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

If any of you guys have been driving by the park recently you may have noticed the skyline is looking a little more blue. STT is currently in the process of being painted and will remain open on weekends, LARRY the gorilla will be on top of Condor which will be closed. I love that they are finally doing this. Sky Trek is a classic attraction/family favorite and its great to see it getting cosmetic attention.

Blue......hmm should be interesting the way it looks. So Condor's going to be closed and Larry on top, that'll look very strange

Awww.... I always liked STT being white and having a red cabin... I can't imagine it otherwise. I'm definitely going to miss that. Weird how the gorilla is going on Condor now.

Very Strange...The whole point of the King Kong up there was it's the highest point of the park...kinda like Empire State building is highest in New York....

Well that should eliminate the 911 calls from the morons on 294 that call saying that it's on fire during Fright Fest.
Good to see the tower getting some attention. I'd personally like to see some of the window panels replaced as well.

I'm pretty sure the gorilla being on Condor is just for this year due to painting. Wouldn't want to get red and blue paint on the gorilla

What would be cool is if they have it decorated inside the cabin and still make it look like it's on fire

Yeah, or make a FF recording at the top of the cabin with lighting effects or something

Yeah that would be cool, I mean they don't have to have the silhouettes but put the flames and the strobe lights at the bottom to make it look like the guests inside are in trouble

Great, great ideas! I think that would be so amazing to be up that high and have all those effects going off.

So, what are the colors? I know you say blue, but is it all blue, or is the cabin still going to be red? Is there going to be white in it anymore? Is Deja Vu blue?
Wouldn't Larry get popped on Condor with the bird on top? I guess the Birds thing last year didn't do so good for more people going on it. Are they going to leave Condor at the top like they did Sky Trek Tower?

Perhaps they'd make the Cabin white.

I would be surprised if they closed Condor for Fright Fest. Can they even leave Condor at the top like they do with STT during Fright Fest? Is Condor going to be the Birds again for Fright Fest?

Does anyone have any pictures of the tower getting repainted? And why is Condor already closed for the season?
