So from the website i noticed a few things:

1. The 4th of July event has been renamed and is no longer sponsored by Coca-Cola
2. With the Exception of Grad Night, Boo Fest, and Fright Fest, all other events have removed the Six Flags Branding.
3. The Park's last day of operation this year is most likely November 2nd

Hopefully that Great American Nights event keeps the Classic "Great" text from the original Great America logo like the previous Great Summer Nights Logo
It hasn’t been sponsored by Coke for years now.

Um, I'm 99.9% sure this totally is the Coca-Cola logo

Maybe at some parks but I don’t think it was at ours because I remember specifically discussing how it wasn’t sponsored by Coke anymore. Because the whole celebration was scaled back from the “4th Fest” days

But I could be wrong…

It’s also possible that it was originally supposed to be sponsored by Coke and then changed when the event got closer..but again, not worth the argument. It’s not a big deal.

Yes that’s correct. Although I didn’t see the garbage cans with the big coke logos out this past year.
Happy to hear the nighttime parade is coming back. Riding in the bugs bunny parade as a kid in the 80s was always a huge memory of mine.

2 Great America updates:

1. Smoking is no longer allowed except for at the front gate (this goes for all other parks too)

2. Six Flags Great America has been iROC certified

I'm thrilled about the no smoking policy (which people will disobey anyway)

But the iROC I'm less thrilled about. All I've ever heard about it is that people hate it because it massively slows operations. I was already annoyed with the seat assigning. I wanna pick my damn seat. I always pick front of the train at Goliath because the rear causes me back pain from the sheer insanity of the negative G's.

We'll see how Great America handles it, they had good ops last year i'm sure they can compromise with iROC while still keeping those faster operations

AS for smoking, as long as it's strictly enforced people won't do it

I agree with Goku! I always want to pick my own seat! And I think a row grouper is a total waste of a resource. People will naturally fill in rows where needed. I don't really like someone holding my hand and walking me to a row like has happened at Whizzer!
