Pineracer Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I doubt any of the separate water parks will get anything unless they were supposed to for 2021 and have been delayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 SFGAm might be planning something new for the Buccaneer Battle location.

Medusa42 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 The 2021 park map for Six Flags St. Louis is out and shows Catwoman Whip replacing Superman: Tower of Power instead of the Go-Karts. https://static.sixflags.com/website/files/sfsl_park-map-and-guide.pdf I hope they plant some grass where the Go-Karts were.

I Have No Name Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I could see this happening in 2022 for Six Flags America: Batwing, Penguin's Blizzard River or Shipwreck Falls reaches the end of the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I wonder if Six Flags will continue to have an annual capital investment announcement at the end of August like in years past or if the new management team will have a different approach.

Medusa42 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 ^ I am not sure. Fiesta Texas is going to make their announcement on July 28th, which seems really early for Six Flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewinder Safari is still in pieces in the parking lot at Discovery Kingdom and the concrete work has not started yet. With the rumors about Discovery Kingdom's future, it will be interesting to see if this coaster gets moved to Frontier City. I know foundation work was completed for Vipere. I thought foundation work was already completed on Wahoo Wave, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced Dr. Diabolical's CliffHanger for 2022. It's the worlds steepest B&M Dive Coaster with a 95 degree drop. 150 feet tall and 7 seats per row. https://www.sixflags.com/fiestatexas/attractions/dr-diabolicals-cliffhanger Edited July 28, 2021 by Medusa42 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Six Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 It’s crazy to see Six Flags working with B&M again. No ground up coasters since X-Flight in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think they may have finally realized that not building expensive new coasters periodically was hurting attendance. Especially in competitive markets like San Antonio where SeaWorld has opened a couple of new coasters recently. My guess is we'll be back to small additions for a year or two then a big addition again for all the parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Krabs Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm so happy that Six Flags is working with B&M again! Dr. Diabolical Cliffhanger looks like a sick ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted August 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Six Flags Over Texas announcement is tomorrow.

Medusa42 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 https://www.sixflags.com/overtexas/new-experiences Quote Six Flags Over Texas Announces ‘Pirates of Speelunker Cave’ Ride Six Flags Over Texas celebrated its 60th anniversary today by announcing that an all-new ride experience will make its debut for the 2022 season. Pirates of Speelunker Cave is a state-of-the-art attraction that will place guests squarely in the middle of a pirate treasure hunt thwarted by resident Speelunkers. This exciting, new attraction is the second new ride announced at the park and is scheduled to open early in 2022. Aquaman: Power Wave, a previously announced multi-launch water coaster, will also debut next season. “As the world’s first regional theme park, Six Flags Over Texas has built a solid reputation of providing innovative thrills and lifelong memories for generations of families,” said Six Flags Over Texas Park President Ron McKenzie. “What better way to celebrate our park’s 60th anniversary than by announcing a brand-new attraction that pays homage to our past and launches us into the future,” added McKenzie. An all-new entry plaza will welcome adventurers with coastal theming and an open vantage point of the ride’s first descent into Speelunker Cave. Once aboard their six-passenger boat, riders will experience 17 brand-new scenes that combine state-of-the-art cinematic projection with immersive sets and animatronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medusa42 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 It is looking like Magic Mountain's announcement will be on Monday. They have been doing a coaster countdown everyday on facebook and the last of their 19 coasters should be posted on Sunday. Monday is also National Roller Coaster Day. During the Fiesta Texas announcement, the park president said passes would go on sale in mid-August. So I would expect the rest of the Six Flags announcements next week after Magic Mountain.

I Have No Name Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 So I happened to see this yesterday at Six Flags America. Two things come to mind here: 1. With back to school happening soon, staffing issues mean some rides may not operate because of reduced staffing 2. The park is like "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" it, Vekoma's not making replacement parts for Flying Dutchmans anymore; we're getting rid of this coaster. What say you all?

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I like that ride and I hope they don’t get rid of it. The scariest thing for me about Batwing is that you don’t really know whether all is safe with the restraints until the train flips upside down at the top of the lift and everyone’s weight is put on the devices at which point it’s too late if it fails.
