SFHH Tornado water slide announcment thread

[Aero737]

Tornado construction has not started yet. The splash pool has been dug out (it was full of sand) and the footers uncovered. Other than that, nothing.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^That makes sense. I would assume that once they start making vertical construction that it would be all over the internet.

Even if all your clothes and EVERYTHING are in a locker? are you SOL?

The HH lockers are all day rentals. Even if the waterpark is at capacity until it closes, you'll be let in to get your stuff out.

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

Say your in the waterpark and you leave.....to say EAT in your car and when you get back!!!! the waterpark is closed due to capacity!!!

Even if all your clothes and EVERYTHING are in a locker? are you SOL?

Your clothes shouldn't be in a locker if you leave Hurricane Harbor

[twixmix0303]

Exactly.

[John Doe]

Ive never even been to Hurricane Harbor, but when SF does open again I am definitaly going..

[DejaVuGurl1203]

On Memorial Day, once I get into the park I'm going straight to Hurricane Harbor to wait for it to open, and going on Tornado first thing before lines get long I can't wait.

[zjohn1988]

I like seeing HH from RB, it looks funny. All the fruity colors, its pretty cool.

I liked standing 200ft up on RB seeing HH...

[DejaVuGurl1203]

that must be fun. looking at HH from RB or GD is nice though. Viper too...

[CoasterDude12-2]

It kind of feels like another dimension when you see it from SWT because Viper and RB hide it so well.

[Trailblazer Tony]

I like the view better looking from the waterpark at the park, rather than looking at the waterpark from the park.

[[jonrev]]

You get a good view of Viper from the locker area.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

I like the view better looking from the waterpark at the park, rather than looking at the waterpark from the park.

I love it too, its amazing.

[FRD714]

I use to love the view when we would park next to Bull before HH was there.

[twixmix0303]

I don't like that view much. It makes me feel like I'm in a dirty waterpark being surrounded by oily squeaky giant rollercoasters.

[SFaddiction84]

7,100 is HH park capacity!!! personally i think thats WAY TO HIGH!!! its packed and HORRIBLE!!!

Park capacity should be lowered severely!!! i dont know if anyone feels this way, but i usually OPT out to going to hurricane harbor becuase thats just to much time in line

[twixmix0303]

I think it's fine. Why would Six Flags turn away money-paying guests if they don't have to? And we all know what money brings. Capital improvement.

[RagingBullFan]

The key question is though, first will they actually spend that on capital improvement and where would they expand to?

[twixmix0303]

They wouldn't necessarily expand. I'm talking about modernization. New park lights in Hometown Square. Renovated Eagle queue. Yankee Harbor theming overhaul.

[RagingBullFan]

Well if everyone comes to the park to get into Hurricane Harbor, wouldn't the money be better invested into Hurricane Harbor rather than other locations within the park? If more people want to get into Hurricane Harbor and not Great America they should look to expand Hurricane Harbor's capacity not Great America's.

[twixmix0303]

I'm not talking about expanding anything. Capacity would stay the same. But areas of the theme park are starting to look run-down, and no one is going to want to visit a run-down looking theme park, except maybe teens who don't care and won't be spending much money either way or coaster enthusiasts that don't care about theming at all. If the park has excellent theming and is comfortable for guests to be in, they're willing to actually visit and spend money.

[RagingBullFan]

While that is very true, if people are waiting a long time to get into the waterpark I think money should be invested into that to help increase capacity. If people cannot get into the new and highly advertised waterpark they will be upset. That won't stop the park from upgrading other parts ( which is highly needed.) but something needs to be done if demand is much greater than the capacity.

[Coaster Alex0805]

I think they should update HH very soon but when They do Im sure they will go all out with more then one attraction maybe 07

[twixmix0303]

Like raising prices.

[Danhockey04]

Or multiple attractions to raise the attandance, they could put in a couple slides and such into the waterpark, and you have the attandance raised there.

By the way, we all find out exactly what SFGAm should be adding in 2006 tomorrow because tomorrow is No Coaster Con and they usually announce or tlak about their future plans for the upcoming season.
