Thoughts on Six Flags 2018 Announcements

By -
On August 31st, Six Flags announced the capital investments going into their parks for the 2018 season. In this article, I will be giving an overview of the additions, along with my thoughts on them!

Six Flags Magic Mountain

Six Flags Magic Mountain will be adding Crazanity! This will be the worlds tallest pendulum ride, standing over 17 stories high! I believe that this will be a great addition for SFMM, as they need more flat rides for their lineup! These pendulum rides are extremely fun, provide great thrills, and are visually appealing! Great to see another thrill ride come to the park after Justice League Battle For Metropolis, a family friendly dark ride.

Six Flags Great Adventure

Six Flags Great Adventure will be adding CYBORG Cyber Spin! This will be an ABC Rides Tourbillon, the first of its kind in America! With 3 axis of spin and brining riders 7 stories in the air, this ride will provide quite the experience for thrill seekers! I am very excited for this ride, and was not expecting it! Actually, I was expecting a SkyWarp, but this is much more exciting!

Six Flags New England

Six Flags New England will be adding HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity! This Zamperla Giant Discovery will stand over 15 stories and swing riders to 120 degrees at speeds of 70 plus mph! I'm looking forward to this attraction, especially since it's at my home park. This will give us another thrilling flat ride, something that is much needed at this park! Very excited by this news!

Six Flags Over Georgia

Six Flags Over Georgia will be adding Twisted Cyclone. This RMC hybrid coaster will be the Georgia Cyclone reimagined! Featuring airtime moments and 3 inversions, this will be a Must Ride! This addition looks amazing! You cannot go wrong with RMC! They're all amazing! My only complaint is that the ride looks to be very short.

Six Flags Fiesta Texas

Six Flags Fiesta Texas will be adding WONDER WOMAN Golden Lasso Coaster, the first of its kind RMC Raptor Coaster! Riders will go up 10 stories, fly through 3 inversions at over 50 mph! I think that this is a great addition for SFFT! I'm expecting this to be an amazing ride, seeing as its an RMC coaster!

Six Flags St. Louis

Six Flags St. Louis announces Typhoon Twister, a new addition to their water park! This slide looks awesome, as it has both a bowl section and a zero-gravity wall! Great Choice!

Six Flags Great America


Six Flags Great America announces the World's Tallest Loop Coaster! This is a Larson Super Loop. This is an ok addition. They are not coasters, but they are fun flat rides and can provide great thrills for the whole family.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom announces HARLEY QUINN Crazy Coaster! The worlds first Skywarp ride! This looks like blast, and I hope to see these at more parks. My only complaint is that they're marketing it as a coaster, when it is, in fact a flat ride.

Six Flags America
Six Flags America's Wahoo River will be a new and improved lazy river attraction. This will be replacing Coyote Creek, their current lazy river, and will be much larger and a lot more fun! This is a cool addition, and is sure to be a hit with guests!

Six Flags Mexico
Six Flags Mexico announced Wonder Woman Coaster! This is Mexico's first 4D Coaster! I think this is a great addition, as I find these S&S Free Spins to be a lot of fun! I hope this one runs like Batman The Ride and not The Joker!

The Great Escape
The Great Escape announces Pandemonium! This new thrill ride is a Chance Freestyle attraction and is sure to provide great fun and thrills for everyone! I'm very excited for this addition. The Great Escape needs more thrill rides, and this is a step towards that!

 La Ronde
La Ronde announces Carnaval En Folie! This seems like a new flat package, and the addition of flat rides is always welcome!

 Six Flags Over Texas

Six Flags Over Texas announces HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity. This will be an ABC Rides Tourbillon, the first of its kind in America! With 3 axis of spin and brining riders 7 stories in the air, this ride will provide quite the experience for thrill seekers! I am very excited for this ride. I do wonder what this means for their current Troika attraction, which is named HARLEY QUINN Spinsanity

 Waterworld
This is a new water play area that will be great for families!

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
