On Saturday we ordered the teriyaki chicken and the orange chicken, however, when they brought it out they looked identical. I questioned it and it appeared as if they tried to give us two orange chickens. They ended up replacing the one with the teriyaki chicken. Maybe the same happened to you? They were distinctly different the way they looked.

I have some Asian friends at school(one from each culture, pretty much), and told them about Chop Six.

They couldn't think of anything more racist apparently.

Agree 100%. I wish Cedar Fair would acquire our park! :lol:

They already trashed the other Great America.

Who knows what'll happen to us...

I think Paramount/ KECO Entertainment doomed it more than Cedar Fair.

They must not have very good imaginations, then, because I can think of many many things much more racist. How exactly is "Chop Six" racist at all?

I don't personally know. To Asians I guess...

Its supposed to be a pun on Chop Sticks but being Six Flags you get chop six. Its not like they called it Fu Man Chu's Mongolian Barbecue and nail salon. It's just supposed to be fun and nothing more, I bet licensing rights to Panda Express, Papa John's, Icee, and Ben and Jerry's were starting to cost the park too much thats why they re named and branded.

I don't think Chop Six is worse than Wok N' Roll.


My dad (Who is South Korean) had no problem with it.

That was hilarious :lol: And while I don't think Chop Six is a very good name, it's innocent enough.

Yeah I'm starting to get pretty pissed off at the service there too. I went to the park yesterday, and I got myself some chicken strips from the stand by the go carts and it took me almost 30 minutes to get them. So, like any logical person, when they asked how many I ordered I said 2 and got a free one :D Anyways, probably got on SUF the fastest I'll ever be able to. It had been broke down and I waited for about 30 seconds for them to open the gate and I was in. Waited one train and got front row.

I'm still curious as to why the red train isn't running on the Bull, because I saw it sitting on the reserve track with sand dummies on it.

Anybody going to the park to celebrate 40 seasons today? Are they doing anything special besides American Eagle with double rides and Hometown Park opening?

Thinking about going to the park once I finish finals.

There were quite a few Double Ridable rides today:

American Eagle Blue(which was of course running one train)

All kiddie area rides, including Hometown park

Batman(last hour)

Bucaneer Battle(the park's desperate attempt at a higher ride count)

Columbia Carousel

Yeah, lots of doubles.

Has anyone had a problem with Raging Bull's single rider line?

^No, not really. All you do is go through the exit to the Flash Pass line, tell them you're a single rider, and you either wait a bit, or just straightaway go up to the stairs.

Park closing at 6 tonight. I can't imagine anybody is there at all, it's pretty awful out.

That's odd because I've used Raging Bulls single rider line earlier in the morning, then I come back and the flash pass staff think I'm crazy and saying there is no single rider line.

^ Huh. I guess some staff are less informed than others...?

As for the weather, yeah, it's quite cloudy here, but not a downpour by any means. I guess a mostly abandoned park?

^ It was a light crowd all day, but once the buses left it was a ghost town. Everything was a walk on, even Goliath. The weather sucked, but it was a great day for getting lots of rides in.

Why did I think it was a good idea to sleep all day? Even so, why not go on overcast? It's the best time to go when it's overcast.

I like going on warm and sunny days. I love the water rides. Plus going 60+ miles an hour on a chilly day like yesterday and today is no fun. Not terribly cold but man this is June and we have temps in the 40's at night. I hope June/July are hot.
