woolandmammoth Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I just can't believe they named it Total Mayham. I mean, thats a really dumb name. I understand this is Six Flags and I should expect much, but what the heck. At least its not super hero themed. Overal, It makes for a good addition. I think some people on this site don't realize just how slammed Gadv can get and thus don't understand locals capacity paranoia. If other posters who are saying the capacity is not that bad are right, this is a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 LOL I wake up and check this thread and its now more people complaining about people complaining than the actually complainers themselves. Good job, guys. As I stated many times before the announcement, this isn't what I personally would've wanted and I'm gutted they are plopping this ugly thing in front of the freshly cleared out lakefront not to mention the name is horrible, but now that it confirmed, this will be a huge hit for the park. After the super loop fiasco we're actually getting a coaster! WOOT! The GP is gonna eat it right up and it will take crowds away from the rides I go to this park for. So its a win. I'll be grabbing my 2016 season pass regardless of this addition, but I'll check this out. (Passholder previews FTW.) Maybe it will be awesome, we'll see come July 4th! YOU DOLT! you idiots! You're, like, short-bus special, dude. Wow. Dude is it possible for you to disagree with someone with insulting them? Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster1227 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Looks like a fun ride for sure... But as others have said, the location and theme decision seem a little silly. Knowing Six Flags though, this will likely be re-themed and integrated into a semi-themed realm in the next decade and marketed as totally new.

DoinItForTheFame Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Well, turns out the video was real. Guess I'll go eat my shoe now... or something like that. I will say that I have yet to go on Batman at SFFT, however it looks like a great addition to the park and the GP seems to love it, I'm sure the same will be the case for this park! At the end of the day it is still a new coaster for a park. Shouldn't we all be happy about that, regardless of how you personally feel about the coaster?? YOU DOLT! you idiots! You're, like, short-bus special, dude. Wow. Dude is it possible for you to disagree with someone with insulting them? Jesus. THIS. It's okay to have a different opinion then someone else, but really?? Some of the insulting is just being downright hateful. "Short-bus special?" I mean really??? 1.) That could be incredibly offensive to someone on here who may have special needs children. 2.) Do you really feel the need to go that low in order to make yourself feel better about your side of an argument??

805Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm glad another S&S 4D Free Fly is getting built. It looks like a better version of a ZacSpin. This will be a great addition to the park, even if it has a dumb name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b&mforever Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The capacity complaints are completely valid. This is a park that has rides with upwards of 1500 people per hour some close to 2000 per hour. Nitro easily can exceed that 1500 per hour in real world capacity. Lets say that this ride is able to achieve 80% of its theoretical capacity on a regular basis. Thats still less than half of Nitros Capacity. This allows the line to build up and get longer vs something like nitro that often eats through the line faster than it can form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkFunk Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It's a ride with the same theoretical capacity as a Vekoma Boomerang being run by Six Flags crews. I mean, OK. It could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Being the small model, I would have loved it to be placed above the old chiller station, using that as the station. Placement is my only gripe. This is a great, modest addition that the GP will eat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftThrill Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was sort of wishing it was the 10 inversion model. I really like the way SF is going with multi-color rails on their new coasters, and the color scheme of this looks cool. The name is sort of lame, but these rides are pretty fun, so yay.

Sneetch2 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 As someone who worked for the company before and knows about theoretical versus actual capacity. Even if they dispatched 1 train every minute which as we all know is a stretch that is 480 people an hour. And like someone said once you add flash pass the line will move at a snails pace. It is a very very low capacity coaster. Now with that being said do I think this is what Great Adventure should have gotten absolutely not. But on the flip side am I excited to ride it HELL YEAH! I am a coaster enthusiast so my ass will be on it as soon as the chance arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Replying first before all of the idiot fanboys of this park do nothing but whine about how they "deserve" something better. A 4D Free Fly is an AMAZING ride and you little bastards are gonna love it, regardless of how butthurt you are. Now shut up. I'm one of those idiots......nice addition to my local park, but it isn't my style/dissappointed that this is coming as the "big addition" to SFGA....so there!

DirkFunk Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Harsh truth: if you guys are all expecting Six Flags to build you a 3 train giga coaster, they're being run by the wrong people to deliver that to you. If it bothers you that much and you're a local, well, you live in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. You have countless amusement parks to go to instead.

Barge84 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think it's a great addition. That area of the park really needed something, and I think it will look great right next to the water. I've heard great things about the model at SFFT. As for the capacity, unless they're tearing down some of their other rides, I don't think it's that big of a concern after the 2016 season... Great Adventure has always had one of the best collections of rides, and adding this only makes it that much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b&mforever Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Its understandable why Great Adventure fans are a bit disappointed though. This is a low capacity ride in one of the most visited parks in the chain. Also the fact that the other flagship parks have all received several brand new major new coasters since great adventure received its used Stand-Up coaster (which I actually like unlike some people). Not only that but we have had to give up a coaster from pretty much every addition we have received in the past 8 years. (Chiller, Scream Machine, Rolling Thunder etc). Heck you could even throw Viper into that mix if you count El Toro (although this is a trade I think anyone would make). And while we didn't lose a coaster this time around, we lost two major show venues that have been staples of the park for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 This is a low capacity ride in one of the most visited parks in the chain. Oh god. Please. Don't. Say. "Low Capacity" again. Otherwise it's going to be another 768 pages of why it isn't a low capacity ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 To everyone complaining about "what they deserve". Nobody deserves anything. This is the amusement industry, you don't get rides cause you deserve them. You get rides cause thats what the park can afford and or wants at the time. Planning for the next 5 years of this park is most likely done. You all won't be complianing when Great Adventure adds another new coaster within the next two years.

Ughhh.....I enjoy the sight and the commentary...."I wish weren't part of our community" hurts! Simply put- I have had a season pass each year since the early 80s....and: - love coasters with height and speed vs. inversions - wish we would invest in bottles of Weed-b-Gon to make the park look better! - hate to see SFGA invest capital, only to see it rot away years later (ie- Golden Kingdom, etc.) Bottom line- if the GP likes it, awsome! Again- just something that won't interest me when I am there....as I love the Nitros of the world instead. That's all for now!

DILinator Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Having not been on Batman at SFFT, but thinking it looked pretty cool, I'm excited about potentially getting on this one sooner! If I have one complaint (oh horrors! A human being for which everything isn't 100% rainbows and unicorns! ), it's only that I wish the coaster actually extended out over the water on the end that's near it. I think it'll still be cool there, being so close to the water, but being a big water theming guy, I would have loved to have the base of the coaster be right up against the lake, with the rest of the drops above it extending over the water than the animation indicates. It's a minor issue, however, and it's possible that in reality, it WILL be closer to the water. It almost seems as if was designed and located with that kind of effect in mind... Still, a cool, if rather modest, addition for GAdv, and one that I'm sure will be a BIG hit! Maybe the B&M Wing Coaster is coming in a couple more years, guys!
