Six Flags Magic Mountain to reclaim coaster crown in 2010

Great idea. I'm going to open a park with 18 Dragon Wagons and hire myself a kickass marketing director.

A strategy that didn't work out that well for Wild Adventures... ;)

On the plus side, HFEC has been re-imagining the park quite nicely...

I was almost going to say that myself, until I realized that the park, despite the bankruptcies and changes in ownership, seems to be doing well now. So in other words, everything gator just said....

Superman:The Escape is closed until summer 2011. The sign in front of the closed off Superman area says that something "BIG" is coming to the ride. What could it be?

^ LOL. Wouldn't surprise me. Seriously, I think the ride may actually be getting a new launching system.

They should replace the whole thing with a complete circuit like TDD.

^ I know a lot of people will say that, but that sounds awfully expensive, in a time where SF doesn't seem to be shelling out that kind of money.

Yeah, I was going to add a winkieface to the last post, but I thought maybe people would confuse it to mean that I knew that that's what was going to happen, when in fact I was laughing at the rumor.

Ah, yes now that I read it again I get it. lol

What ever they do, it will probably be "bizarre" :)

Seriously though, I would fly over to ride it again, if I knew it was going to operate like it did when it first opened. The ride barely goes half way up now.

The issue that I have about the Bazarro theme is this: Superman is a much more recognizable name. If a park already has a Superman themed attraction, than Bizarro fits, but if it doesn't, then they should use and/or keep the Superman name.

Just how I would run IP's if I were master of Six Flags.

I LOVE the Bizarro character, by the way, and I am very happy to see him used in a theme park setting. I use the term "bizarro" all of the time.

About the title of this thread, mehh...

The rumor going around was that one side would be Superman and one side Bizarro. Screamscape claims someone said one side would also go backwards. Regardless, they need to do something to make that ride fun.
