SteveStL Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm sorry that you can see Batman, Mr. Freeze, a WHOLE WATERPARK, The Boss, Excalibur, Pandemonium, Superman, Tornado, American Thunder, Sky Screamer, and Bonzai Pipeline as SFStL being neglected. American Thunder is the only exceptional ride you listed. (The Boss could be exceptional for reasons already discussed). The others are clones and/or park Staples which really don't set our park apart from the others. The bottom complaint is we need new Steel, something custom, something signature.

I believe the last custom coaster except for Boss is Ninja, which was moved from another park. I mean, American Thunder is also a clone, just mirrored.

Vonni Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Prozach, our problem with you is not that you have an opposing view. Its the way you state everything! You are rude to other posters, you are always dripping with an attitude, and you're quite simply a jerk! You can not have a civilized conversation. I mean, if this is how you are going to act on the forums, I'd hate to get pulled over by you for a simple moving violation! Go ahead, keep defending yourself in your "I'm always right" fashion. Its gotten to the point where its your problem now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually pretty comical how you choose to pipe up on almost every one of my posts. Kudos for being predictable. Congrats. I don't like you either. Stop letting the internet upset you. How about getting back on topic and you can act like an adult and ignore my opinion if you don't agree with it? Or are you going to continue to clog the forums with posts of how you don't like me?

piedude81 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I wasn't calling you a gay basher. It's more of a metaphor, you know? I was saying that it's okay to be against something and say what you'd like to say, but being a jerk to a group of people or a group of people representing a group is NOT okay. And right now, you're being a jerk. From now on, I'm just done with replying to you. When you stop making posts that are demeaning to others, I'll gladly respond. Until such time, I will not respond, and I hope others will follow as well. I'm sick of feeding the ego behind your personality. Besides that, let's all try to have a good time! We're not here to argue, we're supposed to be a community sharing a common interest, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^^ Thank you Robb! I'm curious as to how the theme for Tsunami Soaker will be. Will it be exactly like the Aqua Twist at La Ronde, or will it have a different theme and design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the theme really isn't important, but the execution is key. Personally, I'm hoping it just makes the area of the park much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think that there won't be much of a theme. The area will look nice, much like the area around Boomerang. Either way, it is a much needed improvement for the area, so I'm happy none the less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theymitbgi Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 With the Hannibarrels gone, it's going to leave a thin strip of the wild west theming with the old tyme photo place, small gift shop, mooseburger and mine train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 But even with the Hannibarrels standing, there was not much to that area anyway. The Hannibarrels had sat dormant for seventeen years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Even if there is an awkward Wild West theming in a section, hopefully it will be ugly enough to warrant removal in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had wondered about this ride (don't think I ever saw it running), and it was indeed interesting to get a peak at the state of a ride that had literally been sitting idle for nearly two decades!) It's not too often that this happens at a still otherwise operating park, right? Did a simple search and didn't come across any videos of the ride actually running - anyone know of any floating around? It seems like any that are still running are indoors, and I don't see the "15 degree tilt" that is referenced in -G's writeup in any of the videos. I guess the reason I find this so interesting is that the parks usually end up parting out rides like this (when it's decided that they're done with them) even if they're not going to immediately remove it.....it seems like this one was turned off after the hydraulic system went, and they just walked away from it "as-is".

Vonni Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 ^ It really is a fascinating report. I wonder if the Ride could have still been operable without the 15 degree tilt, because from what I understand that is the only part that malfunctioned and what led to the closure of the ride. Does anyone have some theories or info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have some theories or info on this? I would assume that the ride was built around said hydraulic system that created the tilt, so if any of the hydraulics went, the entire ride would cease to operate. I can't say that I know that for sure since I don't know anything about the ride, but that's my educated guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piedude81 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes the ride could have operated without the tilt feature, however I don't think that was the issue, The hydraulic system could have also been used to actually spin the ride itself. If you lose the hydraulic pump, nothing works and if a motor is lost than part of the system will work. So most likely a drive motor or a pump went out. Hydraulic pumps and motors are extremely expensive because they are precision machined to very tight tolerances. Huh. Never knew that about hydraulics.

SFZIP Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 One factor as to why when The Hannibarrels broke it was dead for good, is that there were not that many Intamin Drunken Barrel rides made, the only two other Six Flags parks to have them were Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Over Georgia, there were other parks that had them, but they were pretty rare.
