Coaster Justin Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Since you have all the rides for Adventure Alley, Could we see an Adventure Alley spotlight in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Why do they only run one of the 4 ride programs and not vary it to make you want to ride again,BTW I am not a huge fan of this one but for some reason I keep plopping into the seat...

thechiller15 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Because the 4 programs all have different times ranging from a 2 minute cycle to a 4 minute cycle. The 4 minute cycle is very tame and very long and really only used for days that is really slow and its raining so that it does not have to close for the tires slipping.

Guest Moonracker7 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Do you think sky screamer is a precursor to the end of AFBJT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I would say no- Parachutes is a family ride while SkyScreamer is at least marketed as a thrill ride. Hopefully the Parachutes don't go anywhere soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I noticed they changed the music played during each "flight" aboard SkyScreamer. So far I have only have caught three of the flying-themed songs being used (below). If you know of any others please add them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhujM7T1_fQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s62KngW84rU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) So no more AC/DC? I actually liked the hard rock soundtrack a lot... or maybe my 16 year old self is just too young for the new songs? I guess the new music fits the "flight" theme though. Out of the 3 new ones I'd say the last one is my favorite-the first one is ok too I guess but a bit slow for a thrill ride. Just my opinion though Edited August 31, 2014 by RC98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I remember they played "Fire" by Scooter the first year it opened. I only recognized the song bc I have the mortal kombat soundtrack on my iPod. No shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANofNJ Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 The best thing sky screamer has going for it is at night with the lighting package. I wish SFGadv started over hauling the parks lights on everything, from rides to food stands, to the ques, to all lights around the park. I was at the park the other night, and lighting is terrible around the whole park except for the sky screamer. Ka has ZERO lights in the que where the switch backs are, that's so damn dangerous. I even heard a few women make comments on it how unsafe it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even heard a few women make comments on it how unsafe it was. I agree with you on this. So many areas of Great Adventure are simply dark. Not just by the lakefront either. The bathrooms across from the Skyway sleds in particular are bad at night. Thank God nobody has been seriously hurt in the park recently. Great Adventure needs so many things, but nobody ever seems ready to say, "Here's an idea, instead of blowing our wad on a $20 million dollar coaster, let's finally spend the money and overhaul the guest experience". Premier Parks came the closest, but went bankrupt before seeing their plan through. You don't need a billion dollars to build a beautiful theme park. Busch Gardens, Port Aventura, and Parque Warner Madrid (A Six Flags Creation no less!), all did it considerably cheaper. You need leadership with a vision, and the ability to execute a plan. A good CEO knows how to bring the shareholders around. Steve Jobs didn't take crap from shareholders when Apple was in the toilet. He envisioned the company to his tastes, and the rest was history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper26 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 They play Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters, but it is sped up. It's better to play the normal version on the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medusa42 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I heard Fiesta Texas is testing out a new flying option on their Skyscreamer. Two sets of seats have been replaced by new harnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbadude44 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 ^ As long as the weather is not too chilly this October. I gotta remind myself to bring some gloves to mittens if I do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 It's funny, they tested that years ago in the off season and are finally doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
