robbalvey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 My brain cannot process the amount of stupidity that it takes for someone to make the kind of posts that get them banned at a time like this. Let me further explain, not like it will help these morons because if they are not smart enough to understand "Don't post about it until we post about it" this probably won't be understood either, but... Parks have asked us to respect their announcement times, and in turn, we ask our readers or users to do the same. It's not that much to ask, and it's not a difficult concept to grasp. Yes, we understand there may be leaks that happen. Those leaks are usually due to people who have broken the embargo that media outlets are given with time-sensitive material. The part that is damaging and frustrating for me personally, is that when embargoes are broken, parks will be less likely to deliver embargoed content in the future. This just creates even MORE work for us, because not being able to schedule or create our posts using that content in advance means we are having to scramble at 4am to get ALL of the parks information up as quickly as possible. And that is a crazy amount of work in the middle of the night. So please, we ask you kindly, respect the announcement times. I know you'll see the assholes of Reddit and other groups that just simply don't give a crap, but I also don't find them to be respectable groups either. And if you're going to come on our forum and be like those people, we would much rather have you not be part of our forum. Thank you for understanding. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) First-of-its-Kind Thrill Ride to Debut at Six Flags Great Adventure DC Super Hero CYBORG Themed Ride Coming in 2018 JACKSON, N.J. — August 31, 2017 — Six Flags Great Adventure, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, today announced that it will premiere the world’s first thrill ride themed to the DC Super Hero CYBORG in 2018. Inspired by the movement of a gyroscope, CYBORG Cyber Spin will deliver an unrelenting and intense anti-gravity experience as it whirls guests on three axes high above the ground. “Six Flags leads the industry in thrill ride innovation; it is part of our DNA,” said Park President Neal Thurman. “Six Flags Great Adventure is home to an unparalleled collection of record-breaking attractions and we are excited to be adding CYBORG Cyber Spin, the first of its kind in North America. Like the Super Hero CYBORG of the JUSTICE LEAGUE, this futuristic, hi-tech ride will be unlike anything our guests have ever seen or experienced before and it is the perfect new thrill ride to expand our new Metropolis section.” CYBORG Cyber Spin features a unique futuristic triple box design that allows the gondola to spin around three separate axes while rotating forward, backwards and sideways simultaneously at up to 70 feet in the air for intense and continuous movement. Seated 24 across with over-the-shoulder harnesses, riders will experience a thrilling combination of negative and positive gravitational forces. By night—this bold, new attraction promises to light up the New Jersey skies beckoning thrill seekers from near and far. CYBORG Cyber Spin highlights include: · Unpredictable flips and pivots at heights up to seven stories (70 feet) above the ground; · Floorless seats that leave riders’ feet dangling as they whirl through the air; · Dazzling nighttime light display; and · Located in Metropolis adjacent to JUSTICE LEAGUE: Battle for Metropolis. CYBORG Cyber Spin is expected to debut in late spring of 2018. Edited August 31, 2017 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Glad they're getting one of these. I probably won't ride this--I don't like Top Spins, and this is pretty similar--but I'm sure a lot of people will go nuts for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one day I'll get on one of these rides, but I feel like I'd get sick. Who knows!? Either way, it's an awesome addition! Finally, Cyborg gets some love.

