Yankee Clipper

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

We all know that SFGAm no longer sells Ice Mountain and someone stated that on the train the recording skips saying IMS when it passes the flumes. Without a dobut IMS is getting a name change. What do you think it'll be?

I think it's going back to Yankee Clipper.

It would make sense to go back to Yankee Clipper, but it still might be called IMS.

Because people have said that they switched to some other water.

Six Flags was selling Ice Mountain still when I was there for the condor event.

If they stopped selling Ice Mountain Spring Water then I would assume they would switch to Dasani since coke owns Dasani.

Yes, they sell Zodiac Water, now. But they also are still selling Ice Mountain, because they have a huge Warehouse-sized room of it, and they need to get rid of it somehow. But the train doesn't skip over IMS, It just doens't mention it at al. The line is "As we round the curve, you will notice out flume rides, including Loggers Run" So someone messed up when they said that. It'll probably be IMS just because SF is too lazy to change it.

I'm assuing Ice Mountain's parent company paid alot of $$$ to have Yankee Clipper along with all the other SF log flumes renamed, so reguardless of what water the parks sell, the names will likely remain the same until that contract is up (unless it was a forever sort of deal)

Ice Mountain's parent company is Coke. which is why they started selling Ice Mountain in the first place. they already had a contract with Coke so it wouldn't be all that hard to get water from them as well. if they got new water, then they made the right choice. Ice Mountain tastes disgusting. what will become of the Clipper, I don't know. if they change the name it'll probably go back to Yankee Clipper, but I'd guess that Coke paid a lot of money to have the name changed for a certain amount of time (ie 5 years, 10 years, etc.).

No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Thats a good source Binks Drake. How did you find out? I thought Dasani was Coca Cola not Ice Mountain. Hopefully the name does change back to Yankee Clipper ( they just want more money ).

However, if you look at coolers inside food places, you will notice that they keep bottles of water in a cooler that states Ice Mountain. Those cost a lot of money so are they going to get other ones or sell them?

actually, I think you're right about Dasani. would Coke bottle two different waters? damn, I'm really confused now.

Please change the name back to Yankee Clipper! Lose the stupid Ice Mountain advertisement!

Ice Mountain Water is owned by Nestle Waters, Which has a contact for all of Six Flags to uses there Waters. They have different brand names in different markets. I don't think the contract is up yet. So you will still See Ice Mountain Water.

Dasani water tastes like lead. Ice Mountain is way better.

I could've swore this was a topic on Yankee Clipper not on which bottle of water tastes better.
