BTW, after reading the March 24th Construction update again, I am led to believe that all slide pieces aren't actually on site. Terry Pearsall says that there is 9,000 of slide pieces on property and that there will be 10,500 feet of slides total.

I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

I noticed they were putting most of the waterslides up. They look like they're tall.

More slide pieces have gone up for Hurricane Mountain, A lot more supports have gone up in Skull Island, and some of the bottom slide pieces for Wahoo Racers are in.

Things are looking good. :D

Congrats to SFGAm for getting Hurricane Harbor. :D :D :D I haven't been to this park since 1999, but the park has awesome attractions. Hopefully I can visit again so i can ride Raging Bull, Deja Vu, Superman Ultimate Flight, American Eagle, and V2. Those are the rides i missed.

SF America (my homepark) is also getting Hurricane Harbor. It's transforming from Paradise Island into Hurricane Harbor. It won't be as big as SFGAm version but it will be new and as good as SFGAm. Too bad yaw not getting Tornado, maybe next year. I hope to visit HH in Chicago this year so i can compare it with my homepark.

Congrats SFGAm!!!!!! :D :D :D
I don't know ALL the Facts!!!!!! :wink:

It looks like supports are up for Bahama Mama and Bubba Tubba. As well as more for Skull Island and Wahoo racers.

I drove by the park and today and had a peak at what's going on. You can see a lot more of Hurricane Mountian from I-94 then you can from the webcam, it's looking great. You can also clearly see that most (if not all) of the supports are up. You can also see the Skull mountain Bucket already perched above the rest. I'm really excited for SFHH!

It looks funny in the web came seeing the bucket like the only thing up there. I thought that they had 2 buskets though.

Why wouldn't it be? The waterpark opens real soon.

BTW, I was reading at Sfgamplanet.com that tubes are not going to be available at the slides and that they will need to be rented to go one slides and for the wave pool and lazy river. I know that this is very stupid, but they(sfgamplanet) seemed to confirm it. :?:

I know what you mean, I frequent the website which has obviously been removed from your post so I won't post it either. and if you read my post I said that I didn't think even six flags would be that stupid...then I read the brochoure, and it does! You have to rent tubes for the slides! That will just be stupid.

Also: You can see the Bahama Mama and Bubba tubba are going up! I can't wait for april 30th.