DBru Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I can't believe a US park is actually installing one of these! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Oh boy! I've been looking forward to the day one of these things actually landed where I could give it a whirl! I don't think my 39 year old self could handle two rides, but I'll definitely give it one go! Glad to see a park I go to at least semi-regularly is getting it! Nice to see Cyborg finally get his due beyond just the JL animatronic as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Great addition! Like Magic Mountain, this park needed another great flat ride and this appears to fit the bill. Hopefully with Justice League and this opening next year, that area of the park will be less spooky during Holiday in the Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This is an awesome addition. An innovative, much-needed flat ride in a section of the park that needs the love the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 So, some thoughts on this ride. After hearing about it via leak last night I've had some time to think about it (and argue with idiots on Facebook of course) First, we knew this wouldn't be a coaster. It was always going to be an off year. Anyone that expected a coaster is delusional. I had hoped for the parks sake that it was a waterpark addition of sorts - water coaster like Hershey is doing, or something. I avoid Hurricane Harbor but it constantly seems to hit capacity in the summer and anyone I talk to that goes there complains its always packed. In regards to Cyborg Spin - The park has been making smaller, yet gimmicky additions to the park the past few years now from Zum through Diablo through Joker and Justice League and all the VR stuff, so this ride is not surprising at all as it follows right in line w/ that marketing strategy. All of these additions have been highly marketable (tallest/fast drop ride on earth!!! 7 story multi looping coaster!!! 4d freefly coaster!!! interactive dark ride/video game!!!). It seems just marketing a plain old roller coaster with no gimmick would now be impossible at this park compared to the marketing opportunities rides like this offer the park. Especially considering they already have the tallest & 2nd fastest coaster on earth. They're not peddling to coaster enthusiasts to come and visit - they already have a lineup that does that, instead they're peddling to the local teens who will pay more attention to gimmicky experiences and come and spend money. I personally don't care that they are not catering to me. They already get my money every September because I see it as a pass to ride El Toro, Nitro, Batman, Joker, Bizarro, Zumanjaro, etc all year as much as I want. They can continue to add a range of rides as long as they care for the great rides they already have. People complained for years the park needed flats and now we have a decent flat line-up. Overall, I think its a great addition. Not for me, but for the park itself. I am elated that they are continuing to redevelop Old Country but wonder what they are going to do with the path to the picnic area. To me it would make more sense if they just rerouted the entrance to the picnic area from Main Street around the back of the ride. I hope this means a continued expansion into the area with more flats coming in subsequent years, and opening the path next to Mamas. Furthermore the more new rides the farther away from El Toro the better, so I'm happy they're putting it where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm glad to hear that it will indeed have the "dazzling night-time display" according to the press release. It didn't really come through in the rendering, but from what I've seen of the one that was in Hong Kong, these things look like they're going to be a total spectacle to watch at night. Can't wait to give this a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I hope there's a stand next to it selling umbrellas to protect spectators from all the vomit that's sure to be flying off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILinator Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I hope there's a stand next to it selling umbrellas to protect spectators from all the vomit that's sure to be flying off it. What we need is a "Smilie" like the one above, only with projectile vomit flying out every which way! That will perfectly represent these two new flats!

bill_s Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) According to what I have read about these, the experience more than any other ride on the actual program. The original program took 3 years to develop (?). Of course people will complain it's too mild while I still expect I'd feel like I'm going to die after. So it looks like the whole thing leans over to load and unload? Edited August 31, 2017 by bill_s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good for the park adding brand-new, innovative flats to keep the attractions well-rounded. This isn't my personal taste, but I'm on board with anything that will keep people away from El Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Watching that video I definitely don't think I can ride all the time lol I'll definitely give it a shot though and maybe I'll surprise myself by not getting sick on it lol I also agree about Old Country getting more love, hopefully they open up that path now with this and justice league being there. I don't mind the extra walking but if you're trying to get across the park quickly to get some more El Toro rides in that path being open would help big time. I wasn't expecting a coaster this year but I'm still hoping we get some sort of RMC in 2019 or 2020 because a local RMC would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 ^ You don't consider the RMC at SFNE local? I love Wicked Cyclone but it's over a 3 hour ride without traffic for me and there's almost always traffic heading up that way so it's usually closer to 4+ hours so no I don't consider that local for me at least.

CoasterAuditor Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I am very excited to check out Cyborg whenever I get back to SFGAdv. I do really hope that while Six Flags is on this bulk Giant Discovery purchasing that one of them makes their way to SFGAdv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm always on board for more crazy flat rides, especially when they're in the Holiday in the Park section of the park. Great addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
