Can you say, Hurricane Harbor?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby SFGAm Rules on August 12th, 2004, 11:18 am
I once again tried to ask SF to get any information last night. It was about 12:15. Almost every ride was shut down for the night, but there was still a good amount of people coming out. Guest Relations was closed but there were two employees standing in front of it. I told them "Hi, I was listening to the investors conference call and heard about the new water park that it coming next year. Do you know any more about that?" They obviously knew what I was talking about. One gave a half smile, and one said, with his teeth together, only moving his lips, "Well, um, we don't know anything, um, about a new attraction for 2005. Um, well, um, keep reading those papers and hopefully you can see what is coming next year." Then all of the sudden, he realizes what he "is programmed" to say. "Noting is finalized yet! Hopefully we will see a exciting new attraction next year!" In other words, he knew the details, but he was trained to give all of us this junk about how he doesn’t know anything.

O thanks for letting me know on a buisiness park and to Woodland dont start any fights with me because then Im the one that gets kicked out for some odd reason.

They need to build a parking garage in the second lot because like the area they are talkin up means less people to park...more room inside.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

Does anyone know how much a waterslide would cost (4, 5 or more digits)?

Yeah, I would expect to see something pretty special for 35 million dollars. Sfmm's hurricane Harbor only costed 13 million.

I did some research and found some pretty nice waterparks. The most expensive one I found was one that was being built for 28 million. (I wish I could find a link right now.)

Hey maybe what I said before might be coming true. We might be getting a roller coaster for the water park. Like a roller soaker, or a water based ride other than a slide. But most of the six flags water parks it sounded like were made in a parking lot. All the land is level. The reason why this one is so expensive might be because they need to level off all the land. Just a guess :roll:

How about a Penguin's Blizzard River like they have at SFA. It could be viewed as a water slide or a normal water ride.

I think that the two parks for one-ticket water parks are called "Paradise Island". If I remember correctly, both SFA and SFNE have waterparks with that name.

Well they definatly need to repave all of ther parking lot (if that's where they actually put it) and there might be some landscaping involved.

i agree on the fact that they will build the water park on the other side of the highways because they have been clearing the land for a while now

That would be true a year or so ago (and when they were talking about the entertainment village), but they don't have any land on the other side of the highway anymore.

^It's NOT going to be there, Six Flags does not own the land, and there have been surveyor's behind Viper in the Bus lot.

This is crazy.

A business park is a place with a bunch of offices and warehouses. There is already one next to that land called the Grand Tri-State.

No, it's a place where businesses are located with offices (not retail stores, or restaurants).

What is a Masterblaster and a Tornado proslide.

Waterslides can be a pretty hefty price. The newer ride at Noah's Ark called the Stingray is said to have costed a million dollars.
http://www.noahsarkwaterpark.com/media/stingray.htm

I don't think SFGAm is going to get another rollercoaster. I'm sure they would have told the investors about that. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we do get that Penguin's Blizzard slide.

Master Blaster's a tube slide that also can go up mid course (similar to a coaster) due to some sort of mechingnisms on the slide, never really learned how that works.
Tornado is a slide into a giant funnell.
