My Ideas to improve SFGAm!!

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

I'd rather see a coaster like this...

That'd fit in the "Plymouth Place" spot rather well... mainly since I designed it that way.

WOW! If built it would by far be the craziest coaster I would have ever been on.
I wish I lived in Chicago so I could go to Six Flags more often!

I'm curious to see how long, Adix, your picture in your thread will last. The Mods generally don't like picture inserts within the posts.

That is a crazy coaster, though!

For what it's worth, it's 52 Kb (not bad) and 500 wide, which would probably meet most other forum's criteria... and I'd have thought a mod would have noticed and fixed it by now... oh well.

As long as you host it from another site the pic is fine.

I'd add a message board (maybe 3 around the park) that display the current wait times for the major attractions.



Disney World has a few at Epcot and at least one (that I know of) at MGM Studios
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

That's where I got the idea. They also have them at Magic Kingdom. (I'm not sure about Animal Kingdom). Anyways, the one at Epcot is electronic and times are sent, I believe, from the queue lines. The one at Magic Kingdom (or is it MGM, I'm not sure) is on a blackboard, and they radio to an employee who stands by. The problem is you have to assign an employee to stand by each board. I'd rather see them working rides, especially flats on those really busy days when 1 is not enough.

they have boards like that at Universal too. and instead of having an employee man the signs, just make them electronic. that way an employee at the ride can type in the line and status of the ride and the sign is updated instantly.

edit: instead of turning plymouth place into big city or whatever, why not theme it around a 4th of July celebration? if you look at the area surrounding it, there isn't a theme for a specific area of the country so why change that area to the theme of a specific area? instead, just do a general theme that goes across the country. SSA won't really fit in, but if you're going to theme the area, you might as well go all out and add rides and such.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

You know how there's that drainage thing in Batman's line? They should have some sort of water effect in there. That would be cool!

Like a burst pipe or something? Although I can see some idiot start splashing other people because they want attention. They could also have water run down from the top of the pipe along the walls, covering the walls with a thin sheet of water. This may seem inpossible but is in fact very possible.

Another good idea for B:TR's themeing is to like update gotham city a lil' bit like put back the batmobile & mabye even like change YAnkee Harbor to like Gotham City or somethin'

But with a yellow Batman :evil: :lol: It wont work.

^...

What the heck? One less person in the line for me, then.

And apparently I've missed this, because where did anything official say that BTR is losing the theming?

If they wanted to retheme batman realy cool, give it a preshow so your ride actually has a purpose and your on a mission rather than just flying around gotham city, or update its theme to the new batman movie coming out this summer.

^^Or they could just get a 3d batman ride film in ssa in 2005.

What ever happened to the Batman Stunt Show at the park? I know they used to have one, I just don't remember where it took place and when they stopped the show.

It was where the Southwest Ampitheater is now, and it took place until they opened SWT. So the railroad crossing was always there.

Sorry SFGAm but I for one do not like your little {oh I'm gonna paint B:TR yellow and take out all it's themeing and think the GP'll like it} well i've had it :!: I'm going to Cedar Point twice instead of SFGAm.



Wow you are acting like batman turning the yellow is the end of the world, well its not a big deal. Even if it was a big deal, They started painting it yellow now so theres nothing you can do about it besides sit back and enjoy it. It's going to look different, there is no doubt in my mind about that, but its nothing to get your pantys in a bunch over. It probally wont look bad when its done. in my opinion it will look pretty sharp. But go ahead, go to cp. It isnt any hair off my ass. As mentioned above 1 less person I have to deal with while waiting in line the more enjoyable my day is. Oh and by the way while your driving 5 hours or whatever to you recordbreaking Cedar Point, ill be at the yellow Batman checking it out and riding even if i dont like how the colors turn out.

I know. in my opinion I like Batman's new paint.


P.S: I dont remember the billboard where they have queue times. I dont think Magic Kingdom has one. The scary thing is that I go to Disney World every year in June for about 7 days. But no worry. I go to SFGAm WAY more often

I think to improve the park they should make orleans place's theming way more nicer by making all the buildings 2 storys, having big wired fences, a plaza, a nice resteraunt, and some other crap like old classic cars. Also make the paths brick.

They should also tear out some games along the left side of swt and replace it and some of the side wall on chubasco a mexican village with more shade, more color, more detail, and once again, brick. Make it more civilized. They should plant a ton of trees in the open area in front of south west territory ( in front of chobasco), give it brick floors, and set up a mexican food market like the mexico section in sfot. Play spanish music they would normally play at fiesta mexicana, and paint all the buildings red green and yellow. Make the area less old west ghost town and more mexican villiage and mission.

They could also make a california beach/boardwalk section with a new coaster.

But i'll be on Millenium Force twice this year and never on raging bull!



First off the track will be yellow. The rest of the ride remains black. In case you haven't seen it, the Batman logo is yellow and black. Gee, what was SFGAm thinking in painting the ride to resemble the colors of the logo. :roll:

If supposed de-theming of a ride at SFGAm is going to make you head on out to CP, go for it. CP is just loaded with theming on their rides. [sarcasm]
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Except the supports have been painted, are not now, and never have been, black. Traditional Batman is a grey jumpsuit and blue cape, cowl, undies, gloves, and boots. Maybe a yellow accent with the utility belt and possibly around the chest emblem.
