Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Me and my friends are having a debate.. and I need an opinion. I say the Whizzer's supports and track are dark green. I even showed them pictures and they say that it's not. Hmm.. what color is the Whizzer guys?

It is in 1000s of peices, but they are assembled, so stop complaining. You got what you want. :-P

Yay! Guess who just won a bet! Woo hoo.. dang, I shoulda bet money cause I KNEW it was dark green! One of them said it was purple which I thought was funny.. where the HECK do you get purple from? haha! Reminds me of Barney or something. And yes, I would agree, the Whizzer WOULD look better as beer cans and they can put a new ride in. If there isnt enough space for a new one, then they should leave it there! I guess it IS like a landmark at SFGAm.

Because they fail to see beyond themselves, and think it would be a good buisness move to remove it for a giant thrill coaster. Every park needs a good family ride, and Whizzer is the best of any park I've been to. Mine Ride at CP is too rough, Ripsaw at Camp Snoopy has too small of cars, Scorpion at BGT has a loop, that scares a lot of people away, and Pegasus at Big Chief is too rough to be considered a family coaster.Basically, for the park to make a good move after its removal, they will need to replace it, or another ride elsewhere in the park, with another family coaster. Quite frankly, there are no other family coasters in the world that can match its uniquness, capacity, and ammount of fun it provides. Sure, a wild mouse might be as fun, but it has low capacity. Sure, a new mine ride might have good capacity, but it isn't unique, and none that I've seen look as fun. That leaves us with Whizzer! The great green (once steel color) coaster that we all love and cherrish.

I have to agree.. I just personally don't like the Whizzer but it's true that this is a good coaster for kids to get started on and for a family to enjoy together so yeah, I say the Whizzer could be left alone. But I would definately replace it for a thrill ride, but that is in my opinion. There are also up sides to it that make it worth keeping. :)

This is from Sixflags.com on the section about Raging Bull:"Structure is wine-colored, track is orange, trains are bright teal, red and yellow with a bovine print motif and bull's horns" Someone whose ridden this ride 54 times this year.. (That being me :) ) I agree with thathttp://www.sfgamworld.com/albums/RagingBull/RagingBullChi001.jpghow is this so hard to see?

i saw that SAME picture and i think it looks yellow and so do some of my friends. either way, i'm ending this convo now becuase it's going to turn into a stupid argument about something that doesn't even matter. i started this topic to see about the whizzer, and then i asked about raging bull. i asked your opinion, and i have mine. it's not that it's HARD to see, i see yellow. Sorry.

Um, its actually possible that you have your monitors settings messed up. Resulting in the colors of the pictures looking different. Raging Bull is indeed Orange with Purple supports(call it whatever Crayola name you want, its a version of purple :) ).And if there is nothing wrong with your monitors settings, then I seriously suggest you and your friends all go to the eye doctor to get your eyes checked. You could be going color blind :).
Go Bulls!

I have better than perfect vision and my monitor is ok. But like I said, that's my opinion, you have yours. Let's just leave it at that.

And actually yes.. females don't go colorblind. It's a gene that females can only pass to males. I never thought about that. So since all of you are guys and I'm the girl, maybe YOU all see orange and I'M right! haha!! just kidding. ok ok, it's orange, happy? I don't really care anymore. The website on Six Flags says orange so we'll all go with that. Actually if you were colorblind you couldn't see any shade of red which includes orange so I guess that proves you guys aren't colorblind.
