So to access the wifi in the park you have to download the Six Flags app? Has anyone tried that yet?

I don't think the whole park Wifi is supposed to be ready until May...

Thanks, thought that was just Mobile ordering, but that makes perfect sense.

Possible reason V2 is closed, per JiggidyNDG:

Oh no I hope they get it worked out. I love V2 a lot. Hopefully they open it soon.

They need to repaint it while they're at it! V2 is long overdue for a paint job! 18 years is a long time!

[SFGAM_Hog]

I think V2 would be great as The Flash. The Flash at Discovery Kingdom will have "thematic elements" which I assume is sound effects. Again, just name Yankee Harbor Gotham Harbor..

You need more exclamation points! I didn't quite get your point!

..... But seriously, yes it needs to be painted. I wouldn't be surprised if it was removed before that happened.

Hell V2 needs a giant "PAINT ME" sign with 18 exclamation points after it!


At least Superman is finally getting some love. that thing was almost as bad as V2

Looks like Mooseburger got a new sign or it at least got painted. Nice.

This upkeep makes a big difference, especially for first time visiotrs! When they replace jim Reid Anderson, I really hope the new CEO does one year with no new rides and puts teh entire capex budget into infrastructure, asset maintenence, paint jobs, etc.

True, but for every little detail, there is a bigger problem. The first thing I noticed is how DIRTY the park was. There were cups and junk in XFlight's queue that were there from last year. Peeling paint everywhere, and lots of faded signs. God, I just want to go through the park with a weed whacker, a garbage can, and a pressure washer...

Yeah, it was really bad this past weekend. It felt like Premier Parks was in charge again. That's exactly how I remember the park looking back in the early 2000's!.

Hey everyone just a quick notice but the park has been updated on Google Maps to about summer 2018:

Heads up, it's gonna snow again, so park operation will be heavily impacted this weekend.

I'll join ya, let's form a committee!!

Have they continued painting Superman?

On opening day, you could clearly see where they had painted new paint on Superman. From what I remember, one of the banks, the turn out of the station, and the few pieces before the last inversion were all painted. I would assume they would continue. Anyone have any pics?

[SFGAM_Hog]

Yesterday, I could tell the turn between brake runs was being repainted.

This past weekend, I finally visited Big Lou's for the first time. It is a hilariously awful waste of space and the sandwich was unbelievably dry for an Italian Beef sandwich. I guess that having something is better than nothing in that previously unused space, but there is so much potential that is completely wasted. The current set up is laughable and I hate what they did to the new bar area. They took a spot that had lots of seating, and replaced it with a bar and four 4 tops.

To me, the place is just another example of how poorly the park is run and how the park is satisfied with mediocrity.

Yep, I would have liked to see them install some (air conditioned) indoor seating in that area. Would be really useful on extremely hot or cold days.

Got an offer for basic dining today for 35 (lunch/snack only gurnee/magic waters)...Anybody seen a better offer or should I grab it? have 2 full dining passes, but the 4 year old would eat at least 1 meal/snack a day.
would rather have the one that works at other parks for him, since i'll be travelling this year, food in gurnee is really just a frustrating experience all around, hope it gets just a bit better with mobile, but it likely won't. really curious to see how busy/crowded food etc is at magic waters this year-
