- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- With the announcement of Dr Diabolical's Cliffhanger at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, the conversation about the Six Flags investment strategy has been reignited. What if they started shifting over toward the Cedar Fair model? What would that look like for their parks? This video looks at the possibilities, as well as breaks down this new B&M dive coaster.

So SFFT is my home park, and while I was dreaming of some wild prototype... this is a pretty good fit for the park in a bunch of ways. First, it's nothing like any of the other rides in their lineup. Second, while 150 feet isn't considered THAT tall, it's about the height of the quarry wall, so riders will really feel like they're way up. Third, not only will capacity be decent and downtime minimal (it's B&M, and a model they've got down pat), it's line will be located on the way to Iron Rattler, and having another thrill coaster in that part of the park should help keep lines from getting out of control for either. Fourth, SFFT keeps their B&Ms in pretty good shape, even their B&M invert Goliath which survived New Orleans and Katrina, and I like having a strong relationship with the manufacturer maintained. And finally, putting in this coaster ensures Sea World San Antonio has to innovate for their next ride and can't scoop an Emperor clone for the park.
Respecc my home park as well
same mine too
I agree with all of this. (it's my home park too)
So I'm in Round Rock (Moved over in 2018) what would my home park actually be? XD
Sort of stuck in the middle between SFOT, SFFT, SWSA, and Schlitterbahn New Braunfels.
@@Alovon I think the closest one would be Schlitterbahn, but since it's a waterpark I'd rule it out. You're probably 45 minutes to an hour closer to SFFT than SFOT, and that's 15 minutes closer than SWSA. So... not the best spot.
It's like the SpongeBob episode with the Flying Dutchman, Six Flags will suddenly become cheap again.
I think the park you're missing is Six Flags Mexico. According to the SF Annual Report, it is in the largest metropolitan area of all Six Flags parks, plus the park itself is sort of a destination park (hence their investments over the last years). The park uses a permit to use the land (the permit will expire in 2024, but they'll probably renovate it), and since Aztlan will be opening real soon featuring great new attractions, such as the first flying theater in Latin America, they need to keep investing in that park. I could see a big B&M there rather than Great America, for example.
I really hope they don’t ruin this model by cloning it then give one to every park
I would absolutely prefer if Six Flags went the Cedar Fair route. I rather wait for a quality Coaster or Flat Ride than just get Crappy or Cloned flat rides or coasters every year.
i would be TOTALLY on board with getting more small scale B&M's in more parks, if Six Flags thinks they're worth the investment we could be seeing some amazing rides in the coming future which is great despite the pandemic rocking them pretty bad
A 150ft hyper would make such a difference for the smaller parks and Discovery Kingdom.
I’d love it too. But honestly I’d much rather them team up with Vekoma and get some Blitz’s, or Space Warps.
Great Adventure Lately been getting what Fiesta Texas has been Getting, Fiesta Texas gets a free spin then Great Adventure gets the next in the chain, Fiesta gets the first Raptor, then Great Adventure got the next Raptor in the chain. Great Adventure could get their 6th B&M
Got a point right there!
As my Homepark is great adventure, this is very exciting due to this recent trend
YOU STOLE MY PFP XD
Hopefully. But I don’t think it would happen becuase it’s gonna cost a lot to repair toro
@@nandwproductions1662 “Excpetions Can Be Made” - idk who said that
I really hope Six Flags changes to the cedar fair ideas so we can get quality over quantity. I’m not gonna start expecting B&M Gigas yet but I could see some good stuff in the future.
