vekoma_fan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Might be in the wrong thread... but this really made me smile (just move it to where it belong) Thousands of people gather in Mexico City to get drenched and set new world record for the largest number of simultaneously erupting Mentos geysers. The record was set by 2,433 participants of all ages, beating the record set by 1,500 students, teachers and parents in Singapore earlier this month. Cola and Mentos geysers occur due to chemical reactions when the drink and mints mix. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newsvideo/weirdnewsvideo/7958659/Record-breaking-Mentos-and-Coke-explosions-in-Mexico-City.html Edited August 25, 2010 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) We all know about Pandemonium is leaving SFDK, though on Screamscape, this was just posted: Rumor - (12/8/11) The latest rumor regarding the move of Pandemonium to Six Flags Mexico claims that the coaster may be rethemed to The Joker when it reopens South of the border. Could we see Joker’s Pandemonium? It seems that Pandemonium is going to SFM and themed as the Joker, remember this is still a rumor, NOT an announcement, your thoughts? Also, Pandemonium moving to SFM is also a RUMOR. Edited August 25, 2013 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps294 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I think a DC Comics character will be great for the park, ever since The Dark Knight coaster opened and was a great hit at the park! I was the one that suggested Green Lantern to Screamscape! And look how all-some it would of looked as Green Lantern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 As a RUMOR this would normally be placed be in the Rumor Thread, but since we know that Pandemonium is being moved to make room for Green Lantern, we'll keep this as its own thread.

SoCalCoasters Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 SF Managers at Bay Area Bash said this to us after they remarked about Zonga going to Mexico. "You know, let's stop talking about Mexico, Zonga went there, and let's stop talking about it." Possibly alludng to Pandamonium's Location?

-Edge of Beast- Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I can see this being another Green Lantern coaster. Joker would be adequate, but with the current "Green Lantern" trend, I can see it being another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker would be adequate, but with the current "Green Lantern" trend, I can see it being another one. Though, there is too many Green Lantern coasters, well 2 is enough, but a more creative name or a name used by a defunct attraction (e.g. X-Flight) would be nice like Joker's Revenge.

pdcon Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 What if they renamed and themed it to fire Firestorm? he always seems to have those spinning balls of fire whirling around his hands. Plus firestorm just seems like a name six flags can name a ride, its more a fictional name then someone real name. Plus Firestorm was a BOSS.

jzoole Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^^^ I think the Green Lantern "trend" might be over. The two Six Flags Green Lantern installments coincided with the release of the film last summer. And since the film was sort of a critical and commercial failure, I would be surprised if Six Flags used the Green Lantern theme for any more coasters. But I could be wrong. After all, Warner Bros Movie World is opening their Green Lantern El Loco this coming year. I just think the Joker is a solid theme to go with because he's always been probably the most recognizable of the whole DC Comics rogues gallery. Everyone knows who he is.

XYZ Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I thought of another name for this coaster: Two Face - The Flip Side, it makes sense since the flipping of the coin and the spinning of the car. Plus, the name was only used once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though just the same as you. Green Lantern was far from being a commercial success, so I agreed with you. Joker would be a cool theming, since the would be on Six Flags Mexico I wonder if they would use the spanish name for The Joker which is "EL Guason" well at least here in Colombia most people call it Guason. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
154bmag Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Or just go the Cedar Fair route and call it Big Spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathbydinn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^ Wouldn't it be taking the Six Flags route since they were called Big Spin between the Tony Hawk and Pandemonium themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The49er Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I thought it would be cool if it was indoor a la Dark Knight, but they already have TDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoole Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 ^^ But atleast Six Flags only let them go by the horribly lame "Big Spin" name for a few months before switching it to the far less lame "Pandemonium" name. Cedar Fair is perfectly content to go on using "Drop Tower" and "Flight Deck" season after season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryH Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Why not just call it "Spinning Coaster?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
