Jcoaster Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well even though it goes against Six Flags logic to build a new structure when they already have one. I could see them build a new building for Justice League and let the old building in the boardwalk sits there and continues to rot for years on end. Either way its a very Six Flags outcome.

coasterbill Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Looks like a rusty pile of sh*t. More theming for Nitro possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Its a really sh*tty picture but the first thing I thought when I saw it was it looks like rebar. Which could be for a new building. Or for foundations, which they would need to put in for a flat collection. The fact that its where it is only reinforces my belief whatever we're getting (I'm down to flat collection, or JLBFM at this point) its going in Old Country. Though with the speculation starting everywhere all of the sudden part of me hopes we just get the parking lot finished or something dumb just to piss everyone off.

jarmor Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Why do people always say skip green lantern? I thought it was a pretty good ride. Much better than what mantis was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Because we're spoiled brats who have an otherwise good to great coaster line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing against the ride really. The only slight flaw is that it's an ugly, painful, horrific piece of sh*t coaster with no redeeming qualities that should be melted down, poured deep into the earth and then they should salt the earth in that spot ensuring nothing will ever grow there because it's such a flaming pile of sh*t. But besides that it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapfordakids Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Imagine if Six Flags bought Hulks old trains (before they were scrapped) and re-furbed and retrofitted them to work with GL. PS: I personally don't think the ride is horrible, the first half is solid. But after the break run when it gets all twisty is when the head banging comes through. I still don't understand how Stand-Up coasters became a thing. It's such awkward experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It looks like framework for a new building. Perhaps for a building that would host a particular dark ride. Perhaps a dark ride themed around comic book superheroes trying to save a certain city from comic book supervillians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njcoasterguy34 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 If you use the bicycle seat to support you, you get off the ride with your crotch in pain. If you use your legs to support you, you get off the ride with your legs in pain. That's why I hate the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who disregards directions and rests on the seat, deserves all the pain they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have never experienced the crotch/leg pain thing either, but I've heard that from quite a few people. My issue is not that but the headbanging I get throughout the ride. I haven't enjoyed a single stand-up coaster I've ridden, GL included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickflipbacktail Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Am I the only one who has never felt any discomfort from a stand up coaster/ I've ridden 3, Green Lantern, Goergia Scorcher, and Vortex at Carowinds and I have enjoyed all of them. Vortex's only real issue is that it was boring. I actually love GL and GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mater Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've had that leg pain a couple times on Riddler and Vortex, and once on Mantis the one time I've been on it. Apparently I deserved it though so I guess I shouldn't be complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The only stand-up coaster I can somewhat enjoy is Riddler's Revenge. Green Lantern is "tolerable" but still really bad, Mantis was even worse, and Apocalypse should use its fire theming effect to burn itself down. I have yet to ride either of the Vortexes or Georgia Scorcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've been on two B&M stand ups--Green Lantern and Apocalypse. Apocalypse is a mess of awful head banging and a slow ride with nothing exciting. I haven't dealt with much head banging on Green Lantern but only in the last two years I've had the previously mentioned leg pain. It feel like the entire force of the ride is on your calves and it's really, really uncomfortable and it isn't relieved by lifting your legs up. It's weird. That said, Green Lantern is better than Apocalypse but unless I have multiple days at the park I'm skipping it. Apocalypse might be the worst B&M ever.

LiftThrill Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've never been on any standup. Will probably change with a Carowinds trip whenever I actually manage to get out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Apocalypse might be the worst B&M ever. Well it was their first ever coaster, so... Oh I know. It's just amazing how much better they got just two years later for Batman which for me is one of the top five B&M's I've ridden. The first try doesn't have to be the worst.

Derpologist Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I haven't ridden Apocalypse, but Vortex at CGA is the worst B&M I've experienced. Interestingly, the Vortex at Carowinds I find completely superior and it was built just 1 year later. It's a toss up for me between Riddler's Revenge and Georgia Scorcher as to which is the best B&M stand-up, but I've definitely experienced the leg pain some are referring to. I find if keep my legs bent slightly I'm better off, but only very slightly - just so my knees aren't locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarmor Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've been on all the B&M stand up's, minus vortex west and I guess I have strong legs because they don't really bother me. Now, I wouldn't mind if I never had to experience Apocalypse again but riddler, scorcher and green lantern were def at the top of the list for me. Guess i'm different?

boldikus Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 We should stop wasting valuable characters and forum space on Green Lantern. Like clockwork every couple of months someone says something about Green Lantern and this thread spirals into the exact same discussion for a few pages. It's like a bad rash. It'll pass, but it'll flare up again eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Its like Herpes...That sh*t comes back. Heading out to the park this Sunday, I seriously can't wait to ride Joker again. As well as ride Zumi for the first time this season (I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