Everyone: talking about glenwood caverns new coaster
Airtime thrills: DR DIABOLICAL
well, he isn't an "announcement" UA-camr. His analysis goes deeper and his videos take longer to make (as he is really editing it and not just putting the announcement video in the back on a loop). So, he takes longer to react to stuff in the industry
@@TripleTSingt exactly right...i dont like the "OMG NEW RIDE ANNOUNCED" videos the day it comes out along with the other 15 channels that have the same thing. Plus since i work full time i cant throw a video together as quick as some of these guys 😆
@@AirtimeThrills I have a new appreciation for your videos, I mostly stick to theme park vlogs on my coaster channel, those take about an hour to edit and I tried to make a ranking video kinda like you….oh my good that was literally so hard to make, it took so long, you put in so much effort for each video and you make so many of them too, I don’t know how you keep up. I hope people stop roasting you because after figuring out how long it takes to make these video you don’t deserve it.
SFFT is my home park, and don't get me wrong I am hyped for this. I am just confused why it's called "cliff hanger" when it's in the center of the park. Probably because they don't have room on the cliff wall in that part of the park but still.
Apparently to build more rides on the quarry would put to much stress on it? That’s what I’ve heard anyway
Yeah I have heard that the quarry wall isn’t structural sound to add another coaster and because of cost also that’s why they put it right there. They will also have extra money for a awesome queue and plus a/c for the hot summer days. But yes the name is off
i mean it hangs off the edge of the drop, which is kind of like hanging off a cliff. Kinda odd when there is a cliff right there but yeah
@@prakesh2904 it could’ve been called Goliath Cliffhanger?
@@prakesh2904 you think they didnt think of that lol
Huge missed opportunity for Dr Diabolical’s Cliffhanger: having the drop dive off the quarry wall. Cliff hanger is literally in the name of the ride. I feel would make the drop feel more intense since it’s not as tall as the other dive coasters
Honestly suprised they didn’t do that
They cant use the Quarry wall anymore. It’s apparently too unstable so the city wouldn’t allow it and even if it was it would probably be really expensive. Iron Rattler was grandfathered in since the structure was technically there.
While Dr diabolical looks great and all, I'm a lot more excited to see that six flags will begin to work with B&M again. With sfmm being my home park I've always wanted to see B&M giga at the park. And even though there's already goliath I feel like with the variety of the coasters in that park it would be redundant to build any other type of coaster there anyway
I would like to see more b and m flyers added to the chain. Either giving more parks a Superman UF or even giving a smaller park a custom flying coaster. It could really add to a park and be a good step up for smaller parks
flying coasters are too expensive for six flags
The trains alone on B&M Flyers are expensive
Tbh Tatsu cline
Vekoma flying coaster is superior
Yeah the trains themselves are like over 6 million usd or more
Chris: "All of these parks have a hyper."
Me: SFMM barely has a hyper...
by your logic, I305 is barely a giga.
@ No, what I mean is that Goliath sucks.
X2 can be considered a Hyper.
@@DoswarePictures more than Goliath? man enthusiasts can be so gp sometimes.
@ X2 is over 200 feet tall.
I've worked with Jeffrey Siebert and we remain in touch, I'll say this. He's been working on this concept for the past 5 years, so it's not a recent development. I think this is just a rare project for this particular park. Jeffrey is playing the long game and what may seem like new additions every year, it's just pieces of a puzzle, to a bigger plan for the whole park. Everything he touches turns to gold. Jeffrey does amazing with the numbers at Fiesta Texas and attendance. He brought back so many wonderful shows and mardi gras parade, laser lights and projection screen immersive fireworks display, the best fright fest I've ever experienced and I could go on. He brings people in and back, year round. That park is well maintained and structured, so the company will never tell him no, lol...
I’m pumped when this will come out! Even though it’s only 150ft drop, I think it can be up there with Yukon Striker and ValravN
“Not everyone gets something new each year.” We in Michigan know this all too well 😔
Those Darn Ohio folk.
I really REALLY hope for your sakes that Cedar Fair doesn’t pull a Geagua Lake on Michigan Adventure
@@kandikidzora the reason they won’t is because Michigan’s Adventure is still a great money maker because of its elite water park. The water park makes enough people show up so they don’t need to add anything to the main park just the occasional new small flat ride for kids. Most of the investments are in that water park
Its amazing just how neglected MA is compared to the other lower tier parks
@@AirtimeThrills exactly. Like I’d even take a relocated Vortex from Carowinds at this point just so we get SOMETHING
It's still weird to think Fiesta is getting an B&M dive
It’s a surprise, but a welcome one
fiesta texas is in the san antonio/austin metro, and it’s the fastest growing metro in the US
@@harkerdavies4280 yup, as an Austin local my whole life I can confirm it was far less crowded here even just 10 years ago.
