SFGAdv Invitation Scan, DEFINITELY WORLD RECORD

Waiting outside allows you to see how long dispatches are taking... or see if dispatches are taking place at all.

S2K, GADV added all queue shades this year to Nitro and Superman. Im sure they will do the smart thing and also add the shade structures to this new coaster.

For anyone interested GADVCentral will be providing full coverage of the 2005 Announcement on September 29th. *** Edited 9/24/2004 9:56:39 PM UTC by Bob Issler***

According to RCDB, SFMM does... check it out.
I always thought it was SFGAdv because people generally count the inversions on shuttles only once (like The Chiller) but then I remembered that SFMM has Deja Vu, which "evens" the number of shuttle inversions.

Yeah, but I count 5 shuttle inversions on Chiller and 3 on DV...

something else
Then the solution is to get better ops, not to drop another $1M on a station.

I agree. My original point was that SFGAdv needs to consider ride capacity with this ride. A lot of their ride ops are pathetically slow. 4 minutes to launch a S:UF train is ridiculous. Nitro and Medusa both have a good capacity. B&R: The Chiller has a terrible capacity (20 people per launch, 2.5 - 3 minutes between launches). To make things worse, they rarely run both sides.

The reason they don't run both sides, Kris, is because Batman has been practically shut down all year due to whatever issues is going on (what they are, I'm not sure)...and rumors of energy problems when it comes to launching both at the same time? Ehhh...all I know is I haven't seen the Batman side running in forever. I remember reading that it was open for a few days earlier this year, towards the beginning of the season, but shortly thereafter, shut down again.

Haha no I'm not giving Patrick the finger

Batman and Robin don't launch together because the launch would cut the power in the park. As for timing...having gone to the Florida parks this summer, I agree that the backup in the lines is pathetic! Nitro, Medusa and Batman run smooth but all the other coaster have terrible loading time. Even Viper has a long wait! I know, they only run one train but when that train gets in the station it takes for ever for people to get in and get the damn train out again.

Visit my Blog - Apartment7a.textamerica.com It's just my Moblog Camera Phones Rule.

is it 100% sure that this is a record-breaking coaster? If it is, I just hope it's a working 430-or more foot coaster at least 5 mph faster than dragster or it's kind of pointless, just good for advertising as the worlds tallest and fastest. But it will really help the park of course.

Austin-GO JEFF GORDON AND THE TITANS!!!!!!!

Its a HISTORIC announcement. I'm counting on it being atleast 460 FT. Anything less then that wouldn't really make it that historic.

I don't care how big this thing is or what it's going to do, I'd just like to see it work better than the other 3 Rockets.

I didn't think Storm Runner had/has any problems.

Storm Runner had some minor difficulties at first but it ran nearly flawless all summer. You also have to remember that TTD's and SFGA's new rocket have/will have a much larger system, making it more prone to failure. I'm excited for this new ride and I'm really pulling for the 500 feet mark, but I can only see this being a complete disaster for Six Flags. Unless, of course, Intamin has perfected the launching system...

Then I guess maybe It won't be that Historic for you...

:)

Can you even tell the difference between ten, even twenty feet that high up?

Never Has Gravity Been So Uplifting.

Thats how I feel, BullGuy. I was scared out of my mind the first time I got on TTD, but now its just like "Fun ride!", with no being scared. A few more feet and a faster launch won't scare me, if that is what this is...;)

I wasn't referring to B&R LAUNCHING at the same time, but merely RUNNING BOTH SIDES at the same time. The only way to make that ride have a 1/2 way decent capacity is to run both sides simultaneously. Otherwise, the capacity is terrible.

All I care about is that the new record is going to be snatched from right under Cedar Fairs nose, and put into the hands of Six Flags. Rightfully where it belongs.

My finger (take a guess which one) goes up to all CP fanboys who got to brag for 2 years about they're over-rated rocket coaster.

As for the rest of the coasters at CP, I was totally ready to hand them my "greatest coasters in the world" word untill I got there this summer and was greatly dissapointed. Almost none of the coasters there surpassed equal style coasters (stand-up, inverted, wood, etc..) at other parks that I have been on. Yes they have the height and speed, but just not that "punch" I get from other rides around the globe. TTD was definitly breathtaking, but over-hyped in my opinon. I have yet to find one coaster that is even a contender for "X".

My only complaint is that this sucker, and the record, ain't gonna be at Magic Mountain...we'll see how long that lasts...

Maybe by "historic announcement" they mean that it'll be the first time in Six Flags history that a record-breaking ride hasn't been named after a comic book or cartoon character.

I think the only thing worse than a cedar fair fanboy is a six flags fanboy. Yikes.

The ride isnt going to run, they allready have two rides not running how they should, Rolling Thunder and Batman & Robin not to mention half their flat rides. What makes anyone think this one will run well? And if it does run, which coaster will be neglected to keep it running.

I can only imagine what the capacity will be.

What a mess, I have no faith.

Yeah, its so over rated that you yourself said that it was worth the trip alone to CP. Who is the fan boy now, Ass Hat?

In case you don't remember giving TTD your other finger up (you'r thumb, dumbass...), here's the link:
