Flash: Vertical Velocity Update 11/29/24 | Six Flags Great Adventure

[@josephalonso7931]

I’m headed to the park today. Hopefully they test Flash while I’m there. Gunna get my first look at the destruction of Green Lantern so my turn to feel what you’ve seen lol. Share the misery. Hope to see you and your dad at the park either soon or next season. Love the videos, keep em coming! 👏👍

Im heading there as well

[@filmbricks-stopmotion]

@@Thatonerandomguy1331 I'm planning on going

[@AmazedBunion]

i'm going today too. hoping to see them test it. maybe it will change my first impressions of it. it looks very underwhelming.

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Have fun!

[@FriedWill1]

Just imagine riding flash on a really hot summer day. The airtime would be amazing.

[@TYM9902]

What does a really hot day have to do with airtime? Does the outside temperature affect airtime on coasters?

[@FriedWill1]

@ The heat makes the wheels warmer, allowing the train move faster. That's why you usually find coasters run slower during the winter, as the wheels usually isn't very warm.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

4:13 this would be quite an experience if it would happen when it’s actually running with people

[@Starlit43]

Instead of Ka rollbacks we now have Flash rollbacks💀

Yay! 😕

[@handledav]

not as good

[@DatOrangeBus]

The ride is gonna be fun but the line is gonna a total nightmare💀

[@kurtbrigandi]

Seriously. I dont get why they couldn't have a turn table station so they can run two trains. They get too many people for a single train ride.

[@DatOrangeBus]

@ i think its because the track is short and the train goes forward and backwards

[@kurtbrigandi]

@@DatOrangeBus I get what you are saying, i don’t think that matters here. What they really need to do it make a Tri-Station thats on a turntable. One side loads, one side empties the train and the last side is the ride itself. That would cut the time for load/unload and allow it to work smoothly

[@DatOrangeBus]

@@kurtbrigandi you got a point…

[@Coaster_Joe]

FINNALY got to see flash test yesterday! That’s the first time I’ve seen it test. I went at night so the lights on the trains were on and it looked amazing! Great update! And hey, ka’s gone but we still have flash rollbacks lol

[@camerondavis9055]

I think this will be a very fun ride. The elements remind me of copperhead strike at Carowinds in that the ride is focused on forces and hangtime rather than speed. A unique ride

[@Huntbeck33]

I think people are underrating this ride! I think it’s gonna be a blast, and it’ll be cool to have it stall and fix itself when riding 😂 it’s basically like a double ride!

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I’m looking forward to this because the only other Super Boomerang is in China

[@camerondavis9055]

I mean it is cool but with only one train it would kill the capacity even more

[@Huntbeck33]

@@camerondavis9055 they’ll make it work, there’s tons of boomerangs all over the country that run 1 train….itll be long some days but it is what it is

[@sludog]

We were there yesterday 11/30 and saw some Flash night time testing around 5pm. It was very dark and no lights on but we heard it running when we were leaving. We just so happened to be right next to it when it tested. Got a few video shots as well.

[@hogscattle7877]

Reminds me of the old shuttle coasters from the 90's that Vekoma and Arrow used to build.

[@TheTorturedCoastersDept.]

I’m really excited to ride this next year! It will be my first new-gen vekoma thrill coaster!

[@IanSokolnik]

That looked more like an intentional rollback to test its recovery capability. This is testing after all.

[@Aidea._.]

Might have also been testing ride stop functionality

[@IanSokolnik]

@ There are numerous test that could have been going on there-but my mind went there as well.

Thanks for the video. Looks like a lot of inverted hang time. Can’t wait to ride it!! Love the recovery. Hope it gets stuck while I’m on it.

[@Denhym-g7w]

Thanks for the update!

[@Trance786]

SWO or BGT would so benefit for the same copy…Great video. I know that is intense. Going backwards would be crazy!

SWO likely, but it's kinda too similar to Tigris in a way

[@Trance786]

True. I guess I only say that because they are both my home parks so I would love to have that coaster at one of the parks some how!

