Why? Demons trains are constantly refurbished and work fine. They also look great.

[Coaster Justin]

New OTSR Trains will increase Rider comfort for shorter people so as to have more repeat riders.


They can keep the trains themselves, but the restraints need updating.

[Galvan317]

Rode the Boomerang at Hersheypark with the new train and the ride was still awful. Even though the seats are more comfortable the ride still jackhammers and slams your head against the headrest, and the new restraints still offer some neck chopper action.

Itd be nice if Demon got the new restraints as they are more open and easier on the shoulders, but unless the ride got a lot more attention then that, I doubt it would be much smoother.

Not to mention all the restraints were replaced just a few seasons ago, IIRC.

Early Day 2 but Still

Repaint Batman Blue like Other Batman's

It'll stand out more as no coaster in the park is blue. Plus it just looks better in my opinion than Yellow.

[monsterfan99]

The SFOG one looks like crap in person. Give me colorful, 1990's batman over what they are trying to do now.

[w00dland]

Said it when they painted it Yellow and I'll say it again - Why the hell are you changing that color scheme and theming? Dark Knight belongs dark.

Day 3
Retrack the 2nd helix of American Eagle and/or Add New Trains

[Galvan]

As of day 3 Coaster Justin is .5 for 3 - Retracking Eagle could be something IF the ride was rough, which it isnt.

At least you've got a higher batting average so far then Adam Dunn.

[Coaster Justin]

Maybe I'm in the minority but the 2nd helix (The one right before the brakes) was very rough to me. The trains aren't the greatest either.

[DejaVu2001]

The ending helices could use retracking on both sides, but Blue side's end helix is horrible.

[FParker185]

Actually if they turned off the trim's going into the helices, it would be surprisingly smooth. With the right speed, and just a touch of grease, the train gets pinned to the outer rail and it flows smoothly though the helix. When it goes to slow, that force isn't there and it pinballs back and forth between the 2 rails and provides the crappy ride it's been known for in that part of the ride.

Ride def needs new trains though, a shiny new set of spec PTC's would be nice rather than those homemade jobs they got running now that haven't legally been PTC's in decades.

[CoasterDude12-2]

I agree Eagle could use some retracking. I don't know why so many are opposed to it. Yes, there are much rougher rides out there but retracking would improve the ride experience, especially in the helix.

[monsterfan99]

I'm all for the re-tracking. Because of the helix I still don't get the Eagle love.

[Coaster Justin]

Day 4

Add a New Indoor Theater

I Don't know where they'd add it but I want another theater for more LIVE shows.

[w00dland]

I think having more live shows is a great idea, but don't we already have two amphitheaters we simply don't use?

[Coaster Justin]

You jumped the gun with that statement. I'll get to 1 of those at a later day.


We've Lost 3 Theaters since 07'
- Southwest Rock'n Amphitheater
- Theatre Royale
- Space Shuttle America
Time to add a new one to make the park more complete.

[DejaVu2001]

^ Space Shuttle America was a ride. Motion simulators are not considered shows.

[sixflasgworker]

r they actually doign all this to the park nextyear????
merruy christmis

[Coaster Justin]

This is my wish list for what the park should do in the next few years.

They all could happen. I've listed things on here that have happened. I can prove them If you want.


PS, You misspelled Merry

[DejaVu2001]

^ This guy is obviously a troll. All of his posts have spelling and grammar errors and lack any common sense. He can't even spell Six Flags right (look at his name).

Day 5:

Add a Ferris Wheel


My Suggestion (Not Like it matters to some of you) but:

[Coaster Justin]

Day 6
Add a Wind-Fan somewhere on Site for 3 Reasons:
1- Tax Deduction (MONEY)
2- Can Sell it to the City for a Premium (MO MONEY)
3- Well... http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011 ... otel-rooms
4- Oh and... http://www.sfgamworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11459

Plus to people who say "Over here is our County Fair section that was over taken by the Dutch as you can see the windmills they put in" and "What purpose would they serve? Park gets more than enough reliable power from ComEd without spending millions on alternative energy sources that would never pay themselves off on such a small scale."

Well look at this
