HTFM

[CoasterNick3157]

Is it open yet, anyone know?

[Jackluver18]

Nope wasn't Saturday when I went, have no idea when it will

[monsterfan99]

Down as of Yesterday as well.

[onyxhotel08]

Ride Status could help you out...or ask in trip reports

[Demon_07]

I'm very curious why I haven't even seen it testing yet.

[Chitown]

I wouldn't mind seeing this removed. HTFM has to the most boring Scrambler out there.

Of course replace it with a more thrilling flat.

[monsterfan99]

^ Try the one at Kings Island, that one is awful and nothing to look at.

Not sure when the ride was last rehabbed, but man it helped Shazam. The ride was full of force and smooth as well. If only every Scrambler ran like Shazam...

[Coaster Justin]

Not Just HTFM, I've Been to the Park 5x already and JWR, YC, AE-Blue are all closed (So Much for having every ride open everyday, Shapiro)

Btw, If you're wondering, I went to the park on:

- 4/12
- 5/16
- 5/17
- 5/20
- and 5/24

^ The weird thing about American Eagle - blue side is it was running solo Thursday from 5 til close. Not sure what is up with Jester's other then the ride never has more then 2-5 people on it.

[Jackluver18]

Yeah on Saturday Eagle blue was testing at like 7 pm I think

[BrianPlencner]

^ In reference to AE Blue, when I was out there on 5/23, I was talking to a ride supervisor (who will remain nameless) who told me that the 2nd blue train just came out of full rehab, and was first put on the track a few days before. Before that train could take people, it has to run the standard test cycles. If I remember right, that is either 40 or 50 hours of running empty.

I know on 5/23, AE Blue was closed all day, and near the last hour, they cycled off the other train, and ran the one for an hour solid hour.

I was also told that, if the demand was there to open the blue side, they would either run just one train (the one that did not still need testing), or they would run both, and only load the one.


But, back on topic with HTFM. I do like that ride a lot, and hope that it does open soon. I have not heard anything from the park yet why its not running.

I went yesterday and
HTFM
JWR
Condor
YC
Eagle Red
RaceWay
Train
Were All Closed

Drop only had half the ride going and two trains on bull

[Ilovthevu']

Wow, that seems like a lot to me. The train, raceway, and Condor were just working this week. King Chaos was closed though. They say every ride is going to be open, and it's the same old, same old stuff again. Sometimes, I wonder about this company. They have Logger's Run open on a colder day, but yet they don't have King Chaos running even though I don't like King Chaos.

[Jackluver18]

Yeah I have no idea when HTFM will open, I wish it would soon

[onyxhotel08]

When will Bull finally be running 3 trains? And when will my fave Clipper finally come out to play?

[Demon_07]

I mentioned this in an earlier post, but when I was riding Logger's, an op. told me YC will closed through the month of june. That same day, I saw somebody working on its lift.

[DejaVu2001]

^^ Clipper is supposed to be open today. Bull ran 3 trains last week on Memorial Day and should be running 3 today and tomorrow. I'd say another week or 2 before Bull runs 3 consistently since most schools aren't out yet.

[Demon_07]

^That's good to hear. I miss it.

[onyxhotel08]

Too bad one train was consistently off the track when I was there right before M. Day even though someone said they rotated the red and yellow...didn't see it or see any point in such things.

[stockboy300]

Take out HTFM and reserect the haybailer in that spot!!! What did they do with the HB storage or scrap??

[demonbulleagle]

^ If I remember right, that is either 40 or 50 hours of running empty.

I'm pretty sure its just 50 cycles of test.

[FParker185]

Haybaler was in poor shape and got scrapped, though that type of ride isn't hard to find. Kinda old fashioned for a new attraction though.

[Ilovthevu']

Not everyone of those Flying Bobs are good in my opinion though. The newer Bertazzons are not as fast, and the one at Cedar Point isn't fast enough either. Sadly, they aren't hard to buy because carnivals don't want 2 truck rides that take 7 hours to put up compared to 3 or 4 hours, and 1 truck.

They get the crowds though. I wish more Six Flags had Flying Bobs, but put music on them too! Six Flags America, and Six Flags New England have one. For Six Flags America, they would only run 1 way, and the other time I was on it they run it the other way, but still only 1 way. Why, Six Flags why? Why do they have to destroy the fast and great carnival rides? (Yo-Yo, Flying Bobs). I might actually like King Chaos if it was run more like a Zipper than 2 flips and you are done. Big whoop. The roller coasters they spend 15 -20 million to get the biggest, and baddest rides, and than they tame down some of the flats.

Than, they wonder why no one wants to go on an upside down ride that they bought that's supposed to be thrilling, but they tamed it down so much.

[Demon_07]

I think I heard that Hay Baler was kind of hidden away and unpopular, similar to HT. If that's why it was removed, there wouldn't be a point in returning it even if it wasn't scrapped. They'd probably go for a more modern flat.

[Chitown]

^The ride was popular although, yes, it was set back a little bit. It was removed along with Sky Whirl to put in Deja-Vu.
