Maxx Force NEW FOR 2019

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby _FuryBull_330_ on October 26th, 2018, 10:53 am
If I'm right I think they are planning to open before Memorial Day. Look at X Flight for example, construction started early and opened about a week or two from Memorial Day.
How come Lightning Rod is never open when I go.

Top 10: 1. El Toro 2. Steel Vengeance 3. I305 4. Fury 325 5. Maverick 6. Mako 7. Iron Rattler 8. Medusa Steel Coaster 9. Raptor Clones 10. Maxx Force.

Doubt it. When's the last time Great America opened a new ride before Memorial Day weekend?

X-Flight opened May 16th. I have no doubt Maxx Force will open over Memorial Day weekend.

I am sure if you buy a Maxx Force shirt or a diamond elite member you will get to ride it before.

If it’s anything like what they did for MGH then these are my guesses of when be the preview days and public opening will be.
May 21st: T-shirt preview
May 22nd: Platinum, Diamond and Diamond Elite members preview
May 23rd: All members preview
May 24th: Season pass preview
May 25th: Public opening

JiggidyNDG posted some new pictures! Here's one of them! Looks like they removed a section of Whizzer, possibly for the construction cranes to move in and out of there!

Construction has really seemed to kick into high gear. Trench for launch looks done and they are now assembling rebar and drilling for supports. Goal most likely is to have all supports dug and poured before end of November and the ground freezes.

I'm impressed with the park and the amount of work they've gotten done already!

As of yesterday No
Site basically remains the same as it did when the announcement was made. Survey markers are up and land clearing has been done but really nothing else. Yesterday some new construction walls are up and some of the midways have been blocked off now that fright fest is over so I imagine it’s going too kick into high gear now.

Probably take out superman. I just realized Batman isn't on there either.
They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.

I think that's Batman right by Sky Trek Tower, but I agree with getting Superman out of there. It's bad enough I have to see it when I'm at the park. No need to rub it in with the banner. ;-)

Really “shocked” we didn’t see a train reveal/feature from the S&S booth at IAPAA this year.

Me too. I was really hoping for something. Maybe we'll see more information at No Coaster Con
