Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.
And who am I? What does that have anything to do with what I said?
And admission prices? where did that come from. I'm confused.

"Who are you?"

I think that would have been better said as "where have you been?" as I assume twixmix knew that you should have known that already.

No No No, they are doing the underground pipes above ground and straight up :wink:

Yeah, today supports have REALLY gone up. I wonder if once they get this new slide complex up (closest to the camera) if that will really block our view of everything else.

I don't think the slides in the foreground will block any views. It looks like that redish dirt area they are working in in the center is the Skull Island area.

It isnt that hard to put supports up. All you do is life a piece of metal into place and secure it with some bolts. Snow wont slow them down much until it starts major accumulations.

Also, I see a crane behind the wavepool where it looks like they are starting more vertical construction.

The red dirt is where skull island is. I think the red dirt is either a clay substance (liner) or its masonary sand.

No matter what there were no supports earlier so that is an improvment to me.

They have started some buildings now too. I drove by the park on saturday, and you can see some of them from the highway.

I called the six flags info line a few days ago, and it said that HH should open up around May 28th. Does anyone think that HH will acutally open by then??? I'm a bit unsure, but if they work hard then it'll happen. Unfortunetly, I won't be able to go on opening day if that's the real opening day, because I'll be graduating that day :?

There's another topic about it: http://www.sfgamworld.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3193
Discuss what you think there. I already posted that I think it will be open.

Do you guys think after the waterpark is built, will they add to it in the next few years? Also, is there anyway they could build a water coaster there?

The vertical construction looks to be coming along pretty well. I can't wait to see actual waterslide sections up on some supports.

I think that all they'll add is a Proslide Tornado. I don't think they would use up their room for a water coaster.

It would probably we something like: A tornado lands in SFGAM. And then they would probably add something to the main park (hopefully a coaster) and then they would be able to say that they are adding onto the new park and still keeping the old park in good shape by adding a ride/ coaster.

I'm guessing that there'll be small addition next year but then a tornado is almost definatly coming.
And just to clarify, because it's happened to me before, I don't want to start any rumors. None of what I just said is based on any kind of fact!

Ok, I have got a question. Lets say when I as out making my deleveries, I had to make a u-turn at Great America, and I just happen to have my camera with me. How far in would I be able to go to "turn around". Would I get close enough to take some snap shots?

you'd be able to drive up to the yellow gates at the stop light that is never used. if no security is around and you want to risk it, you can get out and walk on the property too, but that's tresspassing. if you're talking about the Washington St. entrance, then I don't know, but I think there's almost no area to turn around over there.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Don't even try doing that, it really isn't a good idea.

It all depends on where they have the gates on the Washington Street side, but to get pics from there you'd at least have to get to where American Eagle crosses over the road. But I'm pretty sure the gates won't let you get that far.
