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

Ok, this looks true, but wait till the season to find out. Also, I know who took that picture and sent it to screamscape, but I will keep the person's identity a secret, no one really needs to know that information, all you need to know that it isnt a fake and was taken this offseason. By the way, I didnt take that picture (in case you thought it was me), I have no access to the park until it opens to the public.

I heard from somebody that they are not going to take triple play because people argued like they did for Whizzer.But,don't quote me on that I just heard that from some guy.
Whizzer is the best roller coaster in MY WORLD!

Some people take roller coasters as rides,some as passions,I take them as life!

You know that photo could have been taken during its rehab in 2003... On screamscape they said there's no confirmation on when the photo was taken.

I think they are just taking the center stalk (the part that holds the arms) and HUSS will be sending a new one later in the year.

that does not make sence, it just went to rehab, and their sending it back. That really does not make sence! I am not kiding, they would keep it here if it was still having problems. Or they would send it somewhere else, to hopefully live a better life.

Does anyone actually know what part(s) were damaged in the transport of SFAW's?

That could help out a lot.

...a nice small skywheel can fit there :shock: ...just kiddin. Not really though.

I guess well have to wait and see if its gone or not. It honestly could be rehab, look at how neat and "carefully" placed each peice is. Its like they want it safe, so I dont know...maybe a sign of re-assemblying it again. Who knows for now...

Center hub section was damaged. It will be the only part(s) going to SFOT. The sweep arms will stay at SFGAm for reassembly in 2007.

^Then that would agree with what Jon Revelle said.

I was looking at that picture and, although I think you guys are right that they are taking the center hub to Texas so the one there will open on time and replace ours sometime in the near future, I noticed in the background that the trees have leaves on them. Maybe, although i doubt it, the photo was taken when they were done remodeling it from a few years back.

May I also say those look a lot like Pine Trees?

If I recall, when you come out of the train station, there are pine trees there.

Triple Play will not be going anywhere for 06.

They probably just took it down everytime the season ends so it wont get damaged in the winter and then rebuilt it again when the season starts. No one would find out until opening day if its still there or not. So just wait until April 29 to find out unless you know someone who works at GA maybe they can tell you.

:cry:

It just looks so...out of place. That ride has soul, its fiberglass shell may be gone, but it will always be remembered by the riders.

All I can say is :cry:

I rode Triple Play for the first time last year and loved it so much that it was my second favorite flat in the park and i ended up riding it six times that visit. I know i'll miss it!

It was my first ride of 2005. I am praying that the ride returns to Great America later this year. We cannot keep losing Marriott rides like what happened to Santa Clara.

Oh well.

Its not perminantly removed, it is going to be reassambled after SFAW's goes through refurb, then we get that center piece, then it will be back.
