29yrswithaGApass Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 The Scrambler is on site and it is blue (just like the one GA sent away) with white on the center panels. If it is blue and with white panels than it sounds like we may be getting the Scrambler from American Adventures: Our original GA Scrambler that we sent to SFOG was repainted with much dark colors: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thats indoors though. I don't think GAdv will be enclosing it. I think he meant lights similar to the red, white, and blue ones below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafreak Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 im glad to see that already the new rides are showing up, it would be even better if all of them are ready for opening day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiller Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Did it look freshly painted? If so, then it might just have the same colors as American Adventures Scrambler and be another scrambler.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 No, but ti was identical to the American Adventures paint job. I think we have a match. I have to wonder if the other rides from AA are on the move as well now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Call it greed, but I think we should get the Tilt-a-Whirl from American Adventures too! The ride would be a nice little low-cost bonus to our revitalized Fantasy Forest and would fit in perfectly just behind the Big Wheel where the remote control cars now stand. With it, the park could really promote next year's additions as a "family flat rides package"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think it would be better if they spread out the few flats at American Adventure's to other parks who got purged of their flat rides during Shapiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not mistaken, Great Adventure was the only park to have more than 10 rides removed during those years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Didn't Magic Mountain lose a lot? I know that SFNE lost their ferris wheel, break dance, Time Warp, Double Trouble, Nightwing, Chaos, Spider, bumper buggies, and another flat that I'm blanking on. The park was set to remove Kontiki and Catapult - fortunately a last minute change axed those plans. Although the ferris wheel got replaced with our relocated swings and Nightwing was replaced with our Wipeout, we still lost nine rides. Due to the parks reworking of the old spaces we only have two visual flat ride pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoreNCoasters Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) In my opinion, the flat rides we still need are: 1) A Tilt-A-Whirl. 2) A Classic Wave Swinger. 3) A Musik Express. 4) A Breakdance/Rodeo. 5) An S&S Triple Combo Tower. OR 5) An Intamin Gyro Drop Tower. 6) A Shoot-The-Chutes. 7) A HUSS Giant Frisbee. 8) I feel like I'm missing one or two things...

Yoshi Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) If I am not mistaken, Great Adventure was the only park to have more than 10 rides removed during those years!

29yrswithaGApass Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 The 2012 construction has gone vertical! Sort of. New posts have been installed next to the old Chaos queue pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truepolak90 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 The park filling in the vacant flat pads before anything else is truly a great first step in the right direction! Its gonna be nice to have the Scrambler, Bumper Cars, Royal Elephants and Sky Screamer added to our line-up next year! I wonder how come they choose to use the old Choas spot for the scrambler rather then pirates flight? Does anything else think the elephants are gonna look rather small in Pirates Flight's old foot print? Almost like how Tweety's Roundup looked when they placed it in El Sembrero's old pad for the 2005 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like how Tweety's Roundup looked when they placed it in El Sembrero's old pad for the 2005 season. I totally agree with you about the sizes of the rides. Even though I was originally told from a park official that the Scrambler was going into Chaos' old spot, I believe that has since changed and the Scrambler will now go in Pirate's Flight spot and the Elephants on Chaos' pad.

truepolak90 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I think that would look so much better visually too! The "Royal" elephants will go great next to Mama Flora's Castle like theme and the scrambler will look so much better next to our round up! Almost how it should have back when our old one was going to get relocated to the Pirate Flight's pad back in 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah, I think this way will work better. It does look like the elephants would barely fit, though... Are they the same elephants that were in the Golden Kingdom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwantagiga Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why would the park get new elephants when they already have one? Of course they're the same elephants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
