Six Flags Over Texas (SFOT) Discussion Thread

Doesn't look half bad. Of course, this will still be overshadowed by NTXG.

I think it is a great idea. I mean hell in a few years they could even flip a few of the cars each direction. This almost certainly cost a huge amount less to change than Superman at Magic Mountain but will bring attention back to the ride. My only hope is that they spend some money on livening up the building. The last time I was at the park (admittedly 09) it was looking pretty sad.

Hoping to see a similar announcement as well for the version at SFStl for our trip to the MIdwest this Summer in June...I think I had read/heard that was a possibility...its always great to mix things up where possible on these rides and see the public's reaction and whether it makes a large difference...as already stated, SFMM certainly enhanced Superman with the change...

[cedarpointfangirlAgonizing, I drank too much CP Kool Aid]

I am quite excited about this. Mr. Freeze has always been on my top 10 list. I have ridden SFMM's Superman both ways. I have too say that riding it in reverse was awesome. It was a much better ride experience. Thanks Six Flags...super excited!

[samisthabombI know more about donkeys than women!]

This is exciting news! I'm sure it will bring more people to the park if advertised well. I'm glad to see that SFOT is continuing to make improvements to their rides and not just making a change after the New Texas Giant excitement has died. Can't wait to ride it this summer!

[David Hthe ghost seems to think there is a "Donkey Fairy"]

Seems like a no-brainer to me. The company gets to sort of get a new ride for little money. At least, it's a new experience.

You've got to hand it to Six Flags for coming up with new ways to pretend they're getting new rides across the chain without spending much money in them. First, the Bizarros. Then Superman. Now this.

It's kind of like when mom comes up with creative things to do with leftovers.

[SomeotherguyuserI know more about donkeys than women!]

Well, I never got the chance to ride Mr. Freeze when it was still going forward. Oh well.

Since Six Flags is apparently "backwardizing" their rides, at this rate, I could see Roaring Rapids: Reverse River opening up in a few years...

[jps2942 + 2 = donkey!]

^ Six Flags is not that stupid lol! But I can see their boomerang coasters getting the reverse concept!

[VegasCoasterI wrote the book about donkeys!]

Cool to see that they can reinvent a ride with a moderate investment. No flame throwers this time though?

[ArizonaGuyJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

I hope the stations and queue houses at both SFoT and SFStL get a nice refurb as well. I'm assuming they will since the other rehabbed coasters got everything pretty much fixed up as well. I guess time will tell. This is a great idea though. I can't wait to ride.
