Does anybody know what's happening with Condor? The last I saw there was a sign saying Opening Spring 2005. I was there a couple of weeks ago in June. Thanks

I can't say I know. It be SBNO until the opening of the 2006 season, but I doubt that. I also doubt more the possibility of removal.

It's not going to be removed they just refurbished the thing, it should be opening soon since it looks like it is almost ready to go.

A few parts didn't arrive in time, then had to be sent back to HUSS, etc..

It is finished and is waiting for its inspection.

I saw it testing while I was working(One of my rides is Rue Le Dodge so I get an ok view of Condor.). It looked like it ran pretty nicely.
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

It's funny as posting on a msg board/newsgroup is grounds for termination at Six Flags.

Ditto what she said....if all goes well, I will be at the park sometime in August....keep your fingers xed for me. I am craving some serious airtime! I'll most likely be going with some serious adrenaline junkies, so it should be a great time. Hmmmm....us, Pepsi, M & Ms and adrenaline...a dangerous combo if I know me. Hopefully Condor will be up and around by then for sure.... :P :D 8)
