They should move Superman and put it over the Congo river and re-theme it of course.

Is there room for a Woodie over the Congo river?

Clear out a few trees and you could fit one in there. Trying to keep a great wooded run will probably make or break the roller coaster.

You have some space to throw a woodie (My wish: Gravity Group) back there. The map has the fencing up for Demented Forest, so you can see that even with that, there's some room for part of the coaster outside of Congo, a nice plot of land inside of Congo, and even some on the far side past the access road. With some imagination, you could do a lot there.

This is the first time I've checked the progress in a while, probably since closing day. Looks good so far, and I'm excited to see wat they plan on doing with the entire "area" of the new coaster.

As for getting rid of Superman... I have no problem with it staying, it seems like it pleases the crowds so I would be surprised to see it go. I'm not against another wooden coaster though.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

They should just clone El Toro and mirror it.

There are no problems, you're imagining it.  Like on Coasterbuzz.

Anyone know or heard more????  I heard that the future of Green Lantern is uncertain at this point now.  Apparantly the franchise for both the movie and DC Comics are claiming they never gave Six Flags the permission to use the name "Green Lantern" or "Parallux."  So until the issue is resolved construction might be delayed.

Even if there were a licensing problem (there is not to my knowledge), construction would continue and the ride would be given a different name and theming.  Most of the public would never know, and even fewer would give two hoots.

I have no idea if this is true or not since I haven't heard anything but keep in mind this did happen with the Dark Knight and look at what we have now... A bunch of coasters called The Dark Knight.

Usually they have these problems solved before they even begin to build the coaster. If we are really having that issue then Magic Mountain should be having the same problem. Six Flags has a strong agreement with DC comics and I'm sure they'll have this "problem" solved quickly.

I'm pretty darn sure there isn't a problem and whoever you heard this from has absolutely no clue what they're talking about, but this kind of stuff has happened before. Usually Six Flags has all the licensing issues solved before they go and market it on TV, Facebook and other media outlets.

Even so, It wont hold up the construction...It will just be changed to a different name.

This will also be solved before the ride opens, id bet alot of money on it
