malem Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 More Cincinnati Union Terminals Sally Justice League dark ride(s) and S&S Freespin coaster(s) appear likely once again. Hopefully we don't see more Larson Fireballs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I believe SFMM and SFoG have had plans leaked that they're getting Justice League rides (I forget what my source was). Same goes for what I heard of SFGAm possibly getting a S&S Freespin. I'm crossing my fingers hard that RMC doesn't touch Boss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If SFSTL is lucky they might get a few gallons of Weed-B-Gone in next years budget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If SFSTL is lucky they might get a few gallons of Weed-B-Gone in next years budget. Even better-ditch the VR on Ninja-less than the cost of weed killer! Seriously, though, Snyder needs to send some nickels out that way. The park could use them.

King Ding Dong Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 These guys are essentially in charge of SIX- Link Yes but he is Executive Chairman. Would imagine he has input into the budget and overall strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 honestly, I REALLY hope he does the announcement video this year, if he doesn't i'm going to be sad! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone needs to worry about The Boss getting RMCed, beyond them hammering some nails back in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Looks like SFSTL will get a disk-o ride Source Source 2 I've also seen this floating around on a few coaster Facebook pages so I don't think it's fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 He's been kicked upstairs while he gently eases out. His literal absence there speaks volumes. Change is coming. Again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I knew at least one park would get an S&S Freespin, but 3? A little bit out of left field from what I was expecting. The water coaster going to SFFT looks cool. Also, did anyone else zone out when John was speaking? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 1. John Duffy is not the announcement type. 2. I realize this is Six Flags and I shouldn't expect too much originality, but is it ever going to end? Even if they want each park to have a freespin or a Sally dark ride, why can't they change up the themes a bit? What's the purpose of the same exact thing in every park? At least the new Starflyer and pendulums have different names. 3. I've thought this for years, but I wish Six Flags would let each park announce their own attractions like Cedar Fair does. They can still have them all on the Thursday before Labor Day, just separate. It'd allow for much more personality, originality, and excitement. These dull, under five minute announcement videos for thirteen unique parks just don't cut it. Sorry for the rant. I just want to see more from SIX, which is kind of strange I guess considering I've never even been to one of their parks. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I also see that DC is being more involved in the naming of attractions in trying to get their name out there in conjunction with the DCCU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is the CEO of the company such as Greg Scheid is the GM of Kings Island. Greg is NOT a public speaker AT ALL, but with announcements like these one needs to expect them to make a speech. 2. You do realize CF does the SAME thing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenageninja Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The Joker "coasters" look pretty cool, but the capacity looks horrendous. 720 per hour probably maximum. Never would work at KI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 seems very underwhelming. I would have thought that there would be 1 "knock your socks off" coaster addition at one of their 13 parks. The SS free spins look neat, but as mentioned above, terrible capacity and its not unique to any 1 particular park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
