SixFlagsAstroworld Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) I found footage on youtube of SFStL's nighttime laser and firework show: Batman Nights. I think its cool that this park had something like this at one point. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Edited October 29, 2019 by SixFlagsAstroworld
prozach626 Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Go to youtube and hit the 'share' option. There will be a link to copy. Go to TRP and hit the youtu_be button (note the underscore). Paste the link there. At least that's how I do it on my laptop. Thanks for the laser show share, though. I copy and pasted your link into my browser and watched it... And by watched it I mean I scrolled through about 60 seconds. That was a pretty solid ten minutes of the same patterns of green lasers through fog, terrible projections stolen from 5th grade coloring books, and the slowest most boring back yard fireworks setup ever. And it totally kicked ass in 1993! And yeah... Ninja is here to stay. It does't seem to have the forces and intensity that Vortex did. I honestly don't even remember looking at it on my last trip. That whole area might as well not be there for me.
jynx242 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 ^The new trains/restraints really make a huge difference on Ninja Hawk. It still has some of the jerky transitions, but they don't give you a sucker punch to the jaw any more. It would be cook if SFStL would do this on your Ninja - but then it would be yet ANOTHER year where you guys don't get a good new addition.
jamesk25 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Nice view of the changing leaves. While that's a nice view, the back of my mind is saying nope to high time to get down. What do you usually do maintenance on that high up? Are we ever going to get the lights at the top working right on Skyscreamer?
Coastard69 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I still think it's funny how I visited this park twice this season, because they had a new credit. And in true Six Flags fashion, it was closed both times lol.
prozach626 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I saw it running one time. I grabbed a ride just to say I did. The ride broke down immediately after our one train completed the course. It was a 'rare credit' for me and it's my home park... The path interaction is cool, until you realize that it blocks the view of Screamin' Eagle's beautiful structure.
Coastard69 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 ^I mean I'm not a hugh boomerang fan or anything, but it was mad disappointing to have it be down on both visits. Not like coming from Chicago is super easy. Maybe I'll go again when they get something new that actually opens.
prozach626 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 I'd drive 5 hours to ride Screamin' Eagle at night and hammered Boss!
Coastard69 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 ^Too be fair (to be fair) I did get an AMAZING ride on Eagle when I was there earlier this month. Never had a ride that good on it. Boss is boring at best, painful at worst (had both over my two visits this year). American Thunder is hot, and of course Freeze is dope. But if I'm going 5 hours for a coaster it'll be my baby Millennium Force.

Coastard69 Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 ^Will do , thanks a bunch. It would be nice to get the credit.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Not like coming from Chicago is super easy. Yeah, it's been terrible ever since they ripped up I-55. Sucks having to take all those gravel roads now.
Trololzilla Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 As far as not getting good new additions, times...times they be a changing. Is this a tease at some juicy stuff in the pipeline for SFSTL that you can't talk about?
prozach626 Posted October 31, 2019 Posted October 31, 2019 Plans are some updates to the lighting this offseason. PLEASE!
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 Nice view of the changing leaves. While that's a nice view, the back of my mind is saying nope to high time to get down. What do you usually do maintenance on that high up? Are we ever going to get the lights at the top working right on Skyscreamer? I was up there for testing purposes but it gets ridden up every day for inspections. Plans are some updates to the lighting this offseason. If we get LED lights on SkyScreamer like it did back in 2011/2012, that would be the best update in the entirety of 2020
jamesk25 Posted November 2, 2019 Posted November 2, 2019 Nice view of the changing leaves. Plans are some updates to the lighting this offseason. That is great news to hear, I hope this time they can keep it working, I am glad they are getting around to the small things. And the whole thing about Ninja, please Six Flags spend a little extra on new trains for Ninja, it really needs some more love.

gnucksjr Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Photo taken by my son yesterday (11/2)... they're back, and in their original color scheme! Xcalibur cars 11/2/19
prozach626 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 What is the matter with Boomerang? Are the issues always different? Is it age related? I've seen it running once. I'm glad Xcaliber looks like it's going to make a comeback soon. HITP, or next year?

Danrarbc Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Quick reminder our Boomerang was modified during transplantation and the lift systems in particular are going to have next to no part commonality with any others and thus with most replacement parts.
