Opening Day

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby FParker185 on February 2nd, 2014, 6:21 am
Password should be at least 8 characters long and must contain at least one lower case letter, one upper case letter, one number and one special character.

Dumbest rule of all time, and for a stupid amusement park benefits site, not like there's anything valuable in play. Also a comma, period and exclamation point apparently are not considered special characters, to much work for coupons that have no value what so ever.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

Agreed, the password is a huge pain in the ___. Seriously. How the hell am I supposed to come up with a password that I can actually remember.

I'm fine with a password containing one upper, one lower, and a number, but a special character too? I guess the easiest thing to do is use a password you know and just add a special character to the end of it.

^ That's what I did. I just used a password that already ended in a number, and then used the special character next to it so it would be easy to remember (like 2#, 3$, etc) I agree that the password rules are excessive and not really needed though.

Get a password locker app for your phone. I know Windows Phone has it, and I'd imagine iOS and Android do as well. Definitely one of the more useful apps that I can think of.

Not really Opening Day related but this is something that Six Flags posted on their twitter. I found it pretty funny. "Sorry folks, the park’s closed! The snow out front should've told ya. #sixflags #Chicago" Image

Would anyone advise on getting a flashpass on opening day. Is it packed opening day? I want to make sure I get to go on everything. Every time I leave this park theres always stuff that I didn't get to do simply because there wasn't enough time.

It tends to be fairly crowded because of the discounted tickets, but not as bad as June and July. It would make your life easier to get the fast pass, but if you get there at 1030, you will definitely be able to get one everything. I would advise you, if you don't have concrete plans yet, to go two weekends after opening when Goliath is open and there aren't crowds.

If your goal is to do a lot of riding, I wouldn't go opening day. If that's the only day that works, get a flash pass. Cheap tickets + reduced capacity = long lines.

How much was a regular Flass Pass for 1 person last year? Will the price be the same this year? Does the park still ask for a photo ID card to hold when trading for the Q-bot?

Plans have changed - New plan is to head to the park for a few hours on opening day, then return for a full day on Sunday where there will hopefully be lower crowds. See some of you I'm sure.

The fiance' is preventing me from going the first weekend :(

So Diamondback at KI got seatbelts. I know it's a totally different company, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them on Raging Bull.

I was also shocked when Superman: Ultimate Flight, Goliath, Full Throtle, Titan, and Iron Rattler got seatbelts because of on incident at New Texas Giant. So, it's still debatable.

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

I think with the seatbelts, it comes down to what the insurance companies dictate and not the choice of Six Flags.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

^^ If Raging Bull was going to get seatbelts, then Goliath and Nitro would be on your list. Whoever has the say wouldn't say that only one of the B&M hypers has to get seatbelts.

Ride Status has been updated as of today's Private Event.

X Flight is running 1 train. All other coasters are running 2 trains :D Eagle Blue is closed.

Logger's Run, Revolution, and Railroad are closed.

It is good to hear that other than X-Flight, every coaster is running two trains, so hopefully opening day this year will be better than years past. We all knew the railroad would be closed and I wonder if it will open with Goliath or hopefully sooner.
I also wonder if they have returned Hometown Square's plaza to its glory or if it will be used before the parade like the ignite set.
