JordyC Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Will Harley Quinn open before Six Flags announces their 2019 attractions? Maybe it is their 2019 addition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Sounds like the new Skywarp may be one of the worst investments SF has ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Sounds like the new Skywarp may be one of the worst investments SF has ever made. SFOT and SFGA, respectively, have been having tons of problems with their new ABC Tourbillion rides. But apparently you guys are having even worse problems with your new Skyline attraction. I hope SF doesn't end up regretting that they bought these rides. Does anyone know if X2 was partially responsible for Six Flags going bankrupt? I'm guessing rides like Kingda Ka, El Toro, both Goliaths and Tatsu were probably responsible for SF going bankrupt. Six Flags was responsible for Six Flags going bankrupt.

Well yes and it just got delayed again as Media Day was postponed to an unknown date Did it get postponed again after the 27th? I'm going next week and doubt I'd be riding it anyway, but I'd like to see it. Mostly I'm hoping that I'm not there right after it opens because I'd rather not have additional crowds from a brand new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 At the park right now. Joker is stuck on the hills before the lift hill. It could have derailed, I tried to get a view from Wonder Woman, but it’s hard to tell since that section is so twisty and weird anyway. I can’t really get any photos of it.

coasterbill Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Why would your head go to “derailed” which is pretty much unprecedented on a coaster that’s not a complete POS and not saddled / valleyed which is much more normal and likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 ^That was my initial thought because the back car looked pretty “off” from what I can see from the gate and through the structure. It probably isn’t, but it was really squeaking and making noise earlier today on those hills so it is simply a possibility that crossed my mind. Has this coaster valleyed on those hills before? This is my first time at the park so I’m not sure what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first time at the park so I’m not sure what to expect. from what I've been told from a ride op on the ride is that if one of the operators takes their finger off the dispatch button too early the ride will end up getting stuck before the lift. This has happened a few times so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Joker is back open now, with two trains. I guess it was just a valleyed train they’ve dealt with before. It was only closed for about 5 hours. Props to SFDK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Has [Joker] valleyed on those hills [before the lift] before? This is my first time at the park so I’m not sure what to expect. from what I've been told from a ride op on the ride is that if one of the operators takes their finger off the dispatch button too early the ride will end up getting stuck before the lift. This has happened a few times so far. I've done something similar operating an Arrow Wild Mouse. Fortunately the car could be pushed from the station platform so that it could go to the lift (much to the chagrin of the platform operator ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasBaby Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Nice to see that they are finally opening this thing. I’m really interested to hear what the ride experience is like and whether it feels more like a coaster or a super loop. It looks like it would be a fun ride, so I am cautiously optimistic about it.

Sven20 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 This is really ridiculous a ride is opening for the season with 2 weeks of full operation hours left. The week of Aug 13 they cut back to 6pm close for a week and then are weekends only thru the fall. It's essentially like getting nothing for 2018 for the majority of the peak season to draw people in to the new "shiny thing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't blame the park, this ride was a prototype for a smaller company and it has been having many issues that skyline has been working in. I bet the park and Skyline are both annoyed by all the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the park and Skyline are both annoyed by all the issues. SFDK is partly to blame. As of the first week of June they were still pouring concrete and not close to being ready for completion or testing. They had no intention of opening the ride till late June at best or early July. The issues with Skyline were later on. The construction was purposely started late, which is SF plan to have nothing ready early in the season and if you're lucky memorial day. More than 1/2 the parks didn't open rides till the middle of June and several not till July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I wonder if this late opening will affect the timeline of possible future attractions next year. We've gotten thrill rides the last three years so I'd be surprised if they got another one next year. Even a family ride could take some time to plan and build. Maybe they'll opt for a show next year? Or a waterpark addition and market it as a park addition. I'd love to see more animal exhibits especially since many of the park's animals are starting to die from old age, but I would be surprised if they did with the continuing scrutiny of aquatic parks and zoos. I guess we'll see. Isn't the Six Flags announcement usually in August? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason why they started construction was late because track and trains didn't show up until mid may and even then they had most of the footers in.

The general public is going to blame the park regardless especially when SF as an whole is tight lipped when just about anything goes wrong or breaks down.

Arthur_Seaton Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Genuinely curious about this new ride. Although I'm not a fan of the regular looping version, I suspect that the two-train interaction on this one will offer a unique experience. Looking forward to hearing some reports!

aero21 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I went down on Monday for the season pass preview. I have to say both my kids and I all agreed that the ride was not that great. Even with almost no lines they both agreed that they didn't want to ride it again. Its slow, shaky, and has a short cycle. If it was twice as big then you may have something but for now its more of a kids ride (which is oddly themed to the least "kid friendly" character).
