I wanted to add the youtube videos for each of the attractions in the above post, but it will only take one video per post so I will just post the coaster additions at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Fiesta Texas in this post and the next. **Edit: It still won't let me post another one but you can view videos of all the other attractions in the links provided above.

Full Throttle looks amazing. My local Six Flags, Great Adventure, just increased the size of the park by making the safari part of Great Adventure and no longer a separate park/admission. Still, can't help but think Kilimanjaro Safaris when seeing the video they have for this, including the zip line (for an extra fee).

 

[ChristopherSE]

I really want to know more about Black Hole of Doom 4D. The effects sound epic.

 

[jtsalien]

I guess Six Flags got a bulk discount on those Sky Screamers

 

[BJCool]

I'm just glad something new is finally coming to Six Flags White Water that isn't a kiddie splash area. I was hoping for a water coaster but the Typhoon Twister sounds cool.

Honestly, the park needs a top to bottom refurb regarding the cement, the "no-slip" surfaces that hurt people's feet, and a better design overall since the park's aesthetic at the moment is pretty ghetto (the surrounding forest is all the park has going for it).

They must have. Great Adventure got one last year LOL.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I like how they did all the park announcements at once, got the whole community pumped and interested in many parks. Iron Rattler looks great, not too impressed with YOLOcoaster.

 

[sierrak5]

Iron Rattler looks incredible. Full Throttle looks like a lot of fun, but I don't even know what to say about that marketing. YOLO...really?

Agreed on all counts Also can we try some new creative names Six Flags?

Last year we opened Sky Screamer, This year we opened Sky Screamer, Next Year were opening Sky Screamer, 30 seconds later, Next Year were opening Sky Screamer, 30 seconds later, Next Year were opening TEXAS Sky Screamer!!!

 

[TheMackMachine]

I'm not too excited with the Safari Adventures, even though it will be huge for families, but I haven't been Great Adventure in years so next year would be good. And Full Throtle looks awesome, even though it's marketing sucks.

 

[dami]

The Joker is announced at Six Flags Mexico in Mexico relocated from Pandemonium at Discovery Kingdom

 

[Ercus]

I am looking forward to going on Batman backwards this year at SFGreat America

 

[HomerFan]

Anyone ever been to Six Flags over Texas? Goin to Texas in July (I know, will be hot, have a wedding to attend)...any good for a 2 year old?

 

[DeputyAuror]

Homerfan, SFOT isn't too bad for the little ones. The Looney Toones area has plenty of rides with a minimal/no height restriction. Get their early, pack a lunch in your car, and get out before the heat and teenagers swarm the park.

I'll try to get pictures of the Sky Screamer when I'm in the area soon. Not too pleased that this is the replacement we get for the historic Flashback that's been in the park for decades. Flashback is getting a repaint and will be heading to the St Louis park as the "Boomerang"

I have a lot to say about SFMM (99% negative), but Full Throttle does look very cool as a ride and structure. I'm very surprised that they're basically just now starting work on the station and the large entrance/entertainment plaza considering that it was announced in August of last year. I got a shot of the construction (gate wide open, employees don't care, very different to what I'm used to at another park with tons of construction), so I'll update my post with that later. I was a little disappointed it wasn't open yet, but I hadn't been following construction at all and didn't really care. From what I saw, they may be lucky to have this open by August.

Here's the photo. Sorry about the blur from shooting it while I was walking and the filter vignette.

That's just another negative about SFMM and the reason I've skipped them my past two visits to California. I can't u dear stand for the life of me why some SF parks wait until the last minute to open new attractions. SFMM is a year round park have that thing opened by Memorial Day to take advantage of those summer crowds.

 

[maxairmike]

After this visit I would not recommend going unless you either desperately want the coaster credits, or have a SF pass from a park like SFNE where it cost $50 for a season pass. I understand that I went on a day when the attendance probably didn't even break a few thousand (seriously, I could count how many people were at the gate for park open, at 10am, about 35, it was surprisingly pathetic), but there were major issues with the park presentation in general. I suppose I should go start at trip report thread about this...maybe later.

 

[Andy]

How many rides had delayed openings, one train ops with 5-6 min dispatch times, and so on. I'm curious because I enjoy some of Six Flags attractions but would rather go to any other chain due to the worst ops and service imaginable.

Speaking of bad Six Flags upkeep :smiley:
