Six Flags America (SFA) Discussion Thread

I agree the spinning mouse would compliment SFA well. There aren't any though that I could see being rotated except SFOTs or SFFTs as they don't seem to using the terrain as much. This was an image I made and posted over at SfaFans...

As for spinning mouses I could see Great America getting rotating their Ragin Cajun spinner. That would work at SFA as well.

As for a batwing replacement I think the ride needs to be a decent size. Again B&M floorless like Scream would work very well.

That first option would be amazing. That area of the park is pretty dead right about now, and having something there (close to Apocalypse, but with the entrance on the opposite side) would help to bring that whole area back. Maybe throw a SkyScreamer inside that wide turnaround and you've got me sold!

They do need to clean up the Two Face plot before they do anything, really. Just get rid of the station and cut back everything and let it be grass - simple, but they would be able to replace that construction wall with just some low chains, like in Gotham. That, and run that path around Tower of Doom across the train tracks and connect it with the entrance to Gotham. That right there is my life dream.

Fantastic work, there. It looks almost seamless. I actually posted a very similar suggestion a while back. However, my idea had Shipwreck Falls being removed (a bigger, better one would be added to Hurricane Harbor) with a wild-mouse/spinning coaster on that spot, not too far from your spot.

My intentions were solely on filling in the holes where former rides used to be instead of removing other rides. The rendering with pandemonium was where IRON EAGLE R.I.P. and Sky Escaper were and possibly open the path back up that used to lead to the exit of the ship wreck falls bridge.

I wonder, with Apocalypse now at SFA, will the area's pirate theming start to change? Other than the Swinging Boat and the Pirate Boat Swings (are they still there?) there's not much "Piratey" stuff left, other than the food buildings of course. Roar, in my opinion, has no real theme to it and could easily go along with Apocalypse's theme.

[coasterfreak101Gimme Some Candy!]

^Yes, those little mini-swings are still there. And if changing themes means more fire...change the theme!

^^I would love for that path to open back up, but I believe that they're using those buildings for office space or that area for an employee cafeteria or something. Not positive, but that could be why they closed it a few years ago. I do miss it though, it was the quickest way back to Gotham!

Added an image of Scream replacing Batwing above.

I don't mind the pirate themed rides but I feel as though Pirates Flight (flying boat ride) is out of place now... I feel like they need to switch Pirates Flight with Cyclone (scrambler) which is in front of Ship Wreck Falls.

^ I like that idea!!! I feel like it would fit a lot better that way.

I love the first idea of having Pandemonium in that spot! It looks perfect, at first I couldn't even tell it was fake. The second idea would be a good, lower-budget option. I have to be honest, I'm not fond of the last one. If Batwing does get removed, I hope they build a newer coaster somewhere else. That area is so flat and plain, it doesn't need a coaster. I would focus on filling up gaps and developing land.

If I were in charge, I would do this; paint the drop tower (I don't know the name) a more appealing color. I would also landscape better and replace asphalt with pavers. I would also build a Skyscreamer where Two-Face used to be. That whole area is awful looking, along with near Joker's Jinx and Superman. They need a lot of work...

It's called Tower of Doom. I wouldn't change the color. However, although I've never had a problem where TOD is currently, I think it would be cool if SF moved it nearer to Apocalypse, considering they share somewhat of a similar theme. Besides, the area where TOD is located is one of the most annoying dead ends in the entire park, especially when you have to wait for the train to pass.
