I guess Time flies when having a good time eh?
Wow, I remember this on so many different websites and viewed so many times!
Unless it hasn't been said (which it has so many times over) this is superb. Just everything about this park in every aspect is pleasing inmy eyes, and its amazing that any project is able to worked on consistently.
Im thinking you should submit this... -

I tried to make a panoramic photo today, needless to say it didn't go so well.
Undertaker gets awfully close to the seating area near the carousel.
Hey look! Firebomb is open!
Here is a good view of the lower-level area of the park.
Panoramic of V2.
Have a great day!

25th Season
Well it's time that I head back to school. I've enjoyed being back home for the summer but I miss my school friends. I look forward to returning next summer.
We'll start off this update with something interesting...land clearing!
This area of the park has been dead since SkyCoaster left. It looks like that is all about to change!
Whatever it is, I hope it's more exciting than Johnny Rocket's!
I'm pulling for a wooden coaster, but I doubt that will happen with Six Flags' current financial situation and Shapiro's focus on the family.
I'll miss riding Batman for a few months.
Same with V2.
The park was unusually crowded today.
That's all for this season! I'll see you soon.

Announcement
Video: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=JSZad7X3cFQAttention all thrill seekers, extreme sports enthusiasts and coaster aficionados — Six Flags South Carolina, The Entertainment Capital of the Carolinas, is proud to announce plans to welcome another addition to its already amazing roster of thrills — Tony Hawk's Big Spin!
Tony Hawk's Big Spin, making its debut on opening day of Six Flags South Carolina's 26th season, will give riders the sensation of freestyle skateboarding as they sit facing one another in 4-person cars all decked out in skateboard motif! Riders will grab some serious airtime as they twist and turn in 360° rotations while grinding through two helixes, wild mouse turns, a camelback and much more on the rails of this 1,351-ft. steel coaster. Costing $6.5 million to build, Tony Hawk's Big Spin is designed to deliver a unique experience for guests each time, because the weight distribution of passengers will determine how each car spins along the track.
Offering a full extreme sports experience, Tony Hawk's Big Spin promises to be a unique, eye-catching addition to the Six Flags South Carolina landscape with the look and feel of a giant red-and-black skatepark. The queue line has also been specially designed, so guests will learn about the history of skateboarding and watch highlights of action sports on monitors and story panels as they prepare to board the ride. In addition, riders will be able to put themselves into the action, capturing their thrilling experience on a Tony Hawk's Big Spin DVD with the park's new CD Ride technology.
Tony Hawk was a professional skater at 14 and the #1 ranked vert skater in the world for 12 straight years. He has competed in 103 pro contests winning 73 of them while placing second in 19, earning him the best record in skateboarding history. He has won 16 X Games medals and is a four-time Kid's Choice and three-time Fox Teen Choice award winner. In addition, Tony Hawk is the creator and star of the hugely popular Boom Boom HuckJam tour that has been seen by standing room only crowds at Six Flags theme parks across the country.
Tony Hawk's Big Spin stands at 53 ft., travels some 31 mph and will be near the picnic pavillion area of the park. Families with younger children will find the ride's height requirement especially enticing, as Tony Hawk's Big Spin is suitable for kids at least 42" tall if they are riding with an adult, while kids 47" may ride alone.
Also on tap for the 2008 season is the return of the most talked-about concert series in the Charleston, the Starburst Summer Concert Series! This upcoming season's lineup promises to be even better than last year with artists such as Fergie and the All American Rejects peforming.
Guests can enjoy all Six Flags South Carolina has to offer in 2008 by purchasing a Season Pass for only $64.99. This is the lowest price of the year and it pays for itself in just two visits! Season passes are available for purchase online at sixflags.com beginning Friday, September 28th. The 2008 season at Six Flags South Carolina promises to be filled with plenty of thrilling family fun, entertainment and excitement! -

26th Season
Today was my first day back in town and, of course, the first thing to do was swing by the park to check out Tony Hawk's Big Spin.
If you park in one of the east lots, you'll get a great close-up view of the coaster.
It's great to be back here!
The Gotham City Arcade was demolished to make a more obvious entry to this area of the park.
There's lots of room for expansion in this corner of the park.
You can't miss the entrance!
As for the ride itself, it's not my favorite, although I'm sure the younger crowd loves it.
I'll have more photos soon.

26th Season
There hasn't been much activity around the old Chaos site.
The large plot of land betweenTony Hawk's Big Spin and Batman is where SkyCoaster once stood. I would think that this area would make for prime real estate for another expansion. Wiggle's World, anyone?
The Xtreme Trampolines are also very popular, but the price to jump is pretty high.
The coaster is pretty intense for a "family" coaster.
It doesn't have the best capacity, but the ride ops have done a good job keeping the lines moving.

26th Season
I went to the park for a few hours today. The crowds have been steady, not too heavy, but not light either. I guess this is so-so for Six Flags!
I had no idea a Ben and Jerry's opened at the park this year! It's a very easy-to-miss location. The prices are outrageous. Don't say I didn't warn you!
The crowds are still flocking to Tony Hawk.
As well as the trampolines.
The park's been different since I returned, but I can't put my finger on it. Hopefully things will pick up as this season progresses.

26th Season
We're in the middle of July and the weather is hot. This has been one of the hottest summers on record. Six Flags as a whole isn't doing well either. Hopefully we'll see them rebound next year, but I'm not so sure.
The Great Swings is one of the oldest rides at the park... just an FYI.
Let's go to the most popular attraction at the park!
The lines have been incredibly long the last couple of weeks...
...which is interesting because the park hasn't been that crowded!
Superman was down for a part of the day.
I've been told that Deer Park Plunge's days are very numbered. Hmm...
Green Falcon had a long line... but the ride was worth the wait.
I'll have another update on Wednesday!

26th Season
I stopped by the park late this afternoon. The park did confirm that this is Deer Park Plunge's last season to operate. It's very sad to see one of the few last original attractions from the park's opening will soon close.
The trees surrounding Undertaker have really grown up!
Be sure to get your last rides on Deer Park Plunge before the season ends.
I hope another water ride arrives at the park soon!
I'll have another update soon.

26th Season
We're in late July which means I only have a few weeks left at the park before I return to school. I haven't heard many rumblings as far as next season goes, but I have heard that we'll see some general improvements (park infrastructure, new paint, etc.). While it's not that exciting, it's better than nothing. Apparently the Deer Park Plunge site will sit still for most of the first half of the season. Hmm...
They've only been running one train on Superman which means longer lines.
I took a spin on Scooby Doo today, something I haven't done in quite some time.
It's still a great way to escape the heat!
It's a fun ride for the family.
Nighttime ride on Rebellion. Enough said!

26th Season
Let's get right into today's update.
I wonder if the park has any plans for this area besides Tony Hawk, because it looks like the entire area is dedicated to the coaster.
It's a good location to handle the influx of crowds.
The queues are being upgraded to include interactive features to hopefully make passing the time easier.
Have a great weekend!

Tommy
