SixFlagsAstroworld Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 ^^Great news! Xcalibur really needed new paint since the paint from the days it was Evolution was showing
bert425 Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 amazingly, Six Flags found my missing photos from American Thunder (from our ride ~2 weeks ago), and uploaded them to my photocard account. Without telling me, of course, but they were there after I downloaded my pics today from Fiesta Texas. wish they emailed me, so I could thank them via response! Kim, I'll email you the ones of us, but this one just cracks me the hell up, and I had to share. No, I have NO idea what the lady is doing in front of me - they were on their first ever ride too, using a "Front of line" pass, and asked me if they could take the front row (I was using Flash Pass). I didn't mind, 2nd row was fine. . so she wasn't posing for the camera.
teacherkim Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 LOl, looks like the wrong bra to me, she seems to be holding them in place. If you don't use the power sports type bra on the woodies it can be brutal. I have a drawer full of "amusement park clothes", which includes among other things the best sports bra money can buy and some water shorts....because no one likes walking around with a wet a** all day after riding a rapids ride!
RSHSLax Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 No Mr. Freeze today. The train is in the valley. How long dues that usually shut it down for?
Vonni Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I just realized we are only a little over two months away from the SF 2020 announcements. Time goes so fast! I know it wont necessarily be anything to write home about, but I am still excited to see what may come. Although I most likely wont ride it because I cant do most flats.
prozach626 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I know it wont necessarily be anything to write home about I'm no optimist, but you never know. We don't have too many copy/paste nickle and dime SF options left.

We don't have too many copy/paste nickle and dime SF options left. It is disappointing that there are SO many options, yet a realistic speculation for the park is so limited.
prozach626 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 It's ironic that after all of these years I'm the one thinking of the realistic possibility of a new addition in the near future and you're leaning toward the more realistic unlikeliness of a significant new addition!

Lol they killed my spirit! I was pretty naïve back then lol! The thing is, I know that the park and area could support a major addition. Corporate just doesn't want to do it.
castaway_kid Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I could see SFSTL getting the Green Lantern ride from Magic Mountain, if they still plan to remove it... While not the best thing we could get by far, I also don't think it's the worst.
Vonni Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 ^ I've never ridden it, but I haven't heard anything good about it. So I'd rather not see it here.
bert425 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 if I had to place a bet? y'all are getting a coaster of some type. either a raptor (possible, the space back there by the closed water ride and beyond certainly has space for a raptor coaster), or S&S Free Spin (way more likely).
Vonni Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I could see the Green Lantern ZacSpin going to La Ronde or SFA instead of SFStL
Nrthwnd Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 ^ I've never ridden it, but I haven't heard anything good about it. So I'd rather not see it here. Maybe they'll do a better job with running it and keeping it in shape, and making it more "rideable". Who am I kidding? It's Six Flags. P.S. I rode it a few years back. It - was - awful. The one in Grona Lund, Sweden {INSANE} is much better.
prozach626 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I think SFMM has confirmed they're keeping the Zac Spin

bert425 Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 I could see the Green Lantern ZacSpin going to La Ronde or SFA instead of SFStL I would guess the GL ZacSpin is going in the trash

Oh no Zack, don't go there! Trust me, I'll never go down the rabbit hole. What is likely my favorite park has constructed a kickass hyper, a kickass inverted roller coaster, a kickass GCI, and is now constructing a kickass giga, all in the time we've gotten a 30 year old green and orange boomerang.
Canobie Coaster Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Speaking of bets, Six Flags New England made good on their hockey bet with Six Flags St. Louis and renamed Thunderbolt the Thunder Blues.
Vonni Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I think SFMM has confirmed they're keeping the Zac Spin From what I understand is that it was confirmed it would reopen, just not at SFMM.
jamesk25 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I wouldn't expect a coaster until 2022. The park has other things that it needs before investing in a coaster. My predictions/ would like to see 2020 the carousel closes for refurbishment and a new enclosed flat ride takes over the carousel house. Moon cars is closed, Tidal Wave demolished and Moon Cars takes over Tidal Waves spot reusing the station. 2021 Giant Discovery takes over Shazam's spot. Based on measurements from Google Earth it would be a tight fit but it would look awesome. Shazam moves up to the new Moon Car area with a new name, possibly could bring back the old Mo Mo Monster name. The carousel reopens in the Palace Garden. 2022 RMC Raptor built using most of Ninja's supports. What would be cool if they use the area across from Shazam where the lone arcade and drink refrill is and take up that area with either a flat or a S&S Free Spin (I believe that should still fit but it would be a tight fit up to JB). That would be awesome to add life in that corner especially with a free spin flying over both water rides and could easily be named to a DC Character. I would leave Shazam alone, instead it would either be awesome to see a RMC Raptor that fits in the moon car area or a Maxx Force launched coaster. That would add more visual interest to the the parks skyline in the front and could have some pretty cool and up close elements near American Thunder and the railroad.
