ChrisGraslie Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 Hey everyone! I've been out of the loop on this forum for a long time now so I'm not sure if this has already been reported but Typhoon Twister will be opening on May 26th.
Sportsdude360 Posted May 9, 2018 Posted May 9, 2018 ^ Soon you guys up there in St Louis will be Typhooning and Twisting!
tanthonyam Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Glad they are giving Xcalibur some TLC. Meaning it will stay around for awhile longer.
prozach626 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 The only problem I have with Superman is that every time I’ve ridden it in the last couple years, I’ve always gotten shafted with a seat facing away from the park and towards that back hill. Me too. Thanks a lot Josh... (joking) We usually only ride it when he's working.
thisdougsforu Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 Thanks for the info a couple pages back on Falcon's Fury. Assuming I survive the ride with my wits intact I'll be sure and do our Superman Tower (finally) the next time I visit, which will probably be early June. Unrelated, but I was looking at some Six Flags St. Louis stuff on YouTube the other day and Coaster Studios "review" of Six Flags St. Louis came up, which looks like it was posted just a couple months ago. I gave it a watch. Yeesh, he brutalized it pretty good. Not saying I disagree with many of those points but damn, that makes the park look quite a bit worse than it actually is IMO.
Sportsdude360 Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 ^ I've seen that review! He literally said that he had "forgotten" that he had been to the park because it was so bad. I've haven't visited SFSTL since the 70's, but I had no idea it had gone downhill that bad.

It is all about expectations, if he was expecting King's Island/Cedar Pt experience then yes our park isn't too great. For a local park however, it is fine. Ultimately, we are about 20 years behind the time. In other words, if it was 1998 with our park as it is today we would be in great shape and on par with current technology, design, etc. yada yada

JG-77 Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 If you think that he was slamming SFStL, then you clearly haven't seen his review of La Rhonde!
Stagman Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Going to a music festival in Cincinnati next month so I figured I’d hit up King’s island. Just bought my tickets and was pleasantly surprised that single day tickets aren’t ungodly expensive like ours are.

They also have two and three day packages. On the flip side their season passes are 3x the price of a SFSL pass.

Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Get Fast Lane Plus Seriously, it's so worth it. You pretty much walk right on all of the rides.
Danrarbc Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Didn't notice a ton of additional vertical progress on Typhoon Twister on Saturday, but more slide pieces were missing in the parking lot. This is going to end up going up very quickly with some big lifts eh? Wave pool has water in it so there's definitely plenty of work going in to the water park. Hopefully mother nature warms that up a bit more than it did last year.
Jason Maier Posted May 14, 2018 Posted May 14, 2018 Is The Boss now a better ride with the re-profiling?
Danrarbc Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Not much left to install. The circle/funnel turn or whatever on down seems to be in place.
Philrad71 Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Is The Boss now a better ride with the re-profiling? Let's just say that it's now the best part of the coaster after the first drop.
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Just left the park. I noticed new lighting in batman’s station. I thought it was pretty cool. The boss’s new turn is fun with a pop of air in the end of it. Wasn’t expecting the mid course brakes to stop the car that much.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Is The Boss now a better ride with the re-profiling? Let's just say that it's now the best part of the coaster after the first drop. I agree with this.
Stagman Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Six Flags announced they bought 5 new parks today. 3 of them are water parks only. http://investors.sixflags.com/news-and-events/press-releases/2018/05-22-2018-210951050
Danrarbc Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 So Darien Lake and Frontier City both rejoin the Six Flags family. Funny how that works, hope it goes better this time.
Canobie Coaster Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Some pieces for their new water slide are still sitting in the parking lot, so it looks like it wasn't quite ready in time for Memorial Day weekend. Also has Justice League been closed recently? Everything was closed due to weather when I arrived. I thought it was odd their indoor ride would be closed too.
Danrarbc Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 If it won't be ready some communication from the park would be nice.
Canobie Coaster Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 The crane has been working at the water park all day. Even if they complete it, wouldn't they still need to get it tested/inspected?
Canobie Coaster Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 The Eagle has had a long wait all day. I'm currently queuing and this may be my only ride on it. Is it better towards the front or back?
