Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Many rides at GA are better or worse with weather conditions. You'll never forget a ride on the Vu at night, and SUF is great after a rain. What are your favorite conditions to ride in? Also, have you had any good rides in special conditions?
How much longer can I last until Opening Day! ARRRRGH!

I absolutely LOVE riding the Bull at night. V2 is pretty sweet at night as well as after a rain in my opinion. Basically I like any coaster at night heh.
1. Voyage
2. X
3. Millenium Force
4. Top Thrill Dragster
5. Raging Bull
'05 Bull: 113
'06 Bull: lost count but not a lot

Iron Wolf is BAD in the rain.
Batman I hear is awsome in the dark but then again all rides are awsome in the dark
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

This ones not at GA, but Tower of Terror at Disneyworld would be SWEET during a storm! Hope the lightning doesn't hit the building.........

I know how it feels. Raging Bull in the rain feels more like a Raging Bullet than anything else.

Riding the Bull when it's hailing: the real thriller.

Any ride is better at night. Thats a law of coaster riding.
Whoever said American Eagle or Raging Bull in the rain is completely insane, or must have been wearing a coat of armor or something.
So far the best thing with conditions was Batman around 915 P.M in August with green clouds and lightning surrounding the park. We were the last train they sent and it was probably one of the scarier rides I've had.

Batman, at night, while its drizzling. it was better when it was black, but it still works yellow, i guess.

all the rides are good at night but the best are between batman and viper. Rare occasion deja vu in the light rain is good(freight fest last year).

I love all rides in the dark, as well as American Eagle Red, and Viper after it rains. SUF was good in the rain too.
Finally Coaster Season!!

SFGAm would close all rides because of "incluent weather conditions" or what ever is said.

Raging Bull is the best ride in the dark.
American Eagle is the best ride in rain.
SUF is the best ride in the morning.
Demon is the best all day long.

Any of the coasters are good at night. BTR in the rain is pretty fun. Bull in 50 degree weather is cold, but really awesome. I like pretty much every coaster in the rain.
