If they really wanted to build the water park then they would have done it. I bet they gave up on the idea.

I doubt they gave up the idea. SFGAm is the only big SF park without a waterpark so I am sure its an idea that will stay fresh in the executive's minds.

I am sure its a money issue. That is a big expense to build a waterpark from ground up. Trying to convince your lenders that the ROI will be accomplished from a waterpark would also be a hard sell especially when SF is deep in debt as it is.

I am talking about the Six Flags corporation being in debt. A waterpark built from scratch would cost alot more than Superman.

planea380.

Read your last sentence. The first half made no sense.


If the waterpark at SFGAm is included with general park admission, it doesn't matter how many other waterparks spring up in the surrounding areas.

Take a look at PKI. They have a waterpark(included in admission), and there is a giant privately owned waterpark about a mile away from PKI.

Doing what? Including the waterpark with general admission?

If thats what you meant, then yes, I do see Six Flags doing that. They already have other SF properties with waterparks that are included with admission.

I thought that we were supose to be talking about where shockwave will turn up. :roll:

Right now, Shockwave will have a better chance of being put up, instead of a water park. Since Six Flags corp. is in debt all really big projects will be put on hold.

Let the moderators do the moderating.

Shockwave won't be re-installed at SFGAm and most people realize this. A waterpark is something that this park is in dire need of getting. Yes, financial troubles prevent this from happening but if and when a major addition is added, this is the most reasonable thing to do.

Even if you aren't into waterparks, you should still want this to happen. This gives people another thing to enjoy while lowering the lines for the amusement rides.

It is now a fact. Shockwave will be moved to Six Flags New England. It was rumored to have a Superman theme, but the park did not want to waste the theme, so they will be doing a sort of Batman Villian theme. So let's end this conversation now. It is going to Six Flags New England. Bye, Bye Shockwave. They aren't going to put it back up in our park it's leaving!

Why would SFNE be worried about wasting a Superman theme on Shockwave if they already have S:Ros? That doesn't make much sense.

Shockwave's going to England. Is it half their already or has it not even moved from the grass hill. I really wish it would stay in the U.S. :cry: Buy the way, is the Viper at Magic mountain and Great American Scream Machine really rough like Shockwave, because they are around the same age and almost the same exact thing? Just wondering.

GASM is at SFGAdv and it is a great ride. There is hardly ever a line, usually three trains, very smooth and screams "reride". I was never given the chance to ride SW, but I don't see why it couldn't be just as good as it's brother. GASM is an awesome ride.

I don't want to sound like a jerk at all... but how much do you really know about SFNE? Waste the theme? How could they be wasting the theme when they have a whole superhero section counting for almost all the Batman superhereos and the park has S:RoS - The Superman Ride of Steel? I don't believe there would be any room to toss it in there - but hey you never know.
