Sorry. I had to gloat. I'm not usually like that. Its just. Well. You should have seen the way some of you acted.

Yea god forbid people question what is dictated to them without any proof. Yes you were right, but doesnt negate the fact that you are still acting like you are a 14 year old punk on the comments section of youtube trying to start flame wars with everyone that does not agree with you.

I was right. David was wrong. All that matters. Same with you BP/19. Pathetic.


EDIT: Sorry. I had to gloat. I'm not usually like that. Its just. Well. You should have seen the way some of you acted. We all told you its been confirmed but would have gotten in trouble. Now its 100% confirmed.

YOU SIR IS THE ONE WHO JUST DENIED THAT CHANG WAS COMING!! YOU FAIL! Why don't you just leave? Go to some great adventure forum. It's really immature how your acting, really just leave.

No one ever doubted you. We are telling you you need to shut up and leave because you posted the same thing over and over and over again, bashing other people on the forums and saying stupid crap. I even said I think GASM would be removed but there is ZERO proof still regarding Chang being moved to GADv.

You are just being a troll. You just come in here to spout random BS to provoke other users. I will believe Chang is going to GADv when I see track, trains or some sort of meeting or announcement regarding it. But until then everything is rumor still as the track is STILL at SFGAm as well as the trains.

Agreed. Doesn't matter whether or not you were right, you treated our members like pieces of garbage and didn't respect anyone who didn't share your opinion. I don't care if certain people on the board aren't correct all the time, what I care most about is that we RESPECT each other, and I haven't seen this kind of crap since I joined when I was 14. Fourteen year olds respect each other better than this. Take your "victory" and leave.

Oh, and how does one who comes to another forum only to gloat in the first place get away with calling others fanboys? What are you? I know its the internet which makes it a lot easier to argue since nobody can talk back right away, but your arguments are laughable. I'd love to see you in real life and tear your arguments apart in an actual debate. Go try and destroy another forum, as we try to pick ours back up.

I've been lurking this forum for a good year or so now, and finally decided to join. I'm not really upset that we didn't get Chang, I didn't really want it in the first place. I definately think that our park needs a new coaster, but I feel that standups are outdated, and would rather have something else. I would also like to say that I don't feel jealous if Chang ends up at GAdv, what I don't like is that they're tearing down Scream Machine to replace it. I feel that GASM is a much more fun and intense ride, but that's just my opinion.

You're right, when I was talking about the replacement, that's why I said IF Chang replaces GASM. I would be happy enough if Chang stayed here, but I personally would rather see a different type of ride than Chang. I think it's an unrealistic idea that they would convert Chang to floorless, but if they did I'd be a lot happier with it coming to our park than I would with it as a standup. This is why I'd prefer a different coaster over Chang, but trust me, I'll be 100% satisfied with ANY new coaster at this point. 8)

Ok. I clicked on that link, and this is what I get

5

But, I did see the post from onyxhotel08 a few posts after that, and then went to the main page for SFGAdv on facebook, and saw lots of comments on its removal, and followed the link to the removal contest.

While we now have confirmation that GASm is leaving, there is still no confirmation that Chang will be its replacement. We will have to see how that pans out, as well as when SFGAdv will announce what will replace it.

Keep in mind that parks may not replace an attraction right away. Take SFGAm for example. Deja Vu's spot was empty a full season. Splash Water Falls area is STILL empty. So, just because something is leaving, that does not guarantee that something will fill that spot in the next season. Just trying to keep things in perspective here is all. I for one will be watching to see how this all turns out for SFGAdv, as well as what they will get in that spot.

EXACTLY. Coasters and attractions get removed all the time. Majority of that time they are NOT replaced right away. What we have is Chang pieces at our park. As of now, they do not. We have room already. They won't for another 2-3 months. Which puts Chang's potential construction in jeopardy. Or at least behind schedule. Chang, no matter where it ends up, needs construction to begin by October-November. Possible? Yes. Very tight? Yes. It is also possible we still get Chang for 2011 and they get a kids section or some flat. GASM can be replaced by anything. Not just Chang.

Brian and Onyx make great points. I for one still believe we are the most likely park to get Chang for right now, since we're the only park to have pieces of the ride on site. It'll definately be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure!

Hey guys, Scream Machine will close July 18 to make room for a major new attraction in 2011

That was a direct quote from Six Flags Great Adventure's Facebook page said by Six Flags Great Adventure so some kind of attraction will take its place next year. I don't know if it's Chang or not though, only time will tell.

What is a Great Adventure Fanboy doing on a Great America site anyway?

Trollin'.

Anywho. I saw Chang today. As in the piece of track. If I'm not mistaken I could have sworn I saw a few flanges type connecter thingamadoodles. Or something blue that looked like steel. Could someone look next time when on Eagle.

Staircase is still there. Sooo...

That blue was there, and I swear there was a bit more. Can't anyone get any closer or anything?

I have a feeling Great Adventure will wind up with Chang :| . I wonder if we'll ever get a new major ride again.Maybe there is something huge in the works for 2012? Like a dive machine (just kidding) :lol:
The Mr. Six at the park is REALLY creepy

There might have been. Keep in mind that was taken on June 20th and today is now July 6th so there is a gap from when I took that picture and from when you looked back at the track yesterday.

I am going to try to get a better picture when I go again but I can't guarantee it will come out any clearer. I might go again this weekend, but I have to see if any friends are up for heading out there.

Do not be so negative. After all, we are talking about a 13 year old stand up.
