How about this for an aberration of an announcement video (guessing its the official video, reposted)
That is the official video since it's posted on the official Six Flags channel. :wink:

It's also the same one Six Flags Mexico sent me, but I didn't bother posting it on our YouTube channel since it's in Spanish and I'm so pissed off about what they're doing to one of my favorite coasters. :p

Wow what an underwhelming year for Six Flags. I mean, sure the Joker clones look like great rides, but it's just a shame for them to constantly install clones. Not surprising one bit, but still a shame. The watercoaster and justice league rides are pretty neat too. I just think they've put the least amount of effort into this years line-up as they could. There's nothing here that excites or interests me. Nothing's technically bad, but nothing's interesting enough to draw anything more of a disappointed 'meh' out of me.

Here's hoping come the 16th the rumoured RMC Cedar Fair collaboration will come true otherwise that's one pretty disappointing year for both Six Flags and Cedar Fair.

Trust me... The free flies aren't great. Only been on Joker at GAdv, but it probably doesn't even make my top half. Such a short ride, and nothing great about it.

Yep... Exactly how I felt about the Superman The Ride VR. Still my second or third favorite, and the ride itself is just as good... but those lines...

Ha in all fairness they're probably better than most of the creds in the UK. But interesting to hear another perspective on them.

From what Ive seen of folks talking about them - they are still hit or miss rides, just like the Zac-Spins.

I have some friends that swear by them, some that think they're meh, and others that feel they shouldnt exist.

Meh.

Wasn't expecting much but pretty surprised that they're :dontswear:ing down 3 free spins as opposed to one or two. My home park is getting one too…so… yay? :?

And I thought they couldn't do worse after putting VR on hypers and SLCs...

I'm not mad whatsoever. Considering that this IS Six Flags, its really not that bad. At least they didn't give us RMC/B&M-level hype for a kids area unlike a certain Cedar Fair park I know...

To be fair, it's about time the Americans had a bum year. They've had it far too good for... well, forever really.
We've had 10 bum years in a row!

Jheeze VR is like heroin to Six Flags, and I bet it'll be that last gen graphics fighter jet through generic city video again.

So any chance they turn one of those Joker S&S 4Ds into a Total Mayhem? :razz:
