Yeah, I also was amused by that. Just another of Six Flags being cheap/lazy and not wanting to bother to fix the map...
Maybe they will even have the Pictorium building on the 2019 normal map next year.
1.) Steel Vengeance 2.) Iron Gwazi 3.) The Voyage 4.) El Toro 5.) Velocicoaster Ragin Cajun and Iron Wolf went from Six Flags Great America to Six Flags America. I guess they weren't GREAT anymore.
There are holes in the ground for footers for Maxx Force. You can see them while on Whizzer. There are also what look to be rebar cages near the construction trailer that is near Whizzer's break run. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any good pics so you guys will have to trust me on this.

Jiggidy has posted some construction pics from the park today. Gottastratta looked like those things you asked about are for the ride. Maybe the footers from the looks of it.
Maxx Force looks to be a great addition and I can't wait to come back to ride it next season. I see it being as popular as Goliath during its first one and a half seasons but then people realize its rather short. For whatever reason most just want a good wait to ride time ratio. With that being said Raging Bull is still very popular.
It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)

Which is the exact reason why Raging Bull is still my favorite ride here

Those cages for the footers were the things in was talking about. They are underneath Whizzer's break run just like I said.

But it has the trim brake that "ruins" the ride according to most on here! LOL
Raging Bull is close 2nd for me (behind X-Flight)
Single Day Ride Count Record

While the trim is a tad annoying, it does not ruin the ride experience at all. It’s still a great ride in my opinion!

I took a photo of the construction site for Maxx Force this past Friday and photoshopped in an image from my NL2 recreation of Maxx Force. I think the ride will look fantastic!

Quick question... since 2012.... has Six Flags purchased any Roller Coaster manufactured overseas? B&M, Premier, RMC, and S&S are all Manufactured in the United States and it seems that those Domestic manufacturers are the only ones that Six Flags works with anymore. Possibly to save on shipping costs, tariffs, etc.
Forgot to post this yesterday, but as I was driving by the backside of the park, I saw there was a semi-truck going into the Washington street entrance that had a ton of sheet metal rolled up in tubes. I was thinking that they might be for the foundation for Maxx Force's footers, but then again they could be for anything. Sorry that I couldn't get any pictures though.
They say there isn't a spot in the park where rusting metal or peeling paint is at least 15 feet away from you.

I wouldn't be surprised if the track ends up being for Maxx Force and the trains for Steel Curtain at Kennywood.

I did not see this personally but I believe Revcon Construction is on site drilling the caissons for the ride foundations. Those steel tubes would be the liners for the caissons they are drilling and pouring
