Sportsdude360 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 That's interesting, signage and audio announcements in the park still indicate 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 could it possibly be a typo? Front page of SFOT site - just now - still shows 2021 (you'd think that would be the 1st thing they'd change) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Anything on any Six Flags web page at any time could be a typo, bad information because of a total lack of communication or anything in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY true. but on that "what's New" page, 2021 is listed for Aquaman at least 3 times that I counted, thruout the page. could very well be 2022 - which doesn't make a whole lotta sense, since it's basically built and almost ready. . but guess we'll see. i'm thinking 2022 is a typo tho on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Has to be a typo. The thing is like 70% built already. I can't imagine they are pushing things another year quite yet. Not saying it couldn't eventually happen if things get even more crazy but seems early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Like other have said, the Six Flags website may very well be wrong. But I can also see them delaying it for whatever reason. I guess we'll see. I did, however, see a note on Instagram (reliable, I know) that the website mentions that Aquaman has an inversion. Maybe it's opening in 2022 because they're adding in a loop like in that concept video. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 ^ Mack *did* introduce a "power loop" concept (Power Splash with a loop) in January 2020 - (you can search for it on youtube - deleted the video imbed, as not from an official MACK site) so who the hell knows. .

Canobie Coaster Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 For now, I'd say it's an error on the Six Flags site because it wouldn't be the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It could be possible it was a typo, but if you click the link to view the ride, 2022 is stated THREE more times on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dankeykang Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 What's interesting to me is that they can't seem to figure out what the top speed will be... and also that they consider El Diablo to be a roller coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterGuy06 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I hope Six Flags keeps doing things like this in the coming years when things become "more normal." As for Aquaman it's Screamscape so take it with a grain of salt, but they say they have received reports the delay to 2022 is because they have decided to retrofit the ride with a turntable and 2nd boat. Good news if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags over Texas is year-round now, aren't they? Is this an event that only takes up part of the park and it's not fully open this year or is the park fully open and this is just a bonus thing?

tndank Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They are year round. Just a bonus event inside the park. SFoT and SFFT are both working their asses off putting together events and keeping their parks going strong. Also, they confirmed at Winterfest they are adding the turn table and extra boat for Aquaman this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
