Is Trailblazer really being taken down?

[ttd rox]

Is it going down because it was my favorite ride!!! I know Triple Play is still there. Trailblazer is not listed in Six Flags Great America's ride list for 2007. Is this true!!!!!! Or is it just a rumor? But then why wouldn't Six Flags list it. Maybe it is true!!! Please tell me the truth if any one can. Thnx if u can!

Triple Play is there and running.

Trailblazer is no longer.

[RBull4life]

Ahhhh, its not a rumor. It is gone. Sorry to break the bad news to you, but I do have some good news for you, and that is Triple Play is still there.

And that is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

[ttd rox]

Well im glad Triple Play is running but Trailblazer is still gonna be my fav even though its no more but a shredded wagon.

[ttd rox]

when i went to six flags last year triple play was in pieces they must have done so new stuff to it.

[FParker185]

about 1/4 of Trailblazer is still there, though all sources say it will not return. Part of Triple Play was sent to Six Flags Over Texas to fill in for a damaged part on their new for 2006 Trioka while their part was fixed, now our parts are back.

[ttd rox]

kk that makes sense about triple play.

So does anyone know WHY Trailblazer got taken out? It was cool. One of my favorite flats, if not THE favorite out of Southwest Territory. Oh well, I guess it's not too bad as long as ol' Ricky is still running. BTW, I'm new, so wassup?

Im new today too and I agree, as long as ricks there its get me dizzy and sick but still love it. Trailblazer is still my fav flat ride. Does King Chaos gets u sick and is it fun and same with revolution. Are they any good?

[demon boy]

KC and revy are both good, but if you have an intolarent stomach, it'll mess you up.

[BullInDaBack4Life]

King Chaos and Revolution are a lot of fun. Revvy is my favorite flat ride of all in the whole park and it sucked that last year when I went, it was closed for both days. But I don't get sick on them. I'm sure you could if you ate a lot before the ride, especially Chaos and Revvy. Here's a tip, don't do that! I don't get sick on Richochet ever. It's an awesome ride. By the way, Chaos used to be better. I think they made it a little less intense because people must have been getting sick on the ride. It used to have more flips and stuff when I first went on it a few years back.

[ttd rox]

no i dont have any problem with my stomach just curious if it gets ya dizzy. ill try em this year. they look fun. i heard raging bull is rough this year, is that true or is it still warming up for the season, u would've thought it would be warmed up by now.
PS: does anybody like top thrill dragster?

[ttd rox]

o ya, im still curious why they took down trailblazer? does anybody know?
if so, plz tell me, thnx. be on for a while like an hour or so, so ill get your replies.

[demon boy]

Nobodies really sure, it could be one of the following

too much downtime
no attendance (or too little of it)
to much $$$ to run
just old and dysfunctional
want to expand the haunted house for FF and needed that room
putting a new ride in its place
TB is getting the same thing done as TP

[BullInDaBack4Life]

Uh, yeah. I'm also still curious. Well, I suppose it wasn't getting enough people. I mean, most of the time when I went on it, it was a straight up walk on. I even remember getting to re-ride it on a few occasions. R.I.P.!

[FParker185]

Trailblazer has a "design shortcoming", it's doubtful SF will pay to fix it.

[ttd rox]

i hope trailblazer comes back or a ride similar to it

[ttd rox]

So what are they doing with the parts? Are they putting them into storage?

[demon boy]

^yes, its in the same shed as Schockwave

[RagingBullFan]

It is still for sale for around $250,000.

It not in Shockwave's building, the only thing that remains of Shockwave is the station and lift chain. Trailblazer is still outside just in many pieces waiting for a buyer.

[ttd rox]

Isn't Shockwave scrapped and the tracks are disdfigured now. Almost like they got melted.

[RagingBullFan]

Shockwave was sold for scrap metal long ago, no track pieces remain.

[ttd rox]

That's what i thought. But Demon Boy said it isn't. I saw somebosy who had some scrap peices of it.

[RagingBullFan]

Those were very small pieces from the ride. The vast majority of the ride was melted down for other uses. The trains were sent to other parks for use as spare parts.

Only thing we kept was the lift chain as its the same chain as Demon.

[Mr. D.T.]

I saw the skull at the opposite end of the ride from the wagon sitting down somewhere in the backlot.
