Anyone else think Bugs Bunny National Park might come back? I mean, don't they still have the old rides?

I think they should just close the Eagle Entrance and expand the Superman entrance. All that extra land from the Eagle entrance to the parking lot could be used for Hurricane Harbor Expansion.


Please No El Loco, Based on the Indiana Beach One, I don't want to ever ride one ever again. Even Mt. Olympus would say that ride has horrible capacity.


I don't know about the Giga Idea, But if it's just airtime hills and not low-to-ground turns (COUGH I-305) then I'm fine with it. I honestly see us getting a launched giga then a lift hill one.


Tardis1972, Please ride these types of rides before you want them at SFGAm. Also you have very odd grammar typing.
926 Coasters around the World! Countdown to 1000!

x2 couldnt fit in the go carts lot and rc combined so that is exteremly unrealistic

I would like to see something like that, but as anewman35 said: We aren't going to get a clone of a ride from another chain from over two decades ago.

Maybe if another park gives up their ignored* floorless coaster in a few years and gives it to us. cough Scream!* cough.


I've been to SFMM twice, and both times I've been there, Scream! has had the shortest lines out of all their major coasters (ok, maybe except for Viper, lol). If SFGAm was to get a relocated coaster from another SF park, I hope it would be Scream. But then again where would they put it?

It would put Great America on the map for sooo many years. It really isn't impossible as everyone says. Gurnee Board would clear it in a heartbeat because they want more traffic and more money! You also have to think, Ok, before you know it, Gigas will become the norm for many parks just as Hyper Coasters have.


"More traffic" is pretty much exactly what the Gurnee Board DOESN'T want (because the residents of Gurnee, who elect them, have enough traffic problems as it is). Anyway, it probably doesn't matter what the board wants, because (at least if the commonly repeated line is accurate, and I don't know that it is) the park can't build anything higher than Sky Trek Tower because it is in the flight path of Waukegan Airport.


Sky Trek Tower is 300+ feet. I talked to someone who said Gurnee board will clear anything these days and that they want more people visiting their town. That means more tax money for them. It's really a simple concept.
Favorite Coasters I've Ridden:
Steel: 1. Maverick 2. Steel Vengeance 3. X2 4. Storm Chaser 5. Twisted Colossus
Wood: 1. The Voyage 2. Renegade 3. Mystic Timbers 4. The Legend 5. The Beast
Great America: 1. Maxx Force 2. Goliath 3. Raging Bull 4. Batman: The Ride 5. X-Flight

Coaster Count: 118
Go Hawks!

Who am I to doubt "someone"?

Seriously, though, the park has never requested to add anything even near 300 feet. NOBODY can say for sure how Gurnee would react.

I'll keep this plain and simple, launch coaster in the go carts spot. LD moved to RC spot to make use of RC queue line.

Bucaneer Battle, Little Dipper, and Go-Karts. Little Dipper goes in Cajuns spot, the queue would be where Little Dipper is, and the ride would occupy Buccaneer Battle and Winner's Circle Go-Kart's spot.

We Great America ever build another racing/dueling coaster. Maybe we're see one in 2016.

Here's my improved wish list

1. Skyscreamer in BB Overflow
2. Screaming Swing in Yukon over the water
3. Roller coaster replaces the go-karts
4. Euro-Fighter replaces Pictorium
5. New rides: Air Race, Brain Surge type ride (Nickelodeon Universe), Skater Coaster
6. Giga coaster starting in Orleans Square and heads out by the lake next to the parking lot
7. New log flume like Shoot the Rapids replaces the SWAT
8. Intamin Blitz in RC spot
9. Improved Batman theming
10. Camp Cartoon re-themed to Bugs Bunny and expanded with new kids coaster

I'm sure they would clear it. Hey man I guess I'm sorry for sharing my dreams haha. :lol:

Can't go over 330 feet or else we'll overshadow Gurnee's beautiful aesthetic. Strip malls and parking lots :)

I'm going to come out and say this. Colossus (Thrope Park) like coaster in go karts spot. LD moved to Mardi Gras to make room for a queue line. I will not respond to any negative comments towards this idea.

The comedy of some of these posts. I could write a sitcom script based on Great America from some posts among the threads on here. 8)

I hope everyone saying Little Dipper should be moved to Ragin' Cajun's former location realizes that Little Dipper has a somewhat significantly larger footprint than Cajun did. Dramatic changes would have to be made to the Mardi Gras Midway, Picnic Grove entrance, Roaring Rapids exit, and Mardi Gras/Yankee Harbor bridge in order to accommodate it in that specific location.

Yeah I know, I just wanted to state that Little Dipper's, Go-Karts, and Buccaneer Battle's spots would all together free up decent space for a coaster.

Tardis1972, I honestly don't think we are going clones of rides from different park chains. I know you said "like", not clone, but "like" can mean something like a mirror image.
I'm still hoping for a relocated floorless coaster from another Six Flags park.
