Six Flags America 2015 - Bourbon Street Fireball

[TTD03]

Coming in 2015! Bourbon Street Fireball, a seven story, chaotic looping roller coaster, will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. This sizzling steel monster towers over the Mardi Gras section of the park, delivering 360-degree thrills to those who are brave enough to ride!

You??????ll rock back and forth in a uniquely designed train that will reverse direction mid-loop. Then, you??????ll hang suspended upside down just long enough to catch your breath, this fireball will shoot you through a series of heart pounding full-circle revolutions. The unpredictable Bourbon Street Fireball looms high over Mardi Gras classics like Ragin Cajun and Wild One, serving up world class excitement at Six Flags America.

Bourbon Street Fireball is a seven-story tall looping steel roller coaster. This ultimate thrill machine is ready to create chaos with its uniquely designed train seating riders in a forward or backward, face to face position.

You??????ll experience a pendulum-style take off before hanging suspended upside-down 70 feet off the ground. After a moment of being completely inverted in space, you??????ll race through a series of full 360 loops changing direction halfway through the ride! Bourbon Street Fireball is the 10th world-class coaster to be built at Six Flags America.

One word: Hmm.

Why Cedar Fair is better, Exhibit A.

Looks like Six Flags bought up another pack of filler rides.

Hey, at least it's not a used Boomerang.

I'm surprised no one posted a photo of it getting delivered today on here

At least a Boomerang is an actual Roller Coaster.

To be honest, I'd rather ride a potato.

Six Flags went down to Costco and got the 5 pack of Larson rings. They were on sale and they got a good deal.

In all seriousness, I don't get why everyone is bashing these rides to death because they look like decently fun rides. I don't really mind that they're being called coasters because, even though we know they really aren't, it will probably be better for marketing the ride.

They're one of the few rides that can make me motion sick. I hate it.

We're bashing them because you can go ride it for 5 bucks at your local fair. Plus it would probably run on a longer cycle there.

Also, when I first heard the name the first thing I thought of was...

If Six Flags build that bottle of whiskey it probably would be more a coaster with more fans than these rides.
