Well it already left the confines of its hole in Hometown Sqaure, so yeah now I have no hopes...My only hope to ride something like it again would be the Troika at Bobbejaanland, but it probably won't be there anymore this season since I've seen it for sale online for only 40,000, so yeah, I'm pretty much in a hole right now...

Sorry, I'm too busy complaining about the SC Triple Play to notice that you guys were talking about the Gurnee TP...

Are you sure, who knows whats going on with Six Flags, everything is going out of control... I wouldn't be surprised if it leaves, none of my friends remembered ours, its just that ride over there that is some color scheme that did something. Oh well, hope it stays in your park.

P.S. if it does come back you can rub it everyones face on the SFGAm World forum :D

They took out the old Burger's on the run building! I remember looking inside there last season and seeing some of those glass coolers, otherwise the place was run down and empty. I also remember there were some colorful sqaure lamps and the good old Marriott Swivle chairs/tables outside...

It also seems they have expanded into the Area of Triple Play, not with a ride, but probably some garden...ugh

Whats up with the question mark, I thought that area was just going to be left alone since the Disko is being put in at the back of the park...

Where'd you get the map?

If you read the part in yellow, it says that he made that map (or atleast the changes to it).
It's Whizzer time!

It wasn't called anything (wasn't labeled on the map, no sign, etc.), it was an unused building and still had some implements from its resteraunt/deli days inside as of last season.
