Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Can I Make a Request? A Balin's Jungleland Spotlight? Either that or Another Planned But Never Built (The Wooden Coaster maybe?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,003 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 ^ We welcome any requests, and do take them into consideration when we put together our schedule. We can't get to all of them right away, but we will get to all of them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThemeParkRider 5 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 Awsome! Perhaps when you get enought material, have you considered the Log Flume? Other than that, I'm excited because another Spotlight comes out tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAcoaster 147 Report post Posted January 15, 2011 With some of these spotlights it's feast or famine...there is either so little (or at least so little in our collection right now) that the spotlight would be really small, or there is so much that turning it into a spotlight is a MAJOR undertaking. Log Flume is a perfect example of a HUGE spotlight because we have so many pictures and it's difficult to figure out just how to present them all effectively, plus we keep getting more and more. Rolling Thunder and GASM were also examples of these. Another problem is what do we do when we keep getting more information and pictures for a spotlight? We have to keep revising the pages. Right now I think we'll mainly be concentrating on a couple of the small spotlights with some of them building up to major spotlights (whole sections of the park), but there may be a biggie or two coming in the next few weeks.

Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 IMO, The Modern Stuff (Dark Knight, Green Lantern, Bugs Bunny National Park, Golden Kingdom, etc.) would be easier than the older stuff (Jumbo Jet, Strawberry Fair, Planned but never built, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,003 Report post Posted January 16, 2011 The newer Spotlights usually require less research but are often much larger with videos, renderings, simulations, press releases, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted January 25, 2011 How About an Update on Fright Fest in the Halloween Area? OR A Planned but Never Built? OR Would you consider the sponser thing I suggested? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,003 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 ^ All good ideas! We will probably have an update to the Halloween Events page this fall as part of the 20th Anniversary of Fright Fest. We would love to do another Attractions Planned But Never Built Spotlight, but we need to do additional research before we can release the next one. Watch for the Sponsors Spotlight in the upcoming months. It is a great idea! In the meantime, tomorrow is the 26th! Spotlights are on-deck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 I Guess 29yearswithaGApass went to bed early tonight. (I Can't blame him though) Here's Hoping for a Golden Kingdom/Balin's Jungleland Spotlight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,003 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 Not sleeping yet! Our next Spotlight will be rolled out later today. Finishing touches are still being done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
29yrswithaGApass 1,003 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 So, by the calendar we should have introduced 8 new Spotlights and/or features so far this year with our new Spotlights on the Six's campaign. Since the first of the year, we have actually introduced 18 new Spotlights/features! How cool is that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 Bit of an Odd Request (That's Impossible) but: The Coca-Cola Cool Zone? I Just kinda wanna know why Six Flags Added these to various Properties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAcoaster 147 Report post Posted May 4, 2011 We'll see what we can do! I'm just finishing up the next two spotlights for the 6th and the 16th. We'll be away for a week or two and we'll be crazy busy with the opening of Green Lantern coming up so I'm putting the spotlights and newsletters together in advance!

Coaster Justin 25 Report post Posted May 26, 2011 No Offense but with all those rides, you left out something Important IMO: Why Were they Removed (Maintenance or Otherwise) Wow, I Feel like a Jerk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAcoaster 147 Report post Posted May 26, 2011 In most cases we really don't know why they were removed. There's really no official word on why most attractions are removed. We know that Wild Flower and Jumbo Jet were leased with the option to buy which the park apparently didn't exercise (just like the first Enterprise). We assume the same was true with Super Cat. With Skooter and Tilt-A-Whirl we assume it was a case of eliminating excess capacity at a time when the park was doing very poorly attendance wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
