Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

^ As much as I would like to see those on Flashback, I don't think it will happen as that design just screams "Never in America". If we are lucky we might see new trains from Premier or KumbaK in its new home.

Never in America? Like this:



Or this:



Or, even better yet - this:

[Arrow Dynamics fanShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

If they are adding a coaster in the area coastercrutchfield outlined, they should've spared Texas Chute-Out as it is a classic and is very rare. With Flashback, I don't care if it goes to the scrapyard, the world is better with one less boomerang.

Agreed 100%!

The Flashback rumor has been floating around here for a while now, and I've honestly not cared for it anyhow. I've ridden it maybe twice in all the years it's been there, so like most everyone else, it's no real loss. I wish Texas Chute Out's demise could at least be put off for another season. My daughter is 2 and not quite tall enough this year, but we were planning on taking her next year and I'm certain she would LOVE that ride. Both my boys love it and it would be nice for her to be able to experience a classic that I grew up with. It sucks, but it's the nature of the business.

Good-bye (good riddance?) Flashback.
RIP Texas Chute Out.
I just hope we get something worthy to replace them.

Aw, another classic ride gone! I just hope that Six flags Great Adventure's Parachutes isn't leaving anytime soon.

^I agree, I need to head over to Great Adventure to get a ride on one before they are all extinct..

Six Flags over Texas needs another real coaster. Mr. Freeze is the only thing that excites me there anymore. Never cared for Titan, NTAG is just ok for me, Batman inverts are just lame at this point but Mr Freeze still packs a punch. I would love to see an Apollos Chariot type of coaster there or a true woodie but I doubt they will go the wooden route or even another coaster for a few years.

A person with El Toro as their avatar wants a "true woodie" to be built? I find that refreshing. Haha. I think SFOT has a strong arsenal of very dynamic coasters. Batmans may be a dime a dozen but they are still great coasters, I love Titan, Giant is a strong ride, Shock Wave is pretty wild in back and yes Freeze is fantastic. Bobsleds are also pretty great. After riding Xflight at SFGAm I'm a fan of the wing coaster concept in Arlington but I don't want to see a clone.

[CpBluestreakCpDon't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

^^They don't really need an Apollo's Chariot "type of ride", they have Titan. Sure, it's a different company but they are both hyper coasters. Unless you just like they way B&M makes hypers better, I dunno but I don't think SFoT needs anything Apollo esque.

But, a nice new wood coaster or wing rider would fit nicely here.

So, SFOT JUST got a crazy new coaster and yet your already whining about how they should add another? I don't know about would, but I would kill to have a coaster like Ntag in California, the thing looks insane! But not only that, but you have Mr. Freeze, Titan, and Shockwave which are all very well received rides.

[UberBeavisDonkeys are my way of life!]

I can't wait- just printed the boarding passes, and we'll be at SFoT Tuesday and Wednesday. Guess I'll have to hop on Texas Chute Out to say goodbye.
