I had the chance to go down to Six Flags over the weekend. Nightwing is indeed being removed, sadly. So now the only inverting flats in the park are Catapult and Twister ... And I wouldn't be surprised if Twister gets removed in the next year or so.

Anyways.... Here's some photos of Nightwing.

I wouldn't be too surprised if the old Jokers Wildcard makes a lack-luster return in this location as an outdoor attraction.

I didn't think it was a bad ride. It was just kinda awkward. Once you found how to lay on the "bubbles" without it hurting.. The ride was kinda fun. And in its first few years it was really intense. In its last few season it wouldnt run at the "full" speed. but it was still worth doing if it was open.

Here is a ride count i did on Whalom's forums Link to count

From that they have 16 rides compared to canobie's 26. They also have the water park but I personally don't use it.

Ive never been on an Enterprise or a Huss Fly Away, so I have no point of reference. It looks fun though.

i never go to water parks. i just don't like them. sometimes i think about it.

as for the enterprise man when i went on lake compounces i didn't want to get off. I always wanted to go on one. ever since rockypoint shut down but i was to young to go on it. i finnaly got to go on it at LC. wish canobie had one.

i'm sure if you give a huss enough money they'll make one. but the problem is parts for it. strates shows has a traveling one.
