The Master Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Poor Ultra Twister is just a pile of parts in the back area of Six Flags America in Md. If you ride Batwing you can see over a mound is Ultra Twister parts, SF says the ride is in bad shape and requires major repairs. Seems like SF likes to dump broken rides in SFA's back areas, half of Lighing Loops is also in storage at SFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyChrist Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ultra Twister from Astroworld was supposedly damaged during transport to Maryland and this damage has made it way too costly to repair and put up. I think it was supposed to be their newest addition, seeing how they haven't had one in years, but it will just sit there and rot like many rides do in a park's boneyard.

29yrswithaGApass Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 This low capacity ride would have been a great fit for a park the size of Six Flags America and it would have meant that the Ultra Twister would be back closer to home! Unfortunately, given the condition of the ride and the lack of availability of parts from the original manufacturer TOGO, I think this one will soon be sold as scrap metal. Can I have one of the cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 SFA is the next closest SF park to SFGAdv so it would have been cool to have Ultra Twister running again in the next closest SF park to GAdv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 ^ That would have been great. Ultra Twister is my favorite roller coaster of GA-past. Here's the ride "in storage" at Six Flags America: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, because it operated there for a bit as I believe Python. But a few years back it was scrapped, so it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Would have been cool to ride this one again.But its kinda hard to get parts from a company that no longr exitis.TOGO went under because of Viper and their rides killing people in Japan. Actually they had no business in the roller coaster industry as every one of there coasters beat the crap out of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
