"Green Lantern" B&M Stand Up for SFGAdv
- Thread starter ECG
- Start date
As bad as everyone's opinion of GASM is, it was actually my #1 for 5 years. :lol:
I thought it was amazing when it opened & it was top of my list until they built Batman, which blew it away (of course). I've ridden it 207 times & it was my most ridden coaster until they built El Toro.

-1 cred for Gavin, Bred & Hixee.
GASM is also known in the form of Shockwave that used to be at Six Flags Great America before it's dismantling.
Also, does anyone find it possible that Chang could be constructed at BOTH SFGAm and SFGAdv? I mean it's the same with Batman: The Ride and TDK. So is that not possible? It seems that no one thinks it is or hasn't thought of it yet. Anything is possible right now.

Quick chime in here: Why would they close one of the biggest rides in the park less than a week before one of the biggest attendance weekends in the year?
Sounds like a bonehead move, IMO.

Wow, Great Adventure officially has one of the best park line ups pretty much ever. I love the park, and Chang will be a fantastic addition, even though I agree that it was a stupid move to shut down Scream Machine before the busy weekend.
As for GASM itself, I didn't think it was that brutal. Sure, a bit of headbanging here and there, but it was intense, you can't deny it!

reason
it had become impossible to buy spare parts for the old Arrow coaster anymore
that's what i call $h#t that was the reason apparently for shouting the ride down from scream scape. Also didn't they use the same excuse for when the original X would shut down for while?? CONSPIRACY ?? NO just kidding with WITH conspiracy part.

I was under the impression that Vekoma could supply parts for Arrow loopers/corkscrews?
Anyway, sad to say that GASM was one that I was really looking forward to to be honest. Not that I think it would be up to much, but I've always liked the look of it for some reason. Ah well...

^ Well that is probably true, but with the slowly declining number of oldschool arrows, the demand for these parts is decreasing, meaning the cost to get these parts is increasing.
Then you have to think the interest for this coaster is decreasing as better stuff is being built now, it just doesn't make sense to keep it when you have a bad-ass B&M waiting to get built somewhere.

Both S&S and Vekoma can provide repair parts for Arrow loopers.
