What's going on?

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

For the times I've been to the park this year, Fiddler's Fling has been closed during periods of times. Supposedly, they rehabed this ride (maybe only painted it??), so what is going on? Have you guys/girls seen it break down this year? Last year, I saw it break down once. Its a flat, not a rollercoaster. Flats, realistically shouldn't have terrible problems.

Maybe when you went they had staffing issues? I don't think that it's had any problems though.

It was open everytime I passed it on Sunday. Never noticed anything wrong with it.

Staffing may be the problem. I've never seen it closed, but SFGAm was severley understaffed on Friday, leading to the closure of around half the rides.

I have only seen it closed a few times only on weekdays, which other rides were closed too. I have seen it having a good year so far, like most of the other flats (except King Chaos).

One weekend that I went they had it closed but it looked like they were training a bunch of people to operate it so maybe it was a staffing issue? It's been open the past few times that I have gone now :D

Theres nothing wrong with it. It has just gotten the short end of the staffing stick.


End of story.

It wasn't a staffing problem either of the times I've seen it down. There was a person outside the line those times. I've also have seen mechanics working. Maybe, I'm just cursed with that ride. I get off IW, and its been broke on more than one occasion. Its been maybe three times already for me at least (mechanics working).
