GASM at SFGAdv is Done

Six Flags has announced that on July 18th 2010 the Great American Scream Machine will be closing and removed from the park. There is the possibly of Chang going in to the park in 2011 but I dont want to jump the gun on that.

Six Flags will send out GASM with the last trains seats auctioned off to help the National Roller Coaster Museum and Archives.

Rumor was it would have been finished after last Thurday, but we all saw it coming. Sad, but it had to go.

So now the only one left is viper. Sad to see it go, but the arrow mega-looper is a dying breed I guess...

and vortex

But Chang is awesome so whatever

That sucks. GASM was a really cool ride so I hate to see it going away. But yeah, that's what happens with Six Flags maintainance on older rides... I'm glad that I still got a ride on this classic looping coaster. [:)]

^ meh, I didn't think it was great. Neither did t'missus. We were at the park for two days, we rode it on the first day once, and didn't bother on the second. That way we squeezed in extra rides on rides like El Toro and Nitro, oh yeah and Skull Mountain, pure awesome! [:D]

And what about Anaconda?
BTW,GASM should called now Great American Scrap Metal...
I wish I could ride it before it will be scrapped.

How much are the seats going for? I want one!

thats a shame i was at the park once before but i was to small to ride it and i dont think i can convince the family to take me to cali to ride viper
anyway i wonder how much a whole train would be?

[slosprint]

I just want a seat which I would rig on office chair wheels for in front of my computer

lol

soz if thats been done before.


And this is a good move. It was a pain to maintain and wasn't very good. Chang fufills the standup need.

The ride was awesome. Definately my #3 in the park. I hate standups.

Yea, your not getting a seat so stop acting like your funny.

Its an auction to ride the last trains for the last time.

It's a good thing I'm going to be able to ride this on the 13th-15th

I might have to take a trip next weekend I suppose.

1: It's "you're"

2: I actually misinterpreted that. I thought it would be love cool to have an arrow seat just plunked down in my living room.

I'd love it myself lol.

That would be the coolest thing to have in a living room, let alone a house!
