Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

[bert425]

if I had to guess? that last one is a "Pink Thing"

 

 

and yeah, I was gonna point out that was Mr & Mrs Pac Man. . but don't recall them being used in the park ever.

In the late 70s early 80s where LOONEY TUNES land is located it was a play area called PAC MAN LAND

[Sportsdude360]

Yep, i remember Pac-Land. If it's Mack, it has to be the Power Splash!

 

EDIT:

 

I've seen those documents on FB. The cat is pretty much out of the bag now.

A Mack Power Splash will be an awesome addition to the park. I bet it will be extremely popular on those ridiculously hot 100+ degree days in Texas.

[Canobie Coaster]

And on the rare cooler days, can the fill level be adjusted to reduce the splash?

Not sure about that one.

It’a pretty awesome that this will actually be happen. I was really holding out hope on the rumor that the second MACK Power Splash would be coming to the US of all places.

 

It’s also great to see a park replace an aging water ride with another water ride instead of just ripping them out until they have none left (*cough* Carowinds).

 

Aquaman was hideous and I was very pleased to see it go. I hope this attraction will look a lot better in the area but I can only still hope on that, depending on how Six Flags wants to go with theming and colors.

Don't get yourself too excited. Ultimately may lead to more disappointment.

 

I'm really going to laugh if this just ends up being a kids area expansion. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

Perfect ride for SFOT, my visit to Texas a couple of years ago was THEE most humid weather I've ever experienced.

Take a look at this shipping detail.

^ WOW! That sure is some kiddie ride!

Well there you have it. Thank you for actually posting the link. It would of been nice if someone had done that originally either to Facebook or what you did. Otherwise for those like me who don't have interest in Facebook and searching around in it, you look like you are going crazy.

It sure is. (Never said it was, just said it was going to be funny if it was.)

[RollerManic]

Sorry about that. I naively looked back a page and saw someone mention it, and thought word was around by now. Someone on the SFOG page was actually the one who brought it to my attention first.

[conman1310]

Looking at the shipping label why would it go into port of New Orleans and not Galveston ?

[ytterbiumanalyst]

^ Same reason you might not fly out of the closest airport. Price.

There is a link on screamscape about another ride removal rumor, but when I click on the link it does not show anything. I was curious if anyone on here has heard anything.

went and looked for you: it's at the top of the SFOT page, he just typoed and meant to put 7/21, and instead he put 7/2.

 

he's talking about the cloud bouncer ride. . . but really, he often makes errors, and "borrows" his info from other sources. So I'd take anything with a grain of salt from that site.

Aquaman continues to come down.

Workers began demolition on the lift hill

Aquaman now a pile of rubble

[Mrlittle]

Not sure if it’s been discussed yet but my friend said he tried the new Pink Thing ice cream from Blue Bell. He said it tasted a lot like the classic. I need to get to SFOT to try it out.

4 ways to try it.

Latest Aquaman demolition photos.

The lift hill has been removed

The upper trough and supports still remain

Aquaman's lower sections are completely gone

Men on site

Another angle of the lift hill

We can see the lift hill has been deconstructed

This is the temporary road used to move heavy equipment and ride parts in and out

Cloud bouncer is still there, but should be relocated soon

[Vonni]

Is Cloud Bouncer being relocated within the park, or being relocated to another park in the chain?

Probably within the park.

[Sportsdude360]

This section is now closed off.

Welders cutting the upper trough apart
