tanthonyam Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That's awful for the big parks to get a ride like that! I can understand the smaller ones, but SFGADV or SFOG! These 2 big parks are known to get big thrill rides not carnival rides. Maybe if they made it a 100ft super loop with 2 next to each other.

Mater Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just think it's ridiculous because Hammerhead shark is the exact same ride experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's definitely verrrry similar to Hammerhead, I don't get this move either. Especially when what this park lacks the most is a) a drop ride (150 ft double shot themed to Bizarro), b) a dark ride, and c) a really cool log ride that goes through animal areas somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqueefa Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just think it's ridiculous because Hammerhead shark is the exact same ride experience. Exactly, and a more thrilling one at that given you are hanging by your OTSR! I'll take Hammerhead over a shuttle loop any day of the week. Even when I'm on my period.

Andrewoplis Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 You know, they could be removing the hammerhead for this attraction. The park has had a lot of problems with it over the years, and thanks to the safety belts its a pain in the butt to load/unload, so replacing it is defiantly an option.

Mater Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It doesn't help that Superman is basically just a taller fancier Super Loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy13 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It doesn't help that Superman is basically just a taller fancier Super Loop. Have you ever been on S:UF? While I guess you could say it sort of looks like a "taller fancier Super Loop," the ride experience is incredibly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 ^Yea I totally agree! When I was at the park a couple weeks ago I heard some GP say "Superman is fun but I wish it wasn't like those Super loops!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) New Dare Devil Chaos Coaster Coming to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 2015 Link: https://www.sixflags.com/discoverykingdom/attractions/dare-devil-chaos/overview VALLEJO, Calif. ― August 28, 2014 ― What goes around, comes around, and in the case of the new Dare Devil Chaos Coaster opening at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, guests will find an exciting new thrill ride guaranteed to get their adrenaline pumping. Dare Devil Chaos Coaster is a single looping coaster that builds anticipation as riders seated back to back travel backwards and forwards until momentum takes them at top speed revolutions, only to stop upside down at 70 feet high and reverse direction. “This is a great new addition to our line-up of world class rides and attractions, and is sure to be fun for all," said Don McCoy, park president. “What appears to be a simple track is really complex and riders will have a great time anticipating the inversion they know is coming." Dare Devil Chaos Coaster features: 24 seats set in true face-off fashion, with guests seated back to back and face to face 360 degree revolutions 7 stories in height Inverted hang time with riders suspended upside down The new ride brings the number of coasters at the park to nine along with Medusa, Roar, V2, Kong, Boomerang, Cobra, Road Runner Express and SUPERMAN Ultimate Flight. Dare Devil is expected to open in spring 2015. Edited August 28, 2014 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire2box Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well it is a rollercoaster and if it draws people away from roar, sky screamer and Superman i'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillgeek Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I love the fact that they're getting a new ride. This however is way too much like Hammer Head Shark and is clearly not a roller coaster. Unless they're taking out hammer head I think this is a mistake to add a carnival ride like this to a theme park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^Well Hammerhead is old, they could take it out any day now. Maybe that'll be the site of the next new ride? I don't like that they're calling this a coaster, I definitely won't be counting it as one. I'm willing to suspend judgement for now until this thing opens. Maybe it'll be a good addition to the park. Looks like it's going over behind V2? Seems like a good place for another ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 But, I'm positive it will be listed as a coaster. It's just a way for them to list it as a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks like a decent flat ride, however i'm still amazed that they're promoting this and the rest of them as coasters. And yeah, that's just an edited Dare Devil Dive logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternate Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm sorta disappointed. It is a carnival flat ride, not a coaster, and it's just like Hammerhead. Luckily, Twisted Colossus looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noporian Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 A good reason to be disappointed is that six flags is not adding any variety by adding like 4 of these things into their park on the same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy13 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm curious to see where this goes. From the video, it looks like you can see the vertical spike of V2 in the background. So are they getting rid of the dolphin pool or one of the other animal exhibits near here? I can't see them taking out the go kart track, as that's a moneymaker for them. While we all expected this announcement based on the rumors, I still can't help but be disappointed. I always enjoy the Ring of Fire when I go to a fair, and I'll probably enjoy this ride, but as has been said, the ride experience is very similar to Hammerhead. I just don't understand why we can't get a drop ride of some sort or a dark ride at this park. Neither of those would be huge investments, and they are both desperately needed. Sadly, with 2 new rides in the last 2 years, my guess is we don't even see a new ride for 2016, and I'm stuck waiting until 2017 for one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singemfrc Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^ I saw another photo showing it's going where the season pass processing center is currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
