At the top of the page, type the park name in the "search this topic" box. 1st of all, There's nothing else since the 70s to now? 2nd, There's some Marriott stuff but nothing on Six Flags Great America. -

Any Six Flags Stuff from SFGAdv, SFMM, or SFGAm? -
Yes. Train 3 was in rehab through almost all of 2011, so they were running trains 1 and 2 until December. 2 clearly ran better during this time. But for some reason they took 2 off first for rehab and put 3 back. Now three and really smooth with loud audio and 1 is really rough with quiet audio. They need to take 1 off! But yes, train 3 hasn't been used for the last year or so until now. X2 Still has audio? I thought The new CEO stopped the audio on all the Coasters? (Terminator, Bizarro, etc.)

well we already have a family coaster, "Pandemonium" well I actually like to call American Thunder a family coaster as well, its great on thrills but geared towards the family element which is fine. yes we need a major looping coaster in a bad way, our last one was Batman. and the Ninja is absolutely horrible and needs to go... I disagree about the water slide coaster, but that's just because i really don't use the water park but hey that's just me. a top spin/ frisbee would be a great addition, and yest even a new major flat. and to the person that commented on the Sky Screamer, yes it IS a nice addition to the park, and it's offers a great view of the park, personally I don't find it awesome, I rode it a couple of times last year and its already run it's course with me. but the general population is eating it up and keeping the lines full which is a good thing.. About Family Coaster, I was talking of a small coaster to fill the gap of ACME Gravity Powered Roller Ride/ Rockin' Roller. You know something for the 24"-36" that are too timid for Pandemonium.

Well, from what I've just heard Dominator was indeed made for Kentucky Kingdom. Dominator was supposed to be built in the vampire old spot as well as the squids dry slides spot. Steel Venom could as well been originally planed for the park as well. Looking at Dominator Design/map below, their is space for a impulse coaster right behind Dominator. Steel Venom would occupy the spot Greezed Lighting occupy today. It seems things changed as soon as Six Flags purchased Geauga Lake. So as soon as that happen, Six Flags quickly purchased Road Runner Express, and In 2001, Six Flags added Sky Coaster to fill the blank space in the park. Premier owned Geauga Lake/Kentucky Kingdom way before 2000. Geauga Lake in 95, KK in 97.

I think that's the reason why they cancelled the T2/Chang retheme. Cause they were gonna add a new Batman coaster rather than retheme. I don't think Steel Venom could've gone there. The park has major height limits.

Worst Coaster Ever?

Mean Streak When a coaster is rough at 10mph, you know its bad. Legend at Arnolds Park and Blue Streak at Conneaut are a close rough 2nd -

Saw The Help Sorry, I liked it. Good story, Great Character Development, A Few Funny Scenes (In My Opinion) Am not going to be surprised to see it nominated/win best picture. -
Who killed Geauga Lake?
Rollercoaster Rider replied to larrygator's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Who Killed Geauga Lake? Cedar Fair but Let's get past that for a minute. I think the "Flagging" should've happened in 1999 instead of 2000. That way the only competition that year was Cedar Point's Planet Snoopy. Now Cedar Fair. If they didn't want the park to die, They sure didn't show it by only adding like 5 things (Liquid Lightning, Coral Cove, Riptide Run, Tidal Wave Bay, Splash Landing) from 2004-2007... Oh wait, let me look at the 2011 park map on the site... Make that 2004-NOW!!! Yes they have not added anything since 2006 when they added the wave pool. Also the 2011 prices are higher than the 2007 prices when they included a free theme park. So If Kinzel/Cedar Fair didn't want the park to close/die, You'd think they would've added a new ride by now. -
