New for 2016 - Justice League: Battle for Metropolis

[Justiceleaguefan]

Anyone know what part of the park it will be in? Also, does this mean the Justice League is coming back for meet and greets?

[TheRealTrush]

While I personally am not a huge fan of this addition as of this moment, my opinion will probably change. I also hope that this ride will start to draw crowds away from the Goliath area, because even now I still see wait times exceeding a good hour and a half.

Justice League: Battle for Metropolis will be where the Southwest Ampitheater was. It will not be in Southwest Territory though, the park will be moving the Southwest Territory sign past the Justice League site (Near the restrooms).

[B&MGuy35]

For those of you that we're complaining about it going in Southwest Territory, it is not!

The park announced today at the park that the entrance for Southwest is moving. Although they did not state if that will be part of County Fair but I'm assuming yes it will be. Although that whole area will be themed to Justice League with the Hall of Justice facade being put up so maybe they'll just do a small DC Comics theme in that area.

The park also did not want to give an exact opening day stating spring only. They said they hope to have it open by opening day but there is no guarantee. We all know this is not likely though right, or no? Maybe it is possible? Once the building goes up all work is basically inside so who knows.

Hope this answers some questions!

Yes!

No. Six Flags has no interest in opening new rides when the park opens. They can say all they want that they "want" it ready when the park opens, but that's simply not true, and it never really has been as long as I can remember.

[B&MGuy35]

The last attraction I remember opening on opening day is Superman Ultimate Flight. Although no landscaping had been done.

Really excited for this ride, just not crazy about the location. That aside, it'll be a great fit and a personal favorite. My dad always beats me in shooting dark rides (higher score), so this will allow me to get some more "practice" in, and I can finally beat him!!

[gottastrata33]

I've accepted the dark ride concept for a bit now & I am actually happy. The more I think about it the more excited I get. This will be refreshing to have at our park. I always rode the interactive dark rides at other parks cause it was something "I" didn't have here. This is going to be a great addition to our already fantastic lineup of flats & family attractions. It will be so different from anything we already have.

However I'm gonna be that person that says the teasers made little to no damn sense. From the shovel, to the coaster dropping hand moves, to American Eagle & the mountain on the horrible fake blue prints. The only clarity was sending capes to radio stations & the ha ha in the tunnel with the vandals. So I'm gonna go as far to say American Eagle is still closing later. Because that's all I have. Lol

Back to BFM, I'm excited. & the more I see Total Mayhem, I think one of those would actually create quite a buzz here one day.

All three are generally underused.

I am very happy Justice League is coming to SFGAm. I have been wanting SFGAm to get a dark ride like this for years after riding many of the Sally Dark Rides at other parks and always enjoying them. This ride takes those ride's to another level. I can't wait to see how it turns out and ride it. I am sure it will be a favorite attraction that guests of all ages will enjoy.

[CoasterCale]

Great addition! Now that we're getting a dark ride, I'd say it's only a matter of time before six flags removes buccaneer battle and the pictorium.

What's the connection between the three things?

If we're getting rid of "underused" things, I'd start with Trailblazer or Ragin' Cajun before I start taking down things that are at least sometimes useful (especially if its really hot or rainy)

[B&MGuy35]

Here's a good POV from Sally Corp

http://youtu.be/JWb6Nkb0leU

This will now be the second longest ride at the park at just over 4 mins!

[UWW-10]

Well....let's just hope they maintain the effects of this ride and that this doesn't become TDK all over again. I'd also like to think they'd figure out the kinks from the original prototypes so that the two new ones function a bit better.

I was also hoping for something to fill the void of RC (but I wasn't going to hold my breath considering Trailblazers spot has been vacant way longer but at least that location isn't a total eyesore)

[jmanporty7]

I'm honestly well pleased w/ JL:BFM! It's a great addition and will become a huge hit.

[DeathbyDinn]

I think this could be the best addition in years. Even though it's a clone, we've needed a dark ride forever and it's great to get such a high quality one.

Nice to now that the Southwest sign is being moved too. I always thought it was out of place how you went under it but didn't see anything southwest related until you got past the train.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Hopefully they'll repave the path in front of the ride so people won't think it's part of SWT(yes, I know the sign will be moved, but long time park goers know the distinct path SWT has). That sounds stupid, yes, but I think it'd look better with fresh concrete, or dare I say- asphalt.

Well We've needed a good dark ride.

We've needed a dark ride and this looks like a great one. Has anyone been on the ones that opened last year in STL and Texas?

I've been on the Texas one several times. It's a great ride...I honestly enjoyed it. If any of you have been on Transformers or Spiderman at Universal it's very similar. I wouldn't say as epic as those obviously because those cost around 100 million and have 2 floors in them, but for Six Flags this is an amazing ride. Out of the 5 times I went on it, which were all different times throughout the summer it was never broken down and only the last time I noticed the explosion didn't work. So the reports of it having issued is baffling too me. 1st time I was down there was June, then again in July and just again 2 weeks ago.

^It is a great ride, and maybe the Texas one was more reliable, but the St. Louis ride was down a ton this summer, finally having to close completely for a few weeks to work out the kinks. Some local residents say the ride was almost down more than it was running there.

Case in point, when we went in late June, on day 1 we went to the ride when the park opened but it was already down, so we left the line. We tried later that day and got in line only to have it go down again within two minutes, so we left the line again.

On day 2 we got in line at open and my wife and kids got on while I waited with our twins to do the parent swap, and they broke down literally 5 feet from the exit of the ride (and would not be left off), so we had to wait for it to be fixed, and then I got on (and they fixed it by moving two overweight riders who had just gotten on to a less full car, but we still had to wait for a mechanic to come before that happened). There were stories like that all summer long there.

I just hope Sally learned how to avoid those bugs for our park.

It looked like Transformers meets Men In Black from the videos
Also Spiderman was 1 floor, Transformers has 2 floors

[B&MGuy35]

Spiderman is 2 floors as well
The part when the green beam lifts you you are in a elevator shaft going up and when you're falling you're in a elevator shafts dropping

Edit: I guess I was mistaken...sure feels like it's 2 floors!

Is there a reason why Great America hasn't put up their Justice League preview on YouTube? I see that Six Flags Mexico did, so why wouldn't Great America?

Can we get them to guarantee and promise the effects and theme with remain in full affect for years? They have turned off half of Dark Knight, they don't use the misters on x flight anymore.
