Park News - (1/18/10) A couple of rides from Six Flags America has been discovered as being placed up for sale on the Ital used ride sales website: The Avalanche (Alpine Bobs) and Octopus.
    (11/3/09) A reader reports that during their visit to SFA over the weekend, they noticed lots of paint markings along Roar’s tracks, possibly an indication of an upcoming rehab on the coaster over the winter. Anyone else know more?
    (10/27/09) A few pictures showing off Superman: Ride of Steel’s new paint job at SFA can be found here and here.

 

icon_STOP2010 - Thomas Town - Confirmed - (1/31/10) Six Flags America will hold the press conference to announce all the details of their new Thomas Town land on Wednesday, February 10th at 11am. They say that this will be SFA’s largest expansion in the past decade and will feature the largest Thomas Town in North America.
    (1/8/10) Six Flags America has posted a small contest on their Facebook page about how you can enter your child to help with the ground breaking ceremony for Thomas Town. They say that the details will follow on Monday… which means that the official press release and all the details can’t be too far behind.
    (12/18/09) A photo posted over at SFAFans.com shows the park’s balloon themed Ferris wheel cars being shipped off from the park to somewhere off-site for a ‘rehab’.  Of course we’ve already seen the artwork put on display by the park that clearly showed the ride was to be rethemed as part of Thomas Town, also posted to SFAFans.com.
    (10/9/09) Artwork for the Thomas Town expansion can be found over at SFAFans.com.
    (10/7/09) We’ve got details on the new Thomas Town coming to Six Flags America next spring. A display now set up at the Looney Tunes Emporium shows off five official elements so far: the Thomas train ride, Harold The Helicopter (Zamperla Mini-Jet), a Pop-Jet Fountain w/ Thomas Town water tower, the Sodor Carnival Ferris Wheel and a Diesel themed Zamperla Convoy ride, where the big rigs are themed instead to look like Diesel Train Engines. There were also pictures showing off playground structure from one of the other Thomas Towns as well as a Zamperla Jump 16 kiddie tower ride.
    While the exact location of the new Thomas Town hasn’t been announced, a reader did tell us that they noticed that the area behind the Joker’s Jinx looked to have been cleared out and had what looked to be survey markings on the ground.
    (7/22/09) Screamscape sources have confirmed to us that Thomas Town will indeed feature 10 rides in this super-sized attempt at building a proper Thomas Town.
    (6/19/09) In a talk with Mark Shapiro, the About Theme Parks site tells us that he confirmed that the plans for Thomas Town were not only still on for 2010, but that the land would feature 10 new rides. This is a far cry above all the other Thomas Towns we’ve seen them put in so far with only 1 or 2 rides total.
    (4/7/09) According to one of our readers, the plan right now is to place the new Thomas Town somewhere back near the Superman: Ride of Steel station. Not only could this back end of the park use a more kid friendly attraction area, it’s also close enough to the park’s train tracks to allow for them to be transformed into a Thomas themed train ride. From what we’ve heard, this could become the biggest Thomas Town in the entire chain when it opens in 2010, but that’s not saying much since the rest of the them are all fairly small projects.
    (4/6/09) According to this picture taken by SFA Fans, the park posted a large posted confirming that Thomas Town was coming in 2010.

 

2011 - New Coaster - Rumor - (10/07/09) During an ACE event at the park last weekend the park President mentioned that if all goes well with the bankruptcy, the park hoped to add a new attraction that would make ACE members happy in 2011.
