RaceBoarder Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 You know you are a Six Flags park if you allow riders to choose their seats on pretty much any and every ride, and you also allow people to re-ride in empty seats without making a big fuss out of it for no reason. *coughCedarFaircough* A breath of fresh air for this thread. Might I add: You know when you are at a Six Flags park when an enthusiast in a queue line nitpicks and complains the entire wait about every small detail they find wrong with the park that they chose to visit. But they're never making that mistake again!
larrygator Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 You take out pretty much all flat rides until the park is basically a bunch of rollercoasters in a field. This is not the case at all Six Flags parks, some of them have quite extensive flat ride packages.
Manic Monte Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 ...You buy a flash pass even on dead days just so that you don't have to listen to teenagers all day!
cwf_777 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 You know your in a Six Flags Park if the ride operator calls the ride your're on 5 different names, but never actually calls it the right one. (Actually happened to me at SFDK)
engineeringtyler96 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 You know you're a Six Flags park if your coasters are in a parking lot.
Password121 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 You take out pretty much all flat rides until the park is basically a bunch of rollercoasters in a field. Outside of Magic Mountain, this seems to be a common stereotype that really isn't all that well supported. Yes, many of the SF parks have removed some (or many flats) in the last decade or so, but it's not like other corporate regional parks have dozens more flats than the average SF park. Maybe it's just me as Great Adventure and (to an extent) SFA have some of the better flat collections in the chain--I don't really know.

I don't know, Cedar Fair (using them as an example) in general blows Six Flags away when it comes to quantity of flat rides. You're right, Great Adventure isn't terrible... but compared to Dorney (using another local example) it's like night and day. The same goes for Hershey, which is another one of their major competitors.
VF15 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 ...your park's website gets a ride's statistics/inversion types wrong.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Well, technically a cobra roll is two half-loops and two half-corkacrews, so that does add up to a corkscrew and two loops, albeit of the inverting rather than inverted variety. But yeah, without knowing the exact weight of the train, I'm going to say it's less than a megaton (2,200,000,000 pounds). That's approximately equivalent to 500 freight trains or 7 Empire State Buildings.
WOFanatic Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 You know you're in a Six Flags forum when you hear CF fanboys complaining about Larson Loops being called roller coasters while ignoring the fact that Cedar Fair calls roller skaters coasters and receives zero bitching.

I've gotta be honest, I've never heard anyone complain about this at a park with a Larson super loop. It seems to be just an enthusiast thing to hate on Six Flags.
I305forever Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 ... while driving away, you notice that about 50 teens have started a bonfire and a fight club. Crap. I broke the first rule.

Eh, I don't know about you, but I have heard (and read) plenty of "b!tching" from "CF Fanboys" about Cedar Fair calling their roller skaters "coasters." The main one that comes to mind is Pipe Scream at Cedar Point. CF Fanboys still complain about that being called a coaster.
Jackdude101 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Most of your staff doesn't know the flags of the countries referenced in the name Six Flags. On that note, I'll bet you a dollar that if that becomes common knowledge, the park chain will panic and rename themselves "Five Flags." Why? Just read the list below of the flags referenced by the park chain's name and judge for yourself. Spain France Mexico Republic of Texas United States of America Confederate States of America
KnightBag95 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 If a ride op asks you to help operate the ride that you are about to get on. It happened to me on Skull Mountain at SFA, but being an enthusiast I found it fun haha.

DarienLaker Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 You put in "clones" of a VR simulation for roller coasters.
Pirate Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 If you see a Super Loop claiming itself to be a "coaster". If you see a Starflyer claiming itself to be a "swing ride".
livai Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 If you see a Super Loop claiming itself to be a "coaster". initially, but not anymore If see a Starflyer claiming itself to be a "swing ride". why are "swing ride".
