Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
^ That's not really surprising. I don't think this has been mentioned yet but Joker is supposedly going to have a single rider line. In JiggidyNDC YouTube video from NCC in his review he stated that Joker will have a (much abused) single rider line.

Agreed, but I didn't know Batman had a pool table.

What do you have to do to ride Joker on T-Shirt Day? I'm planning to go that day and I've never ridden a coaster when it was a t-shirt day.

...buy a Joker shirt... ;D I'm sure that means anything from a tee/tank to a sweater or hoody.

They usually specify what shirt needs to be worn/bought. Sent from my VS820 using Tapatalk

^ When does the park usually specify what shirt has to be bought for the event. If nobody knows that's ok. I'm going to try to get to the park again before Memorial Day weekend and when I go I'll be asking someone there what I have to buy.

It is day of. When I did the Rage of the Gargoyles one, I got mine at Carousel Gifts around noon. They were still unpacking them when I swung by to get it at opening and they told me to come back.

So has anyone else noticed that our station has the hydraulics on it like Batman & Arashi? Or does it not?
I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x

What you're seeing is a third rail that locks the seat rotation. This makes it so the hydraulics are not needed.

Alright I got a Joker update. It's just not for our Joker. SFNE will be opening their Joker on May 27th and have a season pass preview special on May 20th-21st. Now I kind of wish our season pass day was the weekend before the opening as well. As of now the only way I'll be able to ride Joker during its opening weekend is on either the t-shirt day or opening day after I'm off work. But there's no way I'll be making it to the season pass day now.

Been to may theme parks, in many countries. However, SFGAm is my home park and I love it!

While eating at Copones today the worker said the registers are messed up because when Joker test some stores in that area lose power!

That's odd, especially considering that the area grid doesn't have ERC or Cajun anymore. I wonder how much more power Joker needs compared to those two.
