I take it you guys have never been up close to a Tornado before?

They are HUGE.

by **Trailblazer Tony** on April 17th, 2006, 11:33 am

^I know I haven't and that funnel looks massive :!:

Construction is really moving along.

Remember, if Gurnee ever gets hit by a tornado(god forbid), we have someone to blame.

Just kidding.

Looks sweet though. I can't wait to ride it.

It's getting higher!

by **Trailblazer Tony** on April 18th, 2006, 8:33 pm

Sweet!! I just argued with my neighbor over whether you can see it from the highway or not when it is finished. HAH!! I win!!!

You have to look carefully from the business park across I-94 but it should be easier to see it when they get the actual slide parts up.

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on April 20th, 2006, 8:36 pm

Lights are on at the park for once

by **[jonrev]** on April 25th, 2006, 4:45 pm

Slide piece has been attached to the frame.

by **zjohn1988** on April 25th, 2006, 10:37 pm

sweet! Glad to see some progress once again.

by **Rusty888** on April 26th, 2006, 3:36 pm

I can't wait until Saturday to see how big this thing really is from the top of Raging Bull.

by **Losiento1224** on April 26th, 2006, 4:33 pm

more slide has gotten attached and some supports are up, its coming along quite well

by **[jonrev]** on April 26th, 2006, 4:38 pm

The tower structure looks like its up.

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on April 27th, 2006, 1:04 pm

Yep, continuing to put up slide pieces. I can't wait until Memorial Day!

by **Trailblazer Tony** on April 27th, 2006, 7:31 pm

Wow! What a difference a couple of days makes

by **Losiento1224** on May 1st, 2006, 2:34 pm

did anyone notice that there seems to be some water in the wave pool that doesn't look all dirty?

by **w00dland** on May 1st, 2006, 3:06 pm

They had people power washing the pools and tube slides this weekend, so it's possible that the rainwater fell into a clean pool so it didn't get dirty.

by **John Doe** on May 1st, 2006, 3:53 pm

Yay! Ive never been to hurricane harbor, and I never really wanted too. But now seeing the tornado, it makes me suddenly want to go.

by **Aero737** on May 1st, 2006, 6:24 pm

They wave pool didn't look to get washed. I'm thinking its rainwater.

by **SixFlags4ever** on May 3rd, 2006, 10:02 am

The water is not rainwater it's clean,they started testing the filters and all that,someone told me,please don't ask me who.

by **Danhockey04** on May 3rd, 2006, 10:49 am

YES! The water wont be freezing like last year for opening day!!

by **Trailblazer Tony** on May 3rd, 2006, 11:30 am

Yeah, look at the water in the wavepool it looks almost filled!! And the funnel goes completely around at the bottom. The stairs for the platform, wow, i'm getting way too excited for a waterslide! :lol:

by **Carlo** on May 4th, 2006, 6:24 pm

Yes, the Wave Pool is filled. They started filling the Pool next to the wave pool for the slides on Saturday. But then it appeared then drained all the water out and then refilled it back up. I believe they are getting ready to do some training, that why they are filled up already.

by **Trailblazer Tony** on May 4th, 2006, 10:45 pm

Also, doesn't it take a while to shock the pools and get all the chemicals right? I don't know too much about pools, but one would think it would.

by **[jonrev]** on May 11th, 2006, 3:15 pm

The funnel is done!

by **zjohn1988** on May 11th, 2006, 3:34 pm

Almost done. Theres still a small part on the left side. But I cant wait to try it out when its done!