@@harkerdavies4280 what still blows my mind though is what an afterthought Over Texas is to them when it's also in one of the top 5 growing metro areas, already the 4th biggest meteo area in the US, and the park, based on even Chris's numbers, is the 4th best attended park in the chain. And we get crap. 60th anniversary and we were gonna get a water coaster that wasn't even bought for us but oh wait it's not even opening this year, and we just found out the big 2022 attraction will be a shoddy Pirates of the Caribbean knock off disguised as nostalgia that they won't even maintain more than maybe 2 years. It's embarassing.
@@nicholasrainone1647 You would think that having the company HQ down the street would help the park.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be too upset with a change in direction on chain wide investments since it would mean more focus on quality. Of course my home park falls into the lower tier, but over the last few years the reception and quality has gotten much better, and that makes it more worthwhile in the end. (Still wouldn’t mind a new coaster at some point.)
if they did six flags would see no use in their smaller parks, but it would be great for their bigger parks especially from an enthusiast stand point but not really from gp
what park u at?
@@MrGoldMan that really isn’t an excuse not to clean up the parks. Yes, people go to a park for the rides, but if half those rides aren’t open, and the parks are run down, then what’s the point in adding something else to the mess?
@@NortheasternP.T.S. The “best” Six Flags park according to Airtime Thrills.
(It’s in my profile pic)
@@ItsSiebay lol Six Flags America?
I hope the next direction six flags goes is with the new vekomas. They already work with SnS who is their sister company and getting them in America before cedar fair could be a big boon for the chain.
"What Their Newest Coaster Could Tell Us": They might get a Zamperla Thunderbolt next. They already got a coaster with a stupid number of seats per row already, they might get another...
The thunderbolt models are actually pretty good. The zero g roll is well done, there’s hang time on the loop, the dive loop is forceful, and the corkscrew has the second best whip on a coaster I’ve been on, behind i305. And the ejector is fantastic
It wouldnt surprise me to see a thunderbolt at some point soon. Ive been kicking that model around for different parks. Compact (at least in width), thrilling, and they work with Zamperla a lot
Idc what yall say but Magic Mountain can still fit a giga. The station can start at Deja Vu and turn to the right or left depending on which route they want and do an out and back layout over the outside road.
They might have more room if they decide to remove Superman
@@F7PRO37 b&m dive off the top of superman...
@@notffrenchy nah b&m dive off the mountain if they can fit it
I think it would be cool to see some more small scale, original B&Ms at sf parks. Most sf B&Ms are clones or near clones, but seeing some original layouts would be cool.
To be honest i can see the see worlds coasters being delayed again and see this open before emperor.
I’m just happy that six flags is working with b&m
i think a park getting something new every year isn’t that smart … you get more quality. i don’t think it’s because of the pandemic.. i think the new ceo just has better plans.
I hope youre right
I really hope La Ronde see's some more investment. I just had my first visit there this year, and even in the rain, and I had fun. A new stand out coaster in the next 5 years would be great since they have lost a couple of their older ones.
Imagine an s&s free spin, but with an actual layout. That would be insane
X2?
