Suspence1127 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Six flags Great America is at it again with betting on baseball this time making a bet with Great Adventure, which would be renaming a rollercoaster-and the entire park. If the Mets beat the Cubs and move onto the World Series, the rename for Great America will be: -The Park would be renamed to "Six Flags Great Mets" -And Goliath would be renamed to "GoMets" And if the Cubs beat the Mets and move on to the World Series the rename for Great Adventure will be: -The Park will be renamed to "Six Flags Great Cubs" -And Kingda Ka will be renamed "Kingda Cubs" This will be for the rest of fright fest. So cool to see them making bets like this! Link to the article: http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/six-flags-cubs-mets-bet-nlcs-333682931.html

coasterkid124 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Re-naming the entire park is pretty extreme even though nothing is official. It could even rub some bitter fans the wrong way and make them not want to visit. Kingda Cubs has to happen though. Every time it breaks down could represent the many seasons of failure the Cubs have gone through
RollerManic Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 They did this to us at SFStL. Needless to say, we now have a "Cubs Thunder" coaster for the rest of the season.
njcoasterguy34 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I honestly couldn't care less what happens with the World Series. The Yankees didn't make it, so I'm not following it.
njcoasterguy34 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Not bitter. I just don't root for a team if it's not the Yankees, Devils, Giants, or Knicks.

KBrylczyk Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Ew, Great Adventure is siding with the Mets. Who likes the Mets, you ask? People who mess up where The Bronx and Queens are.

FaithPlus1 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Not bitter. I just don't root for a team if it's not the Yankees, Devils, Giants, or Knicks. LOL!!! Good luck with the Knicks!!! #Carmeloisabumb
Genx24 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 2 more wins until GoMets! Lets Go Mets! And I know exactly where both Queens and the Bronx are, thank you very much.
KBrylczyk Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ^ Prove it. If I were on Rikers Island (probably for willful destruction of property against Citi Field) and facing southeast, what stadium would I be pointing at?
KBrylczyk Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ^ WRONG! I'd be facing Citi Field, sure, but I would be pointing behind me at Yankee Stadium. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
jburns309 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Quick Review from Sunday. Went to the park Sunday. Cold but not extremely crowded. Longest wait was 75 minutes for Green Lantern. Zumanjaro was closed all day, and KingdaKa was just opening as we were leaving at 7:00. And boy, El Toro's line always moves fast. 60 minute wait was cut in half. Nitro's line was also moving fast. Any questions let me know.
Genx24 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ^ WRONG! I'd be facing Citi Field, sure, but I would be pointing behind me at Yankee Stadium. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Fair enough. Never been to Rikers. Sounds like you have though.
michaellynn4 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 As a Phillies fan, I have a vested interest in seeing the Cubs win. Besides, pretty much any decent-hearted sports fan (that aren't Mets or Cardinals fans) wants to see the Cubs finally get their win. Plus, I like the sound of Kingda Cubs.

Kingda Cubs is looking less and less likely.
njcoasterguy34 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Well, I got an email from Great Adventure today saying they found my wallet. Does anyone know if I can go pick it up when the park isn't open for rides by going through the employee/delivery entrance?
Vonni Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 ^ You would probably have to call ahead and arrange that
Suspence1127 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Who's pumped for Six Flags Great Mets and GoMets?
boldikus Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Flyin Phil took some new (and always awesome) aerial photos of the park during a recent packed Fright Fest weekend, including some shots of the Total Mayhem construction area. Check out his site if you haven't.
Suspence1127 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Some interesting news that I saw on GreatAdventureHistory. In this video interview about Six Flags record earnings for 2015 they talked about Total mayhem. Or should I say, "The Jokers' Total Mayhem" May have just been an error but I doubt it. Skip to 1:20 in this video: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
RyanTPM Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 ^That's really interesting, doesn't seem like a mistake at all
