I think the movie poster idea is cool. I'd want to buy a Maxx Force movie poster in a shop if they sold some as merchandise. They would get a lot of money with those!


The movie poster idea is definitely a good idea. Also some info on F1 racing cars throughout the queue would be cool too. Like how in Top Thrill Dragster queue, signs around you compare the ride stats to actual dragsters.

Of course a replica F1 car in the queue would be nice too, but it seems very far fetched for Six Flags to do that...

My guess is a polished metal and mirrored sign for Maxx Force, a marquis for the posters, and some interesting theming.

Thanks, I think It’s a great idea too! Lol it’s just a nice little nod to pictorium in a subtle way but I could See it not fitting too well depending on what they go with. Also - the big blue steel entry way is still up on the exit side of SkyTrek right? Could they mirror that on the entrance?

I really don't care what they do, but I think Maxx could be a great ride with some type of purpose instead of just being a ride that launches really fast. How about Maxx is touring all over North America and we're experiencing one of his races and are going on that journey. They had something going on in those teasers that I think could be incorporated into the ride.

While I kind of doubt they will do that, you never really know. They did an excellent job themeing X-Flight

& its some twisted challenging course they win? Yeah that’d be pretty awesome to be honest. What Id love more if there are videos of that show Maxx with a helmet racing this course & everyone’s assuming, Maxx as a he & then at the end they take off the helmet & long lush hair whips out!

haha no I am Not drunk. It’s only noon thirty you guys jeez. ;)

:lol: Yeah maybe a bit too much creativity right there.

Although it would be nice that it were heavily themed I think it won't happen. All I hope for is for there to be some props or signs up in the queue.
How come Lightning Rod is never open when I go.

Top 10: 1. El Toro 2. Steel Vengeance 3. I305 4. Fury 325 5. Maverick 6. Mako 7. Iron Rattler 8. Medusa Steel Coaster 9. Raptor Clones 10. Maxx Force.

Things like X-Flight's station spiel make me happy. They could have just given the ride a generic welcome and boarding instruction speech. I think X-Flight is the best themed ride at the park that isn't themed to the D.C. universe.

Viper and Giant Drop have very elaborate queues/stations as well. And Space Shuttle America when that was still here.

Agreed. I've always loved Viper's theming. The little details inside the station and those 'old barn rooms' when you walk by.

Oh I didn't even think of Viper! Yes, I actually really like it's theming. I pray Maxx has *some* theming.

So I’ve been told this will be our first fully sponsored ride. The ride is sadly going to be themed to Sprint for the fastest mobile service in the US. The sprint experience store will be moving from yankee harbor to carousel plaza.....Trains are now gonna be yellow. :( this is stupid. What’s funny though is I’m totally kidding & hope it has *some* theming as well.

^ For a second you had me freaking out real bad. It honestly seemed like something that our park would do or something that Six Flags would do for extra money from advertising. I was about to lose it.

They're also renaming it Sprint: The Ride. Instead of "Thank you for riding Sprint: The Ride", they say "Thank you for switching to Sprint."

You do realize April Fools doesn't last the whole month right? :P

Imagine how the on-ride audio would be. "Sprint will now prepare to launch you at the fastest network of 4g lte's.

Jokes aside, although I see that happening :lol: .

At least the name of the ride IS original and not DC related :) It could easily have been:
Flash: The Ride
Single Day Ride Count Record

50 rides 8/17/2018 (Without Flash Pass - Coasters After Dark)

I don't mind the D.C. rides because you get some type of theming with it. With Maxx Force I'm just scared we'll get a Full Throttle theme and queue.

A racing theme for a launch coaster is not exactly unique anyhow.

I wonder if Maxx Force is something the chain can sorta clone. Its a simple layout with a relatively small footprint. That would be the real bummer.

I can't see the chain really cloning Maxx Force. They never cloned Goliath and that has a simple and small layout too if you think about it. Yes it would probably cost less to clone Maxx Force but I really don't see the chain doing something like that. Maxx Force is something that is supposed to be unique to our park so putting it everywhere else wouldn't make it so unique anymore.

If it wasn't for Joker, every coaster installed at Great America under Jim Reid Anderson has been custom. X-Flight, Goliath, Maxx Force and so far none of them have been cloned like Batman the Ride was.

I really though those wing coasters would be installed in more of the six flags park.

I thought for sure Great Adventure was going to get a custom wing rider after they demolished Rolling Thunder, but instead they got a super loop and a really long line for a drop tower.

I'm just thankful we ended up getting X-Flight instead of Chang.

I'm so happy we have gotten two (now three) custom coasters meant for our park in the recent years. I hope the new CEO keeps treating us well.
