This is my first post to this website. I will be visiting this park in May and I was wondering if anyone could give me advise on visiting this Six Flags.

It's a thing called sarcasm and you just missed it...

Cool!

 

First, go after May 24 so you can ride Goliath

Second, if you want to go on V2, go on it early because the line gets long.

Superman, V2, and Raging Bull's lines are also extremely long. American Eagle will have a long line if and only if one side is running with one train, which they do sometimes. So maybe ride American Eagle Early.

Also check out Whizzer! It's an ACE Historic landmark and only one of two of its kind left in the world.

 

Also, SFGAm is expensive (no duh, but just throwing it out there) but it's an amazing park! That's all I can come up with but I'm sure other people have more!

I have generally had luck with crowds at sfgam, but I've never waited more than 30 minutes for Bull, same with Eagle, they're both pretty efficient, superman and v2 generally have the longest lines, followed by Batman and Viper, but everyone will be riding Goliath that day though, like me!

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I was wondering when Goliath was opening, so that was helpful.

Is your avatar a bunch of Klansmen??? Not cool.

[Chrischucktown]

no.

[Vonni]

Its so crazy how tall that overbank is, which isn't even the tallest part of the Ride!

The SF Over South GA avatar is actually one of the default avatars in the forums. I've seen it around here quite a few times.

SFGrAm fanboys too close to the webcam.......

[palmerleeberry]

Okay, while Wes may have asked "What's that white stuff?", I'm pretty sure that by the time I get to Six Flags Great America in the summertime I'll see no more of the white stuff and a lot more of the Goliath stuff!

 

Remember, this will be my first ever RMC ride, so I'm trying not to wet my pants due to all of the excitement . . .

Oops, excuse me.

Let's see if I do this right, but I believe that ?

[djboss302]

Here is the most recent update as of today. Form the construction webcam.

 

[jedimaster1227]

^Well that airtime hill escalated quickly.

[Ccron10]

Wow, I never realized how tall it was going to be! Glad that this park is in my plans to visit again this year. Random question, but was the former Delta Flyer/Eagle's Flight Skyride station(currently a funnel cake stand) removed for this?

You can still see the former Eagle's Flight station in the screenshot above. It's that barn-themed building to the right of Iron Wolf/Goliath's station.

I was at the park yesterday for a construction tour. Top hat progress is moving along nicely! Here's my construction video: GOLIATH CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2014

[GoBears]

Thanks for sharing Scotty. It's always interesting to see the structure from the ground view rather than the top of Yankee Clipper.

[yay101]

I think I'm starting to get an image of how big Goliath really is!

[robbalvey]

Here is a video from the construction tour that TPR took in January:

 

[LoneRider92]

It really is surprising to me how gigantic the ride is looking from the webcam, and it's not even at it's highest point yet. This could be something really special.

[tarheel1231]

The new website layout for Great America is up.

[Vonni]

I wonder if this snow storm will affect construction today

[RandallDuell]

You can really see the volume of snow that has accumulated (look at the bleachers) - INCREDIBLE!
