Actually, I don't see where you are talking about... Unless they fixed it... It's right on the site...

by **coasterzak** on February 6th, 2003, 4:24 pm

Well then they must have changed it, it was misspelled at about 3 yesterday afternoon and it was really funny...

BMCOASTER said he went to the park a said the first drop is complete and he might go tomarrow to get pics!

by **upsidedowner** on February 8th, 2003, 11:36 pm

Yeah the first drop is complete. I went today to get some pics. I'll try to have them up right away.

by **coasterzak** on February 8th, 2003, 11:53 pm

That's awesome! What other parts of the coaster are up already?

by **coasterguy** on February 8th, 2003, 11:55 pm

by **upsidedowner** on February 9th, 2003, 12:04 am

Great Pics Thanks Alot For A The Update!

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on February 9th, 2003, 9:18 am

Awesome pictures! It's great to see progress picking up!

by **coasterzak** on February 9th, 2003, 12:05 pm

Those pictures are outstanding! It really is starting to take some shape. Hope the weather will let up some time soon and winter will start to back off because it must be much harder to work in the cold and snow.

by **coastrcorey** on February 9th, 2003, 1:10 pm

If you look at the ground, there is no snow so I don't think that's a problem... It's probably a bit chilly though... Those are some excellent pictures, it's starting to look like a real coaster now!

by **joker** on February 9th, 2003, 3:08 pm

wow! I never seen better pictures then those.

by **coasterzak** on February 9th, 2003, 6:21 pm

Well where I live there is about 4 inches of snow on the ground constantly and I think I may actually be a little bit south from SFGAm so I thought maybe the park would have that same amount of snow if not more. This is one winter that the snow has not let up and there is always snow on the ground. This is right after last winter where some of the days I had shorts on.

Yep , those are good pics upsidedowner.To anyone that hasnt seen it in person, you are in for a treat. Alot of people were saying that Shockwaves hill being gone would ruin the skyline for the park, BUT, I just saw this new monster tonight and I must say it complements the skyline very nicely.It actually looks taller than the stats show.

by **CoasterDave316** on February 9th, 2003, 11:56 pm

I was surprised at how well it filled the skyline.After looking at the construction pics of S:UF at SFGAdv, you could almost compare SFGAm's old skyline with the new skyline between GASM and S:UF right next to each other.Did everyone get what I meant above, kinda hard to explain lol. :roll:

http://groups.msn.com/SixFlagsGreatAmer ... oID=2Check out the top of Sky Trek Tower in this picture... What's up with the thing sticking out of the top of it? Maybe it's just a picture flaw of some sort...

by **DejaVuGurl1203** on February 10th, 2003, 7:23 pm

I think thats just the flag. I could be wrong though. Because there is a flag on top of Sky Trek Tower.

by **Chitown** on February 10th, 2003, 7:27 pm

During the winter season they replace the flag with a christmas tree shaped lighting structure. At night, its lit up with red, white , and blue lights.

And the pretzel loop begins.http://groups.msn.com/SFGAM2003Construc ... snw?Page=4

by **coasterzak** on February 11th, 2003, 4:36 pm

Wow, I am so very very excited. How many of you have actually seen the construction with your very own eyes?

by **CoasterDave316** on February 11th, 2003, 4:39 pm

I saw construction with my very own eyes when just the lift supports and station were up. Its almost about time I go and see the construction again. Ill probally go up there before the end of February and try to get an update for this site. Last time I took pics they didn't turn out good because of the sun and I couldn't post them, hopefully I have better luck next time.

by **Blinkcoaster** on February 11th, 2003, 5:03 pm

Great pictures. Yes i have actully seen the construction happen

by **joker** on February 11th, 2003, 5:10 pm

god I really want to go up there and take pictures for my self lol, and post them

by **coasterzak** on February 11th, 2003, 5:14 pm

When I travelled through in November I saw what was left of Shockwave. That is all that I have seen. I was heading to Kenosha Wisconsin for a cross country meet and we stopped in town at Gurnee for some more ice and for potty breaks. I really want to see this stuff... Keep the pictures coming!

by **coastrcorey** on February 11th, 2003, 5:42 pm

Awesome! I wish our >>--CC--> team would travel through Gurnee!
