Which Ride Would You Like To See In The Future?

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

Scooby Doo(SfStl), starts you out in a themed little boat which seats 4 people. It has a doulbe-loading dock for better capacity. You go into a tunnel which gets dark and you start your ride. You have to shoot little sensors that are placed throughout the ride. Certain sensors trigger special effects. The ride is very fun and cool. It is very well themed to Scooby Doo.

I would love to have a scooby doo ghost blasters ride. I'm not sure if i would prefer the boat/scary swamp one or the mystery machine one. What would be awesome if our park went all out and got an original one that was a combo of the ride scooby wild mouse from WB movie world in austrailia thats go vertical lifts, goes backwards, and has unbelievable theming and a shooter one.

If in the near future, American Eagle just cant take the test of time and has to be takin down, They need to build a TOP THRILL DRAGSTER, like the one at Cedar Point. That Would be awsome, And excuse me? Take down the Viper? NO Viper must stay. whizzer is the only kid friendly ride, so are you saying that we should just tare down all the kid rides and sections to make room for more rides? six flags is for kids too.

since when did gurnee have height limitations, i mean come on, raging bull and giant drop are high, over 200 feet, what is there height limit 300 ft? i know at great adventure or six flags america one of the 2 there height limit is like 160 ft. but ive never heard of gurnee having a height limit, they are not near any major air port or anything, usually, height limits are imposed if they are near a major airport or something. but if you say there are limit's im not gonna argue i just dont believe it but what ever

^ GAm can't go any higher than Sky Trek Tower (which is like 310 ft. I believe).

Well, GAm could go higher, but Gurnee won't let them.

I like the zipper idea, but Chance has never made a park model for that ride (it would be kinda hard to) and in my opinion, they never seem to reliable to me.

I'm sure IF they took out Eagle, they would end up putting another woodie in because the majority of the sf parks have 2 wooden coasters.

I'm not really concerned about adding anything. We have lots of coasters, and we just got 4 new flats added to the 25-30 other flats we have, so I think they focus on park improvements.

^ But we don't have a normal Tilt-A-Whirl. The closest we come is East River Crawler.

I actually think that the park can't go higher than 315 feet. Though, the spiel in STT says the tower is actually 330 feet.(That could be the flag pole though.)

Sorry Techop, no Top Thrill Dragster will ever show up at the park and the American Eagle is not going anywhere.

Bad reliability on a Zipper? :? Basically, the main difference between park models, and non-park models is the truck. So what, if it would have truck. I don't think people would avoid it just because it has a truck.

[color=yellow]I have been doing research and triped over the new coaster that is being built at six flags great america. The rollercoaster is an Intamin Hydraulic launch coaster, It is suppose to break the record for tallest and fastes rolleroaster currently held by TTD. The coaster is suppose to be just like TTD only bigger and faster. Now I live a hour from Cedar Point. And let me tell you something, before you say your not going to like it give it a chance. I will go and try to find the web page that i triped over and post the link so poeple can see it. [/color]

I want a dark ride or dark coaster. That is the one thing I think we are lacking.

I really think that they should get a coaster like Joker's Jynx with the theming, if that was not mentioned before because it is compact and has good queue theming.

I would also like to see a Turbo Force type ride.

http://www.spectacularmidways.com/whats ... s_new.html

I went on that this past April/May, it is quite fun. The forces are pretty strong, and I love the height.

You may want to rethink that. On the first Sunday of the IL State fair 8/15 Turboforce was running great. Then later in the day, I saw that it was not running, and had a crew working on it. I asked one of the crewmembers what had happened, and he said that it had broken a bolt. I do not know if it ever re-opened during the run of the fair, but I talked to several of the carnies that come into the bar I bartend at and they said it wasn't the first time that has happened on that ride.

Side note - After seeing how drunk these guys like to get at my night job, I really don't trust too many carnival rides. :shock:
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

One word, "carnies".

I never trusted them either. Actually, you'd probably make good business with relatively large contracts just by being a safe, well-maintained carnival (where the rides aren't showing signs of rusting).

There is one of those down at the Last Fling in Naperville. I might go and see how it is. But still it's a portable right so who know's if they could build one permanant.

Spectacular Midways also does Last Fling in Naperville. It's probably the same company/ride.

Isn't there one somewhere else? Because I saw it on travel channel once. Or is that the same one?

Where did Hay Baler go? is it still in the employee parking lot, or did they burn the straw and melt down the machinery?
