Minor Updates, Rumors, and Happenings

Not sure how long this has been present, but it looks like there was some new Twin Snakes wrapping on American Eagle's blue train

Does anyone know why Roaring Rapids is closed for the season? Also according to ride status page King Chaos is closed for maintenance.

Fright Fest, they probably just closed it early due to low staff or something

East River Crawler will be Renamed to "The Lobster" in 2017.

^Should be placed in 2017 since it's not a 2016.

Wish it would get a new color scheme too.

[JaminOut]

It's probably going back to its original red.

The hub looks blue to me. Still excited that it'll return to it's old name!

Did anyone hear about Six Flags America getting a bomb threat?

Alright, here's what's going on at the park:

-Orbit is pretty much gone. I think the hub might still be there, but otherwise, it's gone. Cars are currently in Employee lot by Train Storage.
-ERC's cars and arms that connect to the individual cars are gone. Like said earlier, I think the ERC cars are by Condor, but the car arms are at the back of Pumpkin King's area.
-JWR is still there
-Triple Play might be getting a new exit. I don't have a pic, but it's to the left of the entrance, between it and the Train Station ramp. I think it's been there for a while now, not sure why they haven't opened it up yet(btw, you can see it from Google Maps).
-Nothing new at the Joker area(aside from the ERC arms I mentioned before. However, I did notice that there were some footer-like objects in the back of the employee lot. Although I doubt they're for Joker.
-There are life-size models of Batman and Harley Quinn at X-Gear(both the modern kind).
-Not too much of a park update, but when I rode ROTG, my headset was stuck in the station the whole time. It did actually move in a circle around my 'neck' as the train turned. Turns out, they actually did model the back of the Helicopter, which is nice.

I think that's about it.

General comment here, I think this forum was useful this year. Hope there's a 2017 one.

We should just make a "minor updates thread" so we can use it every year, same with new rides

The one from last year didn't have a date. Just re-use that one

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

So after looking at the new FF Map, I noticed a few things.

1) Some minor buildings/rides seem to have gotten new art. They look a fair bit better in my opinion.

2) It seems that a new Coke Stand will be coming next year. However, they are NOT putting it next to Joker, but rather next to Claimjumper's Chicken where the Sno Cone stand was:



3) It looks like Mardi Gras will get a new stage. It looks to be a lot more modern, much like Wilderness Theater:



Maybe it means that Mad Cap Mardi Gras will finally leave? And it also looks like SF Outfitters will be staying.

Not sure if it means that both will be ready by FF, or if someone screwed up, but now we know 2 of the things that the park will announce at No Coaster Con!

I'm glad Jester's isn't gone forever, I wonder if it'll get a gravestone or not now.

Kind of sucks that Cajun's station is being removed (Though Obvious). It was probably the nicest looking structure in Mardi Gras

They could've made it into a joker joke shop facade.

Isn't the Joker going to go right through the location of the station?
