Postby sixflagsguy5 on March 8th, 2004, 6:56 pm
Hi i'm doing a report for school on the new rides for sfgam for the 2004 season. I was wondering if anyone has an explaination for big easy balloons and/or for The Jesters Wild Ride. If you do that would be great. Pictures would also be good. Thanks for your help.

Big Easy Balloons: is just a Zamperla Balloon race. All you do is sit in a hot air balloon shaped carriage and spin in circles. Kinda like Whirligig.

http://www.flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%2 ... kntug.html

The Jesters Wild Ride is a Zamperla Rockin' Tug but without the Tug Boat and with a Mardi Gras float. What happens is the the ride starts to rock back and forth and then the Mardi Gra Float starts to spin in circles

For more info look on the Zamperla website http://www.zamperla.it/
Hope that helps

P.S this Topic is in the wrong Fourm.

That link took me to a weird foreign site and the only link on the page, closed the window.

Further reference. You may want to post topics like this in the Six Flags Great America Forum. Not the Gaming Forum.

He means that this part of the board is about things like computer games. Games as Roller Coaster Tycoon, or No Limits or something like that, your asking about a flat ride, which would be better in the SFGAM part of the board...

Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2

He means:

Go here then go here then go here to post a new topic in the Six Flags Great America Forum.

EDIT: Sorry, w00dland posted while I was writing this. Didn't mean to repeat anyone.

Jesters is indeed a Rockin Tug ride :)

Also for Big Easy Baloons, the press release said that the Big Easy Balloons will have cars that riders will be able to "spin like crazy" (exactly like Chubasco)(and as if the ride was nauseating enough as it is)
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

For people still wodnering what the Big Easy Ballloons is, if you have ever been to Santa's Village it is the same as their balloon ride, one of my favorites there, but nothing owns like the Typhoon coaster 8).

Typhoon= "The ultimate head-ache inducing, knee crunching" machine.

I would rather power ride their dragon coaster.

And yes, Big Easy Balloons will be just like "Balloon Race" at Santa's Village. It's a fun ride for the whole family.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
