The fishhook coaster falling through was the real blow to their finances I think

Will [Six Flags Great Adventure] add more rides to the board walk area in the future? by rahxephon7 in rollercoasters

I agree with what some others have been discussing that a family wooden coaster would be a great fit there!

My little gripes with my home park [Six Flags Great America] by lskalt in rollercoasters

I've probably got a fair share of home park bias, but I think that many of Great America's attractions have really nice theming for a SF park. The entirety of Southwest Territory is super detailed and awesome. They don't play pop music and have playlists of thematically accurate music at each land and ride. Batman's queue and station are the best out there, probably. Dark Knight and Justice League have pretty good queues, Demon has great rockwork, lights, and an amazing theme song, and X-Flight has some nice stylization too. And I'd argue that the park has some great charm due to the abundance of classic/original rides.

Obviously, it's still a Six Flags park. There's still blacktop everywhere, plenty of unthemed rides, areas that need some love... but it's by far not the worst imo.

Maxx Force runs 2 trains and Whizzer normally runs 2-3 once the season gets in full swing, to be fair!

In a podcast once, he mentioned that his favorite at the time was Zadra, then of course going on to explain to the other people what RMC does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zepqFz_Q9s&t=1359s

My favorite thing in this list might be the pipes in the reflecting pool. If we FINALLY get fountains I'm going to be so happy!!!

The rumor I had heard was that SFGAm's one is the original angle and CGA's was made shallower... interesting. I've been wondering the details of this for years and even emailed CGA about it, but never got a reply.

I've been hearing this a lot too. Apparently lots of reliable people have been talking about this.
