I don't understand why they would change a classic ride that's not even that old into Bizzaro? I don't really know why they spend the extra money and time if It's the same coaster.

It's just Six Flags' way of trying to bring in more people into their parks.

It's just Marketing.

No, it's six flags way of dumping uneeded ammounts of cash into rides that were magnificent in their original state.

New theming package is cheaper than a new ride, and just as marketable apparently.

Yeah, that ride rarely had long lines, and I think it deserved more ridership than it saw. Not my favorite ride ever but definitely one of high quality. That, and what the others here said.

And because they "just" can. Maybe they'll do what they did at MM. Re-amp a ride and then add another next year. IDK....when it comes to Six Flags...well lets just say your better off being blind in a maze that'll kill you if you can ever get to the end.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

..Why not?

It was in need for some TLC. Its stuck in the corner of the park. Rarely had a long line. Its just a way to improve a not so popular ride.
Its still the same ride..just added effects, i see no reason why anyone should be upset about it.

Scream is the same way with the lines. They always let me and my buddies stay on the ride, as long as we want, and as long as there isn't someone waiting in line.

It's six flag's way of cheapening an already awesome ride by giving it a paint job and new name.




Bizarro will always be Medusa to me
