Anyone remember this? August, 1979 they had some sort of a radio-sponsered Country music thing. I was there under a large tent, pictures of the Oak Ridge Boys in a concert. I seem to remember that tent/stage area. I may not be correct, but seems to me that is what ended up being the entrance to Ame...

Jeff, While I have asked them many times about that, I never did get a 100% confirmation from the park that they would display the Eagle Model this season. The impression I got was that they were going to look into it, so hopefully that means they will do it. If and when I get more information, I wi...

Yes, all the cabins at the Gurnee park were scrapped between the 2004 and 2005 season, except for the 4 that the park had out during Fright Fest (the ones painted Green, that were over in Hometown Square). Hopefully, they will at least keep those. Even if they use them the way they did, it at least ...

30th Anniversary Logo for Great America, Gurnee, IL
Everyone, Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but this was shown on a video screen yesterday at ACE's No Coaster Convention. http://CPE-65-29-35-94.wi.res.rr.com:2711/jcpics/brian/MGAParksPhotos/30YearLogo.jpg As far as what Gurnee is planning on doing on May 29, 2006? All they would say is t...

I have also wanted to have one of these as well. But again, the sheer size of the cabin is what you don't think of right away. When Great America in Gurnee, IL had 4 of them out for Fright Fest, it allowed me and my friends to get a good look at them again. This also allowed us to again remember how...

Many great pictures indeed Steven. By the way, you can tell when that picture was taken on top of Sky Treck Tower. If you look Reed and Jeff, you can see the lift hill of the American Eagle. But, if you look to the right of Jerry, there is no helix. So, this is during the building of the American Ea...

Sorry about that. Photo should now work. The problem I run into is that with me hosting the pictures myself, I need to post them with both URL's at first (Internal to my LAN, and then the one that everyone else will see). Problem is, if I don't VPN into my Company's network to test the external link...
