  • Tag along as I tour the #MaxxForce construction site at #SixFlagsGreatAmerica and get an up close look at the trains for the new launch coaster. We also talked with park president Hank Salemi about the progress on the construction and when the ride might open.
    More details from my visit coming on my Coastin' the Country podcast.

    Why can’t Six Flags get there stuff together? Cedar Fair has long had most of their new attractions open, even in Canada where the climate was colder! Six Flags use to be the best regional park for innovation AND on time rides (for the most part) but over the past few seasons they have gotten slower and slower!

    • @goldranger2
      @goldranger2 Před 5 lety

      Because now they intentionally wait a while after the park opens for the year (they usually like to open new rides on Memorial Day weekend, when possible) to get a second attendance draw, thus earning them more money.

    • @RedPandaStan
      @RedPandaStan Před 5 lety +1

      what goldranger said, this was an intentional decision. not to mention complaining here is pretty stupid, The rides ARE on time from when they planned to open it and this is a pretty innovative ride. Like this ride is getting so much hate for no reason, it's insane.

    • @mangalytical4539

      This has usually been the case for most sixflags parks long before this trend of adding new additions has been in to play. I thought I wish they would pick up the pace but i feel its worth the wait lad. Specially since cedar fair isn’t opening any coasters better than this as of this year
