southpuddle Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 ^ I don’t hold out hope for this being good even for kids… Skyline has yet to make anything that isn’t a shaky, loud, hot mess. So good luck to the parks getting them. I hope they prove us wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'd do any major modification after all the money spent on that. Replying to myself since I don't see this posted yet. PTC has refreshed the GASM trains and sending back to SFoG. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxczlIpY8g/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.facebook.com/philadelphiatoboggancoastersinc/posts/pfbid02XjwfSCaCzt2zR9uz7XHMZoHammJAqevEZxTEjMiXfT85dx23FZ5Gx7QbwHXLTkpTl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneyislandchris Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 ^ Maybe I'm missing something here but in the pictures linked above, they look like they have just the normal ratcheting lap bars, not a buzz bar. Am I blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The username Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I wish we were getting the 3 bench buzz bar and not the old cyclone trains, but hopefully they beefed up the seat cushioning and made the trains lighter so they don't beat the track to a pulp so quick.

grsupercity Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The larson loop is being moved or removed for the kid flash. Does any park in the six flags chain besides the 2 parks that removed them (SFNE and SFGAD) not have one? I can not picture it being relocated to Magic Mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I don't think so. Rumor is SFDK is also removing theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 the only thing memorable about the one at SFOG was the giant Joker face in the center was kind of cool. and that queue - out in the sun - with NO coverings. Oh, they had the poles there to put the canvas coverings up to cover the queue.. they just never did. so. damn. hot. in that queue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert425 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 park opened for the season yesterday, and the new maps show location of the Kid Flash Coaster - confirming it is replacing Joker Larson Loop - which has already been removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too did find it a bit odd they are introducing a non-Batman character themed ride to Gotham, but by the same token, The Flash would not fit into Metropolis either. And there is next to zero chance Gotham City will become DC Universe anytime soon as the park just reimagined the Gotham area with a major renovation a few years ago, becoming (in my opinion) the best looking Gotham City anywhere in the chain.

LOL. . so the park has the rides too spread out to combine into one section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version here in GA is identical in style, but all the villains pictured are from the Gotham universe. My point was the park is not going to create a fresh new Gotham City and then change to a DC Universe shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The username Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 That's a good point, though I do miss the old grungy Gotham City I remember from back in 2006. Still can't forgive them for what they did to Mindbender's sign... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
