Six Flags Great America teases new ride

fierce pancake (and others)... alpengeist is 195' tall and goes 67 mph

Umm Six Flags Magic Mountains Deja Vu is 20 ft taller ours in 198ft tall thats y we got the "record" i personally don't think there is a diffrence but thats what the parks said *rolls eyes*

"your mother was a hampster and your father smelt of elderberries now leave before I taunt you a second time!)

so its basically just a S:UF clone, those six flagians, what can ya do with em?

and does SF really say WT isnt a coaster?

-----------------

New shows? I recall a circus and mardi gras type parade when we were there last year, so that doesn't sound so "new". An ice show? Sounds interesting.

Looking forward to Cbuzzcon and my first flyer!

coaster_freak00- SFMM's Deja Vu isn't taller, all three are exact clones. *** This post was edited by Crzy4AE on 1/20/2003. ***

CPLady. I dont recall seeing a circus at SFGAm last year. The last time they had an *actual* circus was when Marriott owned the park. The big white tent housing American Eagle's queue lines used to be for the circus.

The only animals they had this last season was a small petting zoo in the children's area.

I would have been so mad if they had taken out whizzer for a clone.

Why would you be mad? Remember, Whizzer itself is "just another clone"! :)

jeremy, you say that about any Anton and I'm gonna take off these gloves....;) Wait, no I won't my hands would get cold...LOL.

Seriously, I wonder what the new ride will be....at least they'll *announce* on Feb. 4 and eliminate all the suspense....;)

Ptboy11, Hey, i dont complain or whine ALL the time!!!(lol)
Is it safe to assume the circus will be where the chinese acrobat show was this year and the ice show will be in the old wilderness theater???

Good call Bob O. That is very feasible and also makes sense. It would be nice to get the Wilderness theatre back in gear for public shows. It is a nice theatre that had great shows like the Dolphin presentations and the High Dive show.

2 superheroes in Gurnee next season? Oh the humanity. :)

I belive Alpengiest is taller, and has a higer drop then Deja' Vu.

Chitown, I didn't see the "circus", but that's the way my husband described the show near Raging Bull. Maybe it was just aerialists and acrobats? I didn't realize animals were required to call it a "circus". Think Cirque de Soleil. I also recall a Russian troupe who called themselve a circus.

Yeah, what your husband saw were the Chinese Acrobats. You are right though about the term "circus". For some reason I think of Ringling Bros. when I hear the word circus. It very well could be something that doesnt have animals.

However, it would be nice if they did have a traditional animal and clown circus show.
