It is nice to see Six Flags doing some fixing up of some of the older coasters.
They did the same with Mr. Freeze at Six FLags T. Louis, They painted it dark blue.

That ride looks amazing. I did like the Medusa theme, but this looks GREAT!

That ride now looks like insanity!

It really sucks that they cannot find a way to like...mold the props better into the enviornment, they are just on like...sticks! In randomn uneeded places...idk, kind of cheezy, but hey, it's kicks ass, and that's all that matters!

grrrrr, I hate that constant camera switching, noone wants to see the riders, and why did they only have any actual pov camera shots on the lift?[:(!] and I have a feeling that something may go wrong one day with that fire.[xx(]

The "fire"...is so weak. Unless it's the crappy angles. I mean sure you might feel the heat, but come on. It's like a mile away and you don't really get to see it, which kinda kills the whole, "GAHH It's FIRE" thing. I mean if they some how could figure out how to position it so it it's like X2's, so you can actually see without the use of your peripherals(?), then I think the scare factor will go up. But again I can't really judge this ride because the video is really crappy. But it still looks fun. I like the fog effect although it was being blown away by the wind.

I needed that heat when I was waiting in line for Raging Bull on the 9th. It wasn't that cold out, but the wind chill was freezing, not to mention I almost froze to death on the ride. lol

That was almost as bad as the first one. The only thing more annoying than a large amount of changing camera angles is some one who looks in a direction almost opposite of the ride.

I know I'm going to sound like a dick-face by saying this, but when somebody decides to "film" a PV and plans on putting it on the Web then I would highly suggest you do it right and good. I'm not saying I can do better, it just gets annoying when I see things like that. I feel like saying you wasted your time, I should go back in time and punch you in the face and shank(?) you before you even woke up that morning.[devilish]

Anyways. thanks for the Video. Not your fault that kid can hold a damn camera.

I wonder if anybody is going to say..."don't like don't watch it" or something like that.[lol]

That was much better. Great find!

I actually think they did a pretty good job on this minus the fire effect, but then again I don't really think you can do much better with the fire without it being a safety hazard. Kudos to them for this "economy new ride".

As quick as the fire is[basically just shoots and its just fireballs and not shot long], and as far as they are from the track..you DO feel them its not intense, but you do feel them on the ride as well as in the line.

Well, I would say that it is definitely an improvement. A break from the monotony of the standard B&M layout, that was Medusa. All the stuff going on might actually draw your attention away from the fact that the ride is still just as dull as was before [lol]

And how ever annoying the girl is in the first POV posted, she'd still get it.

I've been on Medusa without the Bizarro treatment and to tell you the truth it wasn't all that exciting, but I'm interested in seeing how much all of this adds to the ride! If only Scream! here at SFMM would get a makeover like this, IMO it needs one.
