Six Flags really needs to get rid of SSA... it's not even really a motion simulatior any more... have you ridden it lately? The bumps are jarring and have no corralation to the movie whatsoever. Dino Island was worlds better.If they were to move it out but keep it, they need to make a more generic building. That was, they could do a little themeing and change the show yearly... give people a reason to keep coming back.

The movement never was anything more than random shaking, anyways. (Well, it's the same routine of random shaking every run, not a new random shake every run.)

I think they should tear down space shuttle america. In the place of that i think that they should put in a cool wild mouse type coaster, Or they can put in a water coaster would be cool to.

It's time for great am to build something else to match bull's credibilty. Now im not saying that S:UF and v2 or Deja Vu aren't great rides but it seems to me they could use another medium to large layout coaster. Maybe Medusa East clone or even a normal B&M sit down. Really theres only one normal sit down looper in the whole park now.

Nouseforaname getting one of those rides would be nice but Jim Wintrode is going to install unique rides. He is out to make a park with the most unique rides in it.

Yeah I see your point but really if he wanted a very unique park why build he choose to build 3 clones over 3 years?

Because Six Flags told him so, and there is a story behind Superman. I could care less if we get clones or not, I want a Kraken clone, complete with pond next to the first drop! But that will never happen...

Planet Krypton was going to explode. Nobody listened, so one baby was sent off to planet Earth in a small rocketship. It crash landed, and he was found by the Kent family. He grew up, went to Metropolis, and worked at the Daily Planet where he met Lois Lane. There is the story behind Superman :lol:

I knew that story already. 8) .I thought you meant a different story. I never really liked Superman until I saw Smallville. That is a good show. :wink:

I think that they should take out the space shuttle america and the go-carts and in place of that I think its about time for them to put in a B&M Floorless coaster. We need another big 200 foot caoster that goes upside down with no floor. I think that would be great. What do you guys think about that?

We do if you want to count Raging Bull. Your feet don't go all the way down to the floor.

You mean thats only if you're not exceptionally tall. I'm over 6' (not by much) but my feet are no where near the floor. It's kind of a saftey feature. That way you can't force yourself up to enhance floater air, therefore it would be next to impossible to slip out of reclined bucket seat with a giant end table-sized thing on your lap.

You know after riding Space Shuttle America today I can say I hate it, but the smiles and laughs of the kids said otherwise. There WAS a line for it today and most people liked it. I thought it was cheesy with HBO adds in it. I dont see them removing this ride anytime soon. Its good where it is and I dont think you can fit a new coaster in there without ripping out a large chunck of parkinglot. If you dont like it dont ride it I always say.

I remember in '94 when it first opened I was 5 and I was so excited to go on it. I really loved it back then. But, now I don't really care for it. I agree I don't think they will tear it down any time soon because the younger people enjoy the ride.