@@MsKimba18 x2 has controlled spin, so that’s different. Although a free spin on the 200 foot scale would be cool
ill be honest i dont think that cedar fair's buisness model is more successful than six flag's is. cedar fair directs their attention to one or two parks a year, and thats really their only source of revenue. so when something like covid happens and cedar fair has to close off their higher attended parks like canadas wonderland and knotts berry farm for the majority of the year they lose a lot of revenue they would be getting on a normal year. six flags spreads their wealth and you could argue that some of their smaller parks bring in a similar amount of revenue as their larger parks, at least compared to cedar fair. thats probably why cedar fair wont add anything major this or next year but six flags is here adding dive coasters and rmc raptors. a lot of people consider six flags the discount chain but this year id argue the opposite
Wonder if this will change because Six Flags just changed their CEO
Y’all are discussing roller coaster like the Geneva convention
Fiesta Texas gets a brand new B&M and an RMC, meanwhile up the road at SFOT all we can get is a few carnival rides and a wet halfpipe that won't even open 🙄
I think six flags is going to start to value rides that have good uptime and are reliable. This will make their investments better over time and they can keep pumping people through the queue.
Baron 1898 is a great attraction, but it has theming that SFFT is not going to get. I wish 6 Flags would spend just a little more money to make great attractions instead of just good rides.
Since when does Six Flags have the pockets for a B&M
Not in a while, this is just a cheap model.
@@DoswarePictures true, but this was a big surprise
Great Adventure can remove green lantern, use that plot of land for west Coaster racers style of coaster and theme it to the Giants/Eagles
Good idea
The second largest park in the word needs MORE coasters…not less. Let Green Lantern be and build more elsewhere.
@@Cheezbat yeah but most of the park is used for the Safari. There will be lots of complaints if they remove the grasslands.
I would love more B&Ms. I think a B&M at Over Texas would be good as they only have 1.
Where was six flags America, ya missed one
I got to meet Mike Spanos. Very quiet dude
Six Flags St. Louis is my home park and its embarsssing garbage at this point.
I think that the cedar fair model would be good for six flags. It would allow them to put in better rides than rides like free spins. While they may be fun they aren't as good as most of the rides found in cedar fair parks.
Six Flags Over Georgia has a solid collection of B&M's (just went there yesterday) and a small-scale Dive Coaster like Dr. Diabolical would be pretty cool, fitting over where the falls ride was taken out. I would personally love to see a powerful launch coaster there, or maybe a Raptor, but a more expensive coaster that's a B&M could be cool. If they bring back Intamin, I'd love to get a blitz/accelerator type coaster. That would make Over Georgia's lineup even better! We'll see which parks get chosen though, but I thing SFOG may be one for 2022 because of their decision to finally remove Splashwater Falls that's been sitting there forever
Watch theme park predictions new video he has a great idea about a dive coaster.
I’m not sure if Six Flags would want to do that since it will cause the Great Adventure B&M record to be tied.
Over Georgia already has a dive coaster too. A wing coaster on the other hand, that would be interesting.
@@stevenstice6683 technically it’s not a dive coaster since it doesn’t have a holding brake. It was going to, but it didn’t. Why did Knott’s use DDD as a comparison when announcing Hangtime.
@@DoswarePictures Fair point. I think I was focusing too much on the vertical drop part, that I forgot it had no holding brake.
And around 20 years to work with Girsh lower
I’m glad SFFT is only a 4 drive from Dallas. If SF can’t do anything with SFOT(New Aquaman, woohoo😡), at least I can drive to a park that SF cares about
Well the truth is that San Antonio has SeaWorld and Fiesta Texas, while Dallas only has SFOT. The reason why SFOT received less coasters and more crappy rides because of lack of competition.
Hey you guys are getting a ‘new’ dark boat ride next year too! 2 rides in one year for SFOT is pretty good.
I believe that Six Flags will start working with B&M and other more expensive ride manufacturers again, but not as often as they did pre-bankruptcy. They might splurge for a B&M or a Intamin or a Mack for one park one year, and then wait a year or two to fill the coffers then splurge on another ride from them for another park.
>calls the coaster Cliffhanger
>puts the coaster nowhere near the cliff
Interesting move
Also thanks for the Valleyfair shoutout by showing us at the mention of parks with no updates lol
Video idea: best and worst coaster at each chain park
so do like every Six Flags park, Cedar Fair, Busch Gardens, Sea World.
now that six flags is being more smarter with their purchases. now i wonder who will be the first park to get the axis coaster lmfao
We probably won’t see one in 2022.
