new jersey has the highest lawyers per capita and the highest sueing rate in the country, we have the second highest insurance rates and we also have some of the highest medical bills, too. By those standards, no zipper for SFGA.

Is Tango stil an option to open next season or has it already been removed?

It's probably taken apart for maitenence. don't over-react to it. All of the flats get taken apart for yearly maitenence.

Tango is still there http://www.gadv.com/photogallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=8 look at the bottom right.

B-mac · « **Reply #307 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:31:48 PM »

Well, I've been wrong before. But I do know that the flats get taken apart for yearly maitenence around this time.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #308 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:32:22 PM »

Oh, I would think by now they would take it out.

B-mac · « **Reply #309 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:36:30 PM »

which one, Tango or Twister?

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #310 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:02:39 PM »

mhmmm, BOTH!

Mike13 · « **Reply #311 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:16:30 PM »

It doesn't look like there is really anything going on with Tango at the moment (not hinting at anything) so not sure about what's up.But Twister is just getting a rehab

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #312 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:34:31 PM »

I hate twister. I hope they just tear it down.

B-mac · « **Reply #313 on:** January 19, 2010, 06:06:08 PM »

what's wrong with it. It's a nut-cruncher, but I'm way past that. It also draws a fair crowd during the day.

QFT. It's no big deal.

For those that do not know, QFT means quoted for truth...sort of like megadittos or sumthin'

Okay,so you want them to tear it down,only for them to have ANOTHER open pad/smoking section there?Nice,good to know you care about the park.I don't like Twister for the most part either but I DEFINITELY do not want it to be removed and then have one less flat,and that's something we need desperately.

It cracks me up every time a ride goes down for annuals that people freak out. And while fantasy fling and Spin Miester were perhaps bad examples, even they were taken down many many many times before they finally had to be retired. They follow manufacturer guidelines and many times even take extra preventative measures.

As for Tango, this father of 3 was rather pissed about that last year. It's a great ride for the 2-6 year old crowd because it's a step above the REALLY little kiddie rides and the parents can ride with the kids as well. My hope is that much like Houdini, since it didn't get ripped out, that it still has hope. I can understand their thinking last year and I'd really rather the place keep all of the "open" rides open instead of never knowing which ride would be closed on each visit so hopefully things improved enough that it can make a comeback.

And unless something recently changed, we have nothing to worry about this year in terms of ride removals

. The only exception would be if something physically met its maker and had to be retired but most of the ride collection is in decent shape at this point.

No I did not mean it like that. Tear it down for a better flat. How about a rainbow!

GADVwow · « **Reply #319 on:** January 19, 2010, 09:13:31 PM »

WHY? There are plenty of places to put in other flats, including your Rainbow. The park needs capacity. No ride needs to be gone unless it can no longer be maintained, has safety issues, etc. Remember, every ride had its own fanbase...just because you may not like it doesn't mean there aren't others who love it. There are.

nitrorox1414 · « **Reply #320 on:** January 19, 2010, 09:18:21 PM »

YEs I know we need more flats. IF we get more flats we could even out lines, please the non coaster type people, annd the people that are to short to ride the major coasters. REpaint twister, add a rainbow somewhere.

I would like "ROLLING THUNDER" to leave! That ride is so old and it hurts! lol. I know its a classic ride, but that space could have something better. A darkride maybe?....

GADVwow · « **Reply #322 on:** February 07, 2010, 09:38:42 PM »

Heaven help you if Rich and Sue get hold of you. Or me, for that matter.

Rolling Thunder is a classic wooden coaster (set) that desperately needs taken care of.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #323 on:** February 07, 2010, 10:38:30 PM »

I wasn't a fan of RT either. But it's not the kind of ride you remove.

777theladyinthelake · « **Reply #324 on:** February 07, 2010, 11:51:33 PM »

I guess you're right. RT is a classic ride. I just don't like it cause it hurts. I got on it anyway sometimes. Lol.
