two videos would be this similar. Maybe I'm on my own here, but I really don't think this is the real deal. If it is I will be surprised, but for now I am not holding my breath.

Mega_Coaster_77 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 WAIT A MINUTE!!! That picture on the website depicts a boomerang in the background. The SAME boomerang at FIesta Texas. Same colors and everything. you can even see the same one in the background in the batman the ride animation in the same place facing the same direction. Also, the sign on the side of the ride in the picture is the same as the batman one. It looks like this person just edited a picture on top of the batman logo. Also, in the video of the ride, there is no sign at all. This is so confusing, as it looks real, but its not checking out. Also, this guy who runs the site that this picture was posted to is selling art on it. could that mean hes an artist and that he knows how to do this stuff professionally? I dont know, just speculation. Probably not. But at least we are still not sure if this is real or fake. We will find out when the real announcement comes out.

Coaster Hero Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It's real for sure. This has Keith's animation style written all over it, and you can even see his Kingda Ka animation in the background, as well as the other background rides in the park. The material settings look exactly the same as B:TR's rendering, it's nearly identical. It's a shame they didn't spring for the 10 inversion model, this thing is unfortunately going to be a capacity nightmare if next year is anywhere near as crowded as this year was. I think I'll wait until later in the year to ride it (given that it's SF it may very well open then ), when the hype finally dies down and I won't have to wait 5 hours to ride it. I really think the ride experience doesn't justify the ridiculous wait times this thing will get. It actually looks a lot better on the lake than I thought, and the color scheme is pretty cool with the 2 color rails, but the color choice could have been better. This definitely means Roar could get this sort of color scheme too. The theming/name could also have been better. Another reason it's real is because typically the park releases the animation to the media early but it's strictly confidential so that they can prepare their articles in advance. Apparently someone leaked it and I don't think the'yll be at media day any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a thing or two about video editing and I can definitely say that that this video was not made from the SFFT Batman video. The background rides fit in too well with the video for it to be a person having fun with video editing software. What this most likely is was the animation company doing a copy and paste of the Batman ride model and animation in to the Great Adventure park model. The reason some of the animations and music are identical is probably because they were just placeholders until they could come up with new ones for the final video we may see tomorrow. This probably an unfinished trailer for the ride that got leaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega_Coaster_77 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 ^ Maybe I'll be surprised come morning but I'm going with legit on that clip. If its a fake its really good.

Woodie Warrior Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 And the whiny enthusiasts from the CW and KD threads seemed to have made their way to the SFGAdv thread. Seriously guys, you already have El Toro, Kingda Ka, and Nitro, plus plenty of other coasters. This is far different from anything else currently at the park and is way better than what most other parks will be getting this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something just doesn't seem right to me. For someone extremely, and I mean insanely experienced it would take a few days. For anyone else it would take weeks, to months. Keyframe animations take a LONG time to do. I see what you mean though about something being abnormal, I'm thinking perhaps it may not be the final release.

That would explain the "no stats" and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