Wait...how did six flags charge you 18 bucks a month without providing the service? Obviously the park was closed...
IMHO, I think they could be moving it to a "Tick Tock" model yearly.
Some years they focus on giving some/one park a big ride.
Other years they give all parks smaller rides/clones.
The same amount of money spent overall per year (the money for putting a B&M Giga in one park could be used to put RMC Raptors or RMC all the woodies left in the chain pretty much).
While not overly sacrificing on the SF-Formula for support and importantly, price.
Cedar Fair more or less leaves most other parks without anything until they add a big thing to it, and even then they only add big things to their big parks.
SF's "Everyone is guaranteed something" model was one of the things that I feel put it chain-wise ahead of CF, as while the highs of the parks are lower versus CF's (It would take upending or building a brand new park-like a Six-Flags Austin or something to even have a shot of matching Cedar Point or King's Island).
So that's why I feel if they go on a alternating pattern between the "Everyone guaranteed" and "Focus Year" format per-year, it would likely be best.
One year they give SF-MM a B&M giga and the rest of the parks get nothing, then the next 2 years all parks get smaller stuff or clones (No clones of the big rides unless on the off chance during a big ride year or if the cost of making a clone is surprisingly low), then the year after that they pick a higher-ranking park to get a big ride again.
Although I will say, SFFT may be the outlier as it is their test park so they more or less may break the trend every now and then, getting a midde-class ride or a smaller prototype during a "Big Ride" year sometimes if the big-ride isn't going to their park already.
I don't know why people are hating on it so much, its a major B&M coaster.
They were expecting an Axis.
@@DoswarePictures yeah, but six flags is working with B&M and its still a dive with a 95 degree drop
@@pacevoez1929 well Fiesta Texas has recently been known as a testing ground for new rides (first inverting I-Box, first S&S Free Spin, first Raptor) and I guess this is also innovative for being the chain’s first dive and first B&M with a beyond vertical drop, but after that it’s just your typical dive coaster.
I believe that Six Flags will shy away from their larger parks so that their smaller parks can get something. Cedar Fair has been doing this, and I'm predicting that cedar fair will give some large coasters to their smaller parks in the next 2-3 years.
I agree, most of the smaller parks have so much land, its sad to not see it used.
What you said is actually the complete opposite, six flags has been treating their smaller parks well in terms of additions while cedar fair has done little to nothing other then making the parks look pretty at least
Michigan's adventure would be a great place for an rmc single rail. theyre great rides, dont cost that much and provides something new. its a no brainer win win proposition
I like that idea but it’s just not a smart investment. For a company like six flags they will probably add big investment rides to their more popular parks in big areas to guarantee success. If they made a big investment in their small parks it just wouldn’t be smart since they might not make enough money to build another one. Yea the enthusiasts and the theme park junkies may like it but if they add a big ride to small park in a small area it just wouldn’t succeed (unless for some reason that park got a boost of popularity). when six flags starts making more money from these big investments then they would probably start adding big rides to their small parks.
Pls let it be worlds of fun
A new hyper in St. Louis would be so awesome.
"90s, six flags was dumb" Yeah well, bud they're still stupid half the time lmao.
I’m really curious if this was just a troll by six flags making us coaster enthusiasts hyped that six flags is working with B&M again or if they are gonna continue adding B&Ms and only add to a few parks every year or if maybe they are gonna go bankrupt again idk but there are millions of different outcomes that can come from this coaster
Maybe they will add a B&M in 2032.
@@DoswarePictures lol probably
Six flags would be better if they improved employee training. Slow and very inefficient.
Anyone else notice that flying phone? 9:17
I also don’t understand why your acting like this dive coaster is completely normal and actually below average , it’s 95 degrees lol
I much prefer the originality and quality of Cedar Fair parks and I would love Six Flags to break from its clone streak and have a similar model to them. Also giving its parks the love and care that Cedar Fair does on little things (fresh paint, new walkways, etc). Will be a win win.
