Chiller Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Maybe Chang will be called Great American Scream Machine. They still haven't taken down the sign, usually that is the first thing to go when a ride is removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipiomask Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Maybe Chang will be called Great American Scream Machine. They still haven't taken down the sign, usually that is the first thing to go when a ride is removed. I visited the park yesterday, and they took down the signs inside the station that said "Welcome to The Great American Scream Machine" and stuff like that.

ThemeParkRider Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Removal is really random. Sometimes you'll go and nothing had changed since the last visit, and sometimes it is almost completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scipiomask Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 On Saturday I saw a huge dust cloud from the deconstruction area - I think they took down a piece of track during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hot Dog Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 heres something i just realized, maybe you guys can guess, whats the coralation of the day the scream machine closed have to do with another coaster that was once in our park, the day that scream machine closed was 7-18? what other big event happened on 7-18? Ding ding! Got it -- the opening of the upper loop of Lightnin' Loops in 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that1stdropsadoozy Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Any word on what's to be done with the last remaining loop? Wait, it's still there right? It'd be amazing if they left it as a memorial. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that1stdropsadoozy Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Lol- thanks warnerleroy, i just found this. It's too bad that they don't give GASM the credit that she deserved... I mean, she was the first coaster ever with Dual Diagnostics, right? (Please, correct me if I'm wrong)... So many innovations made, it's a shame that she went to scrap instead of going to another park. Also, I'm always looking for old videos, photos, personal encounters with her if you know of any. GASM obsessed =) and the award for most interesting name is that1stdropsadoozy! and no, the loop was demolished about 2 weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 For anyone who wants to look back and remember GASM, it is featured in the movie Morning Glory (in theaters now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 In a very ironic twist, I recently went food shopping and found a can of baked beans with a free six flags ticket offer (buy one get one free) and a picture of GASM on it. The company who makes the beans? Why, that would be B&M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 i already have a GASM bolt! LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 It always made me wonder why they rarely used the blue train but than GA redid the hole thing than took down the ride. Also why did they use the white train more than the red or blue shouldn't it be red,white&blue. I don't know its always bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 With three trains and rarely the need for even two trains, they often kept one in storage. The final season they decided to do a full rebuild on the blue train and then made the decision (once the rehab was nearly done) to remove the ride. That's why the blue train was shipped to SFOG. The trains were all rebuilt over the years with few original pieces still on them. When Shockwave at SFGAm was torn down, we received one of the trains from there and parts were used from all the trains to keep things going.

Thats true but I didn't get the last year with the white being out more than the red,but the red was smoother my guess is the stupid axe ads.
