bert425 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 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 Share Posted March 5 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...
The username Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Ah yes, my favorite Gotham City hero, "Kid Flash." Looks like the beginning of a DC universe retheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride was OK, but any ride that calls itself a "coaster" when it is not needs to just go away. 3 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.

It identified as a coaster, so it was my 200th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share Posted March 13 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...

I could have sworn at one point they had a few of those canvas covers for the queue? Like maybe for one season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like maybe for one season? look at the pic I posted up in the thread. . . one area of poles had the canvas.. . for a couple of weeks. Rest of queue was in sun, and then they apparently decided it looked stupid just to have one section of canvas up, and took them all down. ugh. . was horrible in the direct sunlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