Hello
I’d be very happy if Six Flags switched to the Cedar Fair model!
By the way, Great Adventure is slightly closer to Philadelphia than it is to New York. It serves both metros, but I’m a biased south Jerseyan lol
It's an encouraging sign that Six Flags may get some decent coasters into the top tier parks. I think this will be the 5th best coaster in Fiesta Texas for my taste.
I think that airtime hill will be wicked for the split second it lasts for, assuming the peak is as sharp as it looks in the animation. It just looks really pointy, so I'm expecting reports of crazy ejector, but overall a weak hill because it'll be so short lived, and certainly not Zippin' Pippin' strong.
My thoughts on DDDC.... 😕. Whatever. Unoriginal. It'll do well for them. Typical six flags in every way. Including having crappy names for their rides. That said, if SFSL picked up any new custom stelk coaster even close id be thrilled. It's not bad or good though considering Fiesta is a place I thought they'd wanna go bigger. But for Six Flags this is bigger so...meh.
9:58 If intamin comes back to six flags, I will inundate their email for a Blitz coaster at SFOT
SFMM needs to sell Scream, Viper, and The Riddler and put in something MASSIVE like a Giga, or maybe wait for the T-rex. We need quality over quantity. We have too many lame rides
Idk what's gonna happen, but hopefully SFMM (my home park) gets a B M Giga to replace Goliath or Viper. I don't hate Goliath (unlike most people), but I could see why people do hate it. Viper on the other hand is my most despised coaster as of right now. I cannot stand Viper! I bang my head so much on it! But hopefully, it will be replaced soon.
too bad we haven't been able to experience Emperor yet but don't necessarily knock the shorter B&M divers as i was not expecting a big punch from Efteling's Baron 1898, but it definitely overdelivered
I hate the name due to the ride's location. The ride should have people hanging OFF THE CLIFF!!!
My immediate thought was, if Six Flags looks at Over Texas right now, we will shout, EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas. I do hope OT manages to snag something to grab our attention because the powersplash ain't doing it for me! I honestly don't even think of it as a coaster! O.O
I think six flags would be more likely to relocate existing rides an coasters to other parks to make room. Great Escape has benefited from this in the past and even though relocated received 5 coasters from 97-05 with a mix of family and thrill and on kiddie coaster. And when Astroland closed their SLC was sent to great Escape and then the 07 recession hit. Also before this time six flags brought in justice league and Loony Toons to the park. I think had the 07 recession not hit Great escape would be a low mid tier park.
cliffhanger not on the quarry wall, missed opportunity.
As somebody who's home park is Frontier City, in my personal opinion, if this is how Six Flags wants to go, I sort of wish they would let our park go. I doubt we do much for the brand in the first place.
B&M coasters are boring repetitive trash. What does SF Qiddiya and Falcon’s Flight mean for the rest of the industry is a far more important question
I would say Cedar Fair actually underprices things, most notably on their Fast Lane Plus at Cedar Point if you consider the actual demand. Cedar Fair keeps putting these new thrilling coasters at Cedar Point because coaster fanboys want them put there, even though there's no real land to expand. Most of their other parks do, yet they constantly get stiffed on any new coasters.
I think that these small dive coasters could be great for the smaller parks! I was gonna say that gerstlauer could also make them but I remembered their history with SF
The coaster-addicted Six Flags chain is building yet another unnecessary coaster, probably at the cost of non-coaster rides that give people who *aren't* coaster junkies a reason to go. What a shock.
I hope it falls apart.
Quality over quantity--Can you please explain that to Energylandia?
six flags should start working on theming area's and making them nicer for all to enjoy. This way them doing smaller spending's here and there vs big spendings on new smaller rides rides, this way they can build up their funds and make bigger purchase's for bigger rides.
Would like to see Great Adventure get some crazy rides again.
