prozach626 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 We'll get something, because it's bound to happen. I still don't think we'll see it in the next couple of years. I'm not sure if it will replace Ninja or not, because demolition adds to cost.
aaronmb Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 A recent survy email kind of implied a character theme ride. Personally, Id like to see a WW coaster replace Nnja.
thisdougsforu Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Unless Ninja goes in the tank from a reliability standpoint, I don't see them removing it. Tidal Wave would be cheaper to remove and would seem to make a lot more sense. I would guess whatever attraction goes in for next year will probably replace the Fling, though.

The Huss Troika was just removed here at SFOT. It's possible that could be your replacement.
Philrad71 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Are there any local supermarkets that are offering good discount deals to get into the park? I checked Tickets At Work, but $52 still seems too expensive for this park.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) It's been a long time since I bought a one-day ticket to Six Flags, since the season pass is like $10 more. I believe Dierbergs has discount tickets though. Edited April 14, 2018 by ytterbiumanalyst
Vonni Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 We also have to remember that corporate may prefer to give Ninja the refurbishment that SFOG got for their Ninja. That would be much cheaper than demolishing it, and replacing it with another coaster.

Waste of money and time yes ... Bad decision by SF Corp yes.
Danrarbc Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 You definitely get more speed into the double up. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
tanthonyam Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Just curious when they refurbish or need new parts for Xcalibur, who do they get them from? Or do they make their own? I think that manufacturer is out of business.
prozach626 Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Thanks for posting the video of Boss. That looks so much more enjoyable than the previous torture finale. I always had thoughts near the end of the ride of major regret. By the time I got halfway through the helix I hated myself for riding. I think I blacked out during the last half of the helix. By the time I got to the double-up I didn't feel a thing from my concussion. When I hit the station I was ready to piss my kidney stones out which had been knocked loose. I think if I rode it one more time with the helix my appendix would be gone in no time. Ether that or I would roach my liver from preparation to ride. Luckily, I've never had many brain cells to worry about losing.
Vonni Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Front gate entry question: The three times I visited the park last Fall/Winter they were not running the finger scanners so I haven't have my finger print for my 2018 pass done yet. Will this cause any hold up entering the park when I visit for the first time this year?
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 If you don't have a fingerprint in the system, they can add it right there at the front gate. Shouldn't hold up anything any more than processing a new pass would.
Vonni Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 ^ Awesome! Thank you! It would have sucked if after waiting in line to enter the park to just be turned away and directed towards Guest Relations lol!
Stagman Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Went to the park today. Pretty empty but not surprised due to the cold. It even started snowing a bit while I was on the Eagle. Noticed new restraints on the Ninja. The train not in use still had the old worn restraints. They added some rocks to the Highland Fling site to make it look less bare.
prozach626 Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Lol... That's a nice touch with the rocks. Probably land clearing for a RMC... We're stoked about our upcoming trips this summer, but we haven't caught the coaster bug enough this year to go to our park. Seeing all of the cold weather and gray sky pictures hasn't made it anymore enticing, lol. We decided today that we'll probably wait for tee shirt weather for our first trip, or just wait until we go to CP at the end of May and make MF our first coaster of the season.

You get out of here with that entirely reasonable decision.

I wonder what they'll eventually put on Highland Fling's now empty site. The site of the old Harley Quinn Spinsanity (Huss Troika), here at SFOT, is still just a bunch of torn up concrete and dirt. They're supposedly going to build a restaurant on the site. The new Harley Quinn (ABC Rides Tourbillion) is set to open around Memorial Day and will be adjacent to Joker (S&S 4D Free Spin), I'm guessing the new restaurant will open around the same time.
