hosscat Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It was opening day 2010 and I rushed into the park, I headed straight to the carousel after eating La Rosa's pizza (Yum) Then I was unpleasantly surprised to still see the organ off the carousel. I thought 2010 was going to be the year. Then we checked out Planet Snoopy and come on, it went from hanna barbarra, (I liked it then) to nick, and then to snoopy... in 5 years. I could care less for every ride in that area except for Boo Blasters on boo hill.... What's with the name? (I'm suprised Flight deck wasn't Flight Dick!) The ride itself was great basically saying that they may sell the park... That would be great! Then we headed to The Beast which happily wasn't named Wooden Thrill Roller coaster in 07', plus it ran great and I was very satisfied. The Racer had only 1 car operating and that was bad news... Happily the manager wouldn't give up The Racer's because (I think) It's his favorite coaster, he's ridden it 60 + times before he was the general manager. Let's just hope the best for the SOB. It was very crowded that day so we left soon after but I was very glad The Beast had some TLC, just none on the organ... But It was good to have a ride on The Racer's, and I went to SFGA, and their wooden coaster was awful! The ride hadn't been maintained in years and is (Probably) Comparable to the Wild cat that used to be at Coney Island in Ohio. Kings Island will always have some of the wildest rides, just concerns me about the carousel and the band organ because when it left the carousel it was in fine shape.

Coney Islander Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Paragraphing would make your trip report simpler, and easier to understand. Yes, the Carousel Organ hasn't been working for quite a long time. If I understand correct, you're looking for an old organ? I think you'd have more luck talking with the owners of nearby defunct parks. Cedar Fair, I really doubt you'd get a response. (Unless, of course, you have an outrageous amount of money to spend.)

I could care less for every ride in that area except for Boo Blasters on boo hill.... So you care about every ride in Planet Snoopy at least a little, since you could care less? And Boo Blasters on Boo Hill you couldn't care less about? I see. But It was good to have a ride on The Racer's, and I went to SFGA, and their wooden coaster was awful! The ride hadn't been maintained in years and is (Probably) Comparable to the Wild cat that used to be at Coney Island in Ohio... Rolling Thunder is in much better shape than it looks, and is a fine ride. And how on earth is it comparable to Wildcat at Coney Island? Something tells me you wouldn't have liked Wildcat much. By all accounts, it was a violent, strenuous ride. It's modern day so-called clones, Grizzly at Kings Dominion and Wild Beast (nee Wilde Beaste) Canada's Wonderland, are awesome rides, and they are mere shadows of Wildcat. Every wooden coaster in the Six Flags chain has been maintained...much less not maintained "for years." Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare-to-fly Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Rolling Thunder was a very nice find for me. I'm always excited when I find buzz bars and skid brakes...and especially at a chain park. When I read that, I thought of American Eagle rather than Rolling Thunder...wrong SFGA, but American Eagle is in my top ten coasters.

The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 There is only ONE SFGA. It's in New Jersey! Terp...who points out the conventional abbreviations used by enthusiasts are SFGAd for Great Adventure, SFGAm for Six Flags Great America and SFOG for Six Flags Over Georgia...Corporate has ALWAYS called Great Adventure SFGA internally.

CedarPointer Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It was opening day 2010 and I rushed into the park, I headed straight to the carousel after eating LaRosa's pizza. I was unpleasantly surprised to still see the organ off the carousel. I thought 2010 was going to be the year that it came back. Then we checked out Planet Snoopy and, come on, it went from Hanna Barbara, (I liked it then) to Nickelodeon, and then to Snoopy... in 5 years. I could care less for every ride in that area except for Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. What's with the name? The ride itself was great. Then we headed to The Beast. It ran great and I was very satisfied. The Racer had only 1 train operating, and that was bad news. Let's just hope the best for Son of Beast. It was very crowded that day so we left soon after, but I was very glad The Beast had some TLC, just none on the organ... but It was good to have a ride on The Racer, and I went to SFGA, and their wooden coaster was awful!
