[Mike Robinson]

September 1, 2011, 3:30 a.m.
Six Flags unveiled its 2012 lineup of new roller coasters, thrill
rides, water slides and live shows at the amusement park chain's 12
North American locations.
New Six Flags President and Chief Executive Jim Reid-Anderson said a
full slate of new additions would become an annual event, promising to
add a new attraction at "every Six Flags park every year."
Six Flags' 2012 attractions include two new roller coasters, two
relocated coasters, three tower rides, three water slide complexes and
at least one show.
Among the highlights:
Six Flags Great America (outside Chicago) – Billed as the only wing
coaster in the United States, X-Flight by Bolliger & Mabillard will
feature barrel rolls and high-speed drops with seats that straddle the
3,000-foot-long track.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (Northern California) – The Superman:
Ultimate Flight launch coaster will rocket riders at 60 miles per hour
through a towering 150-foot-high inversion and a pair of vertical
twists.
Six Flags Magic Mountain (Southern California) – The Lex Luthor: Drop
of Doom drop tower will be attached to both sides of the park's 415-
foot-tall Superman: Escape from Krypton coaster tower. The new thrill
ride will rank as the world’s tallest (400 feet) and fastest (85 mph)
drop tower.
Six Flags Great Adventure (New Jersey) and Six Flags Fiesta Texas (San
Antonio) – Both parks will install Sky Screamer swing towers for 2012.
Six Flags built Sky Screamers of varying heights at Six Flags St.
Louis (236 feet) and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (150 feet) in 2011.
No word yet on the ride heights at Great Adventure and Fiesta Texas.
Six Flags America (outside Washington D.C.) – The 100-foot-tall
Apocalypse stand-up coaster will travel at 55 mph through a loop and a
corkscrew along a 2,900-foot-long track. The 1990 Bolliger & Mabillard
coaster, formerly known as Iron Wolf, will be relocated from Six Flags
Great America near Chicago.
Six Flags New England (Massachusetts) – The 192-foot-tall Goliath
inverted boomerang coaster will travel forward and backward at 65 mph
through a cobra roll and a loop along a 1,200-foot-long track. The
2001 Vekoma coaster, formerly known as Deja Vu, will be relocated from
Six Flags Magic Mountain near Los Angeles.
Six Flags St. Louis (Missouri) and Six Flags Great Adventure (New
Jersey) – Both parks will add a Bonzai Pipeline looping water slide to
their respective Hurricane Harbor water parks.
Great Escape (New York) – The Nordic-themed Alpine Freefalls water
slide complex will be added to the Great Escape's Splashwater Kingdom
water park.
Six Flags Over Georgia (Atlanta) – A 45th anniversary tribute show
will join the park's entertainment lineup.
Six Flags Over Texas (Dallas/Ft. Worth), Six Flags Fiesta Texas (San
Antonio), Six Flags Mexico (Mexico City) and La Ronde (Montreal) –
Each of the parks will add a still-undisclosed ride, attraction or
show in 2012.
