On Saturday me and the same 2 friends went to Six Flags Great America...it was bout time we use our six flags season passes that we paid 45 bucks for again. Looking at the weather forecast the day before, it didnt look good at all. 80% chance of thunderstorms most of the day...but god how I luck out sometimes...it just looked really ominous all day, but it didnt rain until 5 when we were almost ready to leave anyways. Its truly amazing how much the forecast kept down the crowds...we got on almost all of thier 11 or so rollercoasters before 12, when it opened at 10. I was happy because I hadnt been there since 2001, and I got on 3 new coasters, upping my total rollercoaster count to 72. I especially enjoyed superman, because the flying sensation was really cool. Other than that I like Raging Bull a lot, and the whole park was very nice and the staff were very friendly and hard working...not something you see a lot of at some amusement parks. Overall it was a great day. I suppouse I'll post some pictures I took for your enjoyment.
This is a good shot of Superman from the parking lot, right when we got there.
Heres a good shot of Raging Bull and Viper, again from the parking lot. You can also kinda see how awsome of a parking spot we got, about as close as you could possibly be to the gates without being in the wheelchair section.
Superman, from just outside the main gates.
Took this one from inside the Superman station. Shows the lift hill and first drop.
This one shows most of the rest of Superman, along with an empty train...I was the 5th or so person in line, so when we first got to the station they were still running test runs.
Here is the twisted side of V2:Vertical Velocity, SFGAM's Impulse coaster.
That would be the first hill on American Eagle.
This would be Deja Vu, minus the Cobra Roll.
Here is one of the Vertical Loops on Deamon.
The lift hill and first drop on Deamon. Also the first turn of Raging Bull in the background.
The first drop of Raging Bull.
And last but not least, a nice shot of the first turn on Raging Bull.
