Favorite element on a SFGAm coaster

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Mr. SFGAm on July 10th, 2003, 8:02 pm
Instead of having one favorite element, I have a favorite on each coaster.American Eagle- The Big HelixBatman- The upward helix after the second vertical loop.Demon- First DropRaging Bull- First drop all the way! :DViper- Double DownWhizzer- Ground hugging curveV2- The initial launchIron Wolf- The whole section from the top of the lift to the fake midcourse brake straight away. I love the twisting ups and downs!Superman- Pretzel LoopDeja Vu- None, haven't ridden it yet! :evil:
Finally Coaster Season!!

Thats because only losers ride kiddie coasters... Well, unless they are with... a kid! If you are riding alone, in my opinion you deserve wuss branded to your forehead, even if the ride is empty besides you. Thats just my opinion, though. I still have to wait 4 or 5 years before I can ride it. :lol: That is definitally a pro of having a neice.

I haven't ridden it myself since 2000, becasue I had no little kids in my group with me. Though that will change this year, when I go to the park with my moms friends :P. I acua;;y have an On Ride Photo of myself and my brother on it.

There is no height limit on Spacleys anymore, so you can ride alone if you want. The best part of Spacleys in the Music that plays while your leaving the station and the terrifing helix that always leaves you with a scared face on the on ride photo. :)-Dave....who has had some hillarious on-ride photos on Spacleys :)

No height limit, this sounds like a plan. Heres how it goes : Running on Spacely, get off spacely by myself after the amazing helix, Travis runs up to me and brands me a wuss forever :shock:, then I marathon Spacely the rest of the day while the little 6 year old kids laugh at me :

How could I forget Spacely's? Well, I've never ridden that either!My friends would think I was a loon if I ever requested that we ride that. Heck, some of them complain when we ride the Whizzer :)

Spacely's...hmm....I don't think I will even fit. I barely fit in Demon, my legs are too long. I think I would look weird riding that ride...I enjoy the back spike on V2 in back row. Oh, whats better than grabbing trees on whizzer, is touching the ground. Fun!

This may seem weird but... i really like the end helix on Raging Bull, i can't remember what seat it is (outside left or right). I am also probably one of the few on this sight that has never ridden Deja Vu, because every time that i go it is always down, or breaks down for the rest of the day while i am in line. I would think thought that the Boomerang would be cool.

I also like the last part fo Raging Bull. You have to be in the far left seat. I just love the high banking.But my #1 favorite is the pretzel loop on the last row of S:UF.

My favorites are the double corkscrew on the Demon, and the Pretzel Loop from the front seat on S:UF. When your in the front you get a little bit of airtime right before the dive which just makes it that much better.

I think that the pretzle loop is better in the back of the train because its more intense. Its still cool in the front. The drops on Deja Vu are awesome and so is the boomerang.
