BB testing, and LTNP, ant tr

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby sfgamguy on May 9th, 2009, 12:15 pm
first off, as of yesterday,(5-8-09) BB was testing. here's the video I made
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVcc6CAakWs

then what are they doing to LTNP?

A new Guitar Hero game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HZXG5JNJeU

so here's my tr:
got to the park at 2:00,
TDK, new things added like the joker car at the end, a very cool red, green, and blue fx light,new walls, and the pipe mist thing you go under
RR was closed, so next was ragin cajun. this was the time I've spun the most!
We rode v2 once
loggers run 7 times w/o getting off(always a fun ride)
AE 4 times w/o getting off
Demon 13 times w/o getting off
then I took some pictures of BB
next was RB, then it was 5:00 closing time

I'm heading back to the park now, and I will be going to the park on sunday, hoping the crowds will be minimal since it's mothers day. (I will post my TRs here later)

I assumed for Looney Tunes area, that those trucks were for Buccaneer Battle since it's not that far away from it. In that area, there were a number of red, and white trucks. Maybe, it's also easier to tow the boats into that area, and than put them in the ride instead of taking down the fence??

More information is that the railroad track was getting fixed by the Demon (Need wood I'm guessing). They were using a small Cat truck.

yup, i was there today 5/9... and it BB was testing also.

I just dont know how the hell there will be enough to go around for everyone on this ride. Not only is it slow as hell, but everyone will just stand in front of the guns outside the ride forever. Its one of those things where if its not available right when you get there, you wont want to wait for it.

When its warm, this ride is gonna have the longest line by far because of being new.

Compare the sign in the video at 1:11 to this:

Looks like they just painted the old Deja Vu sign and put Buccaneer Battle on it.

^^It does look very familiar.
Anyways, BB looks very boring :roll:
I'm probably going to ride it depending how long the line is.

The level of theming on the new SF rides is great, though its too bad SFGAm hasnt gotten it on any good rides. Terminators going to be an amazing coaster and looks like its going to be very well themed and only an hour down the Santa Ana freeway from me, yay :)

Ok But now they have a ride with a lot of theme and alot of ELEMENTS just like the new Dark Knight Coaster, But how long do you think it will be to when they cut staff on these rides and start turning off themeing or affects or lights because they do not want to have the staff on hand to maintain it!

One key element to tell weather it is or not is the yellow balls on the top of each pole.

that for sure looks like the same gateway they just painted it and added that wood backing with the BB logo over it.

Is it safe to say, weather permitting, Friday would be a good day to check out the other rides when BB opens?

Went to the park today, a few small updates.

-BB was cycling once again all day.
-LTNP was OPEN throughout the day.
-AEB was down all day.
-Lifeguards were being trained, pools filled up.
-Wheel covers are in BTR's station, don't remember seeing them there last time.
-SUF was running two trains... no one tells me these things.

Overall, not crowded. Pretty much just a bunch prom weekend rejects. Everything was a walk-on, got on everything at least 5+ times.

And I'm digging the 70's flashback at the end of TDK now. :wink:

I think it's better to just not go on it's opening day. Go the day after, and the line for it will be much better because everyone needs to get on it right away. They can't wait.

Good luck trying Guitar Hero on expert. I tried Living on a Prayer, now, I can play that song on expert with my eyes closed, and nail over 95% with ease, but, i didn't even last 3 seconds before I failed out.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

Yes, I'm sure the line will be a lot shorter on a Saturday in May.
