I almost considered buying their stock when it was at 25 cents. It was transferred to lesser know theme park companies several times over the last 10 years, barely even news worthy. Now I just gotta figure out what is better for me, a season pass, or buying a monthly membership...... But more important, is the dancing old guy still alive?

I knew it was years ago, and I remember the commercials with the creepy dancing guy too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an injury or two recently on the Silver Bullet. It would be cool if they announced that they'd be RMC'ing the Predator, but my guess would be that's a few years out of Six Flags thinks they are profitable. Can the narrator possibly sound more boring? Don't touch The Predator. I always feel like I might die every time I ride it, and that's how I want it to stay.

The guy did an incredible amount of research, but he should have somebody else just read what he wrote in a more enthusiastic tone. I couldn't watch the video for very long.

I wouldn’t even ride the kid’s on at the local fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the climb of a coaster but once it goes down its all fun from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
