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

I just saw on NBC 5 news there will be a special investigation report about Emergency Medical Care at the park. 'And now a report prompts state action.' Is this really necessary to report the same day as this announcement?

I'm already predicting that this coaster won't be open until memorial day at the latest. One being given this is Six Flags we're talking about and two being that wooden coasters take a little longer to construct than a steel coaster. Then again who knows, they could surpise us all and actually have the coaster open by opening day next year? :roll:

You can direct anything to that URL if you put http://content.sixflags.com/comingin2014/ first. Not saying it won't be called Goliath, but anything can redirect to Six Flags' WordPress login like http://content.sixflags.com/comingin2014/blahblahblah

Who's up for a boycott if it's named Goliath? We can stand in front of the queue and hand out flyers to recruit people to our cause!

That is true, but..

http://content.sixflags.com/comingin2014/goliath

Look what that link turns into when you click it.

And I still don't get why people don't like the name. Yes, it's over used, but at least it's a good name that actually applies to the ride. Knowing Six Flags they could have called it something like Krazy Koaster or Lex Luthor or Jack Link's Sasquatch's Forest Adventure Presented by Takis and sponsored by Stride.

Well it's called goliath. Made of wood. Most likely by RMC. This day just keeps getting better

That happens with other links to. Try...

http://content.sixflags.com/comingin201 ... thekerster

That comes out to http://content.sixflags.com/comingin201 ... r&reauth=1

I guess I just don't want the name to be Goliath so I'm trying to convince myself it'll be a unique name. :lol: If it is Goliath (which all clues point to it being called Goliath, especially the employee named David) I guess it won't matter as long as the ride is crazy awesome!

I have a feeling this coaster will be the best of all the "Goliath" coasters out there! Especially if it's RMC.

^^ That just put what you wrote in the link. http://content.sixflags.com/comingin2014/goliath turns into the original link I posted, with Goliath and Great America in the url. Your link doesn't put Great America in the url.

I think I get what he means. The link which is just sixflags.com turns into Great America's in the URL. Aside from the links, all of the teasers point to it being called Goliath. The employee is named David, they showed GIANT drop at the beginning of one of the teasers, and there's a few other things that hint to something "giant". I'm still hoping it isn't Goliath, but I won't be mad if it is. It's the roller coaster ride itself that matters, not the name.

... You would seriously boycott a ride because of it's name.

All I can do is express my displeasure to the SF marketing staff. So whoever runs the SFGAm Twitter page, I hope you're reading and pass this along to your superiors.

Didn't we just have a huge discussion about sarcasm and how no one really knows when it's there or not?

I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic which is why I asked that.

And no "we" did not have any discussion. This is my first time viewing and posting in a while.
