Re: Gurnee's Sky Trek Tower in the process of new paintjob
Was there Sunday for FF. While I'm glad it was running & received some attention, I can't shake the feeling I get when I see SF plaster their name all over attractions. Same for the highway sign. Looks great but they seem hellbent on minimizing any reference to the park's individuality. I'm sure...

I still think Eagle is one of the more impressive wood coasters in the country. I always looked forward to seeing the helix as we approached from 94 south (a view that was ruined a bit by Bull lol). I also love the night rides, although we usually hit Demon and Bull once it's dark. I really miss the...

missedthemarriotera, Demon has always been in the same spot since the park opened, but wasn't called Demon until 1980 (when the first 2 loops and theming were added). There was another coaster in Iron Wolf's spot called Z Force. It opened in 1985 and was relocated after the 87 season. There should b...

Wow, what a thread. It's great to see that people actually have this stuff! Being the Tidal Wave and Demon guy that I am, I occasionally look for items. A couple years back I watched a Tidal Wave patch go for $75 or something like that. I just couldn't stay in the running after it topped $50. Today ...
