lol, for the Gurnee folk at least

Yeah I think your right, Its seems shorter and as though it doesn't move as close to vertical as it used to. (although it never was vertical) I don't know why but even with this program I felt I was developing a headache afterwards, but I used to ride it at least 3 times a visit without a problem......

I don't think Knott's is going to help keep them apart much... see what Paramount did:

Different Park entirely: http://www.homeandabroad.com/c/3/Site/8 ... visit.html

They could........ but it would be severly inpractical. Sadly, They would have to get passed A LOT of new attractions including: Celebration Swings, probably Survivor: The ride, Psycho Mouse, Thunder Raceway, and the whole waterpark (which are in the way of the old route).

Is anything going on at the theaters? Anything happening in the Pictorium?

Can't wait to check it olut for myself! I must say the whole just Great America thing makes me feel a little more at home, less of a big corporation feel...

did they do anything with Vortex?... it was just as bad as Invertigo last year.

^ Someone said, I'm not sure where, it was to make Gilroy better known, but I don't see how this helps if everywhere they say "Formerly Bonfante Gardens"...

Lets see... today their simply is The sound Delta Flyer and Eagle's Flight cabins makes when they engages and disengages on the wire Loggers Run boats: click-click-click clack-clack-clack click-... as it goes up the lifts Barney Oldfield Motors The Demon lift chain I don't remember much else... exce...

lol, I think it is a buffet type restuarant over here... but on the entrance roof is painted PIZZA written in huge letters.

Ugh Knott's Great America sounds horrible! Its not like it would change how I call the park, whats wrong with just Great America? (I've heard of the legal issues but why then are they allowed to have Great America on the website, for so long, etc.) It makes no sense to put Knotts on...

No Clue, They just mad eup their own probably...
But I have noticed on the Cruise America Logo on the rentable RVs they use something like it (with the stars)

Ok Well I was browsing Youtube and found these for anyone interested:

Ok I noticed they did clean Invertigos line a little during the 06 season but it still needs work! If I were Cedar Fair I'd clean up Vortex and Invertigo:

(Sorry wouldn't let me save a rotation, but you get my drift)

I have high hopes that the Orbit will stay at the park with Cedar Fair in control. Anyways decided to post a picture since I had nothing better to do, from the 06 season:

Anything look out of the ordinary?

All I can say is that the decisions Cedar Fair makes for the park are probably going to depend on SF Discovery Kingdom and how they can attract more visitors to come to Great America for a different experience than Six Flags. (I believe a main factor has to be the large kid friendly attraction as we...
