gasmspiritblue Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) SkyScreamer's fun and all, but I still prefer classic swingers. I agree, it's a cool ride to see views of the park, but i really enjoy classic swings more. At least we can cross off a drop tower.

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 ... but being suspended in the air at that height in just what's basically a 2 person bench is something I'm hesitant to try. I find SkyScreamer to be the scariest ride in the park. It's not because it spins or even because it goes up high. It is just the thought when you are 200+ feet up and look at those tiny little chains thinking they are the only thing holding you up and how easy it would be to become a projectile flying into the Big Wheel!

RC98 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Honestly I don't find SkyScreamer that scary I just think it gives a cool open flight feeling being so high above everything in a swing ride chair. Now Zumanjaro will be another story; big drop towers always make me nervous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, i thought it was going to be much scarier then it really is but like 29yrs said it does get a little scary when you look up and realize you are being held in by two little chains.

laurenalexis Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think they need to put some new flat rides in Old Country and what used to be Balin's Jungleland... a classic swing ride would be very nice, and I would also like to see a new enterprise and Musik Express. Maybe even something similar to the Schwabinchen if they are still manufactured! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Here is a weird flat ride that could be added to the Lake Front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 That would be cool! I would like to see enterprise back, since it was at the park for many years, looping star ship because we need a ride that just lets you hang up side down, tilt a whirl because kids LOVE that ride, and lastly monster spin because it's a great little flat for everyone to enjoy!

GAcoaster Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 How about one of these with the old Sombrero on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do they still have the old sombrero? If they do this would be a great new addition to Plaza del Carnaval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnerleroy Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 When I was at the other day, I started getting random ideas on how to improve dead areas of the park and add new flats and attractions. 1) Morph and Revitalize Old Country and Movietown- Re-Open Old country and have it begin to blend in with movie Town as you go through it. In Spin Meister's Old Spot, add a beer stand and some tables, creating a mini beer garden, and keeping the area confines, as Six Flags tends to have all establishments that serve alcohol be confined and well defined by area. Re open autobahn and refurbish(or entirely replace, I'm not sure of the extent of damage) Musik Express. Now, in the area that used to be chiller's domain(both the ride area and surrounding area, such as the snack stand and gift shop) will be where the areas begin to "morph". In chiller's old pad, put a family type motocoaster, add fly throughs such as on bizzaro, and theme it to the movies. On the other side, add the "London Taxi Cab" huss breakdance ride from Freestlye Musik/Hard Rock Park to begin to blend the areas between Europe and Entertainment. With this area being used, the other 3 sides of the Dark Knights building cant be left blank and will need to be painted. 2)Replace the Simulator Building with flats-The simulator building is the worst eyespore in the park so I say knock it down and replace it with boardwalk themed flat rides, leaning toward the more thrilling variety. Add a chance unicaoster named "whirlpool", and 2 or 3 more spinning rides to fill up the space and revitalize the area. 3)Add 2 flats to the golden kingdom-golden kingdom is beginning to become a dead area of the park, aside from Kingda ka and Zumanjaro, so add two family flats, themed after former Balin's Jungleland rides. the first to a full size family swing ride called "Monkey Around" and then a family spinning ride called "Raja's Ricksaws" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I like these ideas, the only thing is that having Fender Benders sort of defeats the point of Autobahn, since they're exactly the same ride. Other than that I like this plan a lot, it really fills out the park and adds a lot of variety! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANofNJ Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Great ideas, too bad they will never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 No, El Sombrero was scrapped after the 2001 season. It didn't even make a stop in the boneyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlumeOp1974 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Lauren Welcome. Yes the rides you mentioned are stll being made. The Enterprise is no longer avilable from Huss. But they will refurbish one and update all the rides systems. So there no reason the park cant relocate or purchase one and have it redone..Good idea.

Ol'FormerRideOp Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've been saying for many years now, that good ol' flat rides are what's needed.... I would take the entire "New Rides" area (from the old Enterprise all the way back to the former Free Fall site) and turn it into a "Fairgrounds" theme and have all the fun, cheesy family rides that people enjoy... with all the light kits and music that these rides can be equipped with... Take a look at http://www.flatrides.com for ideas... I'd definitely have the Enterprise, Monster Spin, Flying Swings, Musik Express, Alpine Bobs, Hexentanz (Witche's Dance), Tilt-A-Whirl, etc. The sad fact, is Great Adventure never kept up with the maintenance of the original artwork and lighting kits of the flat rides - and they became very unattractive and boring. Half of the appeal is the lighting kits and the colorful artwork that is available for the rides. Another flume-style ride would be a welcome addition too! Just sayin'... ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepolak90 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I would LOVE to see a freestyle added to our park, it looks awesome! The park could desperately use mild thrill rides like a wave swinger, flying scooters, a zamperla disko, something like meteor at Dorney, and etc. I could go on for days. I honestly don't see twister lasting much longer especially since they removed the one at SFNE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I would like to the old sim threater be restored into a sim ride, I really miss it. Just another Shapeiro screwup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsBunny123 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 agreed on enterprise, tilt a whirl, and elsombrero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees99 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 GA used to have the best set of flat rides back in its heyday. They were located all throughout the park. I saw a picture somebody on here recently took from atop the Giant Wheel and there wasn't anything down there. I can think back to all of those awesome flat rides that were once there. The lines were almost always jammed to get on the Enterprise, Roundup, Rotor, Music Express, Swiss Bobsled, Calypso, Traffic Jam and others.

Pineracer Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Enterprise-This would be better in Plaza del Carnival and be called Los Sombrero voladores (the flying hats) Tilt-a-whirl- in Musik Express area called Harley Quinn spincanity Pendulum-a Modial revolution or Huss Frisbee in Autobahn/Pendulum area call Two-Face: the flip side The tilt-a-whirl and Revolution/Frisbee would go in as part of Movie Town/Gotham City area even though these rides are in the old country area but there is very little germen theming left there, just Autobahn and maybe 1 building but that's something that can be removed quickly like the Chiller station pieces and other movie town theming.

IBOK Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Proud to see the enterprise with the most votes. Miss that one tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthewanderer Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I voted for an enterprise,rotor,tilt-a-whirl and scrambler,but Great Adv. could also use a DaVinci's Cradle/Falling Star ride and a Huss El Condor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
