Gettin’ Ready for P’Sghetti + September News and Events

Not one, but two KID FLASH Cosmic Coasters are coming to Six Flags parks at the same time. We also review the September ACE events.

The 2022 IAAPA Expo included a lot of exciting announcements, including Skyline Attractions' news about building the family-friendly P’Sghetti Bowl coaster at two parks! The KID FLASH Cosmic Coaster is about to open at both Six Flags Over Georgia and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. These coasters have a single rail track with in-house track fabrication, drive systems and more. Most notably to coaster enthusiasts, the restraints are comfortable for adults and children alike.

Co-host John Davidson met with Tyler Mullins, Design Engineer at Skyline Attractions to learn more about these new twin coasters. Want to learn more about what Skyline Attractions is working on?  Subscribe to Skyline Attractions’ free newsletter.
