20th Season
If you haven't heard by now, Six Flags has been bought by a group called Premier Parks. This will surely make things interesting in the future. But more importantly, Undertaker will open next weekend! The park has already opened for the season, so I was able to get some great shots of the ride.
You can definitely tell the skyline has changed at Six Flags South Carolina!
Most of Undertaker's twisted layout is located next to Thunder River.
The ride's bright color scheme really makes it stand out.
Riders will experience one final pop of airtime on this hill before returning to the station.
The train is running in the opposite direction this season to give riders a better view of Undertaker.
The path which runs from the lower level of the park to the upper level has been widened.
I can't wait to ride it! I'll see you next weekend!

yeah the extended coaster from wild has most elements in diagonal versions aswell...
I think in some places you could add higher fences where the coaster passes for safety issues. -

20th Season
Undertaker opened today, and after waiting an hour to ride, I can say it was well worth the ride!
The ride begins with a straight climb to the 120 foot mark. It's only 5 feet shorter than Derecho! You quickly gain some speed as you make a 270 degree turn after the lift. The first drop is only about 75 feet - you don't drop all the way to the ground... yet. The train speeds into the first immelman turn, and the train then drops 100 feet as it exits that loop. You gotta love terrain coasters!
The train speeds through a short section of straight track as it speeds through a vertical loop. The train then heads into somewhat of a rollover element. The train then passes through the vertical loop before plunging to the left. Once again you're hugging the ground for a split second before you glide over the midway towards the MCBR. Sitting in the back provides some great air on the drop immediately following. The train is sent through a corkscrew element before heading through the final turnaround segment, which includes a pop of airtime!
Before you know it, the ride is over! It's a short ride, but a lot of fun as well.
Arriving at the park later in the day did help - I heard the line was 3-4 hours long at opening!
The ride has a perfect lakeside setting.
It's true - there isn't a floor!
The first drop isn't the biggest!
The immelman turn gives a unique sensation!
Now this is the biggest drop!
The now smaller former Gully Gulch Grill patio gives a great view of Undertaker.
More twists and turns - a lot is packed into this small area!
I'll have some more photos of Undertaker tomorrow!

The park's been open for a couple of weeks now and the guests seem to be liking Undertaker!
I see Undertaker!
Roadrunner Express is still the smallest coaster in the park! I don't know if that will ever change.
That's a tight turn!
First drop.
Let's not forget about Batman!

I was given some great satellite shots of the park last week. It's great to see such a great overview of the park. Special thanks goes to Joseph Reynolds for these images!

Here the entrance plaza and Atlantic Avenue can be seen.
The Gotham Backlot extends farther back into the park.
The upper level of the park is basically a large loop.
You'll find several of the park's themed areas up here.
Thanks again to Joseph Reynolds for letting us see these!

I wasn't aware that you could do diagonal inversions and roll overs in RCT3. Learning new things every day.
The steps you've taken to make this realistic are fucking ridiculous. Well done. -

That spot up in the top right by the shoot-the-chutes looks like a nice place for something to go. -

I am beginning to wonder if an SDC Hurricane would fit in SFSC. Their nice and compact. -

20th Season
I went to the park late yesterday on my way home from work. There isn't a whole lot going on as far as next season goes, but you can tell that Undertaker has brought in more guests - the park was packed!
With new owners in place, everyone is waiting to see how Premier handles these parks. We should begin seeing the real changes in a year or two. Hopefully they are for the better!
The Gotham Backlot lately hasn't been as crowded - I guess since it's the dead end of the park.
Chaos was closed for most of the day.
There's been very little movement in this area. It makes one wonder if this area of the park will ever be developed.
"What do we ride next?"
"Batman!"
Undertaker is beautiful at night.
Night rides on any rollercoaster are the best!

20th Season
Things are slowly gearing up for next season's new attractions. Yes, I said atractions! I've heard that the park has applied for height variance for two attractions which will exceed 200 feet in height. No word yet if either have been approved.
We'll see how this goes! If you haven't put the puzzle pieces together yet, the park was originally set to receive a Mr. Freeze clone that is found at Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags over Texas. However, the city denied their request, so we were given Undertaker!
I've been told there might have been some rezoning done this past year so that it would be easier for Six Flags to build taller than the current 180 foot limit.
The sun rises over Undertaker.
A train speeds into the final brake run.
I apologize for the excess of Undertaker photos!
This new wider path really aleviates the crowding problems sometimes experienced on busy days...
...like today!
What a classic shot...
I'm really surprised, this area has been untouched since Six Flags bought the park.
