Does anyone remember Delta Flyer???

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

I was just wondering if anyone remembers the Delta Flyer. It was the ride that was removed to make way for Condor back in 1991. I remember it being really fun, but of course I was only 10 years old when it was removed. For those that do remember it, would you consider it a roller coaster? For those that don't remember it, it was a series of cars that traveled in a circle. Half of the circle was banked, so it felt like you were riding up the wall. It was pretty cool, but as I said, I was really young when I rode it.

Yes, the old skyride was named Delta Flyer. But when they took the skyride down in the mid 80's, they moved Yukon Yahoo to Orleans Place and renamed that to Delta Flyer. I think it was some sort of Bayurn Curve ride.
Finally Coaster Season!!

I forgot how much fun that ride was until I went on one at SFMM over Thankgiving. I loved that ride as a kid. No I don't consider that a coaster.
Waiting to fill this space with something stupid to say!

I think I only went on it once and that was with my dad. I remember the operators did a competition to see who could keep their hands up the longest. Its a flat ride not a coaster.
