bkroz Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 And interestingly, there was absolutely no mention of "standing-up," or being a "stand-up" coaster (which is typically a standing-coaster's real selling point, and the thing that marketing just can't say enough about)... Perhaps things are CHANGing more than we thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillsberry123 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm going to doubt that this isn't Chang. 121 foot tall loop, dive loop, and inclined loop are identical to Chang. Not to mention the 154 foot tall height and 63 mph speed. Maybe they're saving the fact that this is a stand-up until they start advertising on a bigger level.

I think GYK was referring to the possibility of Change/Green Lantern being converted into a sit down coaster. I too found it very interesting that they didn;t mention it being a stand up coaster but my first and lasting thought was that stand ups were a fad and probably don't have the drawing power that other types do. David, who does not pretend to understand what the general public thinks of stand up coasters... and also loves Mantis (that's right, Mantis) as long as I'm on the left side and especially a few rows from the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini_Cooper Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Go to Great Adventure's site. They already have information up about it. If anyone is wondering, the answer is yes: there are some CHANGes coming to SFGA. I hope that the "Green Lantern" has been restored to CHANGe the way it looks.

bkroz Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 http://www.sixflags.com/greatAdventure/rides/greenlantern.aspx And yes, it is a standing coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 http://www.sixflags....eenlantern.aspx And yes, it is a standing coaster. No it isn't. At least not at the moment. It's not standing AND not operating...NSNO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 According to the Six Flags link shared above, Green Lantern "delivers a ride experience unlike any other" I'd be willing to bet that the ride experience is somewhat like what Chang used to offer.

The Interpreter Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 But that wouldn't be an other ride experience, now would it? Just the same one, different place? But if you don't buy that, then it is an other experience, right? So, either way, the statement is correct. Unlike the coaster count...for some reason they don't want to say 13? 13 -1 +1 = 13. At least it did when I was in school. But they say 12... Unless, of course, something else is going to disappear soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephatron Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm going to take an educated guess and say that "an experience like no other" is aimed towards people who may not know that the new coaster is Chang. I do dig the new green track, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 And towards people that have never ridden Chang. The ride was a short trip up the interstate from me and I have never even seen it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hopefully, one day that will changE. Terp, never one to tire of bad puns...oh, wait...I hear the rolling thunder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Also, as the Maple Grove blog ends, Six Flags starts a new one. Today, about the new rides to be at GAd and StL: http://blog.sixflags.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
