^Actually, quite the opposite..

I thought that the park was going to be quite good.... even though the coaster line up wasnt as great as some of the other parks.

Ultra Twister: SF America (maybe)

[CoastsToCoasters]

See I like the appearence of the Ultra Twisters with their vertical lift, but I've heard they're hell machines due to their roughness. They still look cool. If SFGAm could receve a ride of theirs, I'd like an altered UT coaster...just reconstruct the original vertical lift...?

I love this one of kind Togo UT...

The reason SFAW's UT has the 45* lift is because there were problems getting to the riders in an evacuation. That's one of the reasons why it left SFGAdv before going to SFAW.

How exactly does the auction process work? Is it park owners bidding on rides?

Tidal Wave (SFAW's version of Splash Water Falls) is going to Great Escape with Serial Thriller.

I wish we would of got serial thriller, but we already have 3 inverted coasters.

[CoasterDude12-2]

Batman is WAY better than Serial Thriller, but SLC's are still fun.

I have actually rode two UT's this year and I had heard the same thing on how rough they were and was surprised at how much fun they are. Got to ride Ultra Twister at Nagashima Spaland with the vert lift and Ultra Twister at Astroworld and both were good!

Wish we could get UT from Astro! But we dont really need a coaster for awhile

[CoasterDude12-2]

I thought Ultra Twister was so unique when I rode it. The only expierience that came close to it was Viper at GAdv, but that was way rougher and a different kind of wheel.

[[jonrev]]

I've heard several bad reports on GAdv's Viper. El Toro will be much better for that spot.

[CoasterDude12-2]

Believe me, anyone who thinks Iron Wolf is rough should ride SoB. Anyone who thinks Son of Beast is rough should have ridden Viper. That was the roughest coaster i've been on.

Worse than Typhoon @ Santa's Village?

[CoasterDude12-2]

Easily. Typhoon doesn't take earrings out of ears.

I heard that the Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis has done that before. Worse than SoB?

[Coaster Alex0805]

Serpent from Astro is getting Scrapped!

[Imeanbusiness]

Every ride can do that, its been done on Vertical Veolcity and most rides before.

[Coaster Alex0805]

I also heard that Batman will go to another SF park

[Trailblazer Tony]

^The pieces were seen on a truck in Ohio heading Northeast.
