20 days to go

We are now less than three weeks away from opening day! In preparation, many members have been planning their day in the Meeting Plans & Trip Planning forum which is now open.

*Dark Knight Update
The framing for the structure is complete and walls and siding are on about halfway up the building. Construction of the actual ride has presumably begun.

*'No Old Country for Old Men'
With the confirmation that Old Country will be closed this season, it seems as though a wooden fence will be built on either side of the section. I would assume gates will be built, as well, and we can only hope that there will also see signs saying "please excuse our mess as we prepare for 2009"!

Many rides missing on '08 park map

SFGAnerd has informed us that the 2008 park map has been posted on the park's official web site. With this comes the discovery of many missing attractions, confirming our previous suspicions.

The following flat rides are no longer listed:
Fantasy Fling
Turbo Bungy
Autobahn
Musik Express
Space Shuttle
Sponge Bob 3-D(Replaced by Fly Me to the Moon)

Additionally, Old Country is no longer considered a section and is closed off (replaced by "grass" on the map). The Stunt Arena and Showcase Theater are dark and are "reserved for special events". The Old Country Picnic Grove will have a special entrance near the Dark Knight. Be sure to check out the map for yourself and join in the discussion.

Spongebob leaves in favor of the 'moon'

The 4-D theater in Boardwalk will bring us all a new adventure in 2008. The recycled Spongebob film will be canned for a brand-new simulation based entirely on the new film "Fly Me To The Moon", set to be released this summer. The film is a computer animated film starring the voices of Voorhees native Kelly Ripa, Back to the Future's Christopher Lloyd and Nicolette Sherridan of Desperate Housewives fame. The film and simulation will both be presented in '3-D' and present a unique, mutually beneficial relationship that provides Six Flags with a fresh new simulation and provides nWave Pictures with a strong promotional push for the new film.
