Hi guys! I live in Lake George, NY - and my homepark is The Great Escape. Shapiro has said numerous times that he wants to use this park as a model for future Six Flags parks. Mark Shapiro visited The Great Escape last week, and while he was there - he sat down with our local newspaper, The Post-Star. In the interview, he speaks about expanding parks, his views on the future of SF parks, food price gouging, amongst many more topics. It was in the print version of 6/18/06 paper. The article itself was never on their website - so it got posted on The Great Escape's Fan Site so everyone can read it. I figured it would be benefical to scan it and post it on the site, which I did. It's a really interesting Q & A. Some of the things he says is just laughable. He constantly compares Six Flags to Disney. The last I checked, Six Flags wasn't a destination as Disney is.

because of the hotel opening in 06'.

I can tell you that ST and TW aren't being "stored". Here's a little story.. I own and run . 2 weeks ago, I posted pics on the site of TW, and ST in our parking lot. The following day, our newspaper interviewed the GM at TGE regarding the coaster pieces. He FLAT OUT LIED and said, "there are no ride pieces on-site". Despite the fact that I took pictures of the ride the day before. Instead of simply saying "no comment", he lied about it. Then the new article comes out last week, where they say it's being "stored" Puhleaaase. TGE lost all their credibility 2 weeks ago when the GM lied, and you people believe they are now being stored? Common sense should kick in here, TGE has the least room out of any SF park, and the most distant as well. You think they would store parts here? Don't think so. They are shooting down all rumors, for the simple fact that the new hotel is going to debut in 06', and they don't want to overshadow that. On top of that, we have irrate neighboors that surround the park that complain over everything, and anything. They already started complaining after reading the Post Star article, and seeing the story on my site. I can tell you guys for a fact (unofficially of course), that TGE will have these rides in by June of 07'. Not only do I run , but I work at TGE as well

I've never ridden Tidal Wave either. It should be a nice addition to TGE. Canobiefan already posted some of my pics of the ride on-site, there are more on w Tidal Wave and Serial Thriller never saw snow before! hahaha[/url]

Because the park doesn't want to overshadow the grand opening of the hotel and indoor waterpark. More then half of Serial Thriller is already on-site actually. There are pictures on my site of the coaster.
