Guest rcfreak339 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Screamscape is reporting that Chang could be moved to Six Flags Great America in 2011, whats your alls insight on this? I say this is just completely false. Why would Six Flags move a 14 year old stand up to a park that already has a stand up and doesn't even have the room to build one? It doesn't make much sense.
KingCobra Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Unless they take out Iron Wolf, it makes no sense, and almost less sense for Kentucky Kingdom. To me, Chang was the best coaster that the park has to offer and that moving it could be a killer to the park.
gigacoaster2k Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Screamscape bases their "facts" on rumors. It is essentially the tabloid of the roller coaster news world. Here is my usual reply to their "latest updates:" "I'LL BELIEVE THAT WHEN MY S*** TURNS PURPLE, AND SMELLS LIKE RAINBOW SHERBET!"
Diamondback FOF Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I'm pretty sure if your $h!^ turned, purple, that would be a very bad sign... Also, you still don't believe Dimaondback actually happened because I'm pretty sure the first option didn't . And, I don't know, I read Screamscape some and some of it does happen to come true. But, just as much never comes true. And hey, Lance says most things are just rumors, so... I believe he even said that about Chang. But, he does claim Planet Snoopy fo rKI is confirmed.
CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Kentucky Kingdom would be dead with Chang. That amusement park is very small and not many rides but Chang is one of their main attractions, right? I doubt they would take it away.
Guest rcfreak339 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 You really need to have been to Kentucky Kingdom to really understand that if you take out Chang it would screw up the park layout. Bad.
CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 What do you mean by the layout? I do know it only has what, 6 coasters, 5 of which are thrills? That would be terrible if there were only 4 rides to go on all the time!
violakat03 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I think the park could survive without Chang. It has other coasters and it's not right smack in the middle of the park. In fact, T2 usually has a longer line, at least it has on both times I've visited, whereas Chang has been a complete walk-on even with it's single train operation. Anyway. I'll believe it when I see it. I find it very hard to believe that Chang would go to Great America, where they already have a B&M standup that isn't all that popular.
CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 What's Great America's stand up coaster? And I don't know much about KK, but I know already I wouldn't have much fun there. The coasters there just don't look very good to me. Not about how many coasters there are, but none of them look too exciting.
The Interpreter Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 As has been said, the stand-up at Six Flags Great America is Iron Wolf, an early B and M. To say it is less than comfortable is to be kind. And you need to ride Whizzer and Viper.
TTD Maverick Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 No, but the park is in danger. Stand Up's stink in general and SFKK is a stinker in their line up.
CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Kentucky Kingdom will be the next to go in the Six Flags franchise. I think the waterpark would probably stay though. That looks like a cool place.
TTD Maverick Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Kentucky Kingdom will be the next to go in the Six Flags franchise. I think the waterpark would probably stay though. That looks like a cool place. True that. SF has several stinkers in terms of "big sellers" The big babies -- Great Adventure and Magic Mountain, SF over Georgia. The stinkers: Kentucky Kingdom, Discovery Kingdom (cool place though), St Louis. I love Flags though. Best management in the business. VERY Courteous staff, delicious gourmet food, and clean as can be. (lmao)
The Interpreter Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 What was supposedly funny about that?
CincyMan98 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Lol yeah you said LMAO! And what's so great about Six Flags Over Georgia? How is that one of the big places?
The Interpreter Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Under the new management, I have encountered nothing BUT courteous staff, clean parks and yes, quite frankly, gourmet food compared to much of that served by other chains, such as Cedar Fair. I'd put Carnegie Deli at Great Adventure up against anything at Breakers at Cedar Point. Any day.
gigacoaster2k Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 And I don't know much about KK, but I know already I wouldn't have much fun there. The coasters there just don't look very good to me. Not about how many coasters there are, but none of them look too exciting. I was told over and over by many that SFKK was a junk park and wasn't worth visiting. When Kat (violakat03), Tom (Tom76257) and I went in July, we had a great time. Park operations were friendly and interacting with the guests, the park was clean, all food places were open, and all rides minus Twisted Twins were running. The three of us very much enjoyed our visit to SFKK. Don't judge a book by its cover. That will get you nowhere in life.
TTD Maverick Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 What was supposedly funny about that? Terpy's out to get me now, it may seem. It was a joke because Six Flags does NOT have any parks like that.
The Interpreter Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Which is utter rubbish. Six Flags has MANY nice parks. How many Six Flags parks have you been to and when?
DropZone99 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I don't believe the rumor, but if it was relocated to a new park than I'm sure the trains would be modified to be sit down. Kinda funny, one day last summer I was thinking if SFKK was to close down than where would each coaster go. I put Chang at SFOT and gave it sitdown or floorless trains, and it was named Bizarro and all the effects the other two Bizarro's have.
The Interpreter Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 It should be noted in passing that Lance also speculates that Chang's removal would be accompanied by a massive expansion of the existing waterpark at Kentucky Kingdom. . .

