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

I love the last shot from the previous update, good stuff.

Hey guys, I need your help! Please post the titles of any songs that remind you of time at an amusement park. I prefer upbeat music from any time period after the 1960's. It would be greatly appreciated!

Today was the first day of first full week operations this summer.


I got to the park an hour before it opened. Why? I don't know.


Green Falcon's line wasn't bad. But I'm not sure why the ride ops weren't sending out full trains.


I see you peaking out from the tree line, Green Falcon!


I only stayed at the park for a few hours but I got rides on every coaster except this one.


Have a great rest of the day!

Wipeout by The Surfaris.

Hey guys, I also need some instrumental music. Same thing goes - any type that makes you think of a day at an amusement park! Thanks for your help!

27th Season

I'm enjoying being off from school for the summer. Next year is my senior year - it's hard to believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was starting middle school and the SFSC website! Enough of memory lane, though!

I haven't heard much about next year. Six Flags is experiencing some financial troubles. We'll see. I think a flat ride would suffice!


Undertaker's layout is very compact.


Batman and V2, now the only inverted coasters at the park (I don't count Falcon). R.I.P. Vulture!


Have a great day!

My summer job at a restaurant that will remain unnamed has kept me from going to the park as often, but today I did get the chance to stop by for a couple hours.


Green Falcon was voted the best coaster in the Carolinas by some newspaper. Although I love the coaster, I don't know about that it's the best.


I'm not sure how this is a Kodak moment...


I see you, Undertaker.


Monday's aren't too crowded.


I haven't heard anything more about next year, but I'll keep my ears open!

There are rumors floating around that next year's new flat ride will be BIG. I've heard that it will be similar to another flatride installed at another Six Flags property recently... hmm.


I got to Green Falcon before the queue could fill up.


A flying coaster's lift hill is very interesting and somewhat terrifying - I always feel as if I'm about to fall out!


I love the coaster's entrance.


Have a great day!

It's August. It's hot. Enough said. On a rather somber note, please keep the folks in New Orleans in your thoughts. Hurricane Katrina will soon make landfall and it's not looking good at all for the city. Six Flags New Orleans is also at risk - the folks from the Charleston Gardens days know all too well what a hurricane can do to an amusement park. Hopefully the storm will pass the city.


Undertaker's... underside.


Can you spot Green Falcon?


I heard a rumor that Gotham City Backlot will someday be extended to where SkyCoaster once was. We'll see...


I am currently in love with the forces of this coaster. It's a love/hate relationship.


Green Falcon says good night.

27th Season

Today's the last day of the season. Astroworld's closure has been announced, the status of SFNO is unknown, and even our own Fright Fest has been cancelled, the season cut two weeks short. Needless to say, things are not looking good for the Six Flags chain. However, the rumors of a new ride for 2011 still persist. I guess we shall see!


This is likely where the new ride will be placed. The Magic Carpet's old platform has been removed.


Batman is due to get a new coat of paint.


Undertaker + Sunset = Win


This might be my favorite part of Undertaker... as long as the brakes are turned off.


My attempt at an artistic photo. Meh.


It's been a great season - I'll see you in the spring!

rumors for a 2011 ride are persisting in 2005?

I'd hope that they'd get a ride by 2011. ether way looks great.

...are these real photographs? This looks too awesome for RCT3.

Somehow I think this park needs ONE MORE plot twist,cd5 how about another sale, considering 2005-2006 absolutley sucked for Six Flags.

2006
Announcement

In 2006, Six Flags South Carolina will debut FIREBOMB, an unbelievable thrill ride attraction, and will honor one of the oldest attractions in the park as it turns 30 years old this year.



FIREBOMB will take fearless thrill-seekers to the outer limits of intensity as it spins riders 105 feet in the air head over heels while rotating 360 degree vertically around a center axis. Riders will experience the unbelievable sensation of flying up to "swat" the sky and diving back down to earth as they circle forwards and backwards. Created by S&S Power Inc., SWAT will make its world debut this spring at Six Flags South Carolina.



Derecho, Six Flags South Carolina's only wooden coaster, will be honored in 2006 as it turns 30 years old. In January, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. Having survived Hurricane Hugo and the resulting closure, Derecho still stands triumphantly near the park's entrance. During the winter months Derecho will receive a major refurbishment which will include a new paint job.

Six Flags, Inc. is the world's largest regional theme park company. Through its subsidiaries, it owns and operates a total of 29 parks in North America. Six Flags parks serve 34 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Six Flags, Inc. is a publicly held corporation with corporate offices in New York City and Oklahoma City. The Company's stock trades on the NYSE under the symbol: PKS.

Yaaaaaaay!!!!
(Applause)

Good luck with the reliability.

Also the name kinda sucks, no offense.

28th Season

Well this was the first time since middle school that I've missed opening day, but I suppose taking the SAT is a valid excuse.

Anyhow, I am extremely impressed with Firebomb. It's an experience like no other, and I mean that!


This is quite a different view!


The ride reverses its direction about halfway the cycle. The ride is definitely not repetitive!


I've seen alot more ads around the park lately. That's corporate Six Flags for ya!


I'll have more pictures tomorrow.

2006

Well guys, I would like to announce that I will be attending the University of Memphis this fall seeking a degree in Hospitality and Resort Management. Yes, that does mean that I will not be able to bring you guys as frequent updates as I can. I am incredibly excited and can't wait to beging this next stage of my life.

With that being said, here's today's update!


I love Washout. I hope the park never removes it.


Green Falcon's line was short for a Saturday. I took advantage of that!


Firebomb had a late opening. It didn't open until early afternoon.

Along with the more vibrant paint job, they've also spruced up Derecho's entrance area a bit. And the coaster is a bit smoother this season!

24th Season

The summer season at Six Flags South Carolina is moving along steadily despite the problems facing Six Flags as a whole. Rumors are swirling about which parks will be put up for sale and Six Flags South Carolina is not out of the question. I don't quite understand how one of the seemingly better properties would be put up for sale so let's hope that it's only a rumor. I suppose time will tell.


Firebomb was closed for two as soon as I got to the park. This is getting old!


I arrived late in the afternoon so I didn't feel like sticking around to get a ride in.


I just now noticed the extra support on V2 that was added during the offseason. A similar support was added at the Six Flags Great America V2.


This ride's quickly getting on my bad list.
