False new attraction memo makes rounds at Six Flags Great America

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

The memo making the rounds to newspapers and around Six Flags Great America indicating the construction of a 300-foot roller coaster is a hoax, according to a real memo sent around the park. A number of factual problems expose the memo as a fraud.

Read more from The News Sun.

The article is not without its mistakes too. Dragster opened in 2003 - technically...
...and there was a sadness that befell the lands of human kind, and (forget it, I forgot this was about 6Flags.):)
I especially like the part about the 12 inversions...
Some enthusiass is getting their rocks off this morning knowing that their bogus memo actually made the news, even if it was only to say, "It's bullsh*t!"

"the Cobra in Dammam, Ash Sharqiyah Province, Saudi Arabia is a mere 111 feet tall with only two inversions, making it similar to Great America's old Turn of the Century."

Ummm, a quick glance across rcdb MIGHT lead one to believe it had the same two loops as ToTC had....but ToTC wasn't a shuttle. Cobra navigates the SAME loop twice...

bill, STILL really wants to try a Pax Cobra....even five years later, LOL...

Maybe someone wanted Maxxxxxxxxxxxx at SFGAm since it didn't happen at SFGAdv ;) you know... one x for every inversion?
