Roller Coasting After Dark

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby btpcheater on May 18th, 2004, 12:14 pm
Well, Since someone has posted a poll about this, It made me wonder. It's going to be extreamly busy if people ready thier coupon books at roller coasters after dark. Many people and us on the forums will be there. How are they going to do this? Check everyones pass before entering a ride or what? That's the only way they can check. Hmm. Anyone have any thing on this?
Watch out theres a new Hurricane in Gurnee, IL!

My guess is they will check passes to get in que line. unless they clear out the whole park and reswipe all season passes at the gates (don't see that happining)

I will be there... I have already requested off work for those 3 days.

It would take far too long to get everybody out of the park, I think they will either check passes at the front of the queue line, or give away wristbands somewhere like guest relations.

I'm guessing they'll have an entire part of the park sealed off with a fence barrier or something at both ends of the selected area. Then once the park closes, you go to that area and ride the attractions in that area that they have open.

The big question is... what will be open?! Here's a few reasonable guesses.

For June, they'll obviously want to showcase their newst feat, Mardi Gras!

Mardi Gras/Orleans Place (S:UF, Ragin' Cajun, King Chaos)
Mardi Gras/Yankee Harbor (B:TR, V2, Ragin' Cajun)

For July and August, its all about the crowdpleasers

Southwest Territory (Raging Bull, Viper, Giant Drop)
West County Fair (Demon, Deja Vu)
North County Fair (Eagle, Iron Wolf, Revolution)
Yankee Harbor (B:TR, V2, East River Crawler)

I'm guessing they'll showcase S:UF and RC in June, Southwest Territory in July, and Yankee Harbor in August.

You MUST be in the park 30 min before closing. Im guessing when you enter the park at the SP entrance they will ask if you are staying for coasters after dark, then they will stamp you or give you a wristband and when enetering the queue they would look for the band or stamp.

Or maybe stop letting the GP in ride lines at 10pm and only let people who show their season pass in the lines. I don't see why six flags has to be stamping hands and giving wrist bands when anyone with a season pass allready has proof of that. I also don't see them closing off any part of the park. As I said above, the park wont be devoid of general public at 10pm, they will still even be in the lines, but once they cycle all the GP through the rides only season pass holders will remain. So don't look for these to be compleatly empty crazy ridefests, there will probably be some healthy crowds left.

I heard that all rides will be operating, and they will check your season passes to get on them after hours. It would be stupid to clear out the park and reswipe everyone back in because it will take some time to re-enter everyone.
