The kidzopolis tent is gone! It was destroyed by a snow storm apparently a few weeks back

Someone should ask Guest Relations when the rest of the operating schedule will be released.

I tweeted to them about it yesterday with no reply. They only show the hours up til Aug. 26. All other Six Flags parks have the full schedule posted.

I'll try to ask a friend at Guest Relations about that later so don't worry.
How come Lightning Rod is never open when I go.

The new paint on Loggers Run and Yankee Clipper looks great! Does anyone know when they were last repainted?

Just saw the first commercials for Great America.

Two 15 second spots, advertising the flash sale on Season Passes and advertising the park now open on weekends.

No mention of Holiday in the Park.

They probably wouldn't mention a winter event in a spring commercial. Did they mention Hangover?

Hopefully next season or maybe even later on in this season, Demon, V2 and Superman will get a paint job!

Hopefully so. Right now their major paint project is American Eagle but Superman needs that repaint the paint is starting to come off and the park is doing nothing about it. If they don't do anything then I'll be shocked :o .

I'm amazed Superman has been neglected this bad, seeing as that it's right in the front of the park! 15 years is a long time without a paint job! V2 is going to stand out like a sore thumb, seeing as that Loggers Run and Yankee Clipper are getting fresh coats of paint! I would rather them do something minor in 2019, like re-theme Camp Cartoon, and put the rest of their money into painting rides!

Surprised no one has mentioned the fact that there will be a Sprint store inside the park this year. I imagine this is the beginning of things to come if you remember that survey they sent out.

If this was mentioned, sorry I missed it

Yes it has been mentioned before. Look at page 69 somewhere.

Since the flumes are getting painted, that pretty much confirms there place at Great America for several more years

I love the flumes and would hate to see them go. I even enjoyed SWF till the very end...rip
I don't think they will tackle any paint jobs later in the season. American Eagle maybe but nothing else...they can't have a ride like Superman down in the peak of the season....

Well of course they can't it's a big crowd blazer. Even though it's not one of those good flying coasters like Tatsu or Manta, the nearest one like it is in Great Adventure so yeah.

Agreed! I'm shocked to be honest. I thought for sure Loggers Run and Yankee Clipper would be on the chopping block within the next few seasons. I was wrong!

Two days before opening day :D . Hopefully the crowds aren't horrendous like on Columbus Day, if so once we get in we are heading out :lol: .
