2005 was a great year for Six Flags Great America!! With one reason Huricane Harbor!!! And well Fright fest aswell! Tommrow is the last day of the 2005 season! Well lets post here anything you enjoyed about 05 and that you didnt enjoy
I know I loved When I went on the blue and green toliet bowl slide and I was by myself in a tuble tube sitting in the back part of it and when I was spinning i fell out of my tube and ended falling down the "Belly Button"
i enjoyed all the fright fest scenery and the spirit of halloween, i did not enjoy the crowds yesterday at Fright Fest, i also thought they could have made Necropolos a little scarier.
Well for me Hurricane Harbor was the greatest addition. I love the theming and the collection of water rides. When I first went to HH, our first rides were the speed slides.....Well I chose paradise plunge which happens now to be my favorite slide there. The drop after the speeding tunnel is just.... ....awsome. The transition between "paradise" and southwest territory is alot better than I thought as well. I just love the appearence of it.
I really enjoyed conquering my fear of the big rides(raging bull,giant drop etc...) It was real cool to go with my friends and have fun, it was also cool 2 go with people who scaried easily during frighfest, even though FF wasnt as good as last year. Overall a great season, i really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the 06' season. Go WhiteSoX!!!!
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.
I enjoyed going to the park at least once a week and when we stayed in a hotel for an entire week in june. I cant even count how many times we went on Raging Bull. Oh and when we went to Hurricane Harbor we would always sit by DJ Bob and listen to the kids do kareoke. And Fright Fest when I saw LAFF for the secound time.
The thing I didnt like this year was all the crowds. I know its good for Great America because they have money problems or whatever but I just dont like alot of people all crammed in one place.
Overall it was a great season and I'm going to miss it for six or something months.
This year ranks up there for me as one of my best seasons. It was the first year i got a season pass, that right there did it for me. Also, the feeling of being in Hurricane Harbor was undescribable. The music, the coasters in the background. They could not have done a nicer job with that expansion, and it took away most of the people from the coasters for most of the summer. I also enjoyed Deja Vu finally running decently and my first fright fest. A historic year for me, and it was definitely one of the best
RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter
This year's yearly visit was a real good one for me. My family and I went on a 90 degree day, so the park was almost dead because of the waterpark. I think the waterpark was one of the smartest things Six Flags Inc. could've ever done at SFGAm. I really am looking foward to next year, but I'm not absolutely dreading the offseason.

Unfortunately, I was only able to make it to SFGAM a few times this season. I believe three times in the summer, and once for 2 times for Fright Fest. I am so dissapointed that I couldn't get there as much. Although I paid for my season pass, I still wish I coulda used it more. Next year I will deffinately be using my pass way more! I want to get one with my girlfriend and go with her a lot. I didn't get to go on any rides in HH, but I was in there, and its amazing. I can't wait til next season so I can get there like a million times!
My favorite parts though were being there on HH opening day, and seeing it as one of the first crowds. Going on Raging Bull, and seeing Deja Vu operate so well. Fright Fest was also really nice, I finally conqured my fear of the Mausoleum Of Terror! Overall when I went it was a great season!
I think it might open in May or June, i'm guessing I may be wrong I don't know. I hope it opens around that time because then that's when i'm coming home over summer from college.
I ended the season on a high note with a triple Viper Ride. Meeting a bunch of you (Brad, Jeff, Krystal) It's been a a great season and I can't wait until nexy year. I love Six Flags. 2006, you better come quick!
I ended the season on one of the last 5 rides of BTR front row, last DDR game in the American Eagle tent, and last dispatch of the season on Raging Bull chanting certain things, some appropriate and others not for these forums. Most of them people would find funny, but great season, start it on Deja Vu 1A and end it in Raging Bull row 7, last dispatch.
Universal Orlando Mechanical Engineer Marathon down, Goofy to go.
It was a great year. Already can't wait for next year. I got on the last car, last seat of the last Whizzer ride of the year before it closed down due to weather conditions which was only a little rain. But officially ended with last car of Viper.
I'm a little depressed today. 6 more months to wait until 2006 season. Cheers Six Flags for the great year.
(I should move to LA....SFMM is open all year round!)
