If you ask GAm, they will tell you they no longer have all the theming items, and as for their old song, they say they only have peices of it and lost the rest of it. I know first hand that aint true, but Thats what they will tell you!

by **coasterzak** on January 11th, 2003, 3:23 pm

I say we start a petition and all write in to see if that helps them put up some of that theming. I'd love to see it. Anyone have pictures of it? If writing to SFGAm supposidly swayed their decision on Whizzer, it sure will at least give them something to ponder.

Lol, the public outcry had nothing to do with them keeping Whizzer and taking down Shockwave. I guess you could say that Shockwave coming down all happened by accident in a way.

by **coasterzak** on January 11th, 2003, 4:47 pm

They had to have at least considered it and thought about it. I read somewhere that after hearing how disappointed many guests would be, they saved Whizzer.Here you go, this is just how coasterbuzz said it, I don't know if it is correct or not... "Six Flags Great America announced yesterday that Shockwave would be dismantled and sent elsewhere to make room for their 2003 attraction. Shockwave was chosen to take the fall after public outcry forced them reconsider the removal of Whizzer."http://www.coasterbuzz.com/news/news.asp?NewsID=4520

Yeah okay, I guess you're right, but it's fun to pretend that our voice made a difference!

by **Suf03sfgam** on January 11th, 2003, 7:55 pm

LOL I agree you wouldnt know exactly about that cause SFGAM isnt your homepark.

by **coasterzak** on January 11th, 2003, 10:36 pm

Hey you can call your homepark where you feel the most at home. Maybe if I visited a few more times, I could call it my homepark. But yeah, you're right my homepark is a half hour from my house, not 8.

by **coastrcorey** on January 12th, 2003, 12:21 am

lol... yeah it very well could have been a coverup...

by **Suf03sfgam** on January 12th, 2003, 2:43 pm

Could have???? It was, look at all the eveidence you think it was just all of a sudden taken down cause of Public out cry after an accident??? :?:

by **coasterzak** on January 12th, 2003, 3:17 pm

I just meant that maybe they would consider it. I know that just because of letters Whizzer was not saved. I know that there were other major factors, but I think maybe sitting in the back of their mind as a lurking variable the park board thought just a little bit before they made their decision.

Shockwave busting an axle and almost cutting someones foot of nailed the coffin shut. That and the park brass never liked Shockwave. The public outcry is BS. Just used to cover up the accident that "didn't happen"

by **Timmy179** on January 28th, 2003, 8:32 pm

i didnt know that there were any incidents on shockwave? explain

by **coastrcorey** on January 28th, 2003, 10:40 pm

Yeah, I heard that a few times...

by **coasterzak** on January 29th, 2003, 11:59 am

I live 8 hours a way and I've heard of incidents... it was just never publicly released.

http://members.aol.com/interama/rc27.htmCHECK THIS OUT!Its a picture of the demon from the marriott days. The picture was taken from where southwestern territory noe stands. its pretty cool because it looks so empty compared to now.

by **coastrcorey** on February 5th, 2003, 10:07 pm

Yeah, I've seen this... It is amazing how much SFGAm has filled out... Especially the trees!

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on February 5th, 2003, 10:26 pm

Those are some nice pics. It is nice how SFGAm has grown since it opened!Just a few minutes ago when I was just looking around online when I find something about the Demon getting stuck in one of the vertical loops on my birthday in 1998. I knew about this for a long time, I just never knew the date. Just wanted to share... I just find it interesting lol.
