If Maariot still owned the park, Demon would still have all that cool theming because marroit is a privatley owned company i think, if they were they could do whatever they wanted
Goodbye 11/9!
SFGAm will still have alot of the original stuff. But it would be mostly a family park, not that SFGAm isnt, but it wouldnt have huge rides. Well maybe one that would be huge and get a whole bunch of publicity.
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.
The majority of you that have posted responses to this topic were probably not even born when Marriott owned the park.
To the ones that said we wouldn't have the big coasters today if Marriott was running the show, have you not looked at Marriott's history on the Gurnee park? Turn of the Century was considered one of the most intense coasters when it opened in 1976. When it was converted to the Demon, it had the most inversions on a coaster at the time (4). Tidal Wave was the tallest steel coaster when it debuted (1978) and going backwards on a coaster was considered high tech thrills at the time. Then Marriott debuted the worlds tallest and fastest woodie in the world with the American Eagle in 1981 and also made it a double tracked coaster. I don't know about you guys, but Marriott was hip to the idea of world records and intense coasters in that era. If Marriott owned the park today, he would be dishing out the latest and greatest in coaster thrills. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Chtiown said it good.Maybe if Marriot still owned the park, we may have the TTD or the X coaster. Who knows?
Actually what I was saying is that Marriott would of brought roller coasters and everytime they would bring it it would be huge but you act like SFGAm doesnt have huge coasters.

I never was directing it in that way. Our park is B&M's History.
If it weren't for us, B&M would've never been as good as it is now. We really deserve some respect
Goodbye 11/9!
^ I know because if you like watch shows on discovery channel about rollercoastes they never mention us. When they say BTR they say the first inverted coaster but they dont say from SFGAm.

I ALREADY SAID THAT! YOU ********!
 !I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.
I know we don't get any credit whatsoever, not even for Bull, the first hyper-twister rollercoaster ever. But Magic Mountain gets credit for having "one of the first inverted coasters in the world" BTR. Our Batman was #1!
Goodbye 11/9!
I know I hear that batman thing all the time. I someone is doing a video on roller coasters they never take the time to go to sfgam and take a video on that.

You're bringing this up why, exactly???
Goodbye 11/9!
Well I don't know. Here, let me change that.

Please correct your grammar to make it human readable
Goodbye 11/9!
Okay, how 'bout I just bend to your avery whim.

I've also noticed that every other sf park in the chain gets more credit than GAm has ever had. Heck, I remember seeing Travel Channel specials on Elitch Gardens, World's of Adventure, and Wynadot Lake, but never any credit towards Great America.
It's not a bad thing, but in my opinion, Gam is in the top of the sf chain, you would think to get more publicity by advertising it on tv a bit more with a show, or at least giving credit to coasters that first appeared at GAm before any other park! (ie: Batman at GAm 1st, not sfmm, Shockwave was first Arrow Mega Looper, not Viper (mm) or gasm (Gadv)
Dude, you can get banned for not using proper grammar, how the hell are we supposed to know whta you mean? Goodbye 11/9!
You'd think that chicago being a tourist spot there would be more publicity. Magic Mountain isn't as good as everyone makes it to be. I want the sfgam survivor to be held every July and August.
ENOUGH!!!!!
Take your bickering off the message boards and contact eachother if you want to argue. Stop wasting Dave's bandwidth and get back on topic. Let the moderators do the moderating. I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Chill Out people!! Don't get my topic locked!
I think that Mariott would do about the same job that Six Flags Great America is doing. They have a lot of things themed. Maybe, not everything in the park is themed perfectly, but who cares. Old rides have to go sooner or later because people don't like them as they used to. Everytime a new ride comes, people flock to that ride, and other rides get less of a line then they did before.
Enthusiasts want new rides built every year, and the GP wouldn't mind something different once in awhile. Mariott seemed like a good place, but it's not the end all of the earth if we can't have them anymore. "I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
 *goes and looks for the Batman Thread Ressurection picture*
Why are these year old topics being brought back?
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!
Someone is obviously bored and has nothing better to do...
wow. thats all i have to say