Literally just got Jersey Devil...Cyborg is crazy...I do hope we can get a dive machine, maybe it can just replace green lantern. And we could use a different launch coaster like a West Coast Racers but faster type and a GCI. They should also just i-box or topper track el toro, not make a ton of changes but add in an inversion or two, that thing is in need of some serious work.
My home park is six flags Darien lake we got a new coaster back in 2018 and that’s the tantrum and that is probably the best ride we have idk what our second newest ride is but ya
I’ve only been to 3 six flags parks, but if they ever adopt the cedar fair model then they should really make an effort to revamp the food at nearly every park, I’d rather see that than a small kids addition at any of my local parks because the food is always awful. I mean seriously, what is enjoyable to eat at great adventure? That’s what they can do to every park on down years
I do not know why almost all UA-cam channels that are dedicated to theme parks, and roller coasters, complain about the "clones," and I say this because not all people can travel to visit other theme parks and can only go to their home park, so it's the only way that people can enjoy the attractions that are in other parks, and it is through the clones. It is good that all of you can visit other parks in the world, but others cannot do it.
I think at this point sfstl is going to lose more rides than gain. They lost 2, they still have log flumes and raging rivers which have to be on the short list and are all in separate areas, so they are not going to make space for anything of value. The last hopes I have is that they attempt to make it a woodie park to compete with silver dollar city and Dollywood. I think more realistically is that your watching a bottom tier park implode and prepare for a closing
I hope this coaster has some good theming in the queue. I'd really love it if the coaster started in a show building with a dark ride scene before the lift hill like Baron 1898. I know that would be too much to ask for Six Flags. But if the queue is elaborate then that would be a good sign for the chain. And the chain working with B&M is definitely a good sign.
I think SFFT is going this route now. They talked about the story explained in the queue. They also are building an indoor queue for Poltergeist that will have special effects.
Weird how six flags gets a B&M and kings dominion gets a S&S 4D free spin
That name for the dive coaster is such a stupid name 🙄 no one's gonna call it by that long ass name...
Last time i went to Ki(like 15 years ago) there was no stunt coaster in the center of the park. and with vortex gone it looks so different 2:25
Well thiss looks like one of the most themed dives and the most steepest and hopefully the most airtime
I think the best idea is not giving evry park something new but however doing an every other year addition and the maybe yearly at parks that draw more attendance.
I feel like it’s gonna be another one and done situation like x flight, but after what you said I think it’s likely
With the great escape being my home park i don’t know how I feel
F*** Spanos.
(Oh sorry, wrong channel.)
This is my prediction
let’s say they both have a budget of 65 million for the dry park expansions. Cedar fair gets a massive giga and a massive multi launch each for 30 and 25 mil. Then a 5 mil flat ride and 5 mil park improvements. Six flags instead will get 1 mini dive, a s&s custom launch, and a RMC raptor for 13 mil, 15 mil, and then 11 mil. Plus 7 flat rides by zamperla and s&s for like 3 mil each like they’ve been doing. That’s 60 mil so another 5 left for park improvements to parks that didn’t get anything. They can spend the same amount of money (six flags has more parks so even with cheaper tickets they can spend a similar amount) sf and cedar fair will still be super different, but it’s not like sf is just getting 10 3 mil flats and 5 6 mil free spins with 5 mil park improvements. That’s how sf used to spend that 65 mil
I think that’s how they’ll do it. Actually I hope that’s how they do it cuz that’s be the best option in my opinion. And based on the cost of maxx force and ddc it seams they may be going that route
The ride you showed right before @1:55 IS a flat ride.
Can't wait for my home park to get more rides mine is great adventure
not a fan of the theme, its too original. i wish they could retheme it to joker or goliath…
B&M for Six Flags Mexico, be the first B&M in Latinamerica
5:58 EXCUSE ME!!? -Woodstock Express
i love the logo for this coaster, as a big fan of plague doctors i need this logo on something!
I know the ride is actually Dr Diabolical's Cliffhanger, but I will still call it SCP-049-FT
