FIFTEEN MINUTES?! I don't remember it being that long.

I am NOT lying. Today, one day admission for adults (7-55? ) is a whopping FIFTY BUCKS! That's why I get the WOW! card, where you get in for the season for the price of one day.

:D :D :D :D Great news! Any pics of how it looks now? I thought they got rid of all of those things a long time ago (by trhowing them out or something)! Actually, PGA didn't take away the chaser lights. They just don't use them. I rode Demon a few days ago and I was able to see where the chaser lig...

I hear that Sky Whirl had a reputation for causing motion sickness. Did anyone here have that problem while riding? I never got sick (but I only rode like 3 or 4 times).

WHOA! I just listened to the 25 minute Demon soundtrack. That ride had amazing themeing. It must have scared people in line.

Thanks for the photo Steven. I think they should remove Xtreme Skyflyer and put in a coaster. There seems to be a lot of space here which could be utilized better. I disagree with Skyflyer being removed. I have rode it, and it's out of this world. I've done it six times. But they should get rid of ...

I know, but I live twenty minutes away from the Santa Clara park. So, I never knew there was a park in Gurnee until a few months ago.

At least in Gurnee, no one has experienced fatalities (as far as I know). All of the major incedents: Whizzer, Top Gun (my favorite), and Drop Zone, all involved tragic deaths. I'm not sure what happened on Whizzer exactly. I know that some guy hopped the fence and got hit by a Top Gun train. For Dr...

Does anyone have any park maps to share? I'd like to see an old map from Marriott days, as I wasn't born until post-Marriott.

I got a prize from one of these guys. It was in the early nineties. It was a green teddy bear that I slept with for many years. Oh, the memories.

SC has a jet fighter themed ride too. It's called Top Gun, and it's awesome.

Demon (I wasn't born when TOTC was at the park.)

Thanks. I just went to Great America yesterday (I have a Wow! pass) and rode Demon. This time i heard it clearly.

What happened exactly?

Now that I think about it, I agree with Steven. I did enjoy Sky Whirl a lot. Even though the last time I rode it, I was like 5 years old, it was a fun ride. I agree that they could have put Invertigo in another place. In my opinion, they should have removed Vortex, and put Invertigo there. Besides, ...
