No its not, did you ever notice before SFGAm got the new paint job on the demon there was chipped red paint. Also the bottom of the page said Gurnee, Illinois
Good photos. It's too bad there are no sound effects or videos except the commercials.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
It does go vertical.
I never knew it had a red corkscrew but it didnt originally. Look at some pictures of it and the corkscrews are all white. R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07
^- Look at that same picture of the red corkscrew. In the background, the ramp leading up into the MCBR is still silver. I think that just the corkscrews were red, unless they were in the process of repainting the entire thing when that picture was taken.
Finally Coaster Season!!
No the entire ride was red.
The site in updated with pictures of Fiddlers Fling

The site has updated again with a cool video commercial for a 1982 season pass. The price was 40$ back then. Man its doubled since then...
Yeah, but the overall greatness of the park has probably tripled since then 
I love that web site. I think it's cool to see how much the park has evolved.
Today the Yukon Yahoo(Delta Flyer) has been added.

Just remember that they RENAMED this ride the Delta Flyer after the real Delta Flyer (skyride) was removed.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!
Was this ride ever in County Fair at SFGAm under the name of Industrial Revolution, or was that a different flat ride? Great America Parks doesn't mention it if it was.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the exact spots in Yukon and Orleans where this ride stood? R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
Yukon Yahoo was about where the entrance to Looney Tunes Nat. Park. is now, and then when it moved to Orleans Place it was where Condor is now.
Finally Coaster Season!!
Thanks. R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.

I know but I felt like putting Delta Flyer so people could have a better idea of what I was talking about. R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07
I have to say though those videos on the site were so much fun to watch. It was great to see what SFGAM was like way before I was born. I showed my mom the one from 1978 and she actually remembered it.
2010 is going to be one to remember forever!!
As you can see on this map guide from 1984, they were different rides.
New Update: Columbia Carousel ... http://www.GreatAmericaParks.com/
I declare today official bringing back really old topics day.

Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
If you look at the picture of the midway, it seems 3 times as crowded as it usually is these days.
Well, back in the day SFGAm (MGA actually), got about 33% more people annually then they get today (with far fewer rides, must have been hell)
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073
In case any of you are interested the site was updated yesterday with Columbia Carousel.
R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07
Yeah, it does look that way. It must have been crazy since they didn't have as many rides as they do now. The pictures of Columbia Carousel look really neat. I especially like the ones with the fireworks.
