I just got my SixFlags Great America 2006 Map and Guide

[CoasterDude12-2]

Was Turbo Bungy or Wall on the Map?

Yes, both were on the map at the same locations they were last year.

Speaking of park maps, don't be surprised if the huge maps that Six Flags parks used to sell in the old days makes a return this year. They were handing new ones out at Goliath media day @ SFoG (GREAT coaster, btw, and a great event..maybe one day I will post a TR ) and I heard rumors that they might be rolling them out again to all Six Flags parks. I hope this turns out to be true.

I have one of those maps from Cedar Point and I have always wanted to get one for Great America. I sure hope so.

If they were as cartoony and hard to read as a Cedar Point map, I'd burn it on my roof.

And the rails are still silver... so it must have been taken when the ride was newer.

Rails are still silver.

Just take a look at the OTSR's.

Old Intamin Trains anyone?

*Edit: Double post...my mistake*

[[jonrev]]

^No, the rails are now like a very dark grey color... at least they were when I rode it.


And yes, those are Intamin deathtraps... I mean... trains (at least they're not like Batman: The Escape's trains. Ive heard horror stories about them.)

[rct2wizard360]

It's a lot like BTR's rails when it had the old paint scheme.

It's only worn in certain places.

Ive had the brochure for a few weeks now...here's the cover/back of the brochure/park map for those who care:

Look at IW, doesnt look like it's facing the wrong way? It looks like the break section is going AGAINsT the peak instead of with it. I think that its going into the corckscrew or its coming out of the station. I'm not sure but it looks funny to me.

[CoasterDude12-2]

^

For those who haven't noticed, the Iron Wolf picture has been flipped horizontally.

[FParker185]

yeah, the brochure pic is mirror image, as coming off the lift on IW you take a turn to the left, in the pic the ride is to the right of the lift. They probably did that so the track which your eye will naturally follow runs right into the water park photo, simple mental way of advertising both parks effectively

[Trailblazer Tony]

^Well, actually, that same picture has been in past park maps and brochures, just not on the front from what i remember. I think it was the 2003 map that had it next to the Rides and Attractions page. Either way, they must have a different reason for reversing the picture.

I just picked up like 15 coupons for $15 off general addmision at baskin robbins.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

Who has the park map from 1999? Well if you do take a close look at the cover as they say its "Raging Bull" supposably. They used IW for the cover and changed the logo on the train to say RB. The picture on the park map cover for 1999 is the same on thats on the cover for this seasons. Their both IW but on the 1999 cover, it doesnt show the back ground, just the train going down the track. A year later for the 2000 season they used that same picture inside their park map. I got both of the park maps if you want to see them.

[[jonrev]]

Could you post them?

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

^ Ill try too. For Coasterdude 12-2, triple play is not operating this year but it MIGHT be back next year, I think there sending it to another SF parks but you can call Human Resources theyll tell you.

[[jonrev]]

^TP's center hub is at SFOT. At the end of the season, the part will be sent back here and TP will be re-assembled. Then SFOT's Trioka thing will get a new center hub.

That's what Ive heard will happen.

[FRD714]

I dont get why they had to put TP over there for a year.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

At least were getting it back and are we the only SF park that has a Triple Play style ride?

O and this is the regular picture of IW inside the Park Map for 2000 same as the one on 2006 cover. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/xxlatinogueroxx/d6de43b1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a>

And heres the Park Map cover for the 1999 season introducing Raging Bull, notice any similarities? They use the same exact picture just blur the train image to make it look like its going faster. But you can see the color of the peoples shirts are the same, same harnests, and same train. <img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/xxlatinogueroxx/d81b69d5.jpg" border="0" alt="Image hosting by Photobucket"></a>

Sorry for the bad quality pix

[FRD714]

^Wow, your right. Thats so bad.

[CoasterDude12-2]

I really wonder why SF thinks it's cheaper to photoshop other rides to make them look like our rides (ex. S:UF) than to just take a picture of the ride itself.

[[jonrev]]

LOL, Six Flags is lazy.

Thank you, I couldn't remember what year it was that had that on the inside.

Also, in regards to the question about why Six Flags uses photoshop instead of getting the photo, it's probably just a lazy issue. When i use photoshop, it's easier just to add a picture that is already on my file than to go out and snap a new picture, upload it, and then add it to the document. It's lame and lazy, but that is most likely why.

I got my season pass in the mail last week along with a brochure.

[Danhockey04]

Here is the park map to 2006, it has been uploaded to sixflags.com

You can see TP not on the map, Tornado in HH and they routed the parade on the map.

[coastercrazy]

Thanks for the map. I wonder if they are going to have the Triple Play area blocked off or open like it is on the map. Has anyone seen it lately.
