Six Flags Great America teases new ride

In the print version of the article, it ran with a photo, which included me.

Also, the print version was a little shorter and did not mention CP...

I will try to get the scan online today and will post a link to it...

deja vu worlds tallest and fastest suspended coaster?? whatever.

hey redman what date/section was that in? i mustve missed it... but the paper's still in the recycling, i wanna see this pic youre talkin about.

alright its been conformed that opennig day it will be ready at least we hope

-----------------
Whats red yellow and blue at SFGAm...???

"It's very unique," Storey said. "There's no other ride like it in the Midwest"

If this doesnt confirm its a clone, dont know what will!!!

X-Flight, Susan?

-----------------
SFGAm: 1)DV 2)V2 3)AE Blue 4)Viper 5)Bull

X-flight was made by Vekoma, while Superman is made by B&M, that's probably their justification for that statement.

I think they meen its the only B+M flyer in the midwest.

Favorite B+M's Hulk, Raging Bull, Dueling Dragons (Both), Batman the Ride, Iron Wolf

25 diffrent coasters in 2002
I love IOA

The print version DID mention CP redman.

Where are you in the pic?

-----------------

Actually, the article read 'world's tallest and fastest suspended BOOMERANG coaster.' That's justified and narrows the playing field substantially.

I doubt the general public gives a rip about the designer/builder. Fact is, this is not the only flying coaster in the midwest...the statement is a bit misleading in my opinion.

Come-on, Jeff. SFGA can't generate it's enthusiasm on it's own. It's up to you. It's the PR specialists fault no one cares about Superman. Come-ON! Look at these great red capes!! No one in the Midwest would hawk their rides with cheap dialog while wearing cool red capes.

yeeesh. They would do just as good if they just stood up there with tears in their eyes in front of a nobody love's me sign.

Me

"Other Six Flags across the county opened or are building similar flying coasters."

Really? I didn't know Gurnee was so big. ;)

-----------------
800,000 years in 7 seconds: Time Machine the movie or next S&S creation?

While i would pefer something new and unique instead of a clone. I wont complain and im very happy that SFGAM is invetsing this money and in the park and building a new coaster!!!! I havent ridden a flyer yet so im really looking forward to it!!!

Ok, here is the link to how the article appeared in my area.

Well, what suspended coaster is taller and faster than a Deja Vu?

Vertical Velocity, Wicked Twister

-----------------
SFGAm: 1)DV 2)V2 3)AE Blue 4)Viper 5)Bull

Vertical Velocity is not taller than Deja Vu, and Six Flags won't acknowledge WT as a coaster until... ;)

-----------------
Superman:The Escape(1997-2002) May he one day fly again.

Bob! You did it! You didn't complain, hurrah! :) Hehe, just playin' with you.

"If two coaster trains almost hit each other, why is it called a near miss and not a near hit?"

Hmm. I wonder how Gadv's superman is being prepared for opening day.
