Before Condor & Delta Flyer/Yukon Yahoo Mystery

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

What was in place of Condor right before it came into existence?
http://timelines.home.insightbb.com/sfgam_years.htm

If you look at 1987, during this timeline, it says that Yukon Yahoo is the Baveryn Kurve and the name was changed to a Delta Flyer? Isn't Delta Flyer a sky ride? So, how could that be changed to another name. In 1991, the Delta Flyer which they are saying is that Baveryn Kurve was removed.

Condor is added during that year. Condor and the Baveryn Kurve are both in the same section. Did Condor replace the Baveryn Kurve in 1991? However, someone said that the Baveryn Kurve was by the existing wall climbing by the Demon.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

^ Yukon Yahoo was moved to the former sight of the Orleans Place sky ride station. It was then renamed the Delta Flyer. When Condor came in 1991, the ride was removed. Yukon Yahoo never operated in County Fair. PGA is the one that put theirs in front of the Demon.

That was a cool timeline. I didn't get what you were trying to say, but it looks like Nolan answered you anyway.

Six Flags had 2 condors in the Ride Rotation Program, and it's unclear which was which, I believe ours came from SFMM, but it may have been the Astroworld one.

I do know both used to travel in Germany :)

It cant be the Astroworld one because SFGAm's and SFAW's both opened in 1991.

According to the following link, our Condor came from Six Flags Great Adventure.

I also read that Astroworld's Condor was only there for the 1991 season, and SFMM's Condor operated from 1988-1989.
Finally Coaster Season!!

Wow, I thought that the go-karts were there longer than 5 years.

So it could be any one of the parks that got SFMM's Condor unless they scrapped theirs after removal.
