On August 30, 2012 Six Flags will announce what's new for 2013! In the mean time we've got some clues to help get you through the next 20 days!

In 2013 you'll be packing your bags, for where one door closes, another door opens. What will you bring?

Kingda Ka to become part of the Baboon section of the safari.

Yuck on the behemoth trains. No thanks.

If they replace bizarro with a Wingrider I will be really mad. Wingriders are the lamest coaster to come out of B&M and they've had some pretty forceless rides before. Thankfully green lantern is a used B&M from before they started taming their rides.

So is Bizzaro going to Texas?
I suppose that area would be a good staging area for a guided type safari ride.
It will be interesting to see what they plan for the Safari.
Medusa lost its charm when it became Bizzaro.

WadeJ · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2012, 11:17:03 AM »

I'm not aware of a wing rider coming to the park in 2013 so I wouldn't get to concerned about that.

Ken, I don't know for certain where it would go if it left but SFOT was exactly the same thought I ha as well. The thing is, this management changes their minds way too often so until we see that SFOT is getting a "new" floor less B&M, I'll wait and see.

Btw, besides poor ridership, which is mostly due to location IMO, noise is a constant problem with the ride being so close to the arena.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 11, 2012, 11:26:57 AM »

I wish poor ridership was a problem on my one and only visit. I waited an hr and a half on a wednesday for Bizarro.

I know a Wingrider was in the plans for 2013 2 years ago, but has since been scrapped. Whatever they build, I'm sure it will be decent.

ChuckR · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2012, 09:32:39 PM »

So Medusa could be leaving and no more driving through the Safari next year?

Is it sad that even this isn't motivating me to get to the park this summer?

AV Matt · « **Reply #15 on:** August 13, 2012, 12:18:18 AM »

Move it to Magic Mountain and call it Maercs...

Wait for it...

Edwardo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2012, 01:44:52 PM »

No, move it St Louis and call it Maercs...

Im fine with that
I can only ride it a few times anyway and need earplugs doing so

WadeJ · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2012, 12:26:27 PM »

We'll see what happens in just two weeks. It should be interesting because medusas demise has been talked about for quite some time and then they did the makeover to try restoring popularity. It apparently didn't work. The safari changes have also been talked about for some time and as Rob mentioned above, a wing rider was a real possibility as well and didn't happen.

After the failure of the refurb, I seriously think it's just not worth keeping the ride anymore. It's proven itself that it's only active on the most packed of days, and it sits at such a god awful spot in the park it's amazing they even tried to refurb it. Give it to SFStL, they sure as hell need it a lot more than we do.

If any ride is going in that area the park definitely needs to revise the area and what uses it has. It is in such a remote section of the park that unless you put a hell of a lot of rides there the foot traffic will steadily die over time no matter how big the ride is. Kingda Ka is starting to get that way, too.

Blackhand1001 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2012, 09:43:30 PM »

I do not want a wingrider. They are mediocre and forceless. Please replace bizdusa with something worthwhile. We already have one forceless B&M in the front of the park. Don't want another.

WadeJ · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2012, 09:47:25 PM »

Forceless or not, I'm really looking forward to gatekeeper next year

Kingda ka only seems empty because they finally figured out how to run it at max capacity consistently. It has been a real people eater this year. They are doing a great job.

The Golden Kingdom and Plaza need to be directly connected again.
No tigers, No seals and the cubs have grown up.
That areas calls out to be redone.
