New for 2019 - Maxx Force at Six Flags Great America

GURNEE, Ill. — August 30, 2018 — Six Flags Great America, the Thrill Capital of the Midwest, today announced a revolutionary, triple-record breaking, new roller coaster coming to the park in 2019. Maxx Force will be the fastest launch coaster in North America, and feature the highest double version and fastest inversion of any roller coaster in the world.  

“In the category of record-breaking, one-of-a-kind rides and attractions, Six Flags reigns supreme,” said Six Flags Great America Park President Hank Salemi. “We continue to build upon our arsenal of world-class thrills and Maxx Force is in a class all by itself, launching riders from 0 to 78 miles per hour in under two seconds. We cannot wait for our guests to experience this high-intensity ride.”

Maxx Force highlights include:

• A unique air-powered launching system propelling guests forward at record speeds;
• A double inversion at 175-feet above the ground;
• The fastest inversion on any roller coaster in the world with a 60 miles per hour Zero-G Corked Roll;
• Five inversions; and
• One-of-a-kind custom coaster trains modeled after Formula One racing cars

Maxx Force will be the park’s 17th roller coaster and is set to debut in summer 2019 in the Carousel Plaza area of the park.

Roar @ SFA (Six Flags America) POV | Crazy Dudes Screaming on a Roller Coaster

New POV Video Guys! Digging through the archives and found this hilarious video of us on Roar at SFA. You can hear the jackhammering on some of the turns, but overall i noticed the park had done some track work. I wish Roar (SFDK) had not been transformed since that was the better version of these two rides. Overall, this was a good experience.

First Coaster Built with Planet Coaster Alpha - The Great American Scream Machine

Now for the First Coaster Built by me with Planet Coaster. I've been inspired by Arrow lately, as there was just a documentary released here on YouTube. Arrow was a powerhouse of a company back in the 1960's, through the 80's. Only in the 90s and early 2000s did the company falter. They have left behind a legacy of great steel coasters, and i'm so excited to bring to you The Great American Scream Machine, with Authentic coaster cars in the Game. I'm already in love with Planet Coaster, and the gameplay is really fun so far.

World First Hybrid Condor by Huss Rides to be Opening at Tivoli Gardens in April

WORLD FIRST HYBRID CONDOR AT TIVOLI GARDENS

Yes friends, a park I've journeyed to in the past (back in 2000) called Tivoli Gardens (Copenhagen, Denmark) is installing a new Huss Condor.  First of all, surprised to see a newer install of this ride.  I believe there was another recent installation of a Huss Condor in Happy Valley Shanghai.  This one though features two different types of seating style.  One can sit in a circle facing outwards, but you can also  ride in a traditional gondola style.  Here's Huss Ride's official Press Release:

January 2016
German amusement ride manufacturer Huss Park Attractions GmbH has announced a world first installation at the famous Tivoli Gardens amusement park in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Due to open for the 2016 season is a new HUSS® Condor 2GH, the first such ride to be installed anywhere in the world and an attraction that provides guests with a choice of two ride experiences in different types of passenger gondola.

RollerCoaster Tycoon World Beta POV - Accell (An Intamin Accelerator Coaster)

It's been a while since everyone has heard about when the 2nd Beta Weekend of Rollercoaster Tycoon World will be. Initially we were told there would be a Beta weekend at the end of October & 2nd weekend at the end of November. However, feedback from the initial beta test phase resulted in a huge overhaul of the games most important system, the coaster builder. Not that the spline based system didn't have some merit as it will allow for limitless coaster combinations. Unfortunately the spline system needed much tweaking, and there are certain types of track parts that would just be better pre-built (zero-g rolls, vertical loops, & straight track anyone?). Now it's been months since we were promised the 2nd beta weekend, and instead, us fans of RCT World have been thwarted with another Alienware live broadcast, and numerous ambiguous blog posts. I know that the developers are working hard, and I'm glad. I would much rather have a smooth running & final product, instead of one that is ripe with problems. Did anyone play the Beta Release of RollerCoaster Tycoon World? Is anyone planning on buying the game? What are your thoughts? #RollerCoasterTycoonWorld #RCTW #RCTWorld #RCTWorldBeta #RCTWBeta #HowLongIsTooLong #AbsoluteCoaster #ThemePark #AmusementPark #VideoGame #SimulationVideoGame #SimulationGame #Simulation

Mind Eraser - On Ride POV | Six Flags America [Vekoma SLC]

Brand New POV of a Vekoma "Classic" called Mind Eraser!  There was a period when every park seemed to be building one of these out of the box, duplicated, disaster of a theme park ride.  I feel the coaster community and the general public have a pretty unanimous feeling about these roller coasters, they're terrible!



This one was also one of the roughest, and jerkiest of the variety that i've had the displeasure of experiencing (and I've been on 4 different ones).  I liked Six Flags America overall, but not really this ride.  Somehow, I did manage to ride it twice.  It's tucked away in the back of a corner of the park though so not a very "high traffic" area to begin with.



I'm glad that Vekoma has redesigned their track models, i wish parks would give them a chance, because i've heard they give alot better ride experience.  Also, the new trains that Vekoma uses also improves the ride experience.  Lots of parks that have these rides should at least consider doing that to help.  It's not like the structures are completely unsalvageable.  We've also seen now that the track on steel rides like this can be replaced.  (HINT HINT SIX FLAGS)
