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

You would think Six Flags could flex it's muscle and stop accepting excuses about parts being delayed for the Triple Play and King Kaos. Hello, it's June the season is wasting away. On another note do you think Great America's Highway Sign will ever be lit coming from the South this year? And could they please light the Spike of Columbia it is a grand part of our Entrance. How would people feel if the Towers of Cinderella's Castle where left off? Outherwise parks looking great but the bugs are brutal at night!

Well it wouldn't matter if Cinderella's Castle wasn't lit because the whole castle lights up at night.

What excuse do you have for not being able to type the word "Rides?" Im pretty sure Great America is doing everything they possibly can to get all the rides running. Be thankful for what we've got so far.

From what I saw from King Chaos today it looks pretty mediocre, and LOUD. Sounds like Eagle or Viper after a thunderstorm with the screeching hopefully thats just a breaking in noise.

Yes, Ron, let's. You pay for a ticket for me to Switzerland and back, I'll go pick up the parts, and haul them back to the park.

GO GO TEAM EFFORT

Cycling.
It was running the same program every cycle so I assume they picked one, as I said, pretty mediocre. Barely any real drops it's all controlled (although there is one big one). At one point they lower you down slowly so it feels like your gonna just go around upside down then right before it unlocks and the car starts to swing looks like it ruins the whole point of that :roll: .

It does I think, but I don't remember seeing the cabin flip fully around. Then again I wasnt paying that much attention I was just watching it.

Yea they were testing it; The Person testing it was not from SFGAM. It appeared that he was from Huss. He kept on E-stopping the ride. I don’t know if he was building a program or maybe he was just testing it. But from his face expressions it appeared he was having problems with it.

Yeah, but wasn't KC already used before, and then sat in the HUSS lot for a few years before sf picked it up at a used ride sale or something like that. I know you never really know how reliable a used ride can be, but it's still a fact that they bought it used. Yeah it costed less than a new one would most likley be.

It kind of seems that they didn't let sf know that the ride sat for all that amount of time, or am I completely incorrect?

Im almost completly sure its never been used before, but rather it sat outside of a HUSS manufacturing plant after it closed.

Yea, it was never used. I heard something about that it sat at Huss lot for a few years because the people who they made it for could not come up with the money to buy it. So SFGAM purchased it at pretty good deal. Although I was told that some parts of the ride are new while others are the old ones that sat in the Huss lot.
