Vonni Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm glad SFStL decided to stay with the original colors of Batman. I think it fits the best. I cant wait until Spring! I'm ready to walk through those gates again! I'm also really excited to see the new area with Tsunami Soaker! I'm sure its going to look great! Such a much needed improvement to that area of the Park! I hope to see some more construction updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of, if not the, main motivator behind sticking with the black as opposed to yellow is the fact that the black paint stays black much longer than the more colorful paints, which fade and deteriorate much quicker.

Grant45 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So what's everyone think that we could see coming to the park in 2015? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piedude81 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So what's everyone think that we could see coming to the park in 2015? Another flat ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 So what's everyone think that we could see coming to the park in 2015? I would like to see a new waterpark attraction, preferably a ProSlide Behemoth Bowl. I think it's been posted here that the carousel will most likely get a much-needed refurbishment and relocation to the Palace Theater plaza for it's 100th anniversary.

SFZIP Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 A little update on Tsunami Soaker - most if not all of the "pool" area has been poured for the ride (it looks to have a slightly larger footprint than the Hannibarrels did, so there will have to be walkway changes around the ride when it's done) and at least some of the ride is here now, so some more major construction should start soon. The only space left around the ride for a que area looks to be on the side by Marquette's/Outpost (where the Air Brush building that was demoslished stood), but I don't know what the plan for the surrounding area is. The ride is not scheduled to open until Memorial Day weekend (Saturday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piedude81 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ok, ok, I know we all hate those who speculate on this thread, but I have an idea that I think would be a cool addition to our park. What if.. they installed a Vekoma Stingray? It's a unique ride that hasn't really been built anywhere else, and has a pretty small footprint. The biggest problem with the ride is probably its capacity (525/785 pph depending on the 2 or 3 row model), since the ride tops out at two 12 person cars. However, Six Flags could ask for a custom design to allow room for a third car. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 ^^ That would work better at SFA or The Great Escape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWFan Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Personally, one of the things that I'm most excited about is how the new ride and the surrounding area's theme will look. I think that the "warf" theme of the ride/area will look great! It's sure to brighten up that section of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone asks about the Vekoma Junior Suspended for SFAm that was rumored; Technically it would have been bought by Chance under license from Vekoma.

Vonni Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm so excited for a nice hot day at SFStL, with beautiful trees, and flowers, and the smell of funnel cake, and the roar you hear delivered from Batman. I cant wait to be back in my Park again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 For being such a large area/island in the middle of Thunder River, I'm curious as to what was on it, or what it was used for before Mr. Freeze was built. Does anyone here know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone here know? Nothing... before Thunder River there was this Disney Jungle Cruise type ride called Mississippi River Adventure. There were no bridges or walkways for any guest to gain access to that area, until they built Freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFZIP Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The Thunder River island was nothing but trees, before Mr. Freeze was built. Mississippi Adventure was the Jungle Cruise style ride that was there before Thunder River, it's entrance was where JB' Smokehouse & Sports Bar is going (former Villian's Cafe) and the ride went counterclockwise around the island (opposite of what Thunder River does).
