Whizzer Whiz Kid

Because it was the first invert, there are no seats any larger than others.

If you see this and take a double take to make sure you read that right.

There are no more double rides. Sorry.

Demon Rage of the Gargoyles T-Shirt Day at SFGAm. Everyone who bought the shirts waited for two hours in the beating sun for them to tell us that the darn thing didn't work.

Now that this is done, when can we see the Riverview Bobs redo?

Anyone know of any changes on the Dining Pass this year? I haven't been able to find the 2017 guide yet.

Yeah, I was trying to find this as well. Also, do you guys know when the last week of Read to Suckceed is?

Link?

Nickelodeon Universe Panels from 3/14/17 Orange Streak Avatar Fairly Odd Coaster

1.) X-Flight - This looks amazing and it fits the theme perfectly! 2.) Superman - It has awesome colors. Now they just need to be not so faded. 3.) V2 - Really like this color combo! (Needs a repaint really badly.) 4/5.) Eagle - The classic red, white, and blue looks really nice. It makes it look so much older than it really is. 6.) Little Dipper - Like the classic look but the baby blue doesn't look as good as it did at Kiddieland. 7.) Whizzer - Blends into to the area quite nicely. 8.) Demon - Love the classic look but it could use some red. 9.) Viper- Looks good for what it is. 10.) Raging Bull - Don't know what other color would fit the theme, but the maroon/pink and orange just isn't cutting it. 11.) Goliath - Am I the only one who thinks that orange track is kind of ugly? 12.) Joker - Really like the two tone track but Total Mayhem still looks cooler. 13.) Batman: The Ride - looks alright, but would rather have the original colors. 14.) Spacely's Sprocket Rockets - Not a fan of the green and white and it looks awful 15.) The Dark Knight - Duh

My first ride at Six Flags Great America is usually Batman, but if I get there after opening, it will be American Eagle (opens 15 mins after park opens)

Looks like a very strong park. I really liked the old park, but it looks like the Six Flags transition is going smoothly. Also, what is your deal with standups. I have really enjoyed watching this park grow over the "years" and hope that it is successful for many more seasons. BTW, the last picture looks amazing!

Kumba Favorite at Mt. Olympus.

Recently found this picture of American Eagle construction on SF Great America's Facebook page.

I would most like to visit/find out more about Riverview in Chicago. The stories my grandpa tells me make it sound amazing, and don't even get me started about the Bobs.

By far, mine in American Eagle at SF Great America. I rode it over 50 times this season.

I have a guilty pleasure of riding old Arrow loopers, my favorite being Demon at SFGAm. It is totally retro and so cheesy. Love it!

New for 2017 - Lightning Rod!

Hey guys, just doing some more research and switched some things around and found out that I will be visiting the park on a Saturday. I've never been and would really just like to know how long lines get on a saturday in July. With one train, does rumbler ever have a line over 15 min? The awesome people on this site have made this trip so much easier to plan! Thanks so much.

Just doing some research on an upcoming trip and read online that this park has free soft drinks. Is this still the case? Also where can I find the cheapest place for tickets. Any help is appreciated!

Double post.

Just doing some research for next years trip. What coasters only have one train?
