Re: Six Flags New England|"Star Flyer"|World's Tallest Starf

They're supposed to be the same height or something dumb like that.

The Star Flyers in SF Over Texas and Grona Lund (Sweden) are 400ft tall.

The Star Flyers in SF Over Texas and Grona Lund (Sweden) are 400ft tall.

So, again just to nitpic, and this is an open question not directed at you:

is the thread title accurate with "World's Tallest" if the listed height is 15 feet shorter then two other rides?

Re: Six Flags New England|"Star Flyer"|World's Tallest Starf

I thought Grona Lund was 385, and SFoT and SFNE going at the 400ft mark with a head piece on it?

Re: Six Flags New England|"Star Flyer"|World's Tallest Starf

Grona Lund, SFNE, and SFoT star flyers are all 400 feet w/ the topper piece.

Looks like it will be very similar to the one in Texas

Re: SF New England | "New England Sky Screamer" | Sky Scream

^ Realistically speaking, all Sky Screamers are the same. Just a matter of height and ride cycle.

I wonder how tall this one is going to be. Both the one in Texas and Eclipse are 400 feet.

Like very star flyer built now is the biggest, shouldn't be too long until someone builds a space flyer

Re: SF New England | "New England Sky Screamer" | Sky Scream

Yeah these rides are a whole lotta NOPE. 400 ft of roller coaster is chill. 400 ft of sitting in a wicker basket attached to a chain? You're batsh!t crazy.

SFNE might not be my home-SF park anymore, but I'll be sure to check this out next summer

Edited as both topics have been merged. ECG

Because everything's bigger in New England. :lol:

This is a case where, listen closely SF, recycling a ride name won't work.

The name doesn't have a negative ring to it like the Windseekers, so they can get away with it.

Knowing Six Flags, they're probably gonna beat their own record by making it 401 feet tall of something like that. You can't beat your own record in height by making something the same height.

Re: SF New England | "New England Sky Screamer" | Star Flyer

^True, but it depends how they market it. If they use "Tallest ride in the state" or in the North, South, East or West etc. it doesn't matter if it's the same height as another of the same ride type elsewhere in the country.

Re: Six Flags New England | New England SkyScreamer | Star F

They could just make it 400 feet and still market it as the tallest one. Worked great for bot Gröna Lund and Six Flags last year.

Agreed! watched a video of someone on here, he didn't look happy and it made my knees wobble a bit! I don't have an issue with heights, but being in something so small and feeble looking isn't my idea of safe or fun!

When is this going to go vertical.

^Well the first pieces of the tower have finally arrived, so hopefully soon. :wink:
