Tribune Article

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby shocker on July 10th, 2006, 11:27 pm
On the front page of the Tribune today there is an article about SFGAm and the Lost & Found Staff. It is a positive write-up, explaining how the staff goes above and beyond to return lost items.

It's in the lower right corner but I assume one could find it on the internet.

Kind of funny article. The best one has to be.........

Recently, a Mundelein man reported losing his top denture while riding the Iron Wolf roller coaster. It has not yet been found.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

You'd be surprised what people loose on the rides..its always the best in november cleaning out the ride areas, you find the most random things.

There was an article a couple of years ago about SFGAm where someone lost an artificial leg on Raging Bull, I believe.

Something like that happened on Turn of the Century too. I think it was an artificial arm.

I was very impressed last season.

My friend lost her cell phone while riding AE 2 days before closing. I told her to go to lost and found and fill out a sheet because it was so near to the end of the season, 4 days later it was express mailed to her house.

Way to go Six Flags.

You might want the cell phone back because it might have a little chip that is in it?? My brother has a phone that has a small chip in the cell phone. This might cost a lot of money.

My friend lost her cell phone on Bull last year, but she never got it back. I don't think she ever told the park that she lost it, though. Blondes.... :roll: :lol:

Throughout the years both me and my husband have lost our wallets at SFGAM and both times they were returned. I lost mine in the walkways somewhere and when it was returned to me it stated that it was found by ? ( I forgot his name ) in maintence and all of my cash was still in the wallet. I was so impressed that I wrote a letter to the park! He could have very easily taken that cash out and said that there was no cash in it when he found it. My husband lost his wallet on Iron Wolf and it was found 4 days later but with no cash inside. Oh well.. I do understand that it was our fault and we were just thankfull to have it back with all of the credit cards and personal info.

Everyone I know that has lost something there has gotten it back. They sure ask a lot of questions about what you lost though. But of course that's a good thing because they're just really making sure it's yours.
