Quene TV's

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby [jonrev] on September 2nd, 2005, 7:00 pm
Why hasn't Great America installed quene TV's on their newer rides. The only ones I can think of that have them are Demon, Whizzer, Roaring Rapids, IMS, Superman (only in old quene from Shockwave), Triple Play, Loggers Run and Iron Wolf (probably used when Z Force was there).

the house part is Shockwave's old queue house.

After Iron Wolf was built (or maybe Iron Wolf does use Z-Force's old TV's) the "TV's in the queue line" fad went away.

Superman:Ultimate Flight
Ice Mountain Splash
Logger's Run
Splash Water Falls
Roaring Rapids
Whizzer
Demon
Iron Wolf
Triple Play
East River Crawler
Fiddler's Fling
Sky Trek Tower
American Eagle (In the tent)
Scenic Railway
Orbit
Rue Le Dodge

Those are the rides that do have Tvs in them.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

A line in which you wait in for a coaster or attraction.

It doesn't matter to me, I can never hear the tvs, and when the sun is bright you can bearly see what's on them, either.

Iron Wolf probably uses much of Z's old quene. I have noticed some blue paint on the fences in the quene from people picking at the paint.

^(or que) The Orbit's tvs don't work anymore. Tvs are fun when there is nothing else to do in line.

I never saw TV's in Orbit.

Batman has them too, but they're in the station and used to show Batman stuff and an animation of Batman-Dark Knight. Both of them don't work now.

BTW, What are the titles of the music played in Batman's quene?

Some of the places I can hear them while other places I can't. I hear more than I don't though. They are not really the parks priority.

In the outside line of B:TR near the ERC has tv's in line and thats probly the last ride that got tvs in line. I hate it when they show old music videos though, they should just show Looney Tunes Cartoons. Those are good for all ages.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

Really? I thought they built a new station.

^ Time for some definitions:

Station: (noun) Builing in which riders enter and exit the trains.

Queue House: (noun) Building or structure in which guests wait in line, usually containing switchbacks. May or may not provide shelter from the weather.

The part that is from Shockwave is the area covered with the yellow tarps for the ceiling. The stairs in the middle towards the beginning were also part of Shockwave's old queue. The queue in that part was a bridge over a service road then into the station.

for a few posts up, Iron Wolf does use Z-Forces queue. And I believe it's the same station also, though I will have to check the photos to be sure (the Z-force foters under the station seem to be a giveaway)
