bigboy Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 That certainly looks a lot more like the removal of Aquaman is inevitable. As for the other project keeping the train closed, he didn't elaborate beyond that so he either doesn't know or isn't willing to say. Someone asked if the removal of Aquaman and whatever might be replacing it could be impacting the train since the track sits adjacent to the ride and he said it was possible. Take that with the grain of salt I would anything that's not coming from official sources at the park. The guy that posted this is a pretty straight shooter that's worked at the park a long time and I would err on the side of believing that he really doesn't know what's happening.
TexasParkman Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 you know.... Big Bend used to fit in that space pretty nice- well some of it anyway. An RMC Raptor "kind of" reminds me of Big Bend..... Both Raptors traverse over water.....we don't have a Wonder Woman named attraction - hmmmmm. I am a little bummed about losing a water ride in a very hot Park in the summer. Gotham could really use a water based attraction- that end of the Park is very hot and dry.
Sportsdude360 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I'll be visiting the park over the weekend. I'm going to take as many photos as I can to try and document whatever is going on with Aquaman.
aeyrolet Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Looks like Aquaman's demise is confirmed based on Over Texas Thrills Facebook post.
bigboy Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 That’s hardly confirmation. What if the new improvements are just improvements to the existing ride? I’m not saying the ride isn’t a goner, but this is just more circumstantial evidence.
Sportsdude360 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I was at the park today, this is my Aquaman vlog. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] This sign appears near the ride exit
RollerManic Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I for one am not going to be missing Aquaman at all. I always thought it was obnoxiously hideous. It's removal means another DC-ride out of a non-DC area - so good riddance! I always thought the west-side of SFOT was one of the best looking areas of any Six Flags park, while the other half of the park is certainly one of the worst. I would love if whatever replaces Aquaman would restore some contiguity to that area of the park, but because I know that wont happen, I hope whatever DC-themed ride comes is at least not hideous as Aquaman was.
Sportsdude360 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 ^ The two prevailing theories with regards to a possible replacement for Aquaman are as follows. Theory #1 = Mack Power Splash. Theory #2 = RMC Single Rail Coaster - Raptor, T-Rex. Whatever happens I'm going to enjoy documenting it for my YouTube channel, FB and TPR.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 This word, "prevailing," you keep using it. I do not think it means what you think it means.
conman1310 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I come on here wanting more news on Aquaman and El Diablo not for grammar lessons
bert425 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 I dunno. . . I could listen to Olivier and his accent all day. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
michaellynn4 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 This word, "prevailing," you keep using it. I do not think it means what you think it means. One of the acceptable definitions of prevailing is "current". So technically, he's using it correctly.
bigboy Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Video of El Diablo being delivered and fully assembled was posted to the park's Facebook page today. I tried embedding the video here, but kept striking out.

That thing is a LOT larger than I was expecting.
golfburner Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Hey guys! I am visiting Dallas this weekend and will be heading to the park tomorrow morning. Which rides can I expect to be closed and what rides should I hit up first as I am not getting flashpass? Thanks all!
bigboy Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Lots of chatter on Facebook today saying that the train will reopen soon. The "temporarily closed" note is gone from the depot listings on the park's website.
Sportsdude360 Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, it does look like the train will operate during the season. However, the train runs adjacent to the now defunct Aquaman: Splashdown ride where work continues. This area is considered an FRA or "Future Ride Area". What this means is that, at times, there may be considerable work going on in the area, including the use of large cranes ect. If this happens, there may be certain hours or even days when the train will not operate due to large construction equipment compromising the train tracks. It's also possible that the walkway directly behind the tracks will be periodically closed to allow for the use of large equipment, cranes ect.
SFStl Fan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Some fanboy page on Facebook is claiming that Herschend Entertainment is working a deal to purchase or acquire SFOT and two other Six Flags parks for 5 billion dollars, stating the buyout could be completed as early as 2021. Sounds like a load of garbage. Kinda makes you wonder what if though.

I'm putting my bets on Darien Lake as one of the other two. Sometimes you gotta double down and try again.
