I have not visited the park in about a month and I am wondering if Revy is still closed?

by **Aero737** on June 25th, 2006, 1:44 pm

Yes, and will be for some time.

by **Jackluver18** on June 25th, 2006, 2:07 pm

What is the matter with it?

by **SFaddiction84** on June 25th, 2006, 2:33 pm

Um last week when i went, they had the Seating Area completely DIS connected from the Swinging Shaft and was sitting on Wooden Blocks!!!

Does anyone know what happened? that they need to partly disassemble the ride?

by **Aero737** on June 25th, 2006, 2:59 pm

Its broken, thats why.

ha. i have been visitng six flags every year and still have not had the chance to ride king or rev. anyone wanna tell me how it is. i usually don't ride flat rides when im there im usually hanging out with my freinds or riding rollercoasters. I love flat rides but i just dont go on them there im usually always on the rollercoasters

by **Jackluver18** on June 25th, 2006, 3:57 pm

I only go on Ricochet and River Rocker, I won't go on Rev or King. They spin way too much and before you know it i'll be by the garbage can. So I don't know about everyone else but my stomach wouldn't be able to handle those rides.

ha. i think when i wad 12 i went on my first top spin at the escanaba state fair. and it got stuck when its coming back down and the lights shut out on us. and we didnt; come back down till after 10 minuets.

I got stuck on my first top spin too, ala King Chaos. The very first time I went on it. We didn't even get to finish the ride so all I experienced was going up to the very top and stopping.

by **Jackluver18** on June 25th, 2006, 4:11 pm

Spinny flats kill me so I won't go on King, Rev, FF,Chubasco, i think that's it but I like RR, Ricochet, ERC is ok i guess, Drop I won't go on. So yeah im very picky about my flats.

by **!)EJAVU-FAN!** on June 25th, 2006, 4:13 pm

similar thing happened to me on the kamizake it started almost ready to flip fro the first time and then the things tops nad the op puts ont he brakes for it and we had to get off.

Revolution along with most other Huss Frisbees are closed, most likely for the entire season. (some second and 3'rd hand reports here, so take it for what you will but..)Something about something breaking on a portable Frisbee in Germany and it was sent back to Huss as it was a complex repair involving disassembling things that are not normally disassembled, and couldnt be done on the road, upon disassembling the hub of the ride, rather severe stress cracks were found, and Huss is working on a solution for this.

I know all Frisbees were supposed to be inspected, some re-opened, I assume with SFGAm's(and quite a few others) still closed, the problems were found on ours/most.

I would assume by next year it will be good as new and back in operation (at least I hope)

A cast member told me it was closed due to parts that were not there yet a while ago. Circumstances could ahve changed by then but that is what he told me. Revolution not working right now hasn't really made a difference in my day at the park. Revolution is a godd ride and all but all it does is spin back and fourth....boring in my opinion. I'll go on it but it's kind od a sissy ride to me. I would much prefer it to run like Excalibur in St. Louis. That one goes all the way around and is much more thrilling.

what else do you want revolution to do...would you rather it bought you a soda afterwards? its called revolution...it lives up to its name perfectly and anything else would just be devestating. yeah so it kinda sucks that its closed. the ride is the wtfpwnbbq.

I think we've found the first person that Shapiro has successfully brain-washed into thinking Six Flags has become "just like disney." ;-)

Regarding Revolution...I think we might have a good idea about what next year's new attraction might be.

At least V2 and Vu aren't alone anymore in being the only rides down a lot/most of the season. They finally have some company in that regards!

a clear case of Sympathy downtime

Good answer.

by **ragingbullchick** on June 27th, 2006, 3:26 pm

I'm gonna miss Revy so much this season! :cry:

That's probably my favorite flat in the whole park.

by **ragingbull346** on June 27th, 2006, 3:43 pm

Revy is a good ride but it gets boring after a while and I think it could be a lot better like becky 0 33 said.

by **Ilovthevu'** on June 27th, 2006, 4:12 pm

A better low-capacity (I hate when people hate low-capacity rides.) ride is Scat. http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index/VentureScat2.jpg

It feels like the last part of Revolution the Ride the whole time it's operating except when it stops, obviously. :lol:

by **revolutiongurl** on June 27th, 2006, 8:49 pm

You actually think it won't open for the season at all? It better, I'll kill myself it it doesn't.

Dont get your hopes up.

Revy will probably be closed all season.
