SF Great America Discussion

Maxx Force track pieces starting to show up at Six Flags Great America. Something like this would be an awesome addition for SFNE! Pics thanks to the sfgampictures Instagram account.

I wouldn't be surprised if Six Flags builds several coasters like this. We will probably see these at Six Flags Mexico, Six Flags New England, and Six Flags Over Georgia.

Well they like recycling ride ideas so anything is possible

Marcus Leshock from WGN9 in Chicago posted a nice video of Holiday in the Park.

Park looks really nice. thanks for sharing that.

Are you talking about max force? that dosn't look cookie cutter. or are you talking about another attraction

It becomes cookie cutter if you start cloning it everywhere.

I get the reference now. I don't really see this going that route. for starters it seems to be using the terrain a big. Its also not a compact layout that is easily tossed in wherever they want.

Maxx Force is like full throttle. They aren't going to be cloned because they were both specifically designed around the constraints of the parks.

Here is a rendering from the Physics Day teachers manual. Maxx Force looks like an easy ride to clone if a park has the space.
