Am I the going to be the only one that says that prelift looks annoying? I know it's more interesting than the original track and that it's RMC going nuts again but I have some doubts with that section.

No, I agree, I feel like the train would be moving far to slow over them hills to actually be fun, instead just shifting you to the side awkwardly.

^ Have you ever been on Colossus? Because that ride picked up quite a bit of speed heading down towards the lift hill, as that entire section was built on a downward slope. Those twists are what, 5-10ft off the ground?

Picks up a LOT of speed to the lift. I'm not worried

[Paradox]

I love how they advertise 18 moments of airtime when 1/4-1/2 of it will be before the lift.

^well said

I remember from my ride on Colossus, that Six Flags had turbo friction wheels in the station, just to make sure the train made the lift hill.
Looking at the photo of the prelift, it looks like some scale model coaster in an attempt to lay a straight piece of track.

The park looks so much better in the rain lol
The rides feel much more intense, and fun. A hyper coaster in the rain is something else.
Lex Luther in the rain felt like lex Luther without rain.
Apocalypse felt bumpyer than normal, a couple weeks ago it was fine.
Scream needs a makeover, it's a great coaster, but suffers from location.
Batman was amazing as always, my favorite B&M invert, and it proves B&M can make fast paced coasters. Only wish they made more coasters like batman.
Superman was closed
Ninja felt like it was running slow. Still one train...
Full throttle was closed...
Viper was great too, the first half feels very fast.
Everything else was normal, rainy day so less people.
But one train operations on everything.
Holiday in the park looked very nice, I was impressed to be honest.
Construction on colossus seemed to be focused on the drop/ lift hill. Bracing on current track was put on as well like the prelift.

Awesome photos!

Can SFMM just please put some kind of theme around scream? I donno maybe just one tree? Or a Pot plant or something?

Was just thinking that myself ^

I don't see anything wrong with parking lot coasters ps I love the pictures

[TTD03]

Cool pics! The rumor is that scream is getting a new name and paint come next year!

^ and a pot plant?

^its six flags they don't want to waste money that's why there adding the looper rides

I don't see anything wrong with Scream the way it is. Just paint the ride/trains, and get rid of the parking lines underneath. A Rename would be nice, but I dread the name they'd come up with lol.

^lol I have a idea for a name for them goliath 2.0 think they don't have enough goliath rides in the park

^ True story. lol

Honestly don't think a name for a ride could get worse than SCREAM!

Ya sure? I can think of quite a few worse names
