Six Flags Park Survivor

[goliath]

With the CP survivor going on, I decided to do a six***s park survivor. Here are the choices.
Marine World
Magic Mountain
Elitch Gardens
Six Flags Over Texas
Six Flags New Orleans
Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Six Flags St. Louis
Six Flags Great America
Six Flags Over Georgia
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom
Six Flags New England
Six Flags Great Adventure
Six Flags America
Six Flags Darien Lake
Six Flags Astroworld

I vote Six Flags Marine World out.

[6000000flags]

marine world:bye bye

[alpengeist04]

I would vote off six flags darien lake. It only has one five star coaster (superman-ROS). SFMW has two in Roar and Medusa. Marine World will get voted off soon enough I say SFDL.

[GntDprRdr04]

it has to be Astroworld!--it has to go

[Harpo]

Kraptacular Kingdom

[CedarPoint89]

How can we have a six flags survivir when nobody survives going to six flags?

[AltoSax1423]

Well i'm from Houston, Texas and since the only Amuesment Park I have ever gone to was Six Flags Astroworld i vote for it. It is kind of stupid there :( I love Serial Thriller!!!

[goliath]

In the tie between Marine World and Astroworld, I shall flip a coin, heads, Marine World, tails, Astroworld....... MARINE WORLD IS OUT!!!!!! Remaining parks:
Magic Mountain
Elitch Gardens
Over Texas
New Orleans
Fiesta Texas
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia
Kentucky Kingdom
New England
Great Adventure
Astroworld
America
Darien Lake

I vote Fiesta Texas out.

[alpengeist04]

I have no problem voting out Fiesta Texas. It's going to come down to the big four anyway.

[Harpo]

Still going for Kraptacular Kingdom in Louisville.

[goliath]

Fiesta Texas is out!!
These are the choices:
Magic Mountain
Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia
Kentucky Kingdom
New England
Great Adventure
Darien Lake
America
Astroworld

I have to go with Harpo on this one. I vote Kentucky Kingdom.

[Harpo]

I'll stick to my guns -- down with the royalty! Overthrow Kentucky Kingdom and liberate yourselves from oppresive litter!

[alpengeist04]

I'll just go with the flow until the big four. I vote out Kentucky Kingdom.

[Duane]

I have to agree. Kentucky Kingdom has A space issue, and has A poor selection of rides. It is A sad, sad park. Leave it to Premier Parks to soil the great Six Flags name.

i've never been but i'll agree.

[Luxar]

ASTROWORLD MUST GO. just went there again yesterday, and its still as dirty and pathetic as ever. And if that wasn't bad enough, TWICE I got to the front of the line only to have the ride shut down right before my turn!(once on Serial Thriller for "wind warning" or something, and once on Batman: Escape for no apparent reason)

Ack! You cant take KK away! Thats where I get my $40.00 six flags season passes!

[goliath]

Harpo's least favorite park, Kraptacular Kingdom is out!
Here are the remaining:

Magic Mountain
Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia
Kentucky Kingdom
New England
Great Adventure
Darien Lake
SF America
Astroworld

Astroworld should be out!

[Harpo]

Hmmm, tough call, but I'm going to have to go with New England. After all, their accident-that-shouldn't-have-happened on Superman was the reason why Superman at Tragic Mountain and Xcelerator at Knott's were closed on my visit this summer! Plus, on my one visit to New England, besides having several rides closed, the park was exceptionally filthy, even for Six Flags, and the pizza was the pits. Of course, I may have just caught them on a bad day. I also felt the park layout could use some work -- at the end of the superhero area, I'd like to see stairs, or a ramp, or something that would act as an exit to the area above it, rather than just being a dead-end.

[goliath]

There is a tie between Astroworld and New England! Your only choices until the end of this round are Astroworld and New England.

[Harpo]

Well, gee, if only the two of us are voting, we could always consider it to be 2 rounds, and hack both New England and Astroworld off the list!

(By the way, don't forget to pull KK out of the list... Incidentally, it's only my 2nd least favorite park. My least favorite is Williams Grove, but that's not owned by Six Flags. Hmmm, maybe Six Flags should acquire it -- they can't make it any worse! :D )

[goliath]

OK Harpo, both of the parks are out! Sorry, Harpo, I forgot KK. I've never heard of Williams Grove. Whats so bad about it? Here is what remains.

Magic Mountain
Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia
Great Adventure
Darien Lake
SF America

I vote Great Adventure.

[Harpo]

Again, it's tough. Great Expenditure, er, Adventure is a good choice. I could also make a great case for Six Flags Annoyance, er, America, or Georgia, or New Orleans. But, with my past two hideous experiences there, I'm going to go for Tragic Mountain.

When I went to Williams Grove (located in Pennsylvania, about 30 minutes away from Hersheypark), the place was an absolute disasterous mess. I was afraid to touch anything without getting updated tetanus and malaria shots. Plus, the staff seemed more than just rude -- they seemed angry with the world. Worst of all, their old wood coaster was in terrible condition. I'm used to hearing wood creak, but that wood was cracking! Also, despite a fairly good slope out of the station, the operator had to give the train quite a shove to get it going. Two things surprised me about that ride: 1) that it didn't stall during the ride due to too much friction, 2) that the ride didn't simply collapse.

