SFEG new ride

I do believe you are right J.

You mean the sign that says "World's Only Flying Coaster!"

PGA was my home park for 12 years, you can trust me on that one, I watched the entire construction of Stealth thru both seasons.

Well, it is now official everybody.

Check it out here:

It is scheduled to open in late May and it will reach a height of 70ft. I did not know this, I thought it was going to be more like 50ft.

The name just can't be any better.

At SFEG, TFC is coming! :)

Is that the actual name "the flying coaster"? I think that lacks some originallity...

That is exactly what my boss said a couple weeks ago when I asked her what the name was. She was like, "It's going to be called The Flying Coaster, were being real original". The website doesn't show it but the logo for TFC looks kinda cool.

I may be completely out of it, but what is TFC?

I think that name is horrible. I mean, that is probably what the GP would have called it anyway but why not give it a name. I would like to see it be the Bucking Bronco or something since it is blue and orange.

TFC is the intitials for The Flying Coaster. After awhile I got used to its name and it sounds all right with me, it is just unoriginal and unimaginitive. I'm just happy it isn't named after Batman or Superman. And I'm happy that the ride is actually a roller coaster.

Same here, they needed a new roller coaster. While this may not seem like that great of a ride, it is for SFEG. I agree, the name is better than being a super hero or something. I still like the idea of tribute to the Broncos, but I'm not rich and I don't own Six Flags.

Hopefully next year they'll get "The Hyper Coaster", folowed by "The Other Wooden Coaster" and "The Multi-Looper".

A. They don't have room for any real mid size coaster.

B. The name is bad, yes, but at least it is a new ride.

I was just watching 9news. They said the ride was in Germany, but I think that is a mistake on their part. They said the ride was being disasemble so I assume the pictures that have been seen are the actual ride. I saw a glimpse of 7news, and they were showing a simulation of it. 9news said they were gonna have a lot more on it on the 4 clock hour.

I saw the animation on 7news, I was like wow that looks like the Batman Arena. It was a really nice quality animation, maybe six flags will put it on the site.

J.- Did they show it go through the intire ride? I think they will put it on the site, cause there is something that says "video" right under where it says "don;t miss it". But it doesn't work.

From what I saw of it, it looked like the first drop was facing the sidewinder, which means it won;t be directly behind the batman arena, but parrallel with the train tracks? Can anyone confirm this?

Let see, with the present colors and course of the ride, what would you probably call "the Flying Coaster?"

You can hear the laughter, you can hear the mighty roar. From the brickyard down in Indy to the white Chicago shore. It's a rollin', twistin', turnin' and might we both suggest. You get you fanny ridin' on the Cornball Express!

Thanks Cornball, I have been looking for that!
