Bring Back The Space Section

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

I'd like to see them fit a coaster between go-carts and SSA. V2 probably wouldn't even be able to fit.

A place in that section where they should put a flat is beyond the entrance to STT and SSA not towards the go-karts but the other way. All that is there right now is a satellite from SSA, which is mostly hidden in the trees.

I think SSA should be torn down, if you ask me.

A classic amusement park feel would ring a bell. They could have a parachute drop, a few flats, and a wooden coaster built to replicate one of the 1920s. It's too bad they can't fit a ride like Son of Beast there.

Speaking of Carousel Plaza, the management should fit the soundtrack so it plays in its entirety. The Carousel store nearby plays an hour of it, and I don't know if that's the whole thing. The outside version is in terrible shape, and is in need of an update.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

We already have Viper.

I do agree that a parachute drop would be nice.

I consider the STT SFGAm's "parachute ride" already.

They are both sightseeing attractions. You go up and look at the whole park and come down on the parachute ride. STT does the same thing, but is a little longer.

Speaking of parachute rides, has anyone here been on SFGAdv's parachute ride? It looked like a good ride to take some pics on because of its location but I never waited the 45 mins to ride a bench high in the air.

^ When I went to that park the parachute ride was closed.

Plus a parachute ride is out doors and gives you a different feeling then STT.

Where was the entrance before for the Sky Trak. I dont think it was never meant to be Space theme.

A parachute ride is completely different you are outside and you go down faster. It is completely different.

As you walk into the park, it was on the right side of the pathway on the right side of the reflecting pool.

I just curious now, how many parks have both a parachute ride and a (Sky Trek Tower type) tower ride?

Hey, at one point, wasn't someone calling the section we are talking about "Plymouth Place". Maybe the original plans called for it to be themed after the Pilgrims. I don't know what kind of rides could be put there though.

200th post!

I like how TomorrowLand at WDW turned out. I know they have a kid's ride kind of like the planes in the Looney Tunes National Park, but Marvin the Marshian could be used for the new "space" area also. On top of that, you could use another name from the Jetsons. Yes, I know Spacely's Sprockets. Who is Spacely anyway (George Jetson's boss)?
