2010 Minor Updates Topic (and NCC update)

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby DejaVu2001 on December 31st, 2009, 3:31 pm
This is a topic for any confirmed changes being made at the park that aren't significant enough to warrant their own thread, but still worthy of discussion. The list will be updated as more information becomes available.

The following can be found under the "Food and Fun" tab on SFGAm's website:
Baubles, Bangles, and Beads - Mardi Gras. New shop with jewelry and accessories. This will be in the vacant building next to Jester
2400
2399

Surfer Girl - Orleans Place. Contemporary clothing. This is a redo of Frenchies across from SUF's entrance.
2403
2404

Sweet Treats - Yukon Territory. Sweets. This will go into the vacant Six Flags Kids store.

County Fair Food Court - County Fair. Sadly, it seems Farmer's Market is being renamed. I don't see what was wrong with the Farmer's Market name, especially to rename it something so generic and bland. A rendering of the redesign was shown at No Coaster and will feature a large shade structure over the eating area.
2401

ICEE Mix It Up - County Fair Games Gallery.

Cotton Candy Factory - County Fair. A second location in County Fair

Also, at No Coaster Con, SFGAm said that numerous buildings have had improvements such as paint and/or new roofs. Flags has been repainted tan.

Trolley Treats ICEE Mix It Up - County Fair? This one's got me stumped. The website says it is in County Fair, but both the trolley tracks and the current Trolley Treats location are in Hometown Square. I'm guessing they put County Fair by mistake.
probably mistake or their bringing back the parade to the way back???...!!!

I'm guessing sticky fingers. They serve ICEE's there and Stick Fingers is no good for a sponsorship tie in. Putting ICEE in the name, and they're in business :)

If only they could get Mick Jagger to sign off on sponsoring Sticky Fingers.....I'd enjoy that!

Hello again. This morning I went past the park and finally saw what I had been waiting for since closing... STT's cabin was down! and A.E.'s red cars were out too! I didn't feel like starting a whole new topic, because this is a minor update. I'm so excited!!! :mrgreen:

^ Must have just happened yesterday or today because I drove around the park yesterday morning and didn't see anything. Hopefully SFGAm puts some more pictures on Facebook since the current ones are over a month old.

Also, SFGAm has updated the shows for 2010. Everything is pretty much the same except Glow in the Park and Pictorium will now have Dick Clark's Face The Music

I don’t know too many details, but I’m told that many Six Flags parks will be launching a new premium priced level of FlashPass this summer. They’re calling it the Plantnium FlashPass and it along will cost you more than what you paid to get into the park… but they promise that it will cut down your wait time on attractions by 90% as well as include a benefit that lets you ride two times in a row without getting off. Much like regular FlashPass, the price of the Platnium access will also vary from park to park. For example… according to my source the cost set for Six Flags New England right now is $80… while Six Flags Great Adventure is pricing it at $102.

"as well as include a benefit that lets you ride two times in a row without getting off"

This really concerns me. If they literally get to ride twice without getting out of the seat, it is going to cause MAJOR problems on the platform with lots of angry people slowing down dispatches, not to mention rides like Demon and Giant Drop already have enough problems with their Flash Pass configuration.

Busch does or used to do that, though it was free. Just get on the ride, and after the ride flash your platinum pass and ride again without leaving the seat. Never had an issue, but was never at any busch park with a real line.

For about $20 more u can ride twice and the proposed decreased amount of time spent waiting is 75% for Gold and 90% for Platinum? Deal.

Why the hell not. And in 2-3 years, I can't wait for the Diamond Flash Pass where you get to ride to your hearts content on any ride at any point.

Oh wow how many stupid people are going to buy this platinum pass on opening day? $76, :shock: I hate to be in line for SUF when the park is packed wait time will be 2 hours let alone the dark knigh coaster is gonna be 3 hours. Fright Fest is going to be a mess but I wonder how many of these they are gonna have on hand a day? I would like to hear some you members opinion about this one.

If their smart, and want to keep things a bit fair, they'll reprogram some of the older ones!

if their Six Flags, they'll spend money on buying new ones. :P

If this was magic mountain park we are talking about then it's worth it but not our park we don't really have any major thrill machines in our park like magic mountain.
