josephcissell Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 ^ I had the same initial thought of it being a Screamin’ Swing, but the space where the video was shot would be tight I think. The only Screamin’ Swing I’ve been on is Barnstormer at Dollywood, which is 81ft tall and very fun. We definitely need more flats, so I would be happy with a Screamin’ Swing if they can make it fit nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delacey26 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Does anyone think that this could be something along the lines of firechaser express at dollywood or maybe an Intamin mega lite, what about a launched roller coaster that dosent use a lot of power or maybe even an el loco that has been customly (if that's a word) sized for the park?

sirspanky53 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 How bout a super loop. (brain drain) in elitch gardens has just got one this year. Its 7 stories tall. Got this clue off screamscape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstephe9 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I like the Aqualoop idea. Wikipedia lists them as about 56ft tall, so I suppose the height range is in the ballpark. I would hope if this was a Hurricane Harbor expansion that it would be more than just a slide or two though. A solid lazy river would be really nice. Agree on the lazy river. Love relaxing in them at parks to cool off!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delacey26 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I really hope and pray it's not what screamscape is predicting it to be. If so I will be very sad and disaapointed. http://www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_over_georgia.htm And here's a link of what the ride will look like... https://www.elitchgardens.com/braindrain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirspanky53 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A super loop doesn't seem sixflags style. But I didn't think they would do hurricane harbor either. I sure hope its not. A screaming swing sounds more fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Ugh I feel bad for any park who gets a Super Loop next year. They look amazing, but the ride experience is one of the worst flat rides in existence. The hang time with the horrible OTSRs is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCF Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I feel this is that careful what you wish for thread. Everyone wished Six Flags would add a thrilling flat ride. "Granted, but it's a super loop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I got to ride a super loop this past year. I thought it was fine. Didn't love it, but I thought it was a fun ride. It's better than some other flat rides I've ridden. I'll gladly take it over a HUSS Top Spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny--I found Fireball at Castle Park (Riverside, CA) to be loads of fun! The OTSRs weren't all that bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlahBlahson Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The Larson Ring of Fire rides are one of my carnival favorites with those big ole' cushy lap bars. But if these are even as good as the looping Starship then that works. Another flat ride is good for the park and it largely replaces wheelie. I only have two hopes: 1. Don't bulldoze all the trees and shade around Acrophobia/Mine Train for this ride. 2. Puhleeeze don't market this as a "new coaster". Give us a break.

The Geek Mojo Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So it looks like the name of the Super Loop will be "Jokers Chaos". Could the teaser been tricking us to believe the Super Loop was going by Acrophobia and the actual location will be in Gotham City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Well - even though I am still "distraught" at the loss of the Wheelie - at least they are putting in a thrilling flat ride. I know people will piss and moan that it isn't the latest face-meltingly-fast-airtime-machine, but I think everyone that has been there can agree that they REALLY needed to work more on their flat collection in the dry-park. I do hope that if it is Joker themed - it goes in Gotham City where it belongs and not over near the Mine Train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I do hope that if it is Joker themed - it goes in Gotham City where it belongs and not over near the Mine Train. Agreed. I suppose I'm an SFOG purist, but that section of the park is so beautiful to me.I feel like any addition near the Mine Train would detract from an area of the park that helps set it apart from other ones in the chain. Though, you will not hear me complain about Acrophobia... As for me, bring on the flats. A well-rounded park is better than a lopsided park.

Flats would be great if they hadn't neglected the coaster collection so much in recent years. With the exception of Deja Vu in 2001 (and we all know how well that turned out), SFOG had been adding coasters every 2-3 years since 1990. But since Goliath in 2006, all we've gotten has been a Eurofighter in 2011, which to me isn't all that great. It's hard to not be jealous of all the other SF parks with launched coasters or RMC creations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look amazing, but the ride experience is one of the worst flat rides in existence. The hang time with the horrible OTSRs is terrible. Yeah, my park is one of those. Not happy at all.

coasterkid124 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have mixed feelings over these Super Loops. They aren't very thrilling and tend to break down a lot. However, they are making a decent return and look impressive. It will be successful and hopefully stand as a good step on the stairway to a new coaster for the future.

Highridin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yeah, that's what I think. Cheap out this year for better things next year. They are saving a ton putting these up at multiple parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her0ofLime Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The name of the ride is confirmed to be Joker's Chaos by Six Flag's shoddy computer skills, leaving a URL out in the open for everyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 SFOG has one of the most well rounded coaster collections you can find, and the really could use more non coaster rides. As long as they don't have to remove something like Crime Wave to build it I'm ok with this addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simaticable Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 A flat ride expansion to Gotham is exactly what I think was needed. I imagine the rides will go where the stadium for the former Batman show is. It would be a definite improvement to an area lacking for so many years.
