Just saw a suggestion for ArieForce One placement at @SFMagicMountain.
- First half of Twisted Colossus
- Instead of going into the second lift hill it connects to AF1 (replacing Scream)
- End of AF1 hooks up with the second half of Twisted Colossus
Could you EVEN imagine?

JUST IN: Six Flags says they will be adding seat belts to Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, and “other coasters with a similar restraint,” after the fatal incident a few weeks ago.
Six Flags has confirmed that the following roller coasters will be receiving the added safety belts:
- Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia
- Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America
- Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure
When asked for a timetable on when the safety belts could be installed, Six Flags provided this statement:
“The timing may vary by attraction based on the reviews, engineering requirements, availability of components and applicable approval processes. We will not reopen an affected attraction until the necessary work and reviews associated with that ride have been completed. We will provide park-specific updates as information becomes available.”
