RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - Cobra - Aug 31, 2014
Wicked Cylone
-> not bad, an solid RMC, looks like fun
Twisted Colossus
-> great idea to combiend the old Colossus flair with new technology, but its to over hyped.
the High-Five element isn't new, but it looks better with the 90° angle and its only one long track.
That doesn't counts as an racing coaster.
Racing Coasters like "Duelling Dragons" or "Gwazi" have two stations with two different ride feelings on each side/part. and with two stations/coaster the capacity could be better (four trains)
Batman - The Ride
-> i agree with Cheleste, fail of 2015, but better than this Looping Flatride bullshit that some other SixFlags Parks become 2015.
I think it could be smoother than Intamin's "Zac-Spin"-Types, infact of the technology from X² they used on this.
And well, its really a fact, that SixFlags gives only there better/bigger/popular parks the "grand" things, and the smaller ones become only this flatride looping thingy.
Great idea, make the big ones bigger and the small ones more unpopular with this actions!
Result is that more people wont buy an 2015-Season-Pass.
So the Price for the stupidest management 2015 goes to "SixFlags".
Soo long, Cobra

I Think it looks really good. Lets say that its not a coaster and its a flat ride with coaster parts. Will it still be fun to ride? Just because its not a legit "Coaster" doesn't mean its not fun to ride.
Honestly I would rather have this than another run of the mill coaster that is at every park.
But I understand what you're saying, and it's hard to be excited about a coaster that is not at your home park.
As good as Wicked Cyclone and Twisted Colossus are, these RMC's are getting a wee bit repetative.

All I have to say is... Tell me one way Batman: The Ride is a fail.
RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - Rudy18 - Aug 31, 2014
The only way I see batman as a fail is the name, but the coaster itself isnt that bad. I more see those looping dragon "coasters" as a fail, since they are basic fairground rides six flags is deciding to call a "coaster".
RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - nathan8848 - Aug 31, 2014
So will Colossus have 2 stations or 1 since the ride goes through both sides? If only 1, then the capacity of the ride will be bad, unless they can fit more then 4 trains. Also Colossus will only duel the first month, then back to the regular operations.
RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - Cheleste - Sep 1, 2014
@ nathan nathan8848:
Twisted Colossus has only one station with three trains on it.
One train in the station, the other two syncrosized on the track.
The speed on both lifthills can be adjusted, so that both trains reach at the same time the top of it.
This should be work fine.
But i don't like this only one station thing. Two stations with four trains could do more ride capacity and if one side are broken down, the other side can still work without syncro.
If Twisted Colossus brokes down in the future the whole coaster stands still with his 4990 ft lenght.
@Rudy18 & rccoa:
Rudy19, your right infact of the name. That is like i said a fail.
And the people who dont likes this Intamin "Zac-Spin clone", like i do, don't say this couldn't be fun.
But the fact is that this Zac-Spin 4D designs are more an flatride than a coaster!
You can call it "Floorless Top-Spin on a Coaster-Rail", because it isn't any more.
The kind of rotations are exactly the same that the people have on an Top-Spin/Graviton flatride.
Maybe this little airtime that you have makes the differents on it.
Against this looping flatride orange that most other SixFlags will become 2015, Batman - the Ride is a blessing
I would ride a 4D Zac-Spin more than this boring looping thingy!

And the last 5 years yields investments each less than 3,000,000 dollars. And before six flags, we got coasters every other year:
Wicked Cyclone:
- looks not bad but nothing special, more an standard RMC hybrid coaster with the boring orange tack color
Twisted Colossus:
- not really a suprise that they build an RMC, but whats that, different track colors
- layout looks interesting and the near missle inversions and the "high-five" element are new
- i like that they build a kind of "New Generation Colossus" infact that the old coater had so much fans
- but the bad thing is that what "TheMaxster" wrotes, its only one big long track not really a racing duelling coaster
Batman The Ride:
The Award for the fail 2015 goes to SFFT for this one!
This isn't a coaster, its nothing more than an flatride with coaster parts.
It's only an S&S version of Intamin's Zac-Spin 4D Coasters. And they are also not really a coaster.
A real coaster has twists, turns, airtime -> but this has only spins, and more spins and a little bit of airtime.
And the name is an epic fail!
Everyone who hears/reads "Batman - The Ride" thinks first "B&M Inverter" standart model.
The standart model is often build but its not bad, but nameing a 4D S&S coaster this name makes no sense. That makes this "coaster" even more crapier than it is.
A big sorry to all SixFlags Fiesta Texas Fans/Visitors/SeasonPassHolders, you guys deserves an more better type of coaster than this Batman thing.
BtW, you forgot the amzing SixFlags Great Adenture one "Looping Dragon"
The next fail from SixFlags, maybe this ones beats SFFT's Batman crap with the fail award 2015!
Thats again only an flatride with coaster parts, nothing more.
The same as for SFFT, you guys deserves a better coaster, too!
If we think all over it, than the result can be:
It seems that only the profitable and popular Sixflags Parks become good solid coasters and the oher ones becomes the rest.
And in the end the popularity from these smaller SixFlag Parks goes more into the ground, infact of the bad/boring new coasters.
Great Job SixFlags Management!
With these actions, they will defently loose alot of Fans and SeasonPassHolders.

93 was batman
95 was viper
96 was skull mountain
97 was robin and chilller

01 was nitro
03 was superman
05 was kingda ka
06 was el toro
and when six flags comes in
09 green lantern
SERIOUSLY ONE COASTER IN 8 YEARS?!?!?!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - rccoa coasters - Sep 23, 2014
But if you compare Batman to a Zac-spin, Batman is actually a whole lot bigger and better and more deserves the name of a coaster to me.
RE: Six Flags 2015 Coasters (and not the meteorite rides) - Pineracer - Sep 24, 2014
you forgot dark night witch was 2008, Kentucky kingdom did not close till 2010 and green lantern opened in 2011 so its only about 4 years from lantern but you're about right for "new new" coasters.