The waterpark is the main draw there, and if hardly anyone is rideing the rides, why spend the money them? When you could be making Splashwater Kingdom better which is already the main draw. If this happens I would be sad, but also excited. If this happens Splashwater Kingdom would be one of the best waterparks in North America.

It does not deserve it, if you have never been you have really no right to bash the place. It's a little great park thats worth visiting.
TTD Maverick Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Which is utter rubbish. Six Flags has MANY nice parks. How many Six Flags parks have you been to and when? 4 months ago I went to America, it was NOT clean and the food, trust me, was anything but gourtmet. 1 year ago, Magic Mountain, food sucked, trashy workers, and the park wasn't very clean. There's two, sorry I offended you; but many (doubt people agree with me now ON THIS FORUM, because you disagree) find all the things I mentioned terrible. I have nothing against the parks; it was a simple joke that everyone went crazy over. I'm sick of this. I was being funny and it turns out to be blown way out of proportion.

If this happens I would be sad, but also excited. If this happens Splashwater Kingdom would be one of the best waterparks in North America. If it's one of the most profitable why are they considering closing it? Geez, I really am confused at your logic. If it was one of the most profitable, they would be adding new coasters (not the waterpark here) and new rides often like at Magic Mountain. Now I know I'm going to get banned, so thanks everyone for getting mad at my joke.
SOB_TOM Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Hey Maverick, I think you need to go to the hospital really soon to get rid of the stickupyourbuttitis you have, and replace it with a healthy dose of respectoids. As for my opinion, I think KK is safe for this simple reason: Six Flags does not own the land of that park, that is state fairground property. So if Six Flags is to get out of their lease, nothing would change, it would just be owned by the state fairgrounds and not SF.
TTD Maverick Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 I don't know how that joke is appropriate but mine isn't. Never have. Never will. And I don't know much about KK, but I know already I wouldn't have much fun there. The coasters there just don't look very good to me.

Food places can be open but that doesn't mean food is good. lol Come on. I'm getting people yell at me here for this when I've heard people in other threads say the same thing.
Diamondback FOF Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 It should be noted in passing that Lance also speculates that Chang's removal would be accompanied by a massive expansion of the existing waterpark at Kentucky Kingdom. . . Also, that was rumored before the Chang removal, so that may happen even if Chang stays. I just want to add that with the rumored Chang removal, it is supposedly part of a huge plan. Six Flags is supposedly considering giving serveral of its parks little 'gifts' in the form of a ride rotation. So, the same may happen with other rides at other parks. Everything in this post is just rumors.
vortexfan Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Under the new management, I have encountered nothing BUT courteous staff, clean parks and yes, quite frankly, gourmet food compared to much of that served by other chains, such as Cedar Fair. I'd put Carnegie Deli at Great Adventure up against anything at Breakers at Cedar Point. Any day. I agree. I was at Six Flags Great America two weeks ago and the park was absolutely spotless and staff was very friendly.
KIfan1980 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Come on. I'm getting people yell at me here for this when I've heard people in other threads say the same thing. TTD - I'm going to try and be helpful and constructive. If you want your opinions to be heard and your jokes to be taken as such on this site, you will need to build up a little credibility first (via content of your posts not number of your posts). Unfortunately, your first 100+ posts have come across as intentionally argumentative, poor jokes, and/or not adding to the topic by many of the other users. This has caused many to label you as a troll (both in writing and in their minds). If you want to be argumentative and get people to yell at you - I'd politetly request you to do it somewhere else. If you want to be a valued member of the forums - I'd suggest you slow down on the jokes, stop and think before you press the "Add Reply" button, and only do so when your response adds to the conversation. 1
