The Interpreter Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Principal Backs Off Warnings; NO Evidence There Even Was A Rumor: http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/26878923/suitland-high-school-principal-backs-off-warning-of-possible-violence-at-six-flags-this-weekend Attendance at SFA Fright Fest was already markedly down. I'm sure this didn't help these final two weekends.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Quote from the article: "I hope that people can see that what happened was not a normal situation,” Ross said. “If they've been here, they know what a great place this is to have fun.” I know a few people that have been, none have mentioned it as a "great place to have fun". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If they remove "great" and "to have fun," then yeah, I totally agree. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 I've lived here nearly two years now. I have a Six Flags Gold pass for 2015, and did for 2014 and 2013. I love Wild One. It's one of the best wooden coasters in the country. I live 17 miles away. I've been there once since I moved here. Late last season. I've not been back. That should tell you something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Wild One and Roar are both excellent coasters, I doubt I will ride them again. I have the added excuse of distance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I'm still wondering what effect this has had on attendance at Six Flags Great America. Knowing how many people already think various rides closed because people died, I wouldn't be too surprised if some of the general public got "Six Flags America" and "Six Flags Great America" mixed up as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Or any Six Flags park for that matter. Rarely do I hear the general public refer to each park by the 2nd part of the name. Usually, its just 'Six Flags'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luff Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In general, the older population refers to SFGam as Great America, and the younger refers to it as "Six Flags" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 The exceptions are Great Adventure and Magic Mountain, which locals typically refer to by those names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
