Director_Guy Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Great reports, That Guy. So glad to see Vu finally open. Now I can ride it tomorrow. Oh, and... An evil Trash Receptacle somehow got front row seats to this show. Man, they are so evil.
Goliath513 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Deja Vu open!?!? That is honestly the first time I have ever seen it running in a TR, ever. That park looks so awesome and I hpe I can go there sometime. As for Iron Wolf, yea it's underrated, but concidering it was B&M's first ever project (and the duo's last project was Flashback at SFMM when they were still working for Intamin) it looks like a pretty decent ride.
rcoasters Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I never thought that the park looked so good ! It looks like a really fun place to go. I'd love to be able to make it there someday ! Oh, and I liked the label on the back of the shirts of the employees
Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 -- Yes, the BTDK rendering is playing on one of the monitors. It has been for years, dont ask
Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 -- Taken by Kyle Right after I took this picture fireworks/fire shot out of the volcano =(

Guest Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Entertainment Reviews Showstoppin Outstanding, one of the best shows GAm has had. The show is pretty long (40 minutes) and the choreography, singing, and light show are all amazing. Good selection of songs also, I am not a fan of country music but the songs they have for country in the show are great. I always try to see it once every time im at the park. Operation Spygirl To appreciate this show you need to realize that its mainly for kids/parents and not a huge extravagent stunt show like its being advertised as. When it first started I really was not a fan, there are not many explosions and the fighting was pretty fake. Seeing it yesterday they have made improvements where needed, and they have gotten more experienced with the fighting (and dropped the 24 ads) and it is a slightly better show now. A lot of the acrobatics and maneuvers they do are impressive, as most of the actors are either olympic gymnasts or something of that nature. One thing they changed that I dont like is that now she doesnt have the pink hair anymore, which IMO was her trademark and looked good. Marvin In The Third Dimension Overlooked and very good. I really liked the film and effects, its nice having an experience like this in the Picto instead of one of those old tired educational films they always used to have. Looney Tunes Tonight Havent seen it. Serpent Safari Neat, good addition to the park even though its not extravagent or anything, good midway entertainment. Spirit of America They brought back the entire Marriott show this year plus the addition of SWT (didnt make a new song for Mardi Gras though, which makes sense cause its next to Orleans Place). The costumes and choreography are good although the songs are very "70s." Its a good show for what it is. Manny B & The Rythm Nights I love it, these guys are very talented and awesome, especially the ZZ top segments. They normally get a pretty good crowd also. I love going on Big Easy Balloons and listening to "Alright Now" played live, cant beat that. Reflections - Sounds of the 80s The singing is good and the wardrobe is very "80s." I really like how its integrated as midway entertainment, the stage is very "low key" and the show comes up as surprise pretty much cause you dont really notice the stage if its not being performed. Country Rocks Havent seen it, hear good things. I like the idea of having a country music themed show right in the middle of the SWT midway. Stick & Move Dance Crew and The Great American Drum Core They normally perform seperatley but its awesome when they integrate their shows and have some awesome break dancing to fast paced drumline beats. The Great American Drum Core is a good idea cause they walk around and basically play everywhere, and guests waiting in line for a ride have some entertainment while waiting. Celebrate The Joy I like how they finally got a parade in the back of the park but theres no track for floats back there, so its mainly the dancers going down the midway, and charectors in automobiles/old Traffique Jam cars/Great America Raceway cars. Not as good as last years daytime parade obviosley just cause they cant use the floats, but I like the soundtrack. Starlight Spectacular Basically the same as last year, which is fine with me. Very good show to close out the night. The whole show flows very well, with the songs, dances, and fireworks integrated in it. The parade is still the best in the SF chain, its nice how they have the Allies Trolley cars going also.
rcoasters Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Wow ! That update was good ! Thanks for posting all these pics !
coasterdude5 Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Yes, the BTDK rendering is playing on one of the monitors. It has been for years, dont ask Thanks, I remember seeing that and thinking, "I know that coaster from somewhere." I figured it was some coaster they were hopefully gonna get someday.
CoasterFreakZac Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Awesome photos!!SFGAm is easily the best Six Flags park there is. My favorite photo was this one.I think its cool how you can get a somewhat overview like that.
youthink? Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Wow those are some good pics! So is Deja Vu open now?
Airtime&Gravity Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 6Yeah, Deja vu has been running since June, but only about 1/2 the queue is used. Great photos, but crowds look a little heavy. I went Sunday, and even though it was 95, it was still crowded(luckily everyone was at HH, or inline for the water rides, S:UF, or Deja vu), but I was able to get a lot of rides in. The overview shots you got were amazing, and some of the locations you took your photos at were unknown to me.
CoasterEricHP Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 That was a strange picture of Batman without the wheel cover on the front row! I like how they post the capacity goals.. we would have never done that at Dragons! It would be embarrassing.. but then again, people can throw bags anywhere at Six Flags. The park looks very nice! Hopefully I'll get out to Chicago one of these days. Great pics.
Danhockey04 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Nice pictures, certainly shows off some of the beauty of SFGAm.
Homer Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Papas, your photos have made me excited even more about the Midwest trip and SFGAm especially! Great job getting a bunch of nice shots and some of the little details and "errors only enthusiasts notice." Again, great pics.
BrownStreak Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Two big thumbs down for SFGAm getting ride of the unique ride op uniforms for different areas of the park! I used to love my "Gotham City Department of Sanitation" uniform from when I worked on Batman and the East River Crawler! I always wanted to "accidently" take mine home with me... When did they change over to these bland- "everyone wear blue and kachi" uniforms?
doublex98 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 This park looks soooo much better then when I went...I WANNA GO BACK! Great photos!
odie Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Great photos! The flowers in front of demon look like fire at first glance, I thought that was a cool effect. Thank you!