I think it was last year when there was an accident on their Paratrooper ride. The owner, using all the tact I'd expect from that park, said to the press, "I wouldn't tell you my side of the story if you dropped dead!" Ah, the art of public relations. (Prior to seeing that quote, I kept quiet about my dislike of Williams Grove. I considered it a small struggling park that didn't need any negative views expressed about it. However, when the owner makes such a fool of himself following an accident where someone could have been killed, I think the park deserves any negative publicity it gets.)

[alpengeist04]

Goliath2004,
I don't want to put down anyone's opinion, but how can you vote out Great Adventure this early?
I vote Darien Lake.

[Harpo]

Well, speaking from my visit a couple of years ago, the ticket price was $54, the parking was $10, and 9 rides (including 3 coasters) were closed. In my view, that's sad. I currently expect to see closed rides when I go to a Six Flags park, but 9 is a bit excessive.

However, I'm still voting for Tragic Mountain.

[GntDprRdr04]

Magic Mountain needs to go

[alpengeist04]

Harpo, I can't disagree with you on that. A couple years ago SFGA was at a alltime low. They still have a ways to go, but they are getting better. From what I've heard they have had no more than 1 or 2 coasters down this year at a time. It's not great, but remember we are comparing Six Flag's parks.

[goliath]

SFGA could be redeemed with the new rocket coaster. I would like another TTD that is better mantained, a few more hills, and a few inversions, like the world's biggest corkscrew, or the world's biggest loop. Also I want it to be faster and higher.

[alpengeist04]

I agree Goliath2004.:D Something new and unique would be nice.

[goliath]

THANK YOU, ALPENGEIST!!! SOMEONE FINALLY AGREES WITH ME! ALL OF MY FRIENDS SAY TTD IS GOOD AS IT IS!!!!!! Sorry about the yelling, but I'm so happy :D:up: :up: :up:!

[alpengeist04]

TTD is a good ride, but something new and unique would be better!!!!:up: BTW, there's nothing wrong with good yelling!!!:D

[goliath]

Magic Mountain is out!
Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia
Great Adventure
Darien Lake
SF America

I still vote SFGA

[alpengeist04]

I'm voting for SF Darien Lake.

[ColonelSandurz]

Somewhere along the way, Six Flags over Texas got dropped - but nobody voted for it! How can the first ever Six Flags park just simply be forgotten?

[alpengeist04]

I think it's just an oversite. I don't remember it being voted out.

[Harpo]

I think I'll vote for the site where Mrs. Wiggins' grandson works, trimming and filing his fingernails when he's supposed to be running a coaster: SF America.

[goliath]

OK I want to get this done quickly. SFGA, SFDL, and SFA are all out.

Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America
Over Georgia

I vote SFOG.

[Harpo]

I'll second that, and say see y'all later to Georgia.

[alpengeist04]

I vote SF Elitch Gardens. I know its a nice park, but none of the coasters really excite me.

[goliath]

SFOG is out! WE HAVE REACHED THE FINAL FOUR!!!!!!!! HERE ARE THE LUCKY FINALISTS:

Elitch Gardens
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America

How did Elitch Gardens get in there? My vote goes to Elitch Gardens.

[alpengeist04]

You guys voted out all my favorites, so I'm done voting.lol:(

[goliath]

Hello, Elitch Gardens! All of the coasters there stink! Same with New Orleans!

[goliath]

Elitch Gardens is out. We have reached the last three. Here are the finalists:
New Orleans
St. Louis
Great America

I vote New Orleans.

[Harpo]

Gee, that's funny -- Elitch Gardens was the best experience I've had at a Six Flags park EVER. If all the Six Flags parks were run like that one, I wouldn't have any significant complaints, only minor issues. Oh well.

Guess I'll have to pull out the creole and go with N'olans. No Mardi Gras time here. (Besides, they can't even get the right picture of Joker's Jinx on the tshirts -- they pictured the wrong coaster!)

[goliath]

WE are down to the last two! Who would have thought it would be Great America vs. St. Louis in the finals? Here is the match you've all been waiting for: Great America vs.
St. Louis .

I vote St. Louis.

[ColonelSandurz]

Add Over Texas in to that battle. It was never voted out. Someone just forgot that it was there and left it out!

[goliath]

St. Louis is out and there will be one more park added and that park is SFoT! I vote Great America out.

[alpengeist04]

It was fixed!!! SFOT was left out, so it could win.:haha:

[goliath]

No it wasn't. I just forgot.

[alpengeist04]

I was laughing when I wrote that.lol:haha:

[goliath]

I knew you were joking, but what if someone took it seriously and thought I am cheap (which I kinda am lol:haha:).

[alpengeist04]

BTW, Let's Get It Started is a cool song.:D

[goliath]

Lets Get It Started is tied with My Band for my fav. My Band is by D12, no, I don' have my own band. Watch to the music video on http://search.launch.yahoo.com/search/lsearch/all?p=my+band. Its a great song.

[goliath]

I will add one more day to the polls.

[Harpo]

I'm getting tired of repeating my posts that disappeared! D'Oh!

Oh well. My vote here goes to eliminate the 2nd least efficient park I've ever visited: SF Over Texas.

[GntDprRdr04]

i vote out Great America--not so "great"

[goliath]

SFoT is out, Harpo.

[thirstydeer]

I haven't posted anything yet because I just found this forum now but if you want a newcomer's opinion, I'd say throw out Darien Lake... there are very few roller coasters there... even fewer good ones, and there hasn't been a major upgrade at that park for as long as I can remember. Six Flags has really ignored this park with potential.

[werty0u]

ive been too sixflags darien lake countlass times and its really mild and a drop in the bucket compared to Cedar Point
