BeastForever Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Many like to criticize Six Flags for what they used to be and not what they are today. For those it's a shame, as they are missing out on the some of the best thrill rides and parks in the world. 7 Quote
Diamondbacker27 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 People on here think its cool to bash six flags and intamin, and a majority has never ridden an intamin coaster or been to a six flags. I highly Agree. 1 Quote

They make some of the best coasters IMO. 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Go work said intamin coasters..That's where I stand with them.. They are great coasters, and they work well, but they are also a pain. Fun rides don't get me wrong, but eh.. Quote
RailRider Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I find it hard to criticize an entire chain of parks or to praise an entire chain of parks. All chains have their strong and weak aspects and some run things better than others. Some chains are more family oriented while others are geared to thrill seekers. We could have this discussion about what if Herschend, Six, Busch, Freestyle Parks, Merlin, and the list goes on. So lets talk about how Freestyle would have sucked the park dry and then gotten the Russians involved or how Herschend would have rethemed the Festhaus in to a Dixie Stampede or finally how Busch would have brought Shamu back to Ohio, because that was such a good idea to begin with. And I could continue... 7 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 One thing I will still forever hate about six flags, just because it causes slow dispatches, looks stupid, and just ridiculous... VISUAL SCAN 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 And where did you see this? Some things are not chain wide, but are state or local requirements. At one time, "You are now locked in" was a required announcement in one of the two Carolinas. Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Oh it's not chain wide....it's at SFGA and I have noticed it on a few rides at SFFT...It's ridiculous..nor does it do anything really... Quote
gad198 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 There are still a number of Six Flags parks that use a variation of the Visual Scan seen at Great Adventure. They just call it the Take 5 at those parks. Six Flags New England, Over Georgia, St. Louis and America have all used those this year on many of their rides. The crew on Prowler at Worlds of Fun even used a variation of this when I was out there a couple of weeks ago. Had me forget I was at a Cedar Fair park for a minute! Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Oh it's not chain wide....it's at SFGA and I have noticed it on a few rides at SFFT...It's ridiculous..nor does it do anything really... What's SFGA? Georgia? (SFOG) Six Flags Great America? (SFGAm) Great Advencha? (Company calls it SFGA, most call it SFGAd) Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 SFGAm...You should know what I meant, you're closer to that park and frequent it more than I do..plus that's where that whole policy originated...they look like total loons doing it, I mean look at this, common lol 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 DC is closer to SFGAm? Really? 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 fffuuuu the acronyms...thinking Adventure...Tis also another six flags thing I hate...you can't really screw up CP, KI, Cali-Adventure, Knotts, ect...too many SF names...like SFOT, and SFFT. Ah well 1 Quote
kblanken Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 ...you can't really screw up CP, Which do you mean: Camden Park or Cedar Point? 5 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Obviously Cedar Point when referring to the rest of the chain in the following part of the sentence Good smartass comment though, was pretty good 1 Quote
