Ah gotcha, I'm not that knowledgeable on Hurricane Harbor Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
I can care less what they do with Hurricane Harbor. I haven't gone since they made it a separate gate.
It's way more of a pain in the ass to go to both parks in a single day so I just don't bother.
If there were no limits in this world, i'd move Hurricane Harbor somewhere else and use that land for something like a coaster or themed land. Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
Here's one for you GreatAmericanFox! It probably won't happen. But I would love to see a family Gravity group coaster like Bobcat at Great Escape replace these water slides lol
I've noticed that trim into the figure 8 turn on , every time I've ridden it this year (19 total rides)! Single Day Ride Count Record
50 rides 8/17/2018 (Without Flash Pass - Coasters After Dark) ---- "Here we go, kids!! Here we go!!"
Agreed. Now that we’ve got Hurricane Harbor Rockford, you can tear down the whole water park for all I care. The only slides that are actually good to me there are Tsunami Surge and Tornado. (Anybody else find it lazy that both of those are re-used names? Not even Tsunami Surge, which is record-breaking and not a clone? By clone, I mean another slide that can be found in a Six Flags legacy park, unlike MASSIV at Schlitterbahn.)
Another statement I agree with. It sucks that those Entertainment Village plans didn’t come to fruition. If they did, the water park would have been placed on the other side of the I-94 and the dry park would have lots of room to expand.
OMG.... It's going to happen! They are going to finish Maxx Force!!!! CONFIRMED.
This strikes me as funny. In 1999, Great America's go-karts were originally placed in the Dive Bomber / Mega Wedgie / Wipeout plot of land. They were later moved to the Bugs Bunny National Park area in 2012, where they currently reside. If the park won't get rid of the go-karts, then maybe ...

This is good. Now I can get drunk at the park.
New teaser by old HH next to Demon.
Screamscape reports it could be a clone of Dr. Diabolical  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dr. Diabolical or Wonder Woman/Jersey Devil clones seem like good bets.
I'm just hoping they don't touch Demon. Or if they do, it's nothing more than new trains and a refurb. Keep Eurofighters in Europe
The new teaser video has the letters S R H S S capitalized which I believe is going to spell out the name of Rakshasa in the end.

This is the thing that has finally convinced me that this is more than something for Fright Fest. What is the point to go this big if it is for Fright Fest. Could it be that the sign has info for construction workers that the park does not want park guests to see so they slapped some cheap “this is a mysterious sign” nonsense on top of it to cover the info? Some nonsense that could be removed on and off easily? Really makes you think.
It’s for 2025. The clues point to 2025. And clearly are for the new trademark “Wrath of Rakshaha”. They also don’t typically tease Fright Fest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What the * are they doing?

Happy this didn’t turn out worse:
“An electrical strip cord had shorted out and caused a burning odor in the administrative building, Pellitteri said.” https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2024 ... urs-apart/
You left out the part where they said no active fire was found.
They got lucky.
The short caused a “burning odor.” That’s it. Apologies for not including more.
 The photo isn’t mine. Saw it on a Facebook group. But they have bulldozed Bucky entirely now. That was pretty quickly and all but confirms the 2025 ride will use Bucky space! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
As of yesterday it's even more leveled.
I didn't get a photo at the end of the day, but they spent most of their time jack hammering the station platform and breaking it down. The only thing still standing by the end of the day was that same wall seen in the video I posted here. https://imgur.com/a/great-america-2025-8-7-24-xrqJApV
Well as with last coaster additions, the number of teasers will be 4 with the official announcement coming Next Thursday!
Final Banner should be in the park today and final video teaser will be at 3pm which we’ve already seen the wordle from that banner! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This might have already been posted, but in case it wasn't, maintenance appears to be putting a red train on the tracks today on Eagle. Ride op say they hope to have it back in business "soon."
Hopefully for Fright Fest. The latest tears indicate a Dive Coaster. They mention steel and drop now too. And the number 5. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
So the red side made a test run today with the dummies in fact. Only one test run though from what I could tell. Also it seems like the original overhead voice for BTR is back or at least close to it.
