Thrill ride....hahahahhahahhaha. Iwas recently at Knobels.....reminded me of how StoryTown used to be before they tried to turn it into a 'thrill park / water park' ...Knobels is still fun...and they make $$$$...and they are privately owned...and sort of in the middle of nowhere....and they have a short operating season too...maybe GE solution is to go back into private hands... If they keep adding thrills like this Lake George will loose its last major attraction. |

The park is already pulling people simply having a new attraction will give them more to do. Why would added a a ride that appeals to it's key demographic lead then into ruin. |

i agree mrceagle i thing the park is going up not down. It may not be like it was when mr. wood was running it but with every six flags park gettting something every year, the park can only get bigger. |

boulderdash...it may be going up but look at how far it fell first. Compare to the late 80s and 90s. What replaced the ghost town train? The dark ride in ghost town? The flats. The shows? Sure you got a few klunkers from other parks but all in all you have less...the park relied on nostalgia and even thats gone. Thats why I have not been back for several years...nor have the folks I know. Good luck. |

OK, I think you have a point but it's vastly misplaced, your talking about nostalgia and what has been removed. that's a topic in it own. I'll set it up As for this ride which is what the topic is about it's a step in the right direction. a solid family attraction removing a aging dome that has been used as storage and before that an arcade. The original attraction is not coming back the attraction ca only put though 50 people every 20-30 minutes and The videos are very hard to come by. The projectors are also extremely expensive to maintain. |

Also how can you say the park is getting other paarks scraps. scrreaming eagles is brand new. alpine freefalls was braand new. Mega weggie was brand new. Tornado was brand new. Thats 4 out of the last 5 attrections that were never at another park. Sasquatch was the only exception |

Sascuatch, Bobsled, canyon blaster, Nightmare, they were all used. Kiddie lands, Boomerang, Water slides, etc were new. There are far more new attraction then used. but all the major attractions were brought in used. |

I don't mind it too much either is the used ride is a good addition not just a situation were we drew the short straw and get stuck with it like canyon blaster. |

I'm curious how much the park will promote this. will they post any pictures or updates to allow up to fallow. It's a small ride but No mater what i think they should treat it like a big addition. |
