What SFGAm rides haven't you ridden yet?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Mr. SFGAm on May 4th, 2004, 5:04 pm
Not counting removed rides or upcharge attractions;
Stargate, TrailBlazer, River Rocker, Revolution, Logger's Run, kiddie spinning rides, Whirligig, (and Mardi Gras of course).

If this subject would have came up before last weekend, most of the flats would be included in this! :D
Finally Coaster Season!!

Deja Vu (it's either not running when I am there, or it has a long long wait time)
V2 (looking at it scares me..lol)
Z-Force (I was just barely tall enough to ride it, but was too scared, then the next season it was taken down) :cry:
Anything that costs extra money.
Any coasters that were taken out before 1989. (the year I was finally tall enough to ride most coasters)

(kinda off topic, BUT, are Tidal Wave and Rolling Thunder still running at other parks?) Someone who knows PM me so that this topic doesn't get locked!)

Question Is that where The Edge went? I always wondered if it went somewhere or got scraped. Also why is that type of drop ride not considered a coaster? :?:

Tidal Wave first went to Six Flags Over Georgia and ran there as Viper as of 2001. Then in 2003, it moved to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom as Greezed Lightning.
Rolling Thunder came here from Six Flags Great Adventure and left here in 1995 and went to Great Escape in New York and is still running as Alpine Bobsled.

The Edge now resides at Geauga Lake Park as Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

For purely historical note, The Edge went to Rocky Point Park in Rhode Island for several years til that park closed and the ride stood there for a few years til it was sold at auction and Premeir Parks (pre Six Flags) bought it and installed it at, then Geauga Lake as Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall.

It really is one of the worst 1'st Gen freefalls I've ridden, but I think it's because of alot of neglect it recieved when GAm literally tore it out of the ground and it arrived at Rocky Point with heavily damaged electrictcal system (electronics arrived in milk crates) and some footers still attached to supports. Then it stood at Rocky Point for a few years (right near the ocean to boot) with no care at all after it closed til PKS acquired it for some insanely cheap price and they probably never did much besides simply put it back together at Geauga Lake.

/\The Edge was located near King Choas, it was kind of next to it behind the fence, in the backstage area. The footers are still there if you go on the train and look down in the backstage area.

Now I have been on everything (excluding pay rides and past rides) except for Scenic Railway. I plan on riding it this Sunday to meet my goal of riding every ride at SFGAm before the season ends.

The ONLY "ride" I have never done is Daredevil Dive...simply because I refuse to pay so much extra for an attraction! And who needs to, with all of the wonderful rides our park has! :D
We should all remember to be thankful to have a world-class theme park like Six Flags Great America here in our local area!

I've got on every ride this year, and that was my goal, for both regualr season rides and fright fest converted rides. This is defiantly irrelevant, but the best Fright Fest ride is Terror Twister, 12 rides, they should have it all year round.

Where exactly? That's where Power Dive was.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
