CaptainUnknown Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 ^ I did check, which is why I found it so odd that someone posting on a YouTube video claiming that it had been removed. What? Are you telling me that something some random person said on Youtube wasn't true? What other lies have we been told? But in all seriousness: Flat rides like that are often disassembled for rehab during the off-season. It's entirely possible that someone caught wind of that and mistook it for the ride being removed. Here's a satellite image of Valleyfair's Scrambler which was removed from its pad for offseason storage/maintenance/rehab. Valleyfair Scrambler pad Early 2017
Sportsdude360 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 ^That's probably what they're doing to Harley. The video in question was the one of the new Harley Quinn Spinsanity (Tourbillion). The poster said they were at the park and saw the Troika being removed.
Sportsdude360 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 It is my sad duty to report that the Huss Troika, which operated under the name Crazy Legs before being renamed Harley Quinn Spinsanity, is indeed being removed. The news came down at ACE South Central Winterfest. We don't know yet if the ride is being relocated, just that it's being removed.

Sportsdude360 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I'll post updates as soon as I get them.
EliHorton Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Aw. That makes me sad that the Troika is getting removed. It was a very fun ride and it was one of the only non-thrill rides in Gotham. I hope they get some flying scooters in its place or something, though I wouldn't be super surprised if it is a super loop like what Six Flags Great America is getting.
bigboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if they replace it with nothing and just widen the pathway leading back to all of the newer rides behind it. I'll miss it and my kid will be disappointed that it's gone.
PhilNotPhil Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Unless I'm just not seeing them on the website, it seems that the discounted Gold passes for people who live farther than (x) from SFOT are gone. That's a fine how do you do.
bgtlover Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 ^I'm able to see/get to it just fine. (this one includes all 6 Flags outdoor parks in addition to home park) https://www.sixflags.com/overtexas/store/membership Then there is the one park or 2 park gold pass as well: https://www.sixflags.com/overtexas/store/season-passes
PhilNotPhil Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Those are standard passes. In the past few years (perhaps even longer, I'm pretty sure they did it when I was a kid too) they've had an option that allows you to enter your ZIP code and get a much reduced price from what's listed there if you live outside of a certain distance away from the park. They were called "AARC" (not AARP, ha) passes. I was never able to figure out what it stood for.
Sportsdude360 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Looks like the new ABC Tourbillion has arrived! Harley Quinn Spinsanity begins construction
Sportsdude360 Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 This thing looks huge!! Wonder how long it'll take to install our new Harley Quinn Spinsanity. BTW, is 60,000 lbs the weight of the entire ride or just that one piece?
ComeRideWithMe Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 This ride looks crazy/fun but for some reason I can't get that excited for it. Maybe it's all the spinning. I don't have a problem riding spinning rides, this just looks like something that wouldn't be on my list every visit. Plus the lines are gonna be insane. I was wondering if it would've been possible to have seating on each side of it to get as many on as possible. I'll be out there opening weekend, I'll take some pics of the progress and post them.
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 ...I was wondering if it would've been possible to have seating on each side of it to get as many on as possible... Ummmm, it does have seating on both sides. . .
ComeRideWithMe Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Ummmm, it does have seating on both sides. . . No I meant on each end. Instead of it being loaded standing up, it could be been loaded laying flat and both ends have seats. I counted and I got 24 riders at a time. So 24 on one end and 24 on the other. For a fair/carnival ride 24 is fine, but a major amusement park the line will be a nightmare. Riddler's Revenge line moves slow and they can get 40 on at a time.
sfkk Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I don’t comprehend? Can you break it down for me? Longer line= more flash pass= more money. Screw guest experience, stockholders could care less about that.

Screw guest experience, stockholders could care less about that. Ahhhhhh BINGO! I did not think of that. I have a pass and live close by so it's gonna be the one I go to as soon as the gates open like I do with RR (when it's actually running)
Jaykethekid Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Glad to see construction started! Is this supposed to open with the park or early season? Maybe they will find a way to construct this literally as slow as possible so they could have the usual memorial day opening? Jokes aside, im really interested to see how this ride turns out.

The park opens next Saturday - the 24th. The website says late spring opening, so probably around Memorial Day. I will be at the park a few time before then, I will post any updates and pics from my visits.
Sportsdude360 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 They are in the construction phase now. This kind of ride doesn't take that long to build, so I expect to see it completed soon.
jray21 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah, it shouldn't take long at all. I'm so excited that we'll have one of these in the states. I think another visit to Texas is in order!
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Even though this is a flat ride, I still cannot see Six Flags opening it before Memorial Day. That’s just how they roll. I have a Six Flags pass with food and parking, and I found some reasonable Frontier flights to DFW sometime in May or June, so I may visit this park if timing works out with school and work. After looking at Google Maps, it seems to airport is very close to the park, so Uber should be fairly cheap as well. It’s a possibility! Anyone have any recommendations for cheap hotels near the park / airport?
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Anyone have any recommendations for cheap hotels near the park / airport? We love the Holiday Inn Arlington NE-Rangers Ballpark. Great hotel, and great location. Never had a bad experience, and we stay there probably 10+ times a year.
