GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) In 2010, Six Flags lost their park in Kentucky. Relizing the loss of money from no renvune from the Southern Midwest reigon, Six Flags decided to build a new park. The new park was labeled Six Flags Southern Kingdom, a park outside of Nashville, TN. The park features Batwing, Greezed Lightnin', Mind Eraser, Great American Scream Machine(From SFGAd), and Racer. The ground breaking began in august of 2010, and the park is set to open in 2013. I Brian Grabowski am the GM of the park and will be posting pics when we start our season in 2013. -Brian Grabowski, GM at SFSK, of the Six Flags Theme Park Corporation. P.S.- the park is almost ready, so pics will be posted in a few days Edited July 10, 2010 by Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJClarke0912 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Mind Eraser's missing another inline-twist! Try copying "El Condor" from RCT2...then add the helix. Otherwise, very nice relocated rides! Interesting mix...it's all "older" rides too...you might need something fresh. Just my advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 It is not an exact copy, it has a unique layout with an extra helix, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumfan94 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Great idea IMO! I like the fact you incorporated the old rides, but like mentioned before needs something "new". Still I really like the idea and will be following this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well some info trickled down the chain to me. Next year SFSK, will recieve Scream from SFMM, and it will become Superman: The Return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Not too bad, but I have a far more realistic GASM if you want, I do like where you're going with this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm good, GASM isn't going to remain as GASM, in two seasons it will become Ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarmor Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 man, this park has more clones than SFA! Try to be more unique instead of just plopping down clones/cookie cutter rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Ok, most of the coasters aren't clones, GASM came from SFGAd, Greezed Lightnin' came from SFKK,and Racer is a restored coaster. Only Mind Eraser and Batwing are clones, also this is a fantasy park, so it can be how I like it, and most of the people who have commeted did not care about clones Edited July 13, 2010 by GrabowskiEnterprises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 ^GASM was originally a clone of Shockwave at SFGAm, just 3 ft taller. And Greezed Lightnin'... Well, we all know there quite a few of those. Despite the clones, I like this park so far. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightbeawannabe Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 ^^&^Racer has been basically cloned. KI & KD Racers and Carowind's Thunder Run are all very similar to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Actually the funny things is that Southern Kingdom was built in the late 60s, and John Allen designe Racer for the park. Then the park closed in 1991, for what seemed like forever, then in 2005 Six Flags bought the property but never developed it. Then when SFKK closed, Six Flags invested in the property to turn it into Six Flags Southern Kingdom. Also with this update i present the other woodie at the park that has taken 2 seasons to restore. Also it is now season 5, and some major progress has been made. Mind Eraser got the yellow/orange paintjob, Superman the return opened(Scream! from SFMM), Batwing became falcon, Batman: The Ride was built, and The Racer has had a re-tracking done by GCI.

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hmm.... Wonder how much damage there is. Does this mean the park is done for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 No, i have some update. The park recieved some damage, mostly just scenery, but Greezed Lightnin' was srtuck by lightning and the controls caught fire. Also the about 50 trees were uprooted, also the we had the station collaspe on Mind Eraser, but the coaster is sustained no damage, I am happy to say that we got everyone out of the park about 10 minutes before the tornado touched down, so there were no injuries at the park. However the park will remain closed to the public the rest of the season as we fix and re-build things, plus everything in the park now has to be re-inspected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Season 9 update: Well it's been 9 years since the park opened, and no rides have been removed but were running out of room. Look for Mind Eraser or Greezed Lightnin' to be moved because of the ride rotation program. There has been rumors that we may be recieving a Intamin launched coaster, I see if they're true. -Brian Grabowski, GM of SFSK Shot0059.bmp The newest ride Diablo Falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrabowskiEnterprises Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have some good news, ME and GL are staying. And I have an error, I said there was rumors but the intamin actually was built. Introducing Green Lantern, an Intamin launched coaster reaching speeds of 69 mph.
