Screamin' Eagles makes its debut in 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMmlxJzuOM0 Screamin' Eagles will be placed next to Alice in Wonderland overlooking the River D. I assume the old 180 dome will be removed for this. -TGE says many changes are coming in 2013, which leads me to the next rumor found on Screamscape: http://screamscape.com/html/the_great_escape.htm -Scroll down to the new additions section and read the bit about Comet: Reverse Blast.... I would think that it would be false, but with them saying there were changes coming in 2013, it could be very possible. *The press release is on TGE website along with info on the new ride for anyone curious* Edited by greatescapelover, Aug 30 2012, 07:24 AM.

This is a good addition and with the stated up to 40mph speed, this will not be a slow ride. they hint at the ability to dive bomb which means a high speed ride that will be snapable. |

Finally they begin to fill in the empty spaces in the park! I'm just as excited about that as I am that they are adding a new ride! But yes if the ride is moving at 40mph, I'm sure there will be the opportunity to make this quite the thrilling ride. I also look forward to seeing what other "changes" are coming, but I hope they dont reverse every car on the Comet if they were to do that, some people do like to ride it the way that it is! |

If it is going in the old 180 dome, maybe they can add some more theming to eagle terrace and make it one big scream in eagle area |

The video doesn't hint to changes to the park but an addition to the Lodge. |

The promotional video the park released verbally refers to the park as Six Flags Great Escape. Big changes? hmmmmm! |

Why would they keep their Chance yo-yo if they are getting this Larson flying scooters ride? I guess the yo-yo is higher, but its getting old, and they've been having issues with it lately I believe. This would have been a nice replacement on top of that hill.

Right in the press release on TGE's site it says changes coming for 2013. My issue with this addition is since theyre so damn cheap in price, why not get another thrill attraction? Doesnt make sense. Edited by greatescapelover, Aug 30 2012, 12:05 PM.

Are you kidding me thats not even funny about the comet. I hate the fact that they are turning the comet backwards but if they do dont screw with the name i am so pissed that they are even thinking about changing the name or making any changes to the ride

NYguy - Those are the Older Boch Rico Scooters. They will be adding a newer Larson version. Center is different and the tubs are a bit simpler. but same concept. look back a couple pages for a post featuring photos of both version. Seen here: cometman20 - The rides are very different. and have a very different feel. Whalom Park operated Both a yoyo and a Flying scooter attraction benbutterman4 - I think Screamscape is trying to be relevant in a moment were every other forums and site will have the same info. I doubt it would happen and if it did it woudl be a Fright fest only thing. |

Would any of you be so Pissy if this ride was being added to Magic Forest? I have read so many complains about the Dry park not getting any rides. now they get a ride that is totally appropriate for their key demographic and will be fun for all gusts. But despite that I see complaints. |

I would love to visit Magic Forest sometime soon just because im a train junkie and they run an Arrow Dynamics train (one of the same models TGE ran on the GT Railroad.. The train thats inside CB) and i really wanna see it in person :D Anyways i agree Mrceagle. I am looking forward to trying it out so i wont make any bad comments until i try it. TGE is getting ripped apart on FB for the new addition. |
