Stored rides, parts, etc.
I'm interested in knowing what old rides, parts, etc. both parks still have in storage. Right now I can remember the following things at Gurnee. Power Dive is laying in the employee lot. Triple Play cars are laying in the employee lot for now. Sky Whirl cabins are in the employee lot. The second Scenic Raliway train is on the transfer track. Anything else you Gurnee folks can think of? I've never been to PGA so I would like to hear from you guys.
I'm also interested in this, Gurnee goers are lucky to still have stuff over their... all I can think of is Triple Play parts(if it is still there, anyone have an update) and the Barney Oldfield Car chasis from different topics...
The rides are GREAT, the shows are GREAT, the fun is GREAT, at Marriott's Great America! REMEMBER Marriott's GREAT AMERICA, REMEMBER Marriott's GREAT AMERICA!

Sky Whirl Cabins
I've a question, did they ever scrap the sky whirl after taking it down (other than the cabins of course...) If so, about when was that done?

Re: Sky Whirl Cabins
I have seen photos of the mechanical crap sitting in the employee lot for the 2001 season, so my guess is it was scrapped sometime in 2001. The cabins were scrapped last year except for a couple of them which are used for Fright Fest.Glorfindel7 wrote:I've a question, did they ever scrap the sky whirl after taking it down (other than the cabins of course...)

I would love to see the Hay Bayler back... Been a long time, but used to enjoy that ride. (However, it probably wouldn't be too hard for GA to pick up a second hand version from a carnival and retheme as necessary?)SFGAmfreak4life wrote:I dont remember how big that space is but Southwest would be a good enough fit for the Hay Bayler. I think County Fair is the best fit but it really wouldnt matter as long as it was back.
