That entire area tends to get deal you have 2 old rides and a
new family ride but its a dead end. I'd hate to loose Houdini
but if Tomahawk ever cam out the new ride should come with a
overhaul of the area and A rehab to Houdini.

A launched coaster or something like Maverick at Cedar Point
would be good for the park. The problem is it would need to be
customized to fit into a tight space and that costs extra money.
What we would probably end up getting is a clone of a Sky
Rocket which they could wedge into the spot Flashback sits on.
Further down the road you may see Blizzard River retired and
that space used for another coaster.

Thats just a sad thing to think about the parks best water ride
and one of their more unique rides removed for yet another
coaster. no parks needs coasters so close you can spit and hit 3
of them.

I 100% agree but the trend seems to be not in favor for
standalone water rides these days. Six Flags has done a
terrible job of investing in flat rides over the years. We are
lucky to have as many as we do but it’s not even close to what
we had a decade ago...
Time Warp
Double Trouble
Chaos
Spider
Colossus
Nightwing
Skyride
Twister
Buzzsaw
Rodeo
Log Flume
Six Flags has forgotten you need to offer something for guests
to do which aren’t roller coasters.

That have been addressing this recently at all the Six Flags
parks. It isn't going to be an overnight thing but recently we
have gotten some good flat rides. Sky Screamer, Rocking Rodeo,
Fireball, Harley Quinn and Cyborg. Sure we've lost older ones.
But generally they've all been major upgrades. The last coaster
we got was Wicked Cyclone which no one can complain was bad for
the park... The water rides in parks are a dying thing even at
non six flags parks, we also have access to a free water park
included so losing another expensive to run and staff water ride
in the dry park would not hurt many peoples view of the park.

I wouldn't put Fireball on the list of Good flats. I road it and
it's nothing special
I get the argument but its hassle to have to change just to
cool off. Rapids rides and Flumes are great attractions. In fact
you get far more ride in those water rides that most of the
water slides combined. They are not a Dying thing there are
still parks putting in water rides. Yes SFI seems to be giving
them up and Sea world removed he flume at their Texas park but
parks like Lego land have added water attractions.

And I still miss Catapult and even Sea Dragon (I still can't
believe Sea Dragon has now been gone for 18 years)! Out of
curiosity, anyone here remember what was the last year of the
Music Express? I want to say it lasted to somewhere around the
mid 1990's.

I don't believe it was there when I visited in 06. So sometime
before that.

I’m hoping that water ever is coming next year starts showing
some signs around the park soon!
