I only go to Great America once a year (hard to believe) and I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with Giant Drop?

I bet you it was a budget cut. The other ones are just dead, or they just can't open them. Space Shuttle America is probably another budget cut.

Speaking of Hellevator, besides a sign change, what else would they do to GD for Fright Fest?
