Rides

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

Am I the only one who who would like to see the Sky Whirl or "Tweety Bird Cages" back in action? I never got a chance to ride this and have alwyas regretted it, Six Flags Great America was 1 or 2 parks that had this rare Triple Ferris Wheel (the other park was Great America in Santa Clara California). I would also like to see the Haybaler, Yukon Yahoo, Bottoms Up, and Splashwater Falls rides back. In case you do not know the Haybaler was a Hymala or Musik Express (although this ride went faster), the Bottmas up was a Trabant
(go to greatamericaparks.com for more), Splashwater Falls was a modern day shoot the chutes it was a cheesy water ride but really did the job of cooling you off with its giant splash, And I have no idea what the yukon Yahoo was although it looked like something cool. If anyone has any website that has pictures or better yet video of any or all of these rides please let me know.

^^Just to let you know, I'd say about 99.99% of the people here already know what you just said. Search on Flikr if you want pics. btw, Astroworld also had a triple ferris wheel.

^ Nope. AstroWorld's was completely different. It only had 2 wheels.

Sky Whirl was removed due to structural issues, triple wheels most likely wont be making a comeback.

^Yeah, and those won't be making a comeback either.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
