^staticshadows just posted it, throwing the idea out there, and we all commented on it.

...Which is exactly how a forum should work. Throwing an idea out there, and everyone commenting on it.

It's a good idea. I would love to a floorless replace a one-trick-pony flyer.

I think Superman could be better if the ride attendants did a better job at filling it. The wait for the ride is always ridiculously long for no apparent reason other than they're sending the trains out half full. Granted, we generally only ride late at night when the lines are the shortest, but it seems like the trains are always half full. I know they will never be Disney good at filling trains (there is no arguing or choosing you just go where you are told and keep it moving), but I don't see why it has to be so slow.

I really think I would enjoy the ride more if I didn't have to wait so long to ride.

My wish list is for SF to just get better at what they're doing and then add in some new coasters. The lines always seem long and don't move as quickly as they could. Getting a drink refill or food (I swear we HAVE to eat right at 11:30 with our food passes or else it becomes too long) takes entirely too long. A day is spent waiting in lines instead of enjoying rides.

I also think there are a lot of buildings they don't utilize enough. They've sold so many season passes and season food passes, but there aren't enough restaurants to really satisfy everyone. Aunt Marthas and the Pizza place over there only appear to be open during selective hours. Two restaurants in one area down regularly? That is just forcing more people into 1 or 2 areas of the park.

The bathrooms also need to improve. They always stink like a moldy musty mess. The floors are always wet and it's gross in there. I haven't found any of them to even be okay.

Finally, I am curious to see how the new ADA rules will actually pan out. I know what they're trying to do, but will it really help with abuse or will a new work around be found? Abuse of the ride accessibility passes in the past really appear to be rampant. I know not everyone's disability can be physically seen, but I really don't think all of these passes should have been handed out.

I'm actually glad we didn't get Chang/Green Lantern because I hear it's very rough. Now I did read on Ultimate Coaster that if we got Chang there was a rumor it was going to be converted into a floorless coaster.

I rode it last summer and it's not really rough in my opinion. I would say it had more of a vibration. It's hard to call a stand up smooth because of the awkward situation in which you ride one. I would've enjoyed it a lot at SFGAm, and even more if it was converted to a floorless. I like the layout. Oh well :\

^ I should of said that the people who said it was rough and unjoyable were TPR members so I'll take your word over them.

I don't want to go into an anti-TPR rant, but I must say that they have a clear bias toward North America and Asia over European coasters(they essentially own Insane Coaster Wars on TV, so watch that show for a while to see what I mean. A fricken SLC beat out some Euro coasters).

Georgia Scorcher is about the only very smooth B&M standup coaster I can think of. And I will agree about the layout. I also forgot to add that I got a chance to ride Chang back when it was at SFKK. But I can't remember if I enjoyed it or not because that was so long ago.

A lot of enthusiasts online suddenly grow vaginas when it comes to B&M Stand Up coasters. After they're done whining about how brutal they are, they'll turn around and whine about the forcelessness of post-2000 B&M designs.

*shrugs*

Green Lantern felt just fine to me when I rode it in NJ, and was just fine in Kentucky as well.

^That's the Onion, a satirical news site full of fake news stories.

Also, since when did Six Flags have the rights to Fantastic Four?

doesn't work like that, unless they have 20-30 foot tall footers to take the steep terrain into account.

1) Removal of asphalt to improve the park's overall aesthetics. I know you're all with me on this when I say the park will look cleaner without all the asphalt everywhere.

2) Overhaul of some restaurants in the park to be 2 floors for more seating and maybe even balcony style seating.

3) Less or re-positioned smoking areas to be further away from dining areas. Nothing is more satisfying than that smell while you eat.

I honestly don't get this. If there's any kid's area that needs a retheme, it's Kidzopolis. Bugs Bunny Boom Town would fit better in County Fair anyway.

.....And where would all those Maintenance buildings go? Wouldn't matter anyway, I'm sure the park is unable to put any attractions that close to Milwaukee Ave.
