Pretty sure that was at SFOT. Regardless, no one gets their joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo is of some new extremely large scrapes in the siding outside of the door where they use a crane to reload trains after valleying. They were only on one train ops today, with no sign I saw of the left train. Was one damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The building has had battle damage for a few years now. Not too worried about a single train at the moment. It may be getting its rebuild still. But it has been single train more often than I'd like the last couple years. I hope they get number two running more reliably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacherkim Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I believe there have been some supply chain issues getting parts, same things affecting many other parks, nothing specific to SFTSL. And as already stated but worth repeating there was never a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Catwoman was turned on and in the vertical position but they stopped whatever they were doing due to rain before I got back there for a pic. I wouldn't be shocked if there was a preview next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my cup of tea, but if you want to be one of the first to ride, join ACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I've done one coaster event, which was Coaster Campout at CP. Although the experience was awesome, I witnessed what happens when too many coaster enthusiasts get together in one place, during Steel Vengeance ERT... Which is probably why I never put forth the effort to meet up with anyone. I'm not that hardcore. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixFlagsAstroworld Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Visited the park today, and I noticed that Justice League got rid of their 3D glasses. I asked and I was told that the park is "trying something new". Feels like a budget cut to me. American Thunder... Closed. But at least Catwoman and Xcalibur are now open. Catwoman is a lot of fun!

tndank Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Many Six Flags parks have removed the 3D from Justice League this year. People seem to prefer it without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 how do the video aspects look without the glasses? isn't the 3D all blurry? I'd much rather ride without having to put something on my face (even if sterilized) that someone else has just worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tndank Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Pretty sure they use a non-3D video now and it seems to be less blurry than the old 3D stuff (or they just turned off the 3D setting). I don't really see anyone complaining about it. Most people seem to prefer it without the 3D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don't speak for everyone, but 3D has always been a crappy gimmick that just might maybe occasionally accidentally be used in a semi-decent way. Once every thousand years or so we get Spider-Man. It was a 3D ride perfected. Top of the mountain. Nobody else has yet to match it, not even Universal because let's be honest, Transformers is a fun ride but it's a HUGE step down from Spidey. We have demonstrative proof that glass-free 3D works incredibly well and that's because they use it to add depth to a scene, not to point a stick at the audience or throw something at your face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something super recent because two weeks ago they were still using the glasses. Not super happy that about half of the effects seem down consistently now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The ride looks pretty good but if these cycle times hold up we're looking at fewer than one hundred riders per hour capacity. Even if they managed faster loading in the one minute range that's going to be 160 riders per hour. I'm going out on a limb and saying that's probably the worst capacity figure in the dry park. https://youtu.be/akuyaqBi7Hw?t=226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Coaster Man Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Less than 100 pph is pitiful. Such a shame, I've only seen good to raving reviews for a ride that won't even see 1,000 people in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquaman Power Wave here at SFOT isn't yet completed, but at least they had the good sense to add the turntable which should make thruput close to 1000 per hour. Catwoman, on the other hand, looks to be a fun ride if you don't mind the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete waste of space. Might as well be an upcharge ride. You know they will be leaving empty seats too (there are empties in the video even). Half your ride experience is baking in the sun looking up at the sky while the other side loads. This ride belongs at a fair not a major amusement park.

prozach626 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The ride operators are going to have to deal with irritated guests all day. The only worse job in the park will be serving turkey legs, because the guest frustration is equal, but you're in more danger. The go-karts look good this year. Must be the new higher quality business strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 In case anyone was wondering, Catwoman does actually have a single rider line, which helps a lot. When I rode, Catwoman had maybe a 2 or 3 hour wait, and I was able to get on within 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would wait 2-3 hours for that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
