Title: Medusa to get a Face-Lift 2009!!
Post by: NJACERep on October 23, 2008, 05:14:40 PM
Well, it's official. Looks like the "Spider of Doom" really did mean something! It's not known if the name Medusa will be retained starting next year but it doesn't appear it will. See the press release. I have some really fond memories of my favorite steel coaster at SFGAd, from the puking frat/sorority kids at the media event to getting paid to ride for a Canon print ad shoot! Medusa is also one of my most ridden coasters anywhere. I look forward to whatever the park has in store for her. Should be exciting!  ;D

Six Flags Great Adventure Announces
New Attraction for 2009 Season


October 23, 2008 ? Jackson, NJ ? Six Flags Great Adventure, recognized for its award-winning collection of thrill rides, today unveiled plans to dramatically transform the world?s first floorless, looping coaster, Medusa.  The Medusa redesign will deliver a multi-sensory ride experience with all-new thematics and innovative, state-of-the-art visual, audio and sensory effects launching it into another dimension of thrills and excitement.

?Since it opened in 1999 as the world?s first floorless coaster, Medusa has been a fan favorite,? said Mark Kane, Six Flags Great Adventure Park President.  ?This redesign will take one of the park?s most popular attractions to the next level.  A similar transformation of the X2 coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Los Angeles has received widespread acclaim and we expect the relaunch of this ride to shatter that response.  It will be a must-ride experience.?

Six Flags Great Adventure continues to push the envelope - going far beyond traditional coasters to offer thrill seekers the exhilaration of a roller coaster combined with unique storytelling and high tech elements incorporating fire, fog, water and precisely orchestrated audio production designed to assault the senses for a world class ?show? on a roller coaster.

Unlike traditional coasters, Medusa trains are floorless, giving riders the sensation of flying as their feet dangle above the track.  The B&M coaster is one of 13 coasters at Six Flags Great Adventure and has delivered more than 9 million rides since its debut.  Guests can take advantage of the last chance to experience Medusa?s original Greek mythology theme during the remaining days of Fright Fest.  Compelling details of Medusa?s multi-dimensional ride transformation will be revealed as Spring 2009 draws near.

Guests can experience all that Six Flags Great Adventure has to offer all season long with a 2009 Season Pass.  A Season Pass offers guests unlimited visits to the theme park and Wild Safari and pays for itself in less than two visits.  When purchasing a Season Pass, guests receive a coupon book featuring more than $300 in special offers including free concerts and five Bring-A-Friend-Free tickets for selected days.  A Season Pass can be used at all Six Flags Theme Parks throughout the country and is available for purchase online at Sixflags.com/greatadventure for only $84.99.  Guests who buy a 2009 Season Pass now can use it the remainder of the 2008 season to experience all the thrills and chills of Fright Fest.

I thought there were no new coasters for several years?
Nice to see Medusa will be getting some attention.
Bring on those flame throwers.!!

Well at least people will stop complaining about it needing a paint job.  I'm all for breathing new life into existing rides so hopefully this gives good results and is well received.

Hopefully this comes with a revival of Frontier Adventures. I'm no fan of Medusa, but better it gets X'd than Nitro!


Oh yeah, ADscape can kiss my donkey!  ;)

Its about time they gave this ride a face lift. They really should add a flat or two somewhere in that location to bring some more guests to that side of the park.

Dan just cant seem to let go of 1980's GA, just cant do it :P

Yes, this ride does indeed need a paintjob! Finally!

Now, does this retheme mean its going to be called Medusa2 or something else?

wow. I don't get it. I don't want to get anyone upset, but so far this seems like a big waste of Six Flags' money.

Post by: rjholla2003 on October 24, 2008, 12:23:07 AM
Medusa is a solid ride, but it's popularity has waned in recent years.  A refurbishment such as this will not only re-energize the ride, but provide a sense of "What's next" for people, provided they do a good job with it.  Simply painting rides gives the park a new, refreshed look and feel, adds confidence to the guest that you're in a place that's well maintained, and allows a little more mental freedom and ease to enjoy yourself.  A makeover like this goes above and beyond in that category.

Title: Re: Medusa to get a Face-Lift 2009!!
Post by: rjholla2003 on October 24, 2008, 11:02:23 AM
The dip in popularity on a ride with a good reputation for providing a great experience for the guests was probably the motivation behind the decision to revamp it versus Nitro or Batman the Ride (Which would be AWESOME!)
Title: Re: Medusa to get a Face-Lift 2009!!
Post by: Dubya91 on October 25, 2008, 12:08:59 AM
Simply put, People judge books by their covers, the ride is good, but it looks bad when its rusting

Post by: jglonek on October 25, 2008, 10:02:39 AM
Let's just hope that the bridge is re-opened next year. Because the ride could be the most amazing thing in the world, but if I have to walk down a dead-end Frontier Adventures to get to it that won't happen too often.

Post by: Steve on November 02, 2008, 11:36:29 PM
What new paint colors? The supports weren't even touched yet. The blue is probably a primer for a darker color.

The side rails when going back into the station were also painted.

Maybe as far as the paint job goes but the rest will be drastically different ;)

I just received what has to be one of the most odd packages ever from a theme park.  I got a package from Jimmy Olsen (even the return address label was unique) that contained a letter, the same newspaper that other people here have seen and a flash drive.  Yes, they mailed me a real flash drive.  I'm shocked it survived the postal service machines!

