Attraction Skyride
- Thread starter Gavin
- Start date
This is how Six Flags is going to operate and eventually end up back in bankruptcy
They had to reduce season pass prices because they chased off so many customers last year so now they are massively reducing attractions in response
But people are not stupid. They aren’t even going to pay the current prices for the current state of parks with mass ride removals.
This park severely lacks attractions that non thrill riders can enjoy, and now they just completely obliterated one of the major ones that everyone to ride together. They obviously don’t want to increase their customer base and just want the 29 something crowd which (no offense to anyone just a fact) has a lower, disposable income
It’s a shame that Six Flags got their greasy hands on this wonderful sky ride. It was a four cable model and it was amazing.

Doppelmayer owns Von Roll’s assets and continues to provide service and parts.
The company still exists. Von Roll’s cableway division was bought by Doppelmayr in the 90s. Doppelmayr still produces cable skyways.
Von Roll components are still listed in the parts catalog on the Doppelmayr website.

Right. New cable skyways are Doppelmayr brand.
I was hoping that the Disney World skyway would be the start of these rides coming back to parks. But that didn’t happen

What a great day for amusement park skyrides! I wonder what changed.
I know Doppelmayr is who supplies their parts—maybe they were having issues for a bit and now the parks are getting those parts they needed?
I’m happy to see this glorious ride still running. I saw it was operating on Theme Park Worldwide. But that day they were just running one side and the lines were long. Has it just been operating one side all season?
I still don’t trust Six Flags for the future of this ride. They just recently removed the cable skyway at Georgia and remove the one in New England a few years ago as well.

I'm really happy it is sticking around. I almost always ride it when I go. Great way to just relax and also not a bad form of transport, depending on the line.
