This was in the tribune this weekend, and I was shocked to see shockwave on the cover. I scanned it for you all to see. If you want to get one for yourself, it is in todays Tribune.http://members.aol.com/crabtreesbus/SFGAm/00001.jpg http://members.aol.com/crabtreesbus/SFGAm/00002.jpgIn the second picture, does anyone know what coaster that is? It's not American Eagle and it isnt Viper. Its not AE b/c the trains dont have big pads on the sides and big headrests. It isnt viper b/c it isnt the correct train type and it is red. Anyone know what it may be?

where in the tribune???

by **chiatrain** on April 26th, 2003, 8:19 pm

It's a pullout in the Tribune. I'm not sure what that coaster is as well. If I had to guess, I'd say AE. Maybe it isn't even a coaster at GAm but use it to advertise the park. I'm sure others may help.

I dont think the coaster is a GAm, I think it may be the white dueling coaster at SFMM. I dont know what exactly it is called though.

Collosus, or however it's spelled. Yeah seeing that Shockwave pic is like a stab to the heart...Enough crying now, S:UF should be on the cover!

Weird... But, you know how Six Flags always switches the pictures of parks.

ok.....i never found a pullout from the newspaper....is it the chicago tribune??? if it isnt, thats why.....if it is, do you get the first or final draft of the newspaper?

by **Aero737** on April 27th, 2003, 5:23 pm

it was in the center pull out for the chicago tribune. It was the final printing for the west suburbs. It was in a little bag with all the adds and TVGuide.

alrighty then!

My mom found that in the tribune today and gave it to me. I looked through the whole thing. Seeing Shockwave on the cover is sad.

Oh well it's cool seeing pictures of former rides. If you really miss it that bad go visit one of its siblings at SFGAdv or even SFMM. SW may be up and running in the future, or maybe not.

Yeah, it's true... Shockwave could still potentially end up at a different park. I think it would be a waste of a good coaster if it doesn't end up at another park.

its not in our newspaper!!!! ahhhh!!!! :cry:

by **Aero737** on April 27th, 2003, 10:14 pm

i guess it wasnt in all of them. My friend never got one either. Buy you didnt miss much, It never went into any detail about the park. All it had was 1 sentence mentioning it.
