Other than on the central hub of the Orbit, where else is the old GAm logo? Does anyone know?

Doesn't the train still sport the old logo on the side of every bench seat?
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

that was the old Six Flags logo on the train, and they ground those off last year, He means the original Great America logo with the star in the center and all red white and blue.

As far as I know Center of Orbit is the only example of that logo in the park (used to be 3 of them on Sky Whirl, one on each arm) :)

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Why did they have to grind off the old logo on the train? They could've preserved it for years to come. Why fix what isn't broke?

I do remember there being 3 of them on the central hubs on Sky Whirl, but those were changed to SFGAm logos in later years. Does anyone have pics of the old SFGAm logo on the trains?

^ Sky Whirl had the Marriott's Great America logos until 2000. In 2000, they were changed to the SFGAm 25th anniversary logos

Sky Whirl was removed in the 2000/2001 offseason and was replaced by Deja Vu.

You got that right. I was suprised the answer wasn't screamed to me by 10 people repeating each other telling me how stupid I am.

Not Sure. But it is on the loggers boats. It says six Flags But still has the red and blue Great America with the star from the marriot days.

The old Marriotts logo was never cast onto the side of the train. It was just a decal that was applied. New stickers have replaced them.

Clipper boats had a sign on the fron that read "Marriotts Great America" but they were easily removed. A few still exist but most were thrown out. The Loggers boats had that actually worked into the fiberglass of the boat. When the park was sold "Marriotts" was filled in. You can still see some of the letters that were filled in if you look closely.

Other than that, there is'nt much left. Just the Orbit, and the railroad locomotives. There isn't a logo on them, but they retain the original spelling of the ride, "Great America Scenic Railway" rather than the official title on the spiel "Six Flags Scenic Railway"
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!
