gecomet92 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Every coaster but Boomerang in the park is relocated. Even the log flume is relocated, supernova is relocated. I'd say right now TGE is the most neglected park in the chain, ride wise. I'm not blaming six flags tho, it's smart business. And yes I just used smart business and six flags in the same sentence.

DarienLaker Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I would not be surprised if Great Escape would get one of the rides from Hard Rock/Freestyle park to add to their collection of used rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Mutts Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^ I would take Time Machine as all of our steel coasters are crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterkid124 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Time Machine > Bobsled and Canyon Blaster One condition though, the park reuses the sound system and cranks Led Zeppelin again. Get whatever copyrights or trademarks or whatever is needed, and crank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ^Is it just me or having a Led Zeppelin themed ride at The Great Escape would be kind of odd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 ^Is it just me or having a Led Zeppelin themed ride at The Great Escape would be kind of odd ? Yes and I doubt that Six Flags would want to pay licensing fee to use Led Zepplin and their music for the ride. If the B&M coaster from Hard Rock/Freestlye park (Led Zepplin/Time Machine) were to go to Great Escape, they going to have name it something like "Goliath" since Great Escape can no longer use any of the properties that Six Flags has the rights for (IE Batman, Superman, Looney Tunes) and the speaker would not be on.

Jcoaster Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Smh you guys. If Time Machine ever came to TGE it would receive an original name, nothing to do with Led Zeppelin and nothing Six Flaggish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Great Escape is still a Six Flags park despite the fact they don't use the "Six Flags" name like La Ronde does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecomet92 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It wouldn't be right it's just too big, the only way I can see it is if they remove CB and the Nightmare building and extend back behind nightmare a little ways. They own all the way to the sand pit so land isn't a issue up in ghost town. Heres what I mean This is what it would look like. This is a comparison pic to what is there now(from the same height) I made these quick using google earth and Microsoft paint The way I drew it nothing would be disrupted in ghost town except CB and Nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you know. All kidding aside I know that the theme would never fit I just really always loved the idea of Led Zep mixed with coasters.

Metsfan0618 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Does anyone think that someday Great Escape will be "flagged" by Six Flags? What do you mean by that? Making Great Escape officially Six Flags Great Escape. Even though it's not officially flagged I have noticed an increase in the use of "Six Flags Great Escape" in media ads and different souveneirs.

DarienLaker Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If Great Escape was officially "flagged" then they can have the Looney Tunes and DC Comics back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 A Chance Hyper-GTX would fit in great with the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If The Great Escape was to get "flagged", it might help draw in more people to the park because people seem to go crazy about the words "Six Flags". However, "flagging" the park might set up visitors for disappointment because visitors to a Six Flags park usually expect big roller coasters and thrill rides, and TGE looks pretty mediocre in both those departments.

gecomet92 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 TGE got a new logo this year, if they had any plans to flag it it would have been done with the new logo. Also a higher up at the park said the dropping of the "the" in the name was the last name change that would occur. Obvious nobody calls it Great Escape because The Great Escape sounds a 100 times better. Bottom line if TGE was gonna get flagged it would have happened by now. ^ and tbh you're reading into the six flags thing a little much. Everyone in the area knows TGE and what kind of rides they have. Also anyone whos been to the park in the last ten years knows its owned by six flags. Not only the neon yellow shirts but Constantly hearing " The Great Escape: A Six Flags property" over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarienLaker Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Maybe when Six Flags first bought the park they were originally going to have it flagged, but for some reason they've decided not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may very well have been the case, but then changed their minds after their coaster spree of boomerang, bobsled, nightmare and CB didn't change attendance at all. They then decided that adding bigger and better things and flagging wouldn't make economical sense if they weren't going to see a boost in attendance.

DarienLaker Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Or maybe Six Flags didn't want another flagged park beginning with the word "Great"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecomet92 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 It would have been Six Flags Over Great Escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
