Official Buccaneer Battle/2009 Attraction Thread
Those crocs should be awesome!
Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year
'09 Demon rides-50 '09 SFGAm Visits-21
Looks like the overall theming of this ride is going to be awesome.
Families are going to love this on warm days. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Isn't that what we have Hurricane Harbor for?!^
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^Why is it so hard for people to understand that having Hurricane Harbor does not eliminate the need for the regular park to have water rides?
Not everybody wants to switch into bathing suits to get wet. I guess all 4 water rides in the dry area should be removed according to you. Why does KI have a flume, a rapids ride, and a shoot the chutes? Why does Holiday World have a flume and a rapids ride? Both those parks include their water park with admission. They serve a purpose. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
For us that refuse to rent a locker or just leave our stuff laying about at a water park, it is perfect. Odds are I will not go to Hurricane Harbor, but will ride all 4 water ride.
Almost 1 week away to the BB
 I thinking this weekend that All landscapeing is in, constuction fencing is maybe gone and hopefully water is in the boats are testing or by monday. Good weekend for more closeup photos of the ride. I'm checking things out on Friday afternoon 3-5pm after all students left from Marketing Day. A time for walk-ons  Today- Thursday is open for Physics Day Student only.In-case people drive by see all the buses in the parking lot and the rides operating:!: If you want to learn the physics of the rides. Here's it is- http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/assets/pdf/Physics%20Day%20Student%20Manual%202009.pdf Party all Night, Sleep all DAY!!!

Water and boats are in! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gurnee-IL ... 0583866355
What a day, what a place!
I love the picture of the heater....
If I hear this at the park I will laugh!: "Really, the whole purpose I want to go onto a water ride is so I can pay $5 to dry off when I get off!" "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
For what it is worth it looks so much better than I ever thought possible...kids get ready! Everyone else wait another year or two.

^Great good timing on everything -just testing over the weekend and ready for media Day on tuesday!
Anyone stopping by the park Friday? I'll will be there to take in the sights of everything  Party all Night, Sleep all DAY!!!
This ride looks so dinky! I don't why, but it just looks worse than I thought it would be. There is some red squid theming in the ride. Splash Water Falls wouldn't have been a better place to put this ride (more land). 4 boats still not in the trough yet (by SUF).

Yup the 4 year old will be bored by how slow and boring it is after the first ride...seriously what a waste especially since deja was improving...never mind

Thats probably going to be my purpose.
Well. Many people have been telling me on youe and theme park review that they give SFGAM credit for giving a ride Universal Studios/Disney theming. Now I saw this ride today, and I actually thought it wasn't half bad. I mean, you will probably get really wet on this ride because it goes slow and there is a lot of time to get wet.
And I saw it testing today! Yep yep! 
I think Buccaneer Battle is going to be successful because it's a ride for the entire family and it's an interactive ride whether your on the ride or just spraying riders from the walkway.

Deja Vu much? (I don't mean the ride) That's what they said about TDK. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
^How is TDK interactive? in my opinion that ride was poorly marketed. It's supposed to be a fmily ride, but it was based on a pg-13 movie. And as we're learning recently, TDK didn't even have all of it's theming to begin with. But with Buccaneer Battle, I think it will be easier to market as a family ride because you can actually see the ride compared to TDK where some people may have been expecting something like Rock 'n' Rollercoaster.

^ I was referring to this:
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
I saw of the targets being tested yesterday. It does seem like you will get wet, probably soaked. There is water that comes out of the palm tree and you have to get wet. And I saw this target with a seagull statue and it shot water 20 feet in the air. I thought it was sweet. (Don't forget all people shooting you with water)
So today I went to the Media Day event and I have to say... This ride is GREAT!
The themeing on this ride is really good, I'm happy to see six flags steeping it up! Station looks great and so dose the little fort. But the ride itself was also great (unlike TDK.) You get totally soaked and you are kept busy trying to soak other guest and hit the targets. All in all its one of the best addition to SFGAm in quite some time... So go ride it! (I'll post a short video with some clips of the ride some time soon) Edit: The ride is going to have really good capacity once they add the other four boats (2000 guests an hour) As well as the fact that the spectator cannons are free and plentiful Last edited by kumba830 on May 12th, 2009, 7:52 pm, edited 2 times in total.

I'm still not convinced  I'll bet without a flash pass, it won't come close to being worth the wait. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Heres a link of media day pictures of BB
