Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Raging Bull
The people who come up with these ideas are seriously wrong in the head. How can a massive company like six flags employ such utter retards?
First Bizarro, Now Nitro... Just wait, every six flags park will have his soon and it'll be on the best 1 or 2 rides at each park.
Total and utter ****.

Do you have to choose to ride with the VR though?

Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Raging Bull
^It seems not, but it will still drastically affect queuing times regardless of whether you choose it or not. One, because anything sold as "new" will get longer lines anyway, and two, because the loading and unloading will take longer. I'll be going to two SF Parks this summer and will have to ride the VR coasters at least twice (once with and once+ without the VR) since I'll want to compare the overall experience, though I'm 99% sure which I'll prefer.
As DelPiero said, it's utterly stupid to put it on coasters which are already very popular. Putting it on massive Intamin and B&M hypers is f**kwittery at its finest when there are countless other rides at these parks which could actually benefit from it.
Your park's best rides don't need the added boost when all you're selling is the VR experience. Put it on a crap coaster and you still have the same marketing potential (NEW VIRTUAL REALITY COASTER!!!!!!), give an unloved/unpopular coaster some attention, and leave your signature rides the f**k alone.

FFS, this is so unnecessary and stupid. Why Nitro? Why Bull? Why Superman NE? Ridiculous. Let's just hope they never put VR on our wonderful and blissful RMC sex machines.....

Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Raging Bull
So all forms of Raging Bull VR advertisments and info have been removed from the website and App. A recent newsletter is saying that VR will be coming to SFGAm, but never said Bull. Many people on the SFGAmWorld forum are saying that they might've changed the coaster to Demon, which is a MUCH better fit.
All we know is that VR is still happening before the summer ends, but it won't be on Raging Bull.

Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Raging Bull
^Thank god. VR would turn Raging Bull, a capacity machine, into a capacity nightmare. All of my visits I've had at GAm Bull has had outstanding operations with very quick dispatches. VR would completely screw that up.

Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Raging Bull
By all means chuck it on dull creds to give them a second wind, but not on decent ones. Putting VR on Raging a Bull would be like smearing dog turd on an Aston Martin.
This is good news. Maybe they've heard warnings from other parks how cumbersome and crap VR on good creds is.GuyWithAStick said:

It's still Raging Bull, unfortunately. But there will be an announcement tomorrow, with a Media Event next week. I'm hoping for Demon VR, but with the VR page still saying RB, I won't get my hopes up.

Re: SFGAm- VR coming to Demon
Media preview is Thursday, with the opportunity for park guests who purchase a special Rage of the Gargoyles t-shirt to ride it that afternoon. It will open to season pass holders next Friday and the public next Saturday.

Everything related to SF's VR never ceases to appal me.

Re: VR for SFGAm's Demon & SFDK's Kong
The same Rage of the Gargoyles VR experience is coming to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and will be on their Kong SLC starting September 24th, just in time for Fright Fest. I thought Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis was a bad choice, but this should be even worse. :roll:

At least it's not Bull. That's all I'm going to say.
