Six Flags Great Adventure: What the…?
A new aerial update of Six Flags Great Adventure was posted yesterday by “Flyin’ Phil” on his site. The update can be seen here.
The update shows some interesting things going on at the park. As seen in the last update, Stuntman’s Freefall is gone, and the Riptide log flume ride is almost completely gone. Some additional random work is going on in the parking lot. Oh, and the zero-g was taken off Chiller. It’s still a mystery what’s going on with the ride, ever since its incident with a wheel assembly failure last season. Right now it is unknown whether the removal of the zero-g’s is related to that incident or not, or what will be taking their place. I’m quite interested to see what comes out of this.
What stood out to me in this update was something very odd. Check out picture 11. A Nitro train at the bottom of the lift… in January? I’m very interested by this… what’s going on over there? First of all, it is a bit too cold out for a coaster to be running. At this time of year trains would be expected to be off the track, undergoing rehab anyway. Not to mention if Nitro is like other B&Ms, that particular spot is one of the worst places for an E-Stop/Ride Stop/Lift Stop to be done as it is a pain to restart. Anyone know what’s going on here?
