I agree, if they are going to have a water park in the same city, why in the world do this!

cause not only it is six flags but its sfog. they have been doing things that dont make sense since they took out z force to get ninja. THEY ARE CARAZY! I would rather have LW get this instead. they need it more than sfog.

This is just aboutthe weirdest thing ever. Who the hell is gonna go to the Waterpark if they could go to the theme park with some water rides? I guess some poeple really wanna go on the big slides. This is too weird for me. It's like GAm originally wanted to compete with the Dells water parks, but they saw no chance so they made it free with admission.

^^ Carowinds did the same thing. At one time Water Works (before it was called that) was a seperate admisssion thing, you walked under White Lightnin' to get to it.

It was a flop I think and there wasn't much there but the wave pool.

LOL!!

That's so true though...

The thing does look nice with it being so big and all and the theming looks pretty cool, but like everyone else says, why add this when their is a water park a couple of miles away that's owned by the same company!!

What did you just say? Stop saying that LW needs to get _____. Whenever a new ride comes up. They will get rides eventually, but they won't get rides that can compare to large parks like SFoG.

I wouldn't say SFoG is crazy. Getting rid of Z Force was a good thing, because Flashback sucks. I would take Ninja over Flashback any day.

I busted out laughing when I read this, because I was thinking the same thing.

I'm sure it's this way with the rest of the SF parks, but I know SFoG does well with theming that's supposed to be dumpy . . . a la Gotham City. It like, why scrape the gum off the lights in the hallway of B:TR when it fits so well?!? An area like S:UF, in your mind, is supposed to be clean, well-kept, and "crisp"-looking. When it's not, boy! do you notice it!!

TN doesn't happen to have any members who work for SFoG off-season, huh? It'd be nice to see some construction photos.

Yep. Bummer. Not sayin' it won't happen, but seems unlikely.

It seems like something for little kiddies. And it's in the very back of the park, people will have to walk a long way to get there.
Water attractions are the new craze, look at how many are being built inside existing parks.

This is a really stupid move, they should just scrap these plans and make a huge coaster in 06. By huge I mean a giga coaster.

I think we'll see the trend continue as well. Paramount's parks have all had attendance increases with their waterpark additios and expansions, and I thik that's why SF decided to include HH Chicago with GAm admission and add Skull Island to SFOG.

From the looks of it it looks prety cool. Just what SFOG needed for those humid 100 degree summer days.

World's largest water play structure sounds pretty impressive

First off why say STOP saying when thats the first time I have ever said anything like that.

#2 it was a joke because it looks like somthing LW WOULD get and NOT somthing SFog would get. LW did get an old SFOG ride in the past so dont be stupid. remeber the dumb waterslide where scorcher stands now? well if you dont then just go to LW and ride pipeline plunge. who looks stupid now?

#3 flashback may suck now but it rocked when it was z force, dont get me wrong I love ninja but I really loved z-force and thats only my opinion. but yeah they do stupid stuff, look at what they are doing now.

#4 get some idea when somone is poking fun at bad moves.
