CP_RULES Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The park posted a nice video update today. There are some cheesy bits but also some interesting info. Sounds like lift and drop is all that is left until trackwork is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellynn4 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Enjoyed the video! This is a park that for years, a construction update was basically ten minutes of unedited video showing someone drill a screw into some metal, if you even got an update at all. I appreciate the effort they're putting into making the updates digestible and entertaining. I like the "over the fence" construction peak nod, too, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the ride was fully built and tested by late March, the park would most likely delay the opening until after Memorial Day. That's how Six Flags seems to handle every ride opening. The one I distinctly remember them rushing in recent years was Wonder Woman at Fiesta Texas just to beat Railblazer so it could claim the title as the first single rail coaster.

thrillseeker4552 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 That's a great video. Kudos to the park for putting in some effort to update us on the construction! Come to think of it, I think Jersey Devil will be a bit of a "sleeper hit" this year. All of the attention will be on VelociCoaster, Pantheon, and Iron Gwazi (rightfully so), but just like in 2018 with WW and RB, this coaster could turn out batsh*t insane and get overshadowed by those bigger rides opening in the same year. I can't wait for this ride to come to SFMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Loving these update vids, much more detailed than the ones they did for Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Couple of shots taken from across the lake, found over on the Great Adventure conn group on FB. Topping off is imminent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 This ride looks like it's going to be so much damn fun. So happy to have this locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanthonyam Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Is this the same model that SFMM may be getting? Or a different layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MM version has the station in a different spot. Otherwise, same. Looks like Jersey Devil will get topped off today. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I have a hard time getting excited about new Six Flags coasters because I just assume it'll be 137 years before they actually open. Even when we went to Holiday in the Park this year I made zero walks back there to check it out because I felt like there was no point in getting excited about it but I'm sort of starting to feel the hype here.

Canobie Coaster Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'm hoping this still opens in 2021, but it's hard for me not to notice a few of the other parks delaying their additions another year to 2022. The fact construction is progressing so quickly gives me hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I mean, I'm not sure why they'd be cracking away at construction if the plan was to push this back another year. Are any of the other SF parks currently erecting their new-for-2022 additions? (Legit question, I'm not paying attention to much besides this and Velocicoaster atm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_s Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 ^^-- make it go first, decide when to open it later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boldikus Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 That's not what I am asking though - are there any other SF parks that are in full-blown construction mode at the moment for a 2020-but-now-2022 addition? Are they actively working on Aquaman right now? Related: Jersey Devil was topped off.

CP_RULES Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This was always a park that lived in my dreams, and to think I might be able to go this year AND get to ride this devil... It looks great. I can't wait. Happy topping off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJLehto Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Yesssss, dang I do hope this opens in 2021 and I know its Six Flags....heck Im one of their biggest bashers, but I do have confidence. I mean yeah why even bother if they kinda knew it'd likely not happen till 2022. Good thing too, that looks just phenomenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said “opening in 2021” on the last construction video, so that’s encouraging! I was so shocked by the videos of the original raptors, I can’t imagine what this will be like. The single row trains alone are intimidating, you have to face that drop all by yourself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drop back row....words cant even. I have no idea if bigger will = better but I am damn excited! And all seriousness I haven't gone here in prob 7 or 8 years now...would be nice to go back to my home park while Im back in the NE. And yes, 2021 could be October lol BUT that is indeed encouraging news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
