The Joker- Six Flags New England Construction Update

By Anonymous -

We're back with a BRAND NEW construction update for The Joker 4D Free Fly Coaster.
This will be Six Flags New England's "13th" coaster! Thanks to DylanBizarro for allowing us to use his pictures!


Let's start with an overview of The Jokers plot of land. Splashwater Falls is completely gone, and it looks like all of the footers are in place. I expect vertical construction to start within the next few weeks.


Upon further inspection, it seems as if the park has built the control station, which is located directly behind the Candy Cabin.


In the bottom left of this photo, you can see another new building, which looks to be about the same size as the Wicked Cyclone Storm Center gift shop, which leads me to believe that the park will put the enterance and exit near Batman and Crimewave. If they do this, the area from Works and Coldstone, all the way to Hurricane Harbor could become Gotham City, and finish what never got completed in 2008.





 Currently, the park has track for the coaster sitting in the employee lot. It does not appear that there are any supports on the property yet.





In other news, I recently heard a rumor that Mind Eraser could be receiving new trains, in addition to VR. Now, sitting outside of Mind Eraser, in the old Spider location are some wooden crates, which look like they could be holding coaster cars. So maybe SFNE is choosing to refresh all of the South End.


Also, it seems as if The Blitz (Slingshot) is also being relocated. It's currently missing one half a tower.

Also, there is a new construction site located across from Tea Cups that looks to be about the same size as the current Slingshot footprint. Located in the bottom right of the next photo.



Thanks for reading!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
