obeygiant Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Looks awesome! I've always wondered how they would do a skateboarding coaster... And it actually doesn't look too rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 If there's one ride that has asphault underneith, I guess this one would be it. It actually fits the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyblackjack Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 You beat me to that comment Gomez. I said that about the pictures of the one at Fiesta Texas because it had grass under it and I thought the same thing of all rides this one would really fit in, in a parking lot and they build it over grass.

mxman005 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 looks pretty cool. I would love to get on one of those spinning vehicle coasters. Looks like lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Really nice photos! I agree the coaster is great overall. I really enjoy Pandemonium at SFNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borjoyzee Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I like the looks of this one. It's a mirror image of Spinning Dragons at Worlds of Fun. I do, however, like the looks of this one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The ride indeed is excellent. Great photos of the ride. I just thought I would post a link to this video I made, I spent about 4 hours editing it. Starting immediatly once I got back into Rolla from the park. (This is MConte05 from the sfstl.net boards btw) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4287607223726916470 Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nice Trip Report. Is it the same layout as Mr. Six's Pandamonium at Six FLags New England? BTW: THBS looks awsome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimths08 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Looks awesome!I've always wondered how they would do a skateboarding coaster... And it actually doesn't look too rough It's not rough at all. There's only one jolt, going into ramp, and that's a track issue. I think the lead-in is just really small there. The spinning is all smooth and buttery. Tis very nice. And coastercrazed, it's the same layout though mirrored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Wow, this is a great ride for SFSTL, and it looks so cool in the area. This looks so much better than I expected, and now I really want to go back to SFSTL. I see that it is in the back of the park, but (random question) is the entrance by Xcalibur or is the entrance in Loony Tunes National Park?

kennywood!007 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The St. Louis one looks 10000000X better than the Fiesta Texas one. That entrance is sweeeet! And the ramp looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know where Friar Tucks Turkey Legs is, then you could say that the entrance is basically right there. The park is situated right next to Xcalibur though.

BDG Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Very nice. I don't understand why the record parks like Magic Mountain, Cedar Point and Great Adventure don't have rides like this. Not even a simple mouse. The cheapest rides to crank up their records... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 ^I was mainly aiming towards placement. It looks nicer at St. Louis. I have nothing against the FT version, I just like the St. Louis enviroment better. Theme-wise they look equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimths08 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'd say SFFT's has the better theme, but I do like our entrance. As I said before, the ride fits in perfectly. It feels as if it's always been there. The trees surrounding it complement it SOOO much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Cool TR. I have yet to ride a spinning coaster but big spin looks like a fun ride, not to mention a smooth one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.LouisBOI Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Just wait for the pathway going under the ramp and ride to get finished and imagine the new views and photo ops you can get. It's pretty sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I really hate that they put a Tony Hawk themed coaster in the middle of the Britannia section, but it does look like it at least fits in with the environment. I cant wait to get over to SFStL and ride this thing May 5th. Great photos of a great park, thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimths08 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I think Six Flags was trying to put the coaster in that location because it's close to Bugs Bunny National Park. I consider it an extension of BBNP actually. I'll be out there May 5th as well! Hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'll be out there May 5th as well! Hope to see you there! I'm going with my school. Is that going to be any kind of special day at the park (i.e. a school day)? It seems every time I go to SFStL with school the park is so crowded you cant get any rides in. Either way, it might be cool to see a fellow TPR member there. We might just have to ride something together and talk coaster nerdy talk. -Justin "POST NUMBER 1000!"

Seabaugh Saturday will be Choir day, but I wouldn't expect it to get TOO busy. They'll have two trains running on everything so lines shouldn't get more than 10-15 minutes. Hit me up with some numbers or some way of contacting you and we'll set something up! I'd be glad to spend a couple hours with a fellow enthusiast.
