Mind Eraser is a standard Vekoma Suspended Looping Coaster that was
added to the park in 1995.
Mind Eraser was my third Vekoma SLC and while I'm not a huge fan of these
it is still a fun coaster and thankfully Vekoma improved on the design since
premiering this style of coaster in 1995.
Hey I still have one more Vekoma production model coasters to ride.
This time it is a Vekoma Flying Dutchman named Batwing. The bat was
added to Six Flags America in 2001. Again it is placed in a bizarre
location. Thankfully it was put in Gotham City but it it is way out
in Timbuktu. Batwing is about 200 yards behind Superman and there
is nothing else out there except this coaster and a dead end. I hope
Six Flags America plans to fill out all of their empty spaces because they
have plenty of them. At least they don't have to worry about running
out of space for a while.
I really enjoyed watching Six Flags America's Octopus. Everyone on
it was having a blast. The thing is they wouldn't be having so much
fun if I were on it because well to put it politely I'd make a huge mess
on it.
Well it was off to the car for a two hour drive to my hotel but even with
my issues with Six Flags America and it's quirks I still had a great two
hours at the park.
