That is going to provide a great welcome to people pulling through the parking lot toll booths. BTW, does Six Flags have some sort of contract agreement with B&M?

Green Lantern is the new name for Chang, which came from SF in Kentucky, which closed, and Chang is a nearly mirror image of Mantis at Cedar Point Park, not a SF park. 'splainin to do???

Not a bad accent to Superman, but I feel like its a tad cluttered. We'll see how it turns out.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Yeah doesn't really matter too much, but I agree that it's cluttered. Looks really ugly to me...though I guess I care more about the ride quality than the appearance.

You have to admit Scream Pulls some nice forces. And there is nothing like whizzing around in the helix, front row, very right seat, with that hard asphalt inches away from your face [:)]

It's a pretty decent coaster, just in a horrible location. I just want them to take out the asphalt and lets weeds grow there at least. It jsut ugly with asphalt and chain-link fence.

By the way, Screams Zero-G is pretty legit.

Yeah I'ts nice. The only problem about Scream though is it has gotten pretty rough for a B&M lately. If you look closely, you can see the trucks (if that is the right term) holding the wheels in pretty loose or something. It just seems that the trucks and equipment is all loose and in need of repair.

I agree with the poor location of Scream! Seeing an old section of the parking lot under the ride makes it kind of look like a fair/carnival ride.

Looks like they'll be done with the loop by today or tomorrow.

Also, I like how the parking lot basically flows right onto Green Lanterns plot of land.

erUPtion was a much better name. Glad Tango is back though.

EDIT: Oh, erUPtion is gone it seems as the ride, and the name is getting updated/replaced.

^not sure if the 'slingshot' ride will be named slingshot, but by the looks of it, erUPtion isnt out of the question, the sign is still on the booth.





EDIT:

Loop is done!
