coasterdude5 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Basically, I spent the day at Six Flags Great America yesterday. The first half of the day was a washout, but as the afternoon went on, the clouds began to clear and it ended up turning into a nice day. I love Six Flags Great America. I haven't been to every park in the chain, but I have a feeling that Great America is one of the better parks. The staff was friendly, ride operations were decent, the park was the cleanest I've ever seen it. It was an enjoyable day. And to top it off, it wasn't crowded! Score one for coasterdude5. Now, onto the photographs: Oh hi Sky Trek Tower. I see you've got some new colors. Personally, Sky Trek Tower is only awesome during Fright Fest when King Kong is attacking it. I smell Demon and Raging Bull! Six Flags should have a running of the bulls every day when the park opens. It's basically like that anyway if you get a few large people in the back of the crowd. I'll catch you later, Viper. Giant Drop, because it hasn't decided to anything crazy lately. I miss these days. Ricochet, something, I don't know. I'm not here for the flats. TAKE THE TUNNEL!!! Fail car. Not because of the horrific wrap, but because it doesn't quite make it onto the brake run! Apparently this ride is an epic fail. Anyone care to elaborate? Nerds, gather. Two cheers for history! They got lots of stuff to look at as you wait. Oooh... Aaahhhh... Nice! The ride isn't a Beast by any means, but it's great for the family. Because I'm a nerd. You can also look at Batman while waiting to ride Little Dipper. Yes please. Then the bottom decided to fall out. What will become of the day? Check back soon to find out!

CoasterPrince Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Great America has some amazing flats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumba830 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 ^ I agree, you can't do SFGAm and NOT ride some of the flats. As for Buccaneer Battle... It's not a fail at all. It just such a crazy capacity that there is never a line. The ride itself is loads of fun, and it always has a crowd of people on shore that are waiting to squirt the people on the ride. Great to hear that you had good day. Rainy days are the best at SFGAm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ah, that makes more sense about BB. I was wondering why (out of the three days I was there) there was never a line. And a park guest referring to the ride as "epic fail" didn't help matters either! Continuing on! I really love Great America. Sure it has its flaws, like most amusement parks, but with each visit I seem to leave happy. You can see some hi-res aeriels of the park here. Batman: The Ride. I'm getting used to its intensity. "I like this part!" says this enthusiast. Superman: Ultimate Flight is a decent ride. My only wish was that it was longer. But, ah, isn't that true for most fun things in life? Yay for not full parking lots! I'll see one of those on Sunday... Tear. This would have been a great day to check out Hurricane Harbor! Viper is a seriously underrated coaster. Batman: The Ride. I hope it is one day returned to an all-black color scheme! I really wish they would add SOMETHING to the exterior of the Dark Knight's box. Even a clever Starbust ad would help! Don't leave me, Whizzer! Spiral lifts are cool. This train makes me laugh. A train full of happy Raging Bull riders return to the station. The ride ops were doing great at most of the coasters at the park, with the exception of V2. Whoosh. TOO. MUCH. YELLOW. IN. MY. OPINION. I think I'm color OCD. Hello, Whizzer! You can't deny this is a beautiful park. Who can resist a view like this? See ya tomorrow, Superman! Adios! I'll have some sunny photos tomorrow.
