New Rides at Six Flags

I think the coaster being used for Green Lantern at Six Flags Magic Mountain would be great at Movie World, great use of a lack of space available..... http://www.sixflags.com/magicMountain/ride...nlanternla.aspx

Absolutely agree with you! I've been saying for ages that this would be a fantastic addition to either of the Gold Coast parks (MW or DW). They are relatively cheap, they look the business (check out Mumbo Jumbo in Flamingo Land in England), they ride really well, they have decent capacity and yes, they have a silly small footprint. Apart from the fact t isn't a B&M flyer, it is the perfect choice! Cheers!

Personally I think that Green Lantern and these type of coasters are look awful though I think if it was built indoors it would be a fantastic addition but I realise that the enclosing structure would have to be huge.

Wow, that looked pretty intense. The track design is obviously Intamin. Just looked up Wikipedia, and it's an Intamin ZacSpin.

Whats the approx cost of one of these Intamin ZacSpin?

^The ride going in at Six Flags is a clone of Insane at Grona Lund in Stockholm. Their version cost 50 Mil Kronor....or about 7.6 Mil AUD.

I've been on Insane at Gronalund and Kirnu at Linnanmaki, and they are a unique experience. Some people on the tour loved them, I just thought they were interesting but not great. If you are facing outwards when you hit the bend on the drop it really punches you in the guts which is obviously uncomfortable (even moreso after the amount of alcohol I had consumed at Gronalund prior to our ERT session). I'm surprised SFMM got one of these just simply because they don't really have the capacity that I would expect a large park like SFMM would require. Hopefully they will have an entertaining queueline.
