Hey does anyone want to help me design a new Six Flags park? We could decide a location and design all the rides. Ill choose a partner to design with after i see suggestions on posts.
Thanx!
Adam
If I'm not mistaken, Florida has been generally untouched by Six Flags. looks like a prime location to me. good tourist flow and all. lots pf competition, so blockbuster crowd-drawer coasters wouldn't be unheard of. The park would be on the beach of course, with perhaps some anaconda-like coasters out in the atlantic. whatcha think?
Kewl, I like that idea! Thanks alot! What are some names/themes/types?
I would love to do it, but we all know that we would just have to build a bunch of clones because that is what Six Flags does. Or, if Six Flags is feeling a little spicy, they could create a unique park!!

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!
I have a cool name/theme/type.
I have 2 dueling coasters called Iron Madens/Roman Theme/Inverted. I originally wanted them to be floorless, but I thought I already had enough of them.
My other dueling/racing coasters are:
Gemini(real wooden) Int. high & Exc. high.
Screamin' Demons (wooden, somewhat of a Mean Streak layout) Int. very high & Exc. very high.
Dueling Medusas (floorless, not real just needed a name) Int. very high & exc. very high.
Krashing Krakens (floorless, not real just needed a name) Int. very high & Exc. very high,-water theme, which would help with the coasters for the coast.
Batman Knight Flight (floorless, not real, just needed a name) Int. very high & Exc. very high
I have more, but these are just off the top of my head.
I'd like to help you design a park. I guess we could do it through e-mail or on this site.
hey thanx again, but it doesnt have to be clones, look at Six Flags Ohio or Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Just lets exchange e-mails someone!
mostly some bad puns on current SF rides, slash between 2 coaster types indicates that either one would work.
Aquaman: the Escape - launched lift hill out of an under-the-ocean station leading into a 5 inversion B&M Floorless/Arrow Corkscrew.
Robin: The Ride - exact replica of Batman: the ride, only painted red and yellow and flying instead of inverted.
Two-Face - Racing/dueling Steel Wild Mouse/B&M Stand-up.
since it's illegal to make a woodies in a SF park named after a batman character, we have to come up with original names for the rougher rides...
Solar Flare - I always hated the boring paint jobs on most wood coasters, so I created this, a compact cyclone-esque creation painted yellow, orange, and red. good ride, and looks cool too.
Titan - the obligatory BAW, (Big *bleep!* woodie) 7-8000 feet, spends a lot of time in massive 5-8 cycle helixes, 2-3 lifthills.
Wolf - pretty standard out-and-back, tunnel in the woods, put a splash portion in the tunnel where nobody can see it, so they'll think they wet themselves. :-P
aside from roller coasters, you gotta have other sexy stuff. on the beach, a traditional boardwalk complete with ferris wheel and lots of shops, also maybe a aquaman-themed kiddie area, with tunnel underwater of course, leading out to a small island utilizing martian theming. also along the beach, one of those big round theaters, "Aquaman's Amazing Marine Mammals," complete with those weird sea lion fountain themeing objects.
I'm dried out of ideas for now...
As for the name, I would suspect that SF would do something boring like Six Flags over Florida, but that doesn't mean we can't be creative... Six Flags tropical Paradise? Six Flags Florida Wonderland. Six Flags Ocean Adventure...
just a few off the top of my head... Adam, E-mail me and let's get to work!
E-mail me too.
And about the dueling coasters above, I have already made them, but you could change their names since they don't resemble the originals in any way.

Thanks so much, but one more ?... how would we make Aquaman: The Escape's underwater station?
You guys have great ideas, and i was wondering if there's a way we can send the park over e-mail so we could all add a little bit???
Adam
PS: I'll e-mail you as soon as i get it running again
SIX FLAGS OCEAN ADVENTURE!
Let's Decide some finals:
Six Flags Ocean Adventure, ???, Florida
Aquaman:The Escape - Launched B&M 5-Inversion Floorless.
Two Face - Dueling/Racing B&M 4-Inversion Stand-up.
Screamin' Demon (how bout just one)- Dinn Wood Twister
Iron Maiden - 6-Inversion B&M Inverted
----------
PLUS: Some of my ideas
Batman: The Dark Knight's Drop - Either B&M Vertical Drop coaster, or intamin Roto-Drop
Stingray/Barracuda/Electric Eel- Standard Arrow 7-Looper
Lemme know what you think: manhatten_amon@yahoo.com
The underwater station isn't a problem. leave it to me. it's all just a matter of raising the land on the ends to allow normal track to enter, than proceed down below the ocean bottom. I toyed with the design a bit last night, and with floorless the ride came up with 8.32 intensity, 7.25 excitement. by merely changing the floorless to standard B&M looping cars, the ride became 7.09 excitement, 7.90 intensity. looked to be a good trade-off to me, especially given that some guests will draw the intensity line between 7 and 8.
I put a small island over the station just for scenery, with the track traveling through the middle surrounded by palm trees and some egyptian theming. the ride opens with a lauch lift hill through a natural pillar (sort of like the Demon at PGA) then a half-cobra roll and large half-loop down to a point just above the waters surface. after going through the pillar again, it goes through a camel-back hump, curls around, and enters a dual corkcsrew (trim brakes just before to reduce intensity) onto the island. a brief incline, then a half-cobra roll and half-loop downward, and a final full cobra roll just above the waters surface before re-entering the station. I'll work on getting a screenshot..
Hey thats kewl
But E-mail me!!!
For a Batman theme how about a LIM launched B&M stand-up coaster with 6 or seven inversions. It can go from 0-60mph in 4 seconds. I don't know if any of you guys have done this, but it could be a first of its kind Stand-up coaster. Call it "The Scarecrow's Fear Machine".

Can you take me higher? (CREED)
Hey, instead of a Batman, ive yet to see a Flash coaster, why not try that?
Have you made anymore changes to the park?
I've got a nice Joker themed coaster, similar to Joker's Jynx, but it was like 9 inversions. I haven't decided on a name. It's either gonna be called the Joker's Wild Card, or the Joker's Fun House. It is heavily themed. It's a launched coaster.
Build a Superman : The esacpe type ride , its done like this. Get any stell coaster or any that will power launch [ you really need a corkscrew one]. Build like you would a shuttle loop. No loops though. Make shure speed in 60 mph. Then right after the station make shure you arm the staight traks with booster max speed. Don't make it too fast or it will fly right of the track. then make a staight in cline up as high as it goes. Then the train will not clear this and go speeding back to the station. I think the excitment might be low and high intensity, but a good chance not as usually the shuttle loopers i build aren't bad.
If that doesn't work to the same thing and make the hill low enough so it clears. Then, like new rollercoasters, go over it to a steep drop then back to the statin maybe with loops, and one corkscrew max or intensity will be extrmeme. No turns either when i high speed is happining this is why intensity ratings and nausea jump.
Hope you can put this on screen and use it.
I just sent you my inverted I already had made with 6 inversions and my dueling standup with 4 inversions. Hope they help
