-Edge of Beast- Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Isn't this one going to Six Flags Mexico next season? While I'm not sure if any "offical" announcement was made, they basically insinuated that's where it would be heading. I heard that too. It would be a good coaster for the park. It fits the scene that Six Flags Mexico is situated in for some reason, IMO.
XYZ Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Though, if Pandemonium was going to SFM, wouldn't Six Flags make an announcement a long time ago? I mean, it's not much of a big secret to not say where it is going.
Andrewoplis Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I am curious as to how cold it got that night. My guess is around 50 to 60 degrees, maybe colder.

I mean, it's not much of a big secret to not say where it is going. Jim Anderson said in the main Six Flags 2012 video, Six Flags Mexico will announce big plans in the coming months! (but that was in September)
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 I am curious as to how cold it got that night. Not sure what day you're talking about, but I know the news has been saying around 33 or 34 for the Sacramento area at night lately (just above freezing) and I think it's been less than 10 degrees here in the Sierras (or at least less than 20). So.... pretty darn cold. ^It's Northern California, it's REALLY FREAKIN COLD all the time up there in the winter. I mean, they have that snow hill there 24/7 during the Holiday In The Park Event. LOL! We think it gets really hot in a lot of places in SoCal, but I definitely would prefer the heat right now!

Though, I am going to go in the drawing, and if I win, I can bring both of my friends.
154bmag Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 ^Fahrenheit only took around 4 months to build.
Andrewoplis Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 ^Fahrenheit only took around 4 months to build. But that was JUST the construction of the coaster, right? Not the time it took to clear the land?(If they had to.) SFDK has to remove another coaster just to clear the land that they will put Superman on.
jzoole Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Pandemomium sits on a slab of concrete. I don't think there will be much land-clearing involved. And Superman is super compact. I think they could install it in no time.
Tmcdllr Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 ^And Pandemonium is a small, easily assembled - easily dismantled coaster that can be taken down pretty quickly.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Is it even attached to the slab? LOL, I thought it was just sitting there...like a fair coaster.
Mechanic Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 It is just sitting there on rubber mats on the concrete slab.
SoCalCoasters Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ^ It is bolted to the slab of concrete. As for how long it'll take them to build, look at how fast SFMM built Green Lantern or how fast Dollywood built Wild Eagle, time is not a major concern. I'll be there during Holiday in the Park after Christmas so if anyone wants to meet up shoot me a PM
Mechanic Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 It is not bolted. It's literally just sitting there.
V2-dude Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Speaking as someone who has operated Pandemonium for the past few years, I can confirm that it is not bolted to the concrete.
A.J. Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 So, you could get a huge group of burly people and push the ride somewhere?
154bmag Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ^Chuck Norris could do it by himself. Just pick up the ride with 1 hand.
SoCalCoasters Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ^Chuck Norris could do it by himself. Just pick up the ride with 1 hand. Chuck Norris doesn't move things; objects simply try to run away from him.
_koppen Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Chuck Norris doesn't move things; objects simply try to run away from him. Haha, this!
-Edge of Beast- Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 ^Chuck Norris could do it by himself. Just pick up the ride with 1 hand. Chuck Norris doesn't move things; objects simply try to run away from him. Win. Okay, okay. We've all established that Pandemonium is somehow placed on the concrete.
MrSum1_55 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 ^Actually foundation or not, it doesn't matter. All Chuck Norris has to do is roundhouse kick the ride to Mexico. Geauga Lake never closed due to lack of attendance, Chuck Norris just didn't like it. So, he covered X-Flight's track in the blood of his victims, and roundhouse kicked all the rides in the park in random directions. They all landed in other Cedar Fair parks. However, Teh Big Dipper's wood was too unstable to handle a Chuck Norris Roundhouse kick, so it was left to rot.
154bmag Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 A park operates because Chuck Norris allows it.
A.J. Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 This is all my fault. Shame on me! I don't know if this has been said before, but is it certain that there won't be a transfer table for Superman Ultimate Flight (like Mr. Freeze)?
QueerRudie Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 This is all my fault. Shame on me! I don't know if this has been said before, but is it certain that there won't be a transfer table for Superman Ultimate Flight (like Mr. Freeze)? I'd suspect it doesn't due to the total lack of a transfer assembly for the platform... which if they could do a transfer track, they could do a 'flip' style loading like the Mr.Freeze coaster... Either way, this ride has earned "THE MOST CRAPTACULAR CRAPACITY RIDE OF 2012!" award.
