Minor Updates, Rumors, and Happenings

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Great Wolf added a water coaster before SFGAm.

Btw, I think we should make a new topic for this project, since it will have its own updates and info. And it's definitely not minor.

Noticed today that Tot's Livery was removed from the website. I wonder if this was a mistake when they took off Jester and Orbit.

If I had to guess it's probably a mistake, but something to note also is that the ride page says Access Denied

I've never seen a park more proud of their new bathroom and it's components than SFNE :lol:

On a side note, Let's be thankful we're not Great Adventure

On a drone video showing the park from high up the Viper had a white covering on it's tracks. What is it? https://youtu.be/fr-AX2qULPI

I HOPE the park decides to FINALLY re-paint Superman! It's in absolute desperate need of one and I don't know why the park is choosing to wait so long to get it done.

Going back to the VR discussion for Giant Drop a few pages back, Acrophobia at Six Flags Over Georgia is getting VR, so maybe the thought of GD getting it isn't as far fetched as originally thought.

We also know SFFT is getting it on their drop tower so it is unfortunately a large possibility that Giant Drop will get VR. :(

BTW, nice catch. I knew they were going to announce it some time this week, but it looks like it leaked a little early.

Since it says Flash Pass Platinum only with reservation and uncharge maybe it won't be completely horrible.

I think Giant Drop VR would have the potential to be a pretty neat experience. Whether or not they'd go with Galactic Attack or something completely different, I don't know, but VR on a drop tower could easily enhance the feeling of how fast/far you're falling. One advantage the launched drop towers have in this case is that VR could help boost the feeling of how high/fast you're going up the tower as well, though I'm sure they could figure something out for the trip up on regular drop towers, too.
