Related Games / Six Flags South Carolina 1975-Today [RCT3]

Haven't been following this that much so I can't really comment on the story but I do love the screens, lovely atmosphere, especially in the first 4 screens. On a side note, something that's even more impressive with this project than it's looks is that this is apparently the 1500th post in this topic and 51 pages running... Amazing, must be some kind of record?

^ Hopefully I'll make it to 2,000!

Announcement

BUGS BUNNY NATIONAL PARK TO EXPAND IN 2004

Six Flags South Carolina, the premier family fun destination in the Carolinas is proud to announce the expansion of one of its biggest attractions, Bugs Bunny National Park.

Guests visiting Six Flags South Carolina will be able to dine with Bugs and his gang at the CHARACTER CAFE. This family style restaurant will serve up kid-friendly cuisine while allowing guests to interact with Bugs Bunny and his friends.

Located right across from the CHARACTER CAFE will be TREE SWINGS, giving the little ones a mild but fun ride around a large tree, simulating a ride on a tree swing.

The popular Scrambler attraction will be moved and refurbished for the 2004 season as it debuts as SYLVESTER'S SPIN inside the newly-expanded Bugs Bunny National Park. The ride has been operating since 1974.

Guests are encouraged to make reservations for the CHARACTER CAFE on Six Flags's website beforehand. 2004 Season Passes are on sale now.

The CHARACTER CAFE will be the biggest sit-down restaurant at Six Flags South Carolina when it opens in 2004.



The new TREE SWINGS will be a great attraction for the younger ones.

Not "Twee Swings"? I though SF was master of the punny kids rides..perhaps not.

26th Season

Welcome to Six Flags South Carolina's 26th Season! It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. They seem to be flying by!

This year's addition isn't a new coaster, but it does show that the park continues to make improvements to the overall guest experience. Bugs Bunny National Park has been a huge hit with the families and I'm sure that this addition will further the area's success.


Here is the new entrance to Bugs Bunny National Park. This entrance is at the end of the Gotham City Backlot. There are now no dead ends at the park, except for the Skycoaster and Picnic Grove area.


Through a friend that works at the park, I was able to go inside the Character Cafe before it opened for lunch.


Costume characters will visit with guests as they dine.


Larger parties are welcome!


Sylvester's Spin, formerly Scrambler, now sports a black paint job in its new location.


I was shocked to see that a large part of Vulture still remained. However, a green and yellow fence borders the ride's station and Scrambler's former area. Hmm...

it cant be.... vulture lives?

Nah, it's going soon. It's going to be torn down sometime during 2004 for 2005's new coaster.

Nah, it's going soon. It's going to be torn down sometime during 2004 for 2005's new coaster.

Or a possibility that Vulture will be rebuilt by Vekoma with floorless trains (hinty hinty hinty :])

But I belive what YOU said is more rational :\

26th Season

It's been a week since the park opened and I thought I'd go see how far along they've come with Vulture's removal.


Rebellion was closed on opening day, but I'm happy to report that it is now open.


I see a few pieces of track have been removed. Management has requested that no deconstruction work occur when the park is open.


They have a long way to go, though.


Kids love Tree Swings!


This is a very quiet area of the park when it's not crowded.

really nice job man... never gets old

Thanks JDP!

26th Season

I had the privilege of meeting with the park's new manager, Landon Mitchell. He's a young guy and seems to have a great vision for the park. It should be interesting to see what he can do in the coming years. Operations at the park have been so-so over the last couple of seasons. Hopefully he can turn that around!

Also, I was told by a "source" the reason why Vulture was not removed during the off-season. The coaster came very close to receiving a makeover and reopening with new floorless trains. The ride would have received a new name, dark red / black paint job, and trains that are similar to those found on Vekoma family inverted coasters. However, it was decided that this new Vulture wouldn't be as marketable with floorless coaster, since Batman, V2, and Undertaker all feature "floorless" trains. So the ride will be scrapped and a different attraction will open in its place.

Now as far as what kind of attraction will take Vulture's place... no one knows. I have heard that Vulture's station will be reused, but even that is unconfirmed. I've heard everything from a wooden terrain coaster to a B&M standup coaster. It's a large plot of land, I'm sure it's going to be big.

You can see an old POV of Vulture in this video: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=486-SYAMGCY


This is a sad sight to see.


This was one of my favorite views of the ride.


Deer Park Plunge's line was short which was surprising for such a hot day.


Tidal Wave's line, however, was 90 minutes long. That's Six Flags for ya!

^No wonder it was 90minutes long when they are sending boats round with only 1 person in them.

LMAO!!! That's what I was thinking!

this park is in need of another wooden coaster
-JDP

yes I agree, we are WAY over due for one.

dude the only thing they're over due for is a solid modern ride and some more family things a good flat could do wonders I think...

That first screen is indeed a really sad screen. R.I.P vulture

26th Season

Vulture continues to come down. However, a saw a sign posted outside the construction fence that read: "What flies towards the sky and dives down to the ground?"

Hmm...


This view is quiet different now.


Tree Swings is a fun ride, especially if you ride backwards.


I got SOAKED on Thunder River.


There's still alot standing.


This little piece of a support was never repainted!

What flies towards the sky and dives down to the ground

An Intamin Accelerator or TA2K?

dude the only thing they're over due for is a solid modern ride and some more family things a good flat could do wonders I think...

someone never went to a six flags park...

okay, so intamin rocket or b&m flyer really seem to be the coasters up for grabs here... i think we'll see an intamin or gci woodie in the near future though
-JDP

I don't think it would be a B&M flyer because they already have a Superman themed coaster. But a gci does seem likely, something like Evil Kneivel maybe?
