Six Flags Updates

Six Flags Great Adventure:

From Screamscape:

2012 - New Flat Ride Package or Medium Thrill Ride - Rumor - (6/24/11) According to the latest rumors, Six Flags Great Adventure definitely seems to be leaning towards adding a Sky Screamer in 2012. While I don’t have a firm lock on the location (ie: a new site or replacing the Parachute tower ride) it does seem that everyone agrees that if SFGAdv gets one, it better be a damn tall ride. How tall exactly? Wouldn’t it be fun to be eye level with Kingda Ka? Just an idea… stay tuned.
(6/14/11) Yesterday we talked about a possible flat ride package in the works for Six Flags Great Adventure, though now I’m told that is just one of a couple of possible plans under consideration. Another plan is to bring in a Sky Screamer style ride (Star Flyer) as we’ve seen already become instant hits at Six Flags St. Louis and Discovery Kingdom this summer. While they could drop this ride in just about anywhere, there is one rumor claiming that they may consider removing the old parachute tower for it as well, but again… nothing is confirmed. Just ideas being thrown around at this point, so stay tuned.

I would rather put SkyScreamer in another place in the park other than the parachutes. I'd rather see expansion than replacement. I also hope there are other flats too. ;)

But on the subject on SkyScreamer, ever since the WindSeekers (Cedar Point, Kings Island, Knott's Berry Farm, and Canada's Wonderland), I'm getting a bit obsessed with Star Flyers and WindSeekers. SkyScreamer would be a wicked addition to SFGAdv! =)

Six Flags Magic Mountain:

From Screamscape:

2012 - New Thrill Ride - Rumor - (6/24/11) Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been sent a few rumors suggesting that Six Flags Magic Mountain may be working on adding their own version of the Sky Screamer (Star Flyer) to the park for 2012, which would be a big crazy with Knott’s putting in Windseeker just to the south. I’m happy to report that Screamscape sources have confirmed that this is a bogus rumor… something is in the works for SFMM for 2012, but not a Sky Screamer.

I don't really think it matters about Star Flyers and WindSeekers being too close. I mean, SFMM and Knott's both have B&M Inverted Coasters: Batman and Silver Bullet.

However, with SkyScreamer out of the rumor mill for SFMM, I will keep my fingers crossed for a really tall drop tower. I actually rode KD's Drop Tower (Intamin Gyro Drop) and I tied it with Dr. Doom as the best drop tower I've ridden. A Gyro Drop would look amazing at SFMM! =D

Six Flags America:

No Iron Wolf for 2012 after all it seems (Screamscape):

2012 - New Attraction - Rumor - (6/16/11) Good news for everyone it seems… as SFGAm’s Guest Services is quickly trying to put out the fire that Iron Wolf could be leaving their park anytime soon. According to letters sent out by the park, Iron Wolf “will be around for your enjoyment for years to come. There is no truth to the rumor that the Iron Wolf will be taken down or moved anytime in the near future.”
So good news for SFGAm and even better news for SFA… which seems to indicate that the new 2012 coaster may be a brand new ride instead of a hand-me down. Stay tuned!

So Iron Wolf is safe... for now. And this gives me new hopes that SFA will get a B&M Floorless or Wing Coaster! =D
