It has an awesome lighting package.  I think I've only ridden it once though.

I like it but only rode it once at SFNE. To much overshadows it. At TGE it’s more of a go to with the lack of true thrill rides.

It's an ok attraction I've been on plenty of inverting rides that are more enjoyable or simply better attractions. I have only been on it a couple of times. It's not worth waiting for and on most of my trips, no one else in my group wants to ride it.

I agree that it's a bigger ride at TGE but the extreme noise it produces takes a lot away from the park.

I wonder how long these rides will last at the six flags parks. We know they keep getting added, but still shocking Great Adventure got rid of theirs so quickly . I never see lines for them, once in a blue moon if it is crazy busy there is a little line. I agree it does take away from the park with the loud noise

I think they underestimated the intelligence of the guests they marketed a ride found at most carnivals as a coaster and figured they would eat it up.

We never rode it but I can see how some folks may have enjoyed it.  SF counting these things as a coaster was always a joke.  It will be interesting to see what actually goes into that spot.

Scrambler would look okay there.

With a push for all parks to downside rides I can see why they opted for this. The store damage just made it that much easier. Scrambler being moved over there is an interesting option. works OK with a 50's area could have fun with a new paint scheme.

Thought how unlikely is it that this area might be left open. You have a small food stand and stands in the Rockville area with limited seating so This plot would open up a lot of seating and seating costs much less to operate then a ride.

I heard it’s being replaced with the larger model used at SFOT and SFGAm.

Saw that rumor in another thread.  Pointed out that a larger model of a n average ride is still an average ride.
