Ehh, What's Up Doc!


« on: August 05, 2009, 11:54:34 AM »

Since Six Flags announced that for the chain's 50th anniversary in 2011 that big things will happen, I'm curious as to see what people would like to see happen.  Since next year will most likely be quiet as they gear up for 2011, I'll start off by using my post from the "Next Year" topic, and expanding on it.

My wishlist is :

This themed to The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Coaster themed to...something else/

And now for the more reasonable stuff:
THIS by Granny's in the ready-to-go pad (or maybe THIS
Replace Tango with the resurrection of this  Who doesn't love a good breakdance with a great theme, lol.
A Mondial Shake.  This as Catwoman's Whip was one of my favorite flats in SBNO...I mean...SFNO.
Another fave flat from SFNO, the Soriani & Moser Super Loop on Top. This as Lex Luthor's Invertatron was simply awesome!

And with that, let the wishing begin! Feel free to be outlandish, but do us the favor of letting us know when you know you're being unreasonable as well.  Keeps the flames on low...not that we've had a fire.  Afro

The Breakdance where Tango is/was wouldn't be a bad idea, we just have to steal it back from SFoT.

I wouldn't mind bringing this back either,  as long as it's run like the one at SFGAm ..



Those can be so much fun.

Techno Jump is personal favorite flat ride and wouldn't care if every park in the country got one.

I would like to see a Dive coaster in place of Rolling Thunder or GASM. Sorry but these are my least favorite rides and sorry to say but I would like to see these rides go in place of a better ride. Also LOTS of flats and better theming.

 Here is what I want:

An Enterprise in the vacant spot near the Skyway station in the Lakefront
A log cabin themed store at the old Tepee spot, or something close
A hydro flume at the vacant Freefall spot
Speakers added to Nitro (getting a little silly)
New stage events
Replace wiggles world (not the Seaport) with a better flat ride (something like a Shooting Gallery/ Haunted ride thru attraction) getting silly
And better themeing[/font][/color]

I would like the return of more flats . Swings , a jump ride , the bumper cars , a new splash down with a bigger hill rodeo stampede , enterprise any or all of the above . Things that really would be a "War on Lines" . These would also keep the kids that are not yet 54 inches but just over 48 happier.

What is everyone's fascination with Dive Coasters? I'd pick a solid small wooden coaster, or small ride like Maverick, preferably without OTSR's over a Dive Coaster any day of the week (actually come to think of it, anything no Vekoma will do Smiley )

Dive Coasters are made by B&M (same company as Nitro, Medusa yada yada yada) and they have a near vertical drop, which is usually pretty tall. After the drop though, there isn't much to these rides. Very "gimmicky" but the crowds love them.

Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg






Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa





They are very photogenic though.

^ Griffon is fun, but I could see it getting old if it were closer to home. A drop tower would be better.

My list shrinks from year to year...

but unfortunately Rolling Thunder is STILL on it.

I will take anything but a coaster. Actually, a good flat or two and another water ride to replace the ones we took out would be nice.

You can commercial anything you want.

SFGadv does not need any new coasters. They have enough for he next 2 or 3 years.

The correct terminology would be "Market" a new ride.  And yes, you can definitely market a flat ride.  Just ask Lake Compounce, Hershey, Cedar Point, Kings Island and just about every other Six Flags park.

With the current state of the economy and the fact that turnstile clicks are way down this year, you aren't going to see any major coasters next year.  If you do, it's a huge mistake.

Honestly, we could have had two major flats or an insanely awesome drop tower for LESS money than the Bizarro overlay that was done to Medusa so even that is hard to swallow sometimes.  Perhaps Bizarro was enough of a success that it was worthwhile but time will tell in that regard.