[@dakotaclayton5523]

I can’t wait to go on the flash❤

[@MalrusOSC]

Even in light of the "extermination of 2024", this ride is still gonna pack a punch for 2025.

[@FanOfFab4]

Can't wait to ride this!

I can’t believe I’m second !! I just wanted to say I love your videos man!! Keep it up!!!!

Thank you!!

[@noahb9944]

Did you see Harley Quinn derailed I say it's the curse of ka 😂

[@kmccurdy21]

The video I’ve been waiting for. I was wondering how many boosts it would take to recover from the second valley.

[@commonwealthedison2640]

This will easily be the best ride in the park next year. Looks excellent.

even better than Toro?

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

0:45 this will give great whip in the last row that’s the part I’m most excited for

[@gajdzik89]

This Vekoma is so much better than previous models, but to put it at SFGA is just a beyond clueless idea for the crowds they bring.

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

I could see Six Flags America getting the next one and it would be nice bringing back the Two Face name

but they'd need to make the trains face off tho

[@Allisoninque]

Smooth

[@kimmikruszewski1399]

I’m about half an hour to 45 minutes away from 6 flags. Love six flags!!! Now that Cedar Point bought it, can’t wait to see what they do to spruce up Six Flags.

[@montaejaimez3441]

People are gonna be crossing fingers hoping for the train to valley during their rides😂

[@MindPuzzlerYT]

In retail POS usually stands for Point of Sale/Service which is usually where the register is placed. I could be wrong but that could be where the transaction takes place

[@brianarywitz4687]

I was there tonight and they were testing Flash again They did not have the lighting package lit up on the cars I am curious to how GA is going to market this ride. Will they call it a Thrill Ride or a Family Thrill Ride? I am leaning towards a Family Thrill Ride because that is what it is. I also think that is the future of GA I think they want more of these types of rides to get there attendence up.

[@cobblebalt4835]

i guess its a neat family coaster. hopefully they get something good to replace ka

[@Fearless_gaming117]

I was there to!

[@stormingthrills6893]

Looks like it's gonna be a front row ride with with the air time the hang time and how high up it goes up the second spike

[@heleezy]

so we got a low capacity boomerang and 2 decent capacity coasters removed in one year, got it

[@wizloon9052]

I know this ride isn't officially opened yet. But, which rides, if any, are open during Holiday in The Park at Great Adventure?

[@ColiwoodStudios]

Everything on the right side of the park is open

Do you know if the station is finished or is it getting a roof? The staff are going to be exposed to weather with no protection the way it is now.

[@DanielBlaney]

Most likely they will install a roof.

[@ColiwoodStudios]

I would assume there will be a roof

[@JaimeRuggiero]

This ride isn't gunna last. It looks like it's going to have serious rollback issues and it's definitely going to become worse when there is a full car vs. An empty one.

[@Prlego]

Is this ride already open?

[@ColiwoodStudios]

No, Spring 2025 it will open

[@Thatdude-p1v]

Is that the full speed?? for that layout it looked slow

[@tyler_scissorhands5241]

If I'm being unreasonable, please let me know, but I just have to express my disappointment with this park. This year has left me feeling really frustrated due to the delayed attractions, the overly delayed Fright Fest, and the lack of notice about shutting down popular coasters. It's truly disheartening. 😢😢 will this park ever be the same ?

[@DokiKimori]

As fun as this looks, OT having a dual loading station ruins it for me. The capacity on this will be nightmare fuel.

Atleast were getting another new coaster in 2026 after this. It's nice to get two new coasters back to back.

Well it was on a cold day with only one person on it

The fact is that it's moving so damn slow being called the Flash is insane. Removing King Da Ka, now this POS. The signs are real! Your video has it all. Lol

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

It will be much better with the seats filled

[@jaelwolf]

That roller coaster doesn't fit the name at all! The Flash, if you've ever watched the show, is all about his speed. Based on what this video shows, this is very slow in comparison! I don't know what it should be named, but The Flash definitely doesn't fit it!
