SFGAm Impulse

Do you think that this new impulse will be Superman themed?


-------------
Six Flags Great America #1 Park!!!

I think that the impulse will be themed to one of Batman's nemeses, changing Yankee Harbor to Gotham City. Superman will be brought into the park in 2003 in the form of a floorless, behind Orleans Pizza.

Any clue if we will see the Cajuan Cliffhanger (rotor) taken out? (since its accident left it non operating the remainder of last year?)

Since it is in the same section as B:TR, I'd think it would be themed to one of Batmans enimies(Riddler, Two Face, Mr. Freeze) or possibly Robin. I heard the twisting spike would be over water, I think it would be cooler to the other spike over water, the brake holds you and you drop straight down toward the water, but either way.

Well let's make a quick list of Batman's enimies.
#1 Riddler
#2 Mr. Freeze
#3 Catwomen
#4 Pengiun
#5 Two Face
#6 Poison Ivy
#7 Joker

Two Face Sounds good to me. Seeing as how there are two spikes, one vertical and one twisting. *** This post was edited by Steel Phantom 1991-2000 on 12/17/2000. ***

I heard that both of the spikes would be located over the water which would make things interesting. I have a strange feeling that if they decided to put the straight spike over the water a lot of guests items would end up in the water. Trust me on this, as a X employee this will be bound to happen.

yeah if this ride were going to be batman enemy-themed, my bet goes for two face. think about it. youre going TWO directions. I'm not saying im positive, just my guess.

I dunno I still think they might keep it Superman, but Riddler or Pengiun would be cool cus it would be a first, not for Riddler though.

It might just be me, but a short little fat man with a pointed nose who smokes doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart.

LOL!!!!! Steel Phantom! You just gave me the biggest laugh of the day.

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you've been here before? Six Flags Magic Mountain 2001...

I'm pretty sure it'll be Superman:Ultimate Escape. Every report I've read so far indicates so.

You build it, I'll ride it

yo know RollrCoastr00 might have a point. The park could just put a fake penguin on the Yankee clipper area and call it a day.

McNeil the trains don't face both ways that is the Invertigo that does that. These are your standard trains all facing forward. The Riddler would be pretty cool or how about just a standard name that isn't associated with any superhero or villian.

Um what about POISON IVY? The track is TWISTED like ivy on one end isn't it? I think it would be cool to theme the track like a piece of ivy. Maybe get some fake leaves and put it on it.

If it has to be Batman themed, i have to agree with Dustijn and go with Poison Ivy's Twisted Train. It could be Purple with green track, kinda like Joker's Jinx. As for Superman, I just dont really see *anywhere* that his theming could be pulled off without ruining the feel of the park. Anyway, I still think they should have put the ride in Orleans Place and called it "Swamp Thing" (hey, that's DC Comics!)

The Cajuan Cliffhanger is still there and it will be coming back in 2001, actually it was redone by the end of September, but they decided to just bring it back in 2001 for various reasons. The ride has been totally redone as far as the operations go. It only drops the floor 6 inches and the ride operator cannot rise the floor until the speed in zero for 3 seconds and these changes are now in operations manual. Basically Six Flags made the ride operator idiot-proof since the computer control all the function of the ride about all the operator has to worry about is starting the ride.

How about the Riddler, only a twisted mind like im could think of the first spike. ;)

they could theme it to Superman and make it the superhero section of the park. I forgot what other Six Flags park did that.

what is a impulse coaster??

It is where an inverted coaster is launched goes up a hill that twists, falls back, goes straight up, and then down. This is Superman: Ultimate Escape.
