GASM was ****ing awful! The sooner it goes the better! I'm glad I got to ride it before it took the wrecking ball, because they're a rare sort, but that's almost like saying I'd like to have Ebola just because it's rare, so that doesn't change the fact that it was probably the worst coaster at the park and Chang will probably be 203095968x better.

^You've got a point, but I still think it's a good idea. It's a bit like when Alton did their special event for corky's closing. No one was that bothered about riding it on a normal visit to the park (it never really had much of a queue) but it was still nice to acknowledge it's place as an important part of the park's history.
According to Screamscape, the name Chang will be retired. According to rumours, Chang will possibly be themed to the Green Lantern, based on the DC Comics character of the same name and with the new movie coming out next year it would be a good way of advertising it.

Now well. I guess it's good business. And Chang will look good in GAdv. Perhaps a little similar to Medusa, but one can say that GASM was too. I think it will be a nice addition.
And yes, I refuse to use the brand-abused names as long as people understand which coasters I'm talking about.

It's funny, because I refused to call Superman by Bizarro, and I somehow keep calling it that, but I am able to refer to Medusa by Medusa still. I don't want to drag this too far off topic, though. >.>
Also, I'm not really sure how similar how GASM or Chang looked to Medusa. Maybe Chang a little bit because it's another B&M with B&M inversions but GASM was totally different.

I never liked black supports on a roller coaster, or any ride really. Maybe if they were white or silver or some other color.

I was at the ERT event last night. Six Flags was really nice and catered the event, had stiltwalkers with shiny american flag themed outfits, and had a band (pop punk cover band that was pretty awful, but oh well). They also had a silent auction of some construction photos and first press photos.
I did catch something when I was eavesdropping after the last ride. I heard some ACErs joking with one of the managers. They said "What's the new ride going to be called? Revenge of Chang?" and she laughed and then replied "What about P.F. Chang?" There was a lot of wink, wink, nod, nod going on there. While she didn't confirm completely that Chang was coming, it was pretty obvious that was what she was trying to say without explicitly saying it. She did confirm that an announcement would be made in August. She also wouldn't confirm what would happen to GASM.
I don't know why GAdv would get a stand-up. They already had Shockwave back in the day and that coaster has been in storage at Darien Lake since 2006. I don't know if it is actually still in storage or what. Did Six Flags also sell that coaster when they sold Darien Lake? I mean I guess they only had Shockwave for 2 years so it makes sense maybe.

That's intense.
I'm glad I got the credit before the demolished it, though. Was nothing spectacular, but it was still intense and well.. Relatively decent (that might be pushing it, haha).

I rode GASM on my recent visit, only as it was closing down soon.
I felt i had wasted my time to get knocked around.
It was easily my least enjoyable ride of the day.
I don't like coasters being demolished (SOB would be an exception) but Chang will make one of the best coaster parks on the planet even better.
