Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
I've never ridden Logger's run. I've never been into flumes. Is it good or do you suggest Yankee Clipper more?

Nope. I had a bad experience at kiddieland when I was 6 and ever since then, I never rode a flume.

Actually Kiddielands flume is quite a bit better than either flume at SFGAm. All the OD Hopkins Flume Rides have awesome drops.

RideTek is a new company, their first coaster is being installed this year at one of the tivoli parks in Denmark. They are Italian though, says it all.

Just wondering, what was Deja's ride capacity like? That new Ridetek is longer then Deja so capacity would be less. I agree with Demon 07, we can't replace Deja Vu with another inverted boomerang. We need something new.

Deja Vu's capacity was anywhere from 350-500 riders per hour depending on the crew.

How long has that place been vacant? Also, is that where they used to have the dolphin shows?

While parts were an issue for Sky Whirl, the main reason they had to remove it was due to a cracked main bearing, in which to replace they would have had to disassemble the entire ride to get to it, then reassemble it. It just wasn't cost effective.
Intamin does still offer Triple Ferris Wheel for sale in their catalog, though not sure who'd make it if someone happened to buy one.

It's not vacant. That theatre is used for special events. And yes, that is where they held dolphin shows along with high diving shows.
