seriously people this is WAY good news. it means that the same thing could happen to revolution.. not expecting much from six flags, (which i regard as the mc donalds of park chains) but it's a nice thought

The new logo of SDL looks really cool.
The trains look nice as well.

To be completely fair, weren't the Revolution modifications were not exactly planned by Six Flags and were more of a "California ignoring real problems by fixing incredibly small problems that didn't ever exist" issue?

Nice! I'd love to get on a good Schwarzkopf sometime soon. Those trains look beautiful, Gerstlauer did a great job. I'm curious if it helps out with comfortableness, smoothness, pacing, or any and all of the above.

I really hope Magic Mountain steps up and does the same for Revolution. It's a great classic coaster, but the retrofitted OTSR are VERY uncomfortable and detract from what should be a fun ride.

i can only imagine, but i'd say hell yes.. especially in the case of revolution,it's gotten a bad reputation for being too slow and too rough, and the head banging .. new trains like this would be awesome, especially with the magnetic brakes..

Never been on it, but I find it amazing how that ride could get so screwed up.

I honestly felt that H:RRR had so much going for it, but it's really fallen on my expectations after only 3 years of life. It is such a unique ride, but it can't even work properly for long periods at a time.
Oh, were you expecting something here?
