sixflagsfans3793 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 One of a kind. I'm just going to let someone else take this one What do you mean?
michaellynn4 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 One of a kind. I'm just going to let someone else take this one What do you mean? ::tags in:: He means since there are several versions of this coaster (SFFT, SFGAdv, SFOT, SFNE, SFGAm, etc), the term technically doesn't apply. However, I'd argue that the experience these coasters generate is pretty unique among roller coasters, which means the argument still stands. I guess you could make an argument with Arrow 4Ds and Zac Spins, but I'm not enough of a nerd to remotely care about participating in such a discussion.

Yeah I like the experience that I've had on the rides and that is why I am willing to get on those type of ride again.
thisdougsforu Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I know this keeps going round and round, but i'd be shocked if we didn't get a 4d coaster given the rate that SF has been buying them up for other parks.

I would too cause I mean it's a unique coaster and people like it most of the time.
Sportsdude360 Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I know this keeps going round and round, but i'd be shocked if we didn't get a 4d coaster given the rate that SF has been buying them up for other parks. I wouldn't be too sure about that. SFOT hasn't received a Larson Looper even though they seem to be cropping up at a lot of other parks. My understanding is that they aren't going to be getting one since Traders Village just put one in down the road aways. It's possible and even probable that SFSTL will get an S&S 4D, but nothing is certain at this point. Edited February 16, 2017 by Sportsdude360
Vonni Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe, just MAYBE, if SFStL gets an S&S 4D we will get the larger model. But then again, if they didn't send it to SFGAd, SFGAm, or SFOT, I doubt they will send it to SFStL.
Superbatboy Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Mayyyyyybe SFGAM and SFGradv got the smaller model because they were either preceded or succeeded by another major investment (Justice League) within a year. SFStl hasnt gotten anything significant since 2015, so maybe 2018 is the year we FINALLY see the 10 inversion model. Who am I kidding? Yeah right...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Maybe SFStL will get lucky and a recycled 4D Free Spin from another Six Flags park... and the park that removed the free spins will get the S&S twisted Larson Loop thing.
Kevin Long Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 or maybe SFSL will get an upgrade to the water park - bypassing all the coaster enthusiasts wishes...... Kevin
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 or maybe SFSL will get an upgrade to the water park - bypassing all the coaster enthusiasts wishes... Shhhhhhhhh, stop being so realistic!
prozach626 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Kevin, the pessimist in me fears you're right.
Kevin Long Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 well, the area is looking used pretty hard, and an general update might actually increase revenue. I am pretty sure( though I have no actual Idea) even one of the larger tube slides ( excluding one of these http://www.proslide.com/rides/rocketblast/) would be Much less costly of an investment, than a mega coaster. Kevin
prozach626 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I assume slides in general are less costly, which is why I have noticed a lot of parks seem to be upgrading their water parks in combination with other park additions. I just hope the park doesn't get a small bundle of pro slides and call it a year.
Sportsdude360 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Pro slides do look to be a lot of fun. Wouldn't mind having one at HH here in Arlington.
MrFurious Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Off topic....but did I notice that JLBFM had a single rider line last year?
ChrisGraslie Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Off topic....but did I notice that JLBFM had a single rider line last year? Yes, and if I remember correctly, it takes you into the Flash Pass line.
HWFan Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Off topic....but did I notice that JLBFM had a single rider line last year? Yes, and if I remember correctly, it takes you into the Flash Pass line. Yup, Flash Pass and wheelchairs now enter through the exit. While Spinsanity may not be the hypercoaster that everyone would love, it's really starting to look great! In its location, you can really appreciate its size. I can't wait to see it when they finish! Long story short, SFSL is really using the ride and location to its full potential, which really says a lot about the park. With TS across the midway, it's like the washer and the dryer.
michaellynn4 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Josh, any word on whether the park plans to release any photos of the construction progress? I know it's not exactly a huge install, but it'd be interesting to see how everything is shaping out.
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Great to hear about Spinsanity! Are there any other updates to the park that's worth noting?
castaway_kid Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I still think they will hold out until 2019 for the next HH expansion. That will be the 20th anniversary of the water park opening. Plus two different slide tower complexes would easily fit in that space left over from the paintball area north of Big Kahuna.

The colors look pretty good:
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 ^Awesome, that's going to look nice. The park has been slowly but steadily improving things. More flats help, especially one as good as this.
