I just took a random nap at 12:30am & had a dream we got that damn S&S 4D Freespin in RC's spot. I woke up in a panic about capacity! LOL

#1, it was a joke. #2, If they were removing Superman, they wouldn't have told random guest relations employees about it.[/quote]

July 2013 I went into guest relations and asked about the secret unannounced plans for 2014. They took me aside and told me that it would be an RMC coaster with a 180 foot 85 degree first drop, 2 inversions, top speed of 72 mph and a ride capacity of 1,000 guests per hour. One employee thought that the short 1:45 minute ride time would disappoint guests, while the other employee thought it would be just long enough to keep people coming back. Most surprising to me, they also predicted that harsh winter conditions would delay its opening by one month, and that the lift hill design would undergo revision.

Sometimes you just need to know the right guest relations employees to talk to :o[/quote]

That's not even funny. Now you're just being a jerk alright. Just...stop

Guys! Let's not fight, let's be happy that we're not being bought out by Cedar Fair and being turned into Gauega Lake 2.0.

I thought it was at least kind of funny. I couldn't resist. I've read too many "I talked to guest relations" posts not to laugh when someone thinks they got inside information from them about future SFGAm plans :)

Let's get back to analyzing the the guy riding the pig in the carousel. :) It can't be a reference to the three little pigs because that's too obvious. The petting zoo guess was warm, but not quite right.

The park will be converting Buccaneer Battle into a boat ride wildlife safari. Real animals too, not fakes. The park will build an indoor space in the BB overflow queue to house them for Fright Fest and the winter months. It'll be one of the only live animal zoo attraction between Chicago and Milwaukee.

Either that or they will take the animals from the carousel and use those as the seats for a sky screamer. Who wouldn't want to ride a pig 300 feet in the air?

For the last and only time, they are NOT removing Superman! I told you guys at the beginning of the year I asked guest relations and they ensured me that Superman will not be removed.

Superman is NOT being removed so let it go and move on!

I'm not even sure if the pig actually means anything. Maybe he's on Columbia Carousel just for the sake of being on Columbia Carousel. Just a thought.

If you find that bad, I'd hate to see how you handle something that actually is offensive. You remind me of that guy on the Dolphins.

I doubt the pig actually means anything. But if it does, it could be a reference to Porky Pig and a new (or rethemed) Looney Tunes kids area, ever since they took out Bugs Bunny National Park we're one of the few Six Flags parks without one (and it seems like the type of thing they might do in a year after a major thrill ride).

That's a good guess. The Kidzopolis theme hasn't resonated. I think it would be cool if they dumped that and brought Looney Toons back.

This makes me think of something.

Pig = Porky Pig

Porky Pig = Porky Pig's Buzzy bees coming back?

I mean, it would probably be more than that, but yeah...

A sky screamer will probably not be at SFGA anytime soon. The height restrictions in Gurnee are very low. A sky screamer cant be just 150 feet.

I believe the height restriction is 329 or 330 ft, 150 ft is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Anyone thought that he's on the carousel because something's going on in carousel plaza.

We could get something in CP( no room so not gonna happen)
Or because pictorium is in carousel plaza and something new is coming to pictorium
