2006 Opening Day Pictures
Everyone, Here are a few pictures from Opening Day yesterday at Great America in Gurnee, IL. At the front of the park at 9:45 AM, they did a balloon release. Notice the 45 balloon thing in the middle of the reflection pond. http://CPE-65-29-35-94.wi.res.rr.com:2711/jcpics/brian/MGAParksPhotos/Openin...

It was August 1, 1961 that Si...

Yep. Check out my photo album for a view of the Whirligig's guts. Bet you didn't know it was green inside! PPG I think over the years they painted the center of it. Here is a picture from May of 2001 when they moved it back in front of Batman. Season opened, and the ride was not quite ready yet. ht...

Re: Thanks
So, can anyone tell me what my handle, "Signal 6" means? In 1990, I worked in Park Services, but I worked the backstage areas of the park (employee break areas, the service road, etc). I also worked in the picnic grove as well. Because me and my crew (of 3) could be anywhere in the park, ...

Yes, a group of highschool students (on a dare from what I was told) stole the spider right off the ride. They did it in the middle of the night. I know they also broke a few of the flood lights so that the ride would be in the dark. The next morning, the park noticed it was gone, and of course call...

The Eagle Model??? I knew they would pull that thing out for the 30th anniversary. From what I remember, that thing was quite large. If you took pictures, please post them soon. I'm guessing the Park Model you saw looked like this? 8) http://www.greatamericaparks.com/sg/history/model/gmodel01.jpg Th...
