Paintball Prices and Other 2005 Improvements also.

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby sixflagsguy5 on May 5th, 2005, 7:33 pm
I know that SFGAM knocked down their old shooting gallery. But what are they charging for paint. I know that paintball places charge alot. I've seen prices at $80.00 for 2,000 shots at a paintball place. At Target they sell less quality paint for 2,00 shots for $20.00. So does anyone know the prices?

If anyone else has anything that has to do with 2005's improvements besides HH please add.

I see this paintball thing as a waist of money for the park and its guests.

Well some little kids (10-13) who go by themselves, or gp don't know that it's a complete ripoff so I think it'll make alot of money. Do you think it would be easy to sneak in your own paint, or do you think they'll have signs that say not to or you'll get kicked out.

I wouldn't try if I were you. Don't really want to know what would happen.

I think it's 6$ for 40 shots and 10$ for 100. I could be wrong.

2005 Improvments:
1. New Amazing Alfredo Stand in HTS
2. Whac-a-mole in HTS
3. Six new Game stands in SWT
4. Work on Great American Hot Dogs
5. Farmer's market refubishment
6. Eagle Lift Work
7. New Theming on Sticky fingers
8. New Elmer Fudd Statue in Yukon
9. More new Music in Batman Line
10. Condor Painted Blue
11. and Refurbishment
12. New Music in SUF Line

I think that's it, but, there could be more.

I think they'd be suspicious if Security found Paintballs in your pockets at the front gates....

Carrying paint in your pocket is somewhat difficult and if you play pantball as it is, shooting at targets at a Six Flags park isnt going to be that thrilling.

I do see this being a very messy operation. Paintballs are greasy and hard to clean up. Not to mention the fact that they break in the gun (if you have a bad barrel or cheep paint--which Six Flags probably is gulty of both).

However, I don't see this as a waste of money for the park. 6.00 dollars for 40 shots??? Thats a HUGE markup. List price for a case is around 60 dollars for decent paintballs.

well i paintball and paint dose go by really fast thats why i think that they are going to make alot of money for the reason that people are going to play it and run out of paintballs and they will want to play it more because they didnt hit something or something like that? :?

The SUF music is just random now, I was in line, it was the SUF queue line music cycle, then it was the music played in Orleans Place, and the last time, it was just nothing. Hopefully the keep the SUF queue music cycle.

I'm not gunna bring in my own paint, because it's too risky and shooting at a target that's 15 feet away is really pointless. Their paint is probably not the best, but not really cheep. The guns are probably decent, because they most likely got a deal because they bought at least 30 guns.

It's SFGAm way of telling us that they hate theming. Many of you guys tell me that it's not themed enough. Now, they are making it worse than it is already. They first converted BTR (I'm not talking about the paint either.), and now they are doing it to another rollercoaster by the name of SUF. Which ride will they untheme next?

Fiddler's Fling has nice looking blue restraints and two other types (pole goes to roof of car painted blue, and bar in back of person painted blue) instead of grey now!
