Interesting Whizzer Photo

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

Dear jbujwit10,
You have every right to your opinion, however, everyone else also has a right to their opinion. People who enjoy Whizzer are not delusional. I don't know what you think is wrong with the trains, but I can assure you that they have no issues with the curves, nor any other part of the ride. Worried about squishing the person you're riding with? Then ride by yourself.

Sincerely,
DejaVu2001

I used to think it was too lame of a ride to stay there, but after I rode it during Fright Fest, it moved back up my list. I really like the way it seems hidden among the trees and swoops through the landscape.

Also, @ anyone who wants it gone: They tried taking it out before. I know a lot of people around here remember that this is where Superman was supposed to go. So many people liked this ride though that they complained to the park and the park decided to keep it. If they tried to get rid of it again, many people would still try to defend it. Whether or not SF would listen this time, I'm not sure.

Back when this photo was taking the Whizzer had five trains running at the time
No matter how hard it is...Never EVER give up. The real failure is those who dont try.

And guess what JForceFC014? It is. This ride is just taking up space!!! I do not understand why so many people like this roller coaster when there can be some other great big roller coaster added!

^ Maybe because some people are intelligent enough to realize that bigger doesn't always mean better.

Your post just takes up space!! I don't understand why the Mods have let you go on like this post after post? You have a right to your opinion but come on already. Most of us have already tagged you as a young know it all and getting tired of your complaining that every ride sux! and your way is better! Lets keep on topic about the photo.

As for the Wizzer photos. I love seeing those photos it reminds me of the Marriot days and it brings up great memories. It is one of my favorite rides in the park. I try to start and end the day on it every visit I go. I rode it in the years that they would run all 5 trains. You could also see all the breaking systems when you stood in line underneath the station. It surly would be sad to see it go. Thanks for sharing them!

Be careful what you wish for, because one day you just might find Whizzer gone, only to be replaced with the world's largest Thomas Town kiddie area.
Finally Coaster Season!!

where can you find a coaster with seatbelts and the ability to let you sit inline with your girlfriend throughout the ride.


So true, so very true. Man, only if space mountain did the same. :D
