CHANG WATCH: The Official Topic

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

I might be the only one who thinks we won't get this, aren't we getting a Parade? I doubt there is room for this, and I doubt that they will remove any thing to build this. So for now I say there is no way we get this ride.

You obviously haven't followed this topic. Chang WILL NOT resurface until at least 2011. Shapiro said it himself.

no I have I just don't see the logic in putting this here. Right now they have not made anything public about this ride. There is ZERO proof, and going on word of some one said this doesn't make it true.

It is going somehwhere and SFGAm will get a big 50th anniversary gift since it has been ions and ions when we got a major new ride but yeah until there is actual pics or something this is so meaningless especially with the ride not going back up till at least mid or late 2010 for a launch in April 2011

Apparently you forgot this is Six Flags. Logic is a word the company banned long ago.

I don't. They want to make some more money for advertising for next year. Why tear down a hideous advertisement?

Think about this: We only have 17 months to talk about Chang!

Are you serious? You've just realized this? During the summer they had some HoneyComb ad promotion over by SSA, and nobody went there. It's that sad.

I don't think this has been brought up yet, and it most certainly adds to the thinking that Chang's trains if at SFGam already, will most certainly be used on IW.

Of all the B&M Stand-ups There are only 3 rides that have 7 rows with 4 across passengers. Those exceptions are Vortex (CGA) Chang, and Iron Wolf.

Now draw this anyway you want, but if in fact Chang's trains are at Great America, its pretty easy to figure out where Chang's trains will be at in 2010.

Makes sense. I think that IW and Chang both need the bizzaro treatment. :/
New paint job, new station?

Ehh, they're the same size probably won't get a new station. Get this, the crazy folk on wikipedia are already confirming chang's arrival at six flags great america and said it's confirmed it'll be green lantern. That's as crazy as diablo'! (well not quite)

I know I want the new station too! The people in the front always block it, if only they can make it more like Raging bull's queue.

You know even if the track comes here, it still could be in storage. Just watch and see, the track will come here and everyone will go crazy saying it will be built here.

Ok, I need to correct a few things here. First off, Wikipedia can be edited by anybody. So someone writing that Chang is rumored to come to SFGAm in 2011 means nothing at all. It's no different from reading it on Screamscape. Second, it says nothing about it being confirmed, just speculated.

"The latest speculation is that Chang will be opening in 2011 at Six Flags Great America under the new name Green Lantern, which will involve a repainting of the track and supports and an entirely different theme."

I realize this has basically nothing to do with chang, but, I did see a few red "crates" or shipping containers when walking out of Superman, and one being dropped by the Employee Parking lot (from IW) Later in the day, It wasn't there. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with Chang, but what could that be?

I believe those are still left from TDK....? but I too found that to be like a "hmm?" factor. I then took a picture because the crate right on the left of the exit ramp for Superman it says HOLD! on the very bottom left which I found a little funny seein that is somethin a lot of us Cedarpoint employees scream. haha

I believe the crates near Superman were used for both the BB boats, and TDK stuff. They are most likely empty from when they delivered the boats to BB this year.

Ahh...
makes sense as both are MACK's from overseas. I to saw "hold" and thought that maybe it was the brakerun for Chang! But it seems it's a let down. :(

Guys, I totally forgot to mention this after my previous trip to SFGAm. I was in the BTR station and saw the POV of Dark Knight at SFNE and I got to thinking. Why do they show this POV? Maybe because...

IT'S A SIGN! While Chang's layout may not be quite the same, they are still very similar... ;)

That is what I meant, Dark Knight. I'm not sure why I said Bizarro. Anyway, it was just a funny thought I had. I know it's been there for several years.
