Six Flags Great America (SFGAm) Discussion Thread

I think Viper could run fine.

 

I think you're right, but it would be so easy to close without giving people the feeling of walking by a giant closed coaster. They need to cut back staffing for these events to keep them profitable and that's a really easy place to do it.

 

Edit: No freaking way Whizzer will be open in December if there's wind or snow.

 

No coaster will operate with snow on the rails and a lot of coasters will close with a combination of extreme cold and high winds. That's not exclusive to Whizzer.

I rode Beast and Vortex in the snow. But years ago. What a strange feeling. Cold but awesome.

^I'm impressed the pictures are of the actual parks they are representing. 3 boomerangs hehe

^ This made my morning. I'm so excited to experience my homepark like this although last call fest was pretty much HITP without the decorations.

This hypothermia will be delicious.

“Page not found,” have a Six Flags day.

 

Are there specifics to the cold Great America weekends? Will the park actually follow through on the days AND times they say they will be open. They struggle with that sometimes.

Specifics aren't known yet, this looks like some premature information slippage. As for keeping to the schedule, even the two psycho Six Flags parks didn't entirely follow through on their schedules this past HITP- that just comes with the package when you open the gates in the middle of winter. With how things transpired during Last Call, I definitely wouldn't count on a perfect record.

^I’ve been at the park at different times, including a June weekday, where the park closed early. There was an official reason but it was really because “not enough people in the park.”

I'm surprised it took them that long.

[Airboss]

Anyone know when the park releases the schedule for the year?

[B&MGuy35]

My guess is February 13th

if I remember correctly, they didn't release it until early March last year.

Has this park named its new roller coaster yet?

Trollercoaster.

[boldikus]

That works!

Am I the only one that finds that incredibly odd? You'd think that if they were, well, proud of their new addition, they'd, well, give it a name, right? I can't think of a single reason why they wouldn't give it a name, that makes no sense to me.

From what I recall, when the announcement was first made, the name was supposed to be Hurricane Force 5 or something along the lines of that. They refrained from using that name out of respect for Houston because the announcements happened soon after that.

[Rollercoaster Rider]

They should just call it Wonder Woman's Golden Lasso so they can have 3 Wonder Woman coasters this year.

[Canobie Coaster]

Or they could go with the fourth Harley Quinn themed ride.

 

I'm still shocked they haven't announced a name for it yet. Unless what if "World's Largest Loop Coaster" is the name they picked.

[Airboss]

Do we know how and where the queue will be placed/structured? I remember King Chaos' queue being tightly packed in a small area, and now it's gonna have to hold hundreds of people.. That area is pretty tiny.

[boldikus]

Unless what if "World's Largest Loop Coaster" is the name they picked.

 

Please god let this happen.

It'd be worth it just to watch people explode.
