Brief TR, Sat. Sept. 18, Hurricane Harbor

[Chitown]

Not into TR's for SFGAm anymore but I will give a brief update of the HH findings.

Huge billboard signs showing the map and brief descriptions of the new park are posted near the tollgates, along the fence of the Go-Karts, in front of Revolution, and most notably, the display of the park between Grand Music Hall and the Fastlane center.

Pretty nice display in this building with a tropical centerpiece showcasing what the theming will be along with some flat screen TV's showing other SF waterparks and big displays of the Skull Island along with an aerial view of the amusement park attaching an aminated view of the waterpark butting up against it. By the animation, it looks like the entrance for the waterpark for people that want to visit from the amusement park will be behind SSA.

They also had fake tropical plants outside and a huge raft along with Carribean music to add to the effect.

Part of the overflow lot is done and they were parking cars in that area.

Not much else to note.

It's going to be a great season in 2005 for the Chicago Six Flags park.

Hopefully the drop-off point will be redone with the parking lot improvements. That area is just an accident waiting to happen.

I can see the whole lot getting a makeover. You have to remember that the bus lot is being moved near Superman, so anything can happen.

I went to the parl om 9/19/04 and after 1100am it was very busy.
I went to the HH preview center and a female employee mentioned that they are only going to sell a limited amount of combo season passes next yr(no number was mentioned but she said in the next week or two info will come out for prices). SO this is a heads up and i dont know if anyone else was told something similar

[sixflagsguy5]

I heard that there are combo passes and seperate season passes for each. I'm getting a combo pass.

I want to get a combo. But it's very expensive. Don't think I'll be able to afford it.

I went to the parl om 9/19/04 and after 1100am it was very busy.

My cousin and i got on raging bull 7 times within the first hour though. After that it got a little bit busier.

Anyways HH will be a great addition. I'm trying to figure out if a combo pass is worth it. Because i really don't like swimming, but waterparks are cool. I'll probably get a combined pass this year and see if i like it.
