Saleem Bafoon has orchestrated the contract for SFEC to manage/ operate it. My conjecture is that as the park nears completion, the entities that own it realized that they needed help and Bafoon stepped in. Prior to this announcement, the owners had merely licensed the Six Flags name and would use the company as a consultant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartCat7162 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I will be interested too see how they do staffing there. I know the cost of living there must be astronomical so it will be hard to have "cheap labor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losantiville Mining Co. Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 IIRC the "cheap labor" there is a different kind (putting it euphemistically) than the "cheap labor" here in the States. Forgive me if I'm thinking of the wrong country. The overall working conditions are also a lot different outside the US since they don't have to worry about paying for healthcare out of pocket in the same way we do and their wage systems seem to be a lot different too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue, but with the addition of a windshield I would think no, but I know absolutely nothing about it to be honest. (Here is a picture of the train with the windshield.) I think the windshield will have a very different experience since you will not get that wind in your face so speed I feel will be very different.

BeeastFarmer Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago With the speed and force of the coaster, it makes me wonder how long the windshield will last. Of course the engineers at intamin have designed it such a way that a failure would be unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the windshield will see nowhere near the forces of a strap https://nj1015.com/kingda-ka-broken-strap-inspired-nj-christmas-card/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
