Nitro#1 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 My honest issue is that I think this coaster isn't good fit for Great Adventure, and Great Adventure certainly ins't a good fit for the coaster. We get large crowds, so chances are we will have to wait 3-4 hours just to get on a ride that is 30-40 seconds long. I personally think another wooden coaster is maybe the only coaster we really needed. Meanwhile, Great America has received a Wingrider and RMC the last few years, Magic Mountain received Green Lantern First Flight, Full Throttle, Twisted Colossus, and Apocalypse in the last six years, and we have recieved (in the same time period) a relocated ride, a drop tower, and this low capacity disaster, which not to mention is a clone. We also lost three coasters in the same time period. The last thing GA needs in an RMC wood coaster, it would be just like El Toro and still not a traditional wooden coaster. If they get another wood coaster, it will be from GCI and be more on par with the thrill level of Mine Train rather than the thrill level of El Toro. What I think would be cool is to see something like Chiller built by Intamin in Chiller's old spot. After having Chiller be down more than it was running, Premier should not be building it. We do have 5 B&M coasters, but if B&M develops it, wouldn't it be great to have an X2 style 4D that is the length of Cedar Point's Gatekeeper and the height of Nitro. Great Adventure with the crowds they get really should be going for the highest possible capacity rides they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollyferry Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I didn't realize that the coaster would be extending over the water. Edited October 18, 2015 by hollyferry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Phil Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hi everyone, I know it's been a while, but I have some recent aerial photos to share of the park in general, and more importantly, construction taking place along the lakefront to make way for Total Mayhem in Summer 2016...Here are the two galleries you can view: August 30 and October 11 Enjoy !!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks Phil for sharing your great photos with us! You always provide such a unique perspective of the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 To be honest, something like Full Throttle would be good for the park, but a wooden coaster or RMC is a bigger priority as we currently have a wooden coaster surrounded by five B&M's (and other coasters, of course) Said I wanted Full Throttle since last year I think. It would've been a perfect choice for that area, and people would've been happy even though it's a clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Also posted this in the record quarter sf topic, figured id post here as well. 1:20 in you'll hear him call "Total Meyham" "Jokers Total Mayhem" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Maybe a retheme has happened and we will see new colors? might have something to do with the suicide squad movie? Jokers total mayhem makes more sense then just total mayhem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkj3322 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I think it's just a mistake but either way I'd rather keep mayhem. Edited October 26, 2015 by mkj3322 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 The first support's have arrived in the Park for "Total Mayhem", and can be seen from "Nitro's" lift hill. They are backstage by "Batman". They are all grey support's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc12192 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 In this video you can see some of the track of TM. Sadly, it is not painted yet. First pieces are at the beginning of the video, then again at 7:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 ^ This is almost 2 months old, they're probably painted by now! CoasterForce posted the photos to Facebook first, then uploaded those videos about a month later.

Railer Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 So now there is ALOT of rumbling's that "Total Mayhem" now has the green and purple color combination for the Track, and that it will be called "Joker's Total Mayhem". Although i am happy about the green and purple color's, as i think they will look good together along the Lake, i really hope the Joker is NOT part of the theme. Since the start you all know i think "Total Mayhem" is a perfect name for a free-spin, and it's a perfect theme for where it is in the Park. Adding the Joker to it will just cheapen it, and make it like all the other Joker themed rides. But as were one of the only Six Flags Park's without a Joker Themed ride, i guess were due. But i wish they would use it for a new spinning flat-ride a year or two down the line. And also i'm sure "Suicide Squad" coming out this Summer with Jared Leto's Joker ,making his big screen debut has a little part to play in it as well if it does come to be.

jdc12192 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 We'll have to wait and see. I have to say i was not the biggest fan of the name, total mayhem, at the announcement, however after a while it did grow on me and i did like it and just like you, thought it fit the ride. I liked the colors too and I'm going to be disappointed if its yet another DC ride out of place. I much rather have original names, or non DC names, for rides.

Viper26 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 A Joker themed ride would be better being added in Movie Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Justin Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 A Joker themed ride would be better being added in Movie Town. Maybe where Stuntman's Freefall was? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper26 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 That's a good spot. Maybe a roller coaster like Batman vs Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I feel like a many people aren't too happy about the coaster. I think that its a great idea. Its going to add an experience that the park never really had before in an area that could use improvement. Maybe this will pave the way for a little more expansion in this area. The way I see it, its not another super hero themed coaster built out into the parking lot. And lines are always going to be chaos for any new major ride. I don't think that's something that's exclusive to SFGA. But as a few have pointed out, the loose article policy (and the way it is enforced) doesn't help shorten the lines. But I don't think that means that the coaster is the problem. Now if Total Mayhem is themed to the Joker or any super hero character, I will be disappointed that we lost all that for just another super hero coaster. That's probably one of my latest pet peeves. I don't suppose there's any rumor or word on whether we will be getting another form of dolphin show elsewhere? I guess the show's attendance wasn't doing so hot lately?

Mrpq Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I feel like a many people aren't too happy about the coaster. What gave you that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well, after some thought, a "Joker" theme now on this Ride could make sense if another Batman Ride is coming. It could be used in the marketing also, after the "Joker" invaded the Park in 2016, Batman strikes back with the TRex Dueler in Movietown for 2017. But it really does make sense adding a Joker Theme before adding another Batman themed Coaster taking it up to 3. Just another little thing......
