JC38801.... both SFMM and CP have two "Baby" coasters as you call it. Plus both parks have 2 portable-type coasters in Flashback and Wildcat.

First, I'm glad to hear the SFMM has shown the class to remove "X" from all of their advertising while it is down. This is unlike another park that has continued to feature a coaster in its advertising even thought the coaster has not opeated all year.
I guess you're referring to Texas Tornado? This is a valid point, though truly the park expects to open it sometime this year. Who knows?
I was thinking more along the lines of Hypersonic: XLC...

also, how can you say that knotts has two winners in a row when one hasn't even open yet? It could very well tear itself apart too.

Is it true its always happy hour here? If it is I'd like to stay a while....

Yep. Wicked Twister is scheduled for removal right after Magnum. (Because of the sinking, you know)
Come on people, if there are serious problems the ride wouldn't be running, which it is right now. And if there were, they would be fixed. The answer to a troublesome ride is not to tear it down.

X - sucked. What a waste of cash by SFMM. Lets see, thats three, no four coasters at SFMM that stink. Yet Knotts gets two winners in a row. Amazing.-----------------

Perilous Plunge? You can't be serious....LOL
By the way, 100-1 people would disagree with you about X. It was worth every penny and is easily the best coaster I have ridden.
How's them eggs... ;)

I WISH! X is EXACTLY the sort of thing that SFAW desperately NEEDS!
Now, as for the big Six Flags VS Arrow Dynamics debate, IMO, Six Flags has NO right whatsoever to sue Arrow for any lost revenues due to X's opening delays until the BILL for X is PAID IN FULL! I don't care if the time and money involved were more than Arrow anticipated or not, where the heck does Six Flags get off putting poor Arrow Dynamics into such a dreadful situation after INSISTING that X be built, INSISTING that it open by a certain date, and INSISTING that it be working to their full satisfaction before they finally PAY for it?
As far as I'm concerned, Six Flags expressed their full satisfaction with the ride when they OPENED IT TO THE PUBLIC and started advertising it everywhere! You just DON'T herd thousands of riders every day through a PROTOTYPE ride until it tears itself apart because YOU chose to make YOUR OWN modifications to it, and then cry "FOUL PLAY"!
If this goes all the way to court, Arrow Dynamics should be cleared of ALL charges brought against them by Six Flags, if for no other reason than the simple fact that Six Flags made THEIR OWN modifications to the ride BEFORE it was fully paid for! IMO, this is TAMPERING with Arrow Dynamics' property, and grounds for Arrow to remove the ride at their own discretion, and add the cost of doing so to the bill that Six Flags has yet to pay!
If anyone should be suing someone over this, Arrow Dynamics should be suing Six Flags! All liability contracts between the two parties were VOIDED when Six Flags made THEIR OWN modifications to the ride! This argument should hold up in ANY court!
