The Official Whats New for 08 Discussion

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby BrianPlencner on February 20th, 2008, 6:41 am
Yes, John is right. You are no where near the actual roadway when you are in the business park. However, if you climb the fence and then walk down to the road....well, you're on your own there.

But, knowing that the business park is now quite large, going from Washington Street to almost the north end of the park, you should be able to get some good pictures from there.

While I was a bit upset that the park sold the land, and had to put the waterpark in the parking lot, looking back it may have been a good idea. We now have a place that is "public" to get good views of the park without having to worry that SFGAm will chase us out! :-)

Well, I was mistaken. I guess that I-94 spot is a good place. I also guess that residential place is good as well cause Jon got some good pics, still dont know how he got those though.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

Yes, we shall be seeing those at SFGAm. I don't like the 120 minute rule, hope they are a little nicer when the line exceeds 90 minutes or so.

he means that a problem can rise if the line is longer than a hour and a half or two hours. During the summer, especially during RTS, this could be a big problem

So you would have to pay to put items in a locker from ride to ride? That could be pricey. I guess you could always get an all day locker.

/\ Exactly. They are enforcing this for faster load times, also make a few extra dollars. But I know that most major rides will have these, I am only confident on a few, but since I am unsure of exactly which ones will have these, that we will find out later.

^^^ My solution (I did this already anyway): If it doesn't fit in my zipper pocket, I don't need it at the park. That said, most families bring about 5 tons of crap with them, lol. I'm interested to see how the parks handle items that do not fit in the lockers (ie. GIANT stuffed animals)

All I need is the sun, my phone for communication if I get seperated, or possibly my I-Pod to listen to the demon song while in line. That's just hunky dory for me. :O)

They won't make you unless you have no pockets.

Yes i Agree, I beleive they are looking for more items such as sun glasses or hats. Probobly for faster movement in queue lines and so you dont loose any of your items on (or IN for TDK) the ride that fall out.

Care to elaborate? Because Six Flags is really safe if you know how to follow rules.

^You have a better chance of getting in a car accident on a flat, open country road than getting hurt on a roller coaster. (I mean major injuries, not headaches)

Regarding the locker policies:
The mandatory ride lockers will be at the following rides, and the following rides ONLY: Raging Bull, Batman: The Ride, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Iron Wolf, American Eagle, and The Dark Knight Coaster. All the other rides will still have the bins.

Nothing can be left on the platforms of those rides with the exception of loose fitting shoes at Batman and Superman. Anything that cannot be secured in a pocket or with a non-rider must be placed in a locker. Once again, if it fits in your pocket, you do NOT need a locker.

that's good that we are getting the lax policy, so far at other parks, if they spot you with a cell phone or anything similar you are made to leave the line and stick it in a locker.