On the drive were two video files which I'll attempt to attach here :)
Title: Re: Medusa to get a Face-Lift 2009!!
Post by: WadeJ on March 04, 2009, 01:57:37 PM
Part two of the video is below along with a copy of the letter:

Quote
Hi!

Jimmy Olsen here.  Usually I'm out taking photos of Superman, but right now I've got somebody else on my mind - Lex Luthor.

I've uncovered his evil plan to install brainwashing devices on two rollercoasters - Superman: Ride of steel and Medusa.  I know that sounds absurd, but it's true.  I've made contact with a source inside LexCorp that confirms the details of the plan.

Now, I'm working with people all over the country to create what I've been calling an "anti-brainwashing beam."

I am contacting you because I know you have influence within the community.  Included in the package is a newspaper article which began my suspicions, a flash drive of my videos revealing Lex Luthor's plan, and a hardhat revealing LexCorp's connection to the company transforming the coasters.

If you would like more info, check my site out at www.jimmystruth2power.com (http://www.jimmystruth2power.com)

Thanks!

Jimmy

What do you guys think of all this?

Btw - you need quicktime to view the videos...

On the blueprints picture, you can clearly see what looks to be flamethrowers and it looks like something being done to the corkscrews area and the helix out of the MCBR.

Oh I forgot, You should all come out to see northern burlingtons (my school) musical on april 2,3,and 4. I won't expect anyone to come on the fourth. It's at the new north hanover upper elementary school. We are performing footloose. I will try to get the show times .8)

I was thinking the cobra roll would be a good spot for the flame throwers spectator-wise, but I guess the dive loop is a safer location that still offers visibility from the queue. Anybody have any idea what the other effects are? What I'm most looking forward to is the on-board speakers, that will be the deal maker or breaker for me I think, so I can't wait to see those and hear what soundtrack they choose.

Looks like there's going to be something over by the corkscrews.  I'm guessing it involves fire because its drawn in orange.

As some
I was thinking the cobra roll would be a good spot for the flame throwers spectator-wise, but I guess the dive loop is a safer location that still offers visibility from the queue. Anybody have any idea what the other effects are? What I'm most looking forward to is the on-board speakers, that will be the deal maker or breaker for me I think, so I can't wait to see those and hear what soundtrack they choose.

As someone who has ridden X2, you definitely do not want to have those flame throwers anywhere close to spectators. They are freaking hot and the temperature can be felt in all directions of the first blast.

Can you imagine walking down the entrance to Medusa under the sign with flames shooting up on both sides? That'd be GREAT!

So what else do you guys think is going to happen with this ride? I assume we're getting the same new train cars like Superman with speakers on them?

Speculate away!

^Sarcasm . I think it's his way of saying we are allowed to have FUN and say stuff like ....

Medusa will have midnight purple trains with pink polka dots.
It now features a splash down.
The trains will now shoot flames from the back as well.
More flames in the Cobra roll. Make sure you get an inside seat !
You need to wear an ipod now.  They saved money by not including the speakers on the train.
No more restraints, just Velcro suits and seats.
They removed a section of the track. This way the train can fly like a superhero.
The laser guns should be ready by opening day.
But most of all,  Dan you should like this, They are almost finished with the building that will enclose Medusa.

With all the money the park made last season, maybe FUN did buy it ?   ;)

So what you're proposing is that Lex Luthor is retheming Medusa as "PETA: The Ride"?  It's like "Old-School carousel" meets "New-School roller coaster", where brass rings are replaced with baboons, and instead of throwing them at targets like the rings, one is encouraged to hold on to them and liberate them from the Safari?  Sweet!

It's upside-down inverted coaster, Matt. You ride with your head towards the ground. Loading will take a while. People will be sliding out of the harnesses until they get the hang of it. People will have to do a handstand and put one leg at a time into the ankle restraints.

Bubba, I actually had a guests that visits the park often say that he didn't care for the transformation unless they could make the lightning effect happen during the ride.  Because I actually have a decent rapport built up with him since I first met him during El Toro's media day, and have seem him several times a season (always by El Toro! LOL), I was asking him what's wrong with making a ride more like a show?  In the end he still thinks that SF ruined both rides, but he at least was going to ride both Bizarros before casting them off permanently.  I have a feeling he'll eat his words though, LOL.

You have the shields, plus the prop fly-throughs, and the auger.  Headchoppers galore!

For those of you that were wondering, the Auger is now up and in place. I do not have any pictures of it but it is there and it is fairly large.

The blue wagon now has square wheels and it looked like there was a horse of some sort near the entrance.

 The Bluprint is in the pics. on Seetheride.com. I will be at the Park Friday morning, I will get some more shot's of the week's progress, I am sure there has been alot done this week with the nice Weather. And one very cool thing that I did not get ant shot's of was the "backside" of the Bizarro sign, it say's "I'm Your Hero Now" With a picture of the Bizarre one. You can see it from The Runaway Train.

 SFNEOnline has a video of the Shield Tunnel's LED's lit, and it is AWESOME!!! It is in their Bizarro Thread, from a YouTube Video.

The LED shields do indeed look nice (even during the day).
They really should have placed our shields closer to the entrance or queue.
I can't wait to meet the Auger of Doom.

^I agree the Shields would have looked great right after the Zero-g and before the cobra roll. They will still be awesome at the the bottom of the drop though.

I wonder how they are goingto get that auger of doom spinning.  Thats a big object to spin in such little space.

This is actually looking good. I am officially excited to ride this now, not that I wasn't already.
