Attraction Blue Hawk (Vekoma Looper)

[Eric]

Out of the blue, Ninja is almost completely blue now! And thats not all, theres going to add new restraints and you get to pick the name. I hope the new restarints will make the ride a lot better, because from what I've heard, its not really a good ride.

I personally want it to be called American Eagle.

I rode it in October. It was probably the roughest steel coaster ride of my entire life.

Apparently the ride is also getting track replacement as well in an attempt to smooth it out.

"Make Ninja Great Again." Le sigh.

Seriously though, applause to Six Flags for putting in so much effort to revitalize the coaster. I always hate seeing rides removed prematurely, when there is still potential. Happy to see Six Flags is trying to make great what they already have, while still pulling a marketing spin out of it.

I hope the new ride experience actually turns out to be decent.

While they may replace a few sections of track, I dont see much track replacement because they already repainted the track. Though they are going to have new trains. Which might help with a smoother ride.

Also, dang, I just realized this is not opening until June.

SixFlags stated there would be track replacement, it may have happened in the off season.
