They have a sign outside in the main entrance to tell you which rides are going to be closed. Usually they dont know what ride will be closed on certain days. They do test runs every morning before the park opens and if something goes wrong then they would close it down and try to fix the problem as soon as possible. So technically they dont know what will happen to a ride so they cannot tell you what rides are going to be closed on the day you visit.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

I've also heard horror stories about Great Adventure having about half their rides closed one day. Great America is by far the best run park in the chain. They do whatever they can to get all rides running ASAP. =)

V2 and Splashwater Falls, which was bad since it was really hot. Also, it took longer than usual for Batman to open.

Correct me if i'm wrong cause I don't go to six flags everyday but had Raging Bull been closed at any time for a whole day. I never seen it closed and if you have seen it closed, what was the reason for. That ride is like the only ride reliable to open everyday.

I remember going on a day last year when Bull didn't open until 4 or 5 in the evening. It was horrible because it made the rest of the park packed. If I remember correctly, they were having issues with the trains stopping on the mid-course and lift hill.

V2 was the only ride closed the last time I went but a lot of the coasters opened late. (Batman, Eagle, Deja Vu opened around 12:00 or later.)

That was the day that I waited a little over 4 hours for Raging Bull. The thing was I heard the rest of the park was so busy that day that I probably had a better time waiting for Bull. Got to know the greeter and just had a really good time with friends and the test chair.

Today, V2 was obviously closed, and I saw Deja Vu valley in the morning. Around 1 they had the train back in the station and it tested, but I'm not sure if it opened.
