SFGAm 2013 Updates 9/14 Update
I was thinking Viper would be cool backwards also. I am just not sure how some of the turns would feel going backwards.
I really hope Six Flags doesn't just start making every ride backwards.
"Everyone, listen to me! These jerks killed Superboy. They've tried to kill us. Now they say they're going to tear this city apart. I say... like hell."
I'm fine with it as long as they do the rotating limited time approach. I wouldn't want a long term change like Mr Freeze or Superman at SFMM.
Someone posted a Sky Trek Tower POV from one of the private events. In it, you can see igNight and Crawler. Also, you can see Viper's second train is on the storage track, so Viper at least should have 2 trains Opening Day. Also, they had a crane by Orbit, so there's a good chance Orbit will be ready, as they just needed to put the cabins on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1miPJCqpnQ
How many trains is the Dark Knight running?
^Triple Play was working with that video towards the end. Someone said that it might be closed with Ignight construction, so I'm glad it must be open. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
^ One.
It's too hard to find out stuff about TDK . I'd assume somewhere from 5-8 cars. Definitely no more than 8.
So it sounds like quite a few of you guys are going on Saturday despite the one train operation on some coasters. Ill be going also, so does anybody want to meet up somewhere? Have a little group gathering? Keep each other company while we wait 4 hours for namtaB?
Don't fight the Bull, ride the Bull!
Best 2011 Moment: "I lost my phone on Raging Bull!" "WELL I LOST A SOCK!!!" Best 2012 Moment: "No good! DREAM ON!" Best 2013 Moment: "I came here for Auntie Anne's pretzels and coasters......in that order!"
call me crazy lol but i'll be there with my daughter. . will still be fun
The whole thing is, is that the park hasn't been open to the public for 6 months, so a lot of enthusiasts are going to want to go even if ONE coaster was open. The thing with me is that I ride a bunch of flats too, so if the coasters that have one train are 1 1/2 hrs, I will be riding a bunch of other rides I miss like Triple Play, Condor, hopefully Orbit will be open, Sky Trek Tower, Ricochet, Chubasco possibly, Whirligig, etc. "I've been staring at the world, waiting.

Went to the park today to pick up my season pass coupon book and wanted to give you all a small update. The park was open today for a private event much to my surprise. I can't ever recall them having a private event the day before opening. It's not listed on the website. The lady at guests relations said it was physics day. There had to be at least be 40 buses at the park!
My observations: 1) New security checkpoint was fully up and running. Seem to work well handeling the crowds. 2) V2 was Open!  3) Viper was still running one train including X-Flight.  (Whizzer wasn't running when I was there.) Sorry, no pictures. Can't live without Roller Coasters!
well that's disappointing. ah, well. Going anyway because it's FREAKING ROLLER COASTER SEASON!
"I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Well that's surprising. I wonder what is taking Viper's second train so long, since it has been on the storage track for nearly a week now.
^^^How about Batman the Ride (open or not)? Whizzer not being open is probably because of all the rain on the radar.

Yea I like this concept also plus the walking helps losing some pounds. Great America Visits
2008 = 2 2009 = 26 2010 = 33 2011 = 17 2012 = 8 2013 = 4 2014 = 3 
Batman was not running while I was there. Which I wasn't surprised about. Hopefully they have both trains ready for tomorrow. (Not getting my hopes up though.)
Can't live without Roller Coasters!
On my way in 15 mins give all you guys an update on what's going on!
^^ If namtaB wasn't running at all, there is absolutely no chance of 2 train op this weekend, and that is a fact.
So if we head to Great America today, 5/3/13, we can get our season pass taken care of today instead of waiting hours in line tomorrow?

The website only says they're open for coupon books. I see no reason why they couldn't process a pass, but for a definite answer, I would recommend calling the park. (847) 249-1776. If they were able to process, you'd have to get up there by 4:00.
Thanks for the info. If I don't think I could make it there before four. I'll be in that hellish line tomorrow unless they have a better system now. Ha. Cheers! -Ian
I had gotten there around 315 it was raining out so no pictures but what was stated before v2 is open! Raging bull 2 trains as for viper 1:( I also didnt see Batman running and nor eagle! But maybe Batman is ready to be opened but are waiting for tomorrow to open it as stated it was coming opening day? I highly doubt that but could that be true?
From Twitter..
Edit: And here it is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTOwnx6S ... youtu.be&a
When will all the rides with only one train in operation have two or more? It looks like there is NO WAY that all the rides with one train in operation will have two by tomorrow or Sunday.
HE'S BACK!!!! ....With more complaining.  "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Usually I don't like assuming but... I highly doubt that Batman will be open tomorrow. By looks of it seats are not even on. Unless they filmed this last week or something I don't see it happening. Hopefully I'm wrong though! Well see tomorrow!
