Stuff Six Flags Says

[Mikey]

The gyst of this topic is pretty simple, point out stuff that Six Flags marketing department says that stretches the truth.

I will start.

You'll always love riding an authentic steam engine around the best sites of the park on the Whistle Stop train.

I fail to see where a diesel powered engine built in 1992 is an "authentic steam engine".

Good going - and we'll try finding more! Memes for Six Flags!

I guess the marketing of Larson Loops goes without saying?

In their Holiday in the Park guide, Six Flags Fiesta Texas says this about their Boomerang:

It's 125 feet. That's like 13 stories.
What is a super-coaster.
Their description of the layout is flagrantly wrong.

In their regular Boomerang description page, Six Flags Fiesta Texas says this:

According to convertunits.com, a megaton is 2,204,622,622 pounds.
Their description of the layout is still completely inaccurate.
Also the last sentence is strange. "You will go fast and then it will end."

I hope that was written before non-inverting loops were a thing

Honestly, not surprised to see all of this.

Regarding Demon, I'd believe there is a brief 5G slam but not 6.

The flatspins on Batman are whipped over way too quickly to be 3 seconds each lol. And I highly doubt the entire industry was not trying to make inverted coasters a possibility before B&M did.

I love that you guys are citing sources, it ensures we are maintaining some level of journalistic integrity.

I guess that Super-Coaster means the regular coaster that is shorter than Hyper lol!

Super Slamming Coaster maybe. I've only been on one Boomerang, the one at Hersheypark, but I've heard that's one of the nicest.

Still want to experience a bad SLC so I can see what all the hate is about.

Come to Lake Compounce and ride Zoomerang. It's probably the smoothest boomerang out there

Mr Freeze in St. Louis is a bungee swing ride made by "Vekhoma". Ninja at the same park is also made by "Vekhoma" (this typo absolutely screams 'unpaid intern was being yelled at' while typing this).

^ What the, how can they make that big of a mistake

[Mikey]

Wanted to expand on this....

You'll slam out of the station at 70 miles per hour, backwards!

- Did legal approve of this? That sounds like an admission the ride is painfull.

You'll immediately be shot into a 150-foot "top hat" loop. That means while you're hurtling up and down the 90 degree slopes of this loop, backwards, your train will twist around the track as you flip, remaining upright the entire time.

- Hurtling implies free trajectory, free trajectory on a high speed tracked vehicle incapable of stable controlled flight is generally considered bad for ones health. So if it's a loop with two 90 degree slopes then how does one possibly stay upright?

Then your immediately hustled right into a 120-degree banked turn, a big glorious arch as wide as the sky.

Hustled is what most guest with out a parking pass describe the event that happened between the street and the place they parked their car on Six Flags property.

Feeling the chill yet? That's just the gale force wind blasting you as you prepare to do this entire trio a second time - this time facing forward.

Technically the scheduled exit speed for a train departing the spike would put the train traveling at speeds in the gap between gale and hurricane force. Some how I don't think the wind chill on a 95 degree day is going to reach the level of chill, but maybe I am not dehydrated enough from the lack of water fountains yet.

At least SFOT Texas knows it's not "Vekhoma".

I literally can't believe they set Mr Freeze as a Bungy style swing ride. Even for an unpaid intern, the pictures alone show that it is not any style of swing ride lol.

Six Flags St. Louis's description of their Boomerang is shockingly detailed and accurate (though I think the corkscrew directions are mixed up).

[Mr. Freeze]

Got to love my work sometimes

[Mikey]

Apparently drop towers with out floors are rare. And you may be provided with an insufficiently small seat and safety harness to ride.

[Paradox]

Do they like not have a legal department?

Hi is spelled wrong.
ULTRA UNIQUE!!!! ENTER THE LOOP SIDEWAYS!!!
Sound Barrier? what?

[Mr. Freeze]

Magic Mountain everyone

^^ Can't help laughing!

You won't believe how smooth this ride is, because it isn't. Well, it might have been when it first opened at its former location.

Cuz Riddler's Revenge doesn't have one, and neither does Rougarou. I was kinda half expecting a description of SFMM's Green lantern with a pic of Great Adventure's, or vice versa.

[Paradox]

They used the wrong form of "you're"
