LOL

Glad to see it running again!

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on February 4th, 2007, 1:41 pm

I had no idea it was closed. Wow. Good thing its back up and running.

Thats good at least we have a 4d coaster up and running. I wish that Cedar Fair would put one in one of their parks.

Technically according to Six Flags it was the Lift Gearbox. Even though it's a load of bull.

In other news, Ninja is getting painted.

/\ Before /\ (picture from Americacoasters.com)

/\ Now /\ (pictures from Top Thrill Dragster on the Theme Park Review boards)

Since last year so far Revolutions loop and helix have been painted, Sky Tower fully painted/rehabbed/opening, portions of Riddlers Revenges supports painted, Orient Express extensive rehab/opening, Jet Stream new entrance, portions of Log Jammer painted, extensive rehab/opening of Freefall/on the market, and removal announcements of Psyclone and Flashback.

They've been up and down and im sure their far from where they want to be, but they have taken some big strides.

Awesome. Good to know X'll be open when I go back.

by **Trailblazer Tony** on February 5th, 2007, 7:56 pm

^Yeah, Ninja definitely needs a new paint job having seen those pictures. This is GREAT news that X is back up, lets just hope it's still up and running over the summer, cause supposedly, that's our family vacation this year! And to comment on Sfgam07's post, I definitely agree that they are doing a great job improving the park. The addition of this new train ride is also a nice step towards a better park!

Wow. A worthwile paintjob that doesn't suck. Cool.

Glad to see things are getting better at SFMM.

by **FParker185** on February 5th, 2007, 10:21 pm

if it keeps going in that direction, one day in the very near future, SFMM will be a park worth visiting again.

by **Director_Guy** on February 5th, 2007, 10:23 pm

Tony, if you go to SFMM, get there early and run to X first. You'll want to spend the fifteen minutes in line instead of 2-4 hours. It fills up FAST. Then do Flash Pass for the big rides except for Scream!

by **[jonrev]** on February 5th, 2007, 10:41 pm

Ninja probably needed that paint the most.

Is Scream still smooth?

by **Director_Guy** on February 7th, 2007, 1:15 am

^The line or the ride?

Yes to both.

and by big rides I mean Goliath, Riddler's, Tatsu, Vu (if it has it), and Batman. The rest will prolly have a shorter wait.

by **Trailblazer Tony** on February 7th, 2007, 10:49 pm

^Thanks for the advice, when the time comes, i'll know who to go to
