Some construction companies are finding ways around the wording though. But for reference, they didn't even obtain the permitting for the Hurricane Harbor expansion until April last year. Same for Pandemonium in April of 2018. #Post#: 2231-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: Mrceagle Date: April 2, 2020, 2:25 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Sadly all that is going on will not only delay opening but delay any new additions that were not already in place or almost in place. #Post#: 2232-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: depotrat Date: April 2, 2020, 9:58 pm --------------------------------------------------------- This is going to be a very rough season if not a lost season. Legoland already announced changing their grand opening to 2021. Many of the new attractions for 2020 like this one will not be ready when parks finally open if they do open. China started opening back up last month and now I hear they are backing off some permissions due to new outbreaks. This is not good news. China is about 90 days ahead of the USA on the timeline (although not exact in approach and mitigation of the spread) so if they are not ready to have parks going strong in April it is hard to see how USA will be by July. So I guess my point is that this attraction in upstate NY won't be the only one delayed this summer, they probably all will be and some to 2021. #Post#: 2233-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: Metsfan Date: April 3, 2020, 2:34 pm --------------------------------------------------------- These Six Flags parks lacked cleanliness even before this outbreak so I'm sure when/if parks do reopen, people (including myself) are going to be skeptical about going to the parks for a while. It's not even realistic to think that rides could be disinfected/wiped down between each and every cycle. And tables at the food places were rarely cleaned even before all this. And don't even get me started on the REPULSIVE water park locker rooms and lockers, along with all the tubes and slides. You likely won't catch me at New England or Great Escape this summer unless things really die down. #Post#: 2237-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: Mrceagle Date: April 5, 2020, 12:13 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I suspect I will go to each park but I was careful when I went. I will be even more careful now. 2021 should be a straight capital improvement year with trees and facilities being the main focus. They have a late opening big ride they can ride out which woudl mage this move at TGE even easier. #Post#: 2261-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: CodyatTGE Date: April 24, 2020, 4:49 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I think Adirondack Outlaw is probably gonna be built still. Six Flags is going to want to add some rides in 2020 still and this ride has already been bought. I’m guessing TGE is safe because- A) The park fought tooth and nail with the town to get it built, why give up now? B) It’s a very easy build, 2-3 day max. C) Six Flags has been pushing this because it is ‘essential for Ghost Town,’ which has declining foot traffic. D) The park has been growing substantially over the last year and Six Flags may want to see attendance continue to grow, this will help that. #Post#: 2262-------------------------------------------------- Re: Adirondack Outlaw By: Mrceagle Date: April 25, 2020, 6:58 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I'm not concerned about the ride. If I gave that impression it was not what I meant. I suspect it will be very much delayed. ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
