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

Probably just for security. Most businesses leave at least parking lot lights on overnight to deter any troublemakers. It's possible they might have nighttime security on staff as well.

They were originally unsure of it would, but who knows now.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the park will move Dark Knight Coaster's on-ride photo camera to Goliath. I don't think anyone would miss being blinded every time they ride TDK :lol:

They can still get blinded by the lights and horns before the station. Another reason I hate that coaster.

I actually liked the effect at the end. I miss it. The on ride photo on tdk does suck. It's at such a weird point I always look so weird in the pics.

So then apparently "a polar vortex wont stop Goliath"... Not saying they should be working in this. They shouldn't, these temps are extremely dangerous. But don't brag about doing something your not.

They never explicitly stated they were working on it. It was just a fun picture.

They were out there earlier working on some bents. Right now there's a couple guys working right beside the tunnel.

Update: They are digging out the tunnel right now.

They have a crane in motion over towards the other end of the ride. I wonder if they're working on the second half of the floater hill or something.

That's a concrete pumper, I would guess they're probably taking care of the footer for the lift stuff
