liltrekkie Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Going in Dragon Wings old spot makes a ton of sense. It'll fill that section of the park nicely. But that still leaves the spot by tidal wave, and really that whole section of park, incredibly empty and neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ride support structure is 75ftx100ft and it swings out an additional 50ft each on the long sides (total 75ftx200ft). They could use this arcade for the queue rather than Axis or obviously build new buildings. Edit: An easy retheme for Joker would be just name it Riddler. No need to change the color. Slap some question mark decals on there. Remove the face that already is nearly disappeared and call it a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Having just ridden Wonder Woman at Great Adventure a few days ago, this is a great addition. My only complaint is the hard plastic molded seats that are not nice to my butt. Once it gets moving, though, it isn't a problem. They're tons of fun and pull some nice Gs at the base, plus the floater air is incredible once it gets to height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only put the support structure footprint on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, the thought of it swinging over the lagoon is absolutely thrilling to me. It would be a lovely view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a lovely view. There'd be a lot of room to play with orientation within that plot of land but the general placement that I chose there makes for an impressive sight walking the midway from Pandemonium to the games, while swinging towards the lagoon. You'd be able to see it right in front of you swinging above the 'arcade' building. It could be pushed a good 25ft closer to the railroad track without changing this framing I just did a quick and dirty fit check. The angle would look about like this walking this direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at Fiesta Texas has the same name and a themed queue. Knowing the Six Flags web team, it's very likely that they just copied and pasted this description from that one. It may have a themed queue or it may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would make a wonder to the skyline since it would be sitting up higher than the front of the park on the hill added to its already tall height.

prozach626 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I don't care where it's located. It will still be the best addition to the park since American Thunder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's exactly the same ride, just different paint. Six flags has a history of buying multiple of the same ride and spreading them out over their parks over 2-3 years. Maybe they get a discount buying in bulk or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags Over Texas has the Giant Discovery model, St. Louis is getting the Giga Discovery which is 25 feet taller than the Giant version. St. Louis will have the same as Great Adventure, Fiesta Texas, Magic Mountain, Mexico, and soon to be Great America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveStL Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I am surprised we got the Giga version of this ride. Seems too grandiose for St Louis. Especially when you look at Catwoman Whip's riders per hour. It's one extreme to another. Just another reason to think the folk's making the decisions really don't pay attention to what they are doing for SFSTL. We are just an afterthought.

I'm still ticked off that Great America is getting an original name for theirs and that name ISN'T Sky Whirl. It should totally be called Sky Whirl.

RSHSLax Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Can anyone explain how preferred parking works? I bought the 2024 Diamond Pass but I can't find any additional information about how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's a marked section of the lot, and there will be signs up). personally, I never use Preferred at my home park (Fiesta Tx). . I've always managed to find closer places to park in the general parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
