SFGAm Rides at Other SF Parks

[Ilovthevu']

Let's just say that you owned SF Inc (pretend of course), and you can pick certain rides at SFGAm (flats and rollercoasters) that you would want them to be at all or even at half of the SF parks, what would they be?

For flats, they would be the train, Triple Play, Ricochet, East River Crawler, Chubasco, River Rocker, Whirlgig (only a half of all parks), Fiddler's Fling, Big Easy Balloons, Bumper Cars, and Logger's Run.

In case, you are thinking, why not Roaring Rapids, I will tell you that I enjoy SFKK Penguin's Blizzard River much much better than RR. For Whirlgig, I said 1/2 because I like this swing ride along with a "carnival" swing ride by the name of Yo-Yo.

For rollercoasters, I would actually chose every SF park to have a BTR, half of the parks should have a SUF, 1/4 D Vu's (5ish/6ish), and half a V2/(the other half would be Mr. Freeze from SFStL).

I like this idea of a topic...

Anyway, I think that the Deja Vu rides should have been installed at the smaller parks like SFKK for example. Not that im complaining that we have one of course

As for SFGAM, Id exchange Scream for say... V2 or Ragin' Cajun

Id also like Riddler's Revenge at SFGAM as well that would be pretty sweet.

Ah-ha-ha-ha! Six Flags was stupid enough to install four untested, unproven Vekoma GIB's (3 DV's, 1 @ Warner Movie World Madrid). So far, ONLY the one in Madrid (which, coincidently, is no longer owned by Six Flags) has operated consistantly. And you think they should install more?!?

Anyway, back on topic, I really think distiction is important in Six Flags parks. While agree that some of the smaller parks should get some of the nicer flats that we have, I think that all of our original coasters that are left should stay originals. Sure, RB, IW, AE, etc are great rides; thats why I don't want to see them at other parks... get those people to come to GAm. That's what makes CedarFair's parks so successful - when they open a new ride a Cedar Point one year, they don't clone it the next at another of their parks. People will travel to go on good, original coasters.

I like when other parks have the same rides, but with different theming. SFOG has a BTR, the theming is batman but I like the layout more than ours. I don't like that SF uses the same names for different rides, like Viper and Superman because people might mistake them to be different rides just because of the name.

[rct2wizard360]

I'd throw a BTR throughout every park in the chain. Cheaper than a custom layout, and dosent take up too much room. One of the somewhat nicer flats; give all the parks a Revolution clone.

SFOG's Batman is an exact clone of SFGAM's Batman.

And Viper and Superman are no where near the same ride.

[Ilovthevu']

He probably means that the layout of the line is done differently. For Viper, SFOG used to have Viper (aka Tidal Wave), and SFGAm has Viper. In other words, SF is using too many of the same names with the rollercoasters actually being different. I think there used to be a Togo at SFGAdV called Viper (same thing) also.

I rely on similarity for the fact that some people might not want to go to a place like SFKK after their first experience it. It's quite different from SFGAm, and has a lower rating for me.

However, people might rather want to go somewhere like SFOG (which might seem a little similar concerned with rollercoasters). Georgia Scorcher could remind people of IW, SUF-SUF, BTR-BTR, MindBender-maybe Demon, D Vu'-D Vu', and Ninja-Shockwave maybe.

I would take an American Eagle anyday. It is the largest of its kind and one of the few good racing coasters left, well when its racing. Also I would put a Viper in my park, probably one of the most under-rated wooden coasters around. Other than that, maybe Raging Bull, but I would rather have a custom speed coaster.

EDIT: Ok after reading the topic again, AE would probably be a bad idea. I'll stay with Viper .

I meant to say, that i think Deja Vu's should have been installed at the smaller parks instead of the 4 that they are at now.

[InsaneNewman]

Gotcha.... well then, yeah, I agree with you there... and they should have all been in warm-weather parks.

[Mr. SFGAm]

I will go ahead and agree that each Six Flags park should have a BTR, and a V2. Both are great rides, and take up minimal space. I also think that there should be more Cyclone-clones(Viper) around also.
Deja Vu, I don't think so. The three in the U.S. aren't doing so hot as it is.
I actually think SFOG will be the first to remove theirs.
