Road Runner.
The Office or Just Shoot Me?

LOL Phil. I think the original color could be described as limon?
Work on The Big Wheel is great! It's a center piece attaction, and an icon for us older people. It's a gentle ride and it deserves any bit of rehab and paint.

This is a great idea. A Holiday in the Park would be lots of fun.
Places to donate toys to needy children could be located through the outer mall.
I would love to see the Fantasy Forest opened with the carousel, Houdini and maybe the Big Wheel (brrr!)...decorated with a snowflake light display... and giant wrapped and unwrapped presents could decorate the midways.
Musik Express could reopened and rock and upbeat modern Christmas music could play in the cycles. Autobahn could run with the fall of fake snow (though ice would be more fun. ) Skull Mountain could have scenes and themes and music from Rankin & Bass' Rudolph and the Abominable Snowman. BlackBeards could be themed to Kris Kringle's encounters with the Winter Warlock. Buccaneer could be decked out as Santa's Sleigh and The Fantasy Fling might even be themed to a giant dreidel. It would be a good time of year to debut a few more spin rides like Santa's Flying Reindeer and maybe a Polar Express!
All the kiddie areas could be opened and all points in between like Boardwalk games and Siberian Tigers! A Christmas movie might play in the motion base theater and The North Pole could be created in the snowflake (Alcatraz) with Santa and his reindeer.
I'd watch a Christmas show in Showcase Theater. If the park got a hold of the hayride vehicles, a ride-through Christmas scene and light display may be a big attraction.
The park may block off Plaza del Carnaval and The Golden Kingdom, or they could be opened with The Old Country, Lakefront and Wiggles World for Christmas Around the World.
Most of the coaster would be closed but The Dark Knight could be opened for Christmas in Gotham City.
The two ideas I would love to see return from Holiday in the Parking Lot would be the skaiting rink and the minature trains!
I would be happy with the park just being opened, but some ideas like these may make the event more successful.

Is that over 54" rule on the website a joke or are they serious? If anyone over 54" can't go in without someone under 54", that basically limits it to kids 8 - 9 or under.
I suppose it's a trade off. There's not much at Six Flags parks that age can ride.
If they name a ride 'Blowout,' I'm so getting the cut.

The shoot-the-chute is another wish adorned in flashing lights that says, "every major coaster park has one for a reason."
-
Ah, yes. "Every" park has a waveswinger, bumper cars, Musik Express or a scrambler.
I can't help but think "why?"
I like them all, and I figure I'm not alone.
V Hmmmmm
-
I would take a round or two on the bumper cars and a cycle on the Musik Express once or twice a year. It would make my stay at the park last longer, as would a ride on a waveswinger, Houdini and a scrambler. I miss the days when my friends and I would spend the whole day at the park (and buy 3 meals and souviners, Mr $hapiro.)

I didn't see you wave!

I missed a second shot at trying to get on Ultra Twister before Astroworld closed. I missed LL too.
I think I would pick the train. I love train rides and I'm not sure if I ever rode it. Even if I did, I would want to ride it again!
-
That's a really fun site!
-
According to wikipedia (), the park/the company moved all the games out of the OC and spread them around the park.
-
I wish they would have doen that Winfield. Perhaps more people would have enjoyed it.
I would have taken Viper over S.U.F. and day of the season!
-
I was watching these a few weeks ago. They're really great!
-
^ Olympia Looping?
where ever Medusa landed. I would have just replaced it with a picture of something better.
...if I thought about that before now
-
Schaweet. I love the cold. I'm nothing but sicl all the time after getting hit by these 70 degree days!
No calendar for me. I didn't want to look at....was it August?
-
I hope not. The Big Wheel and Carousel need it much, much more. Houdini, Autobahn and Musik Express have to be reopened and staffed. There will be the effect of the stock market and Six Flags' problems to factor in next year. Painting Medusa was silly enough. But whatever Lola wants...
-
True (tie) ;-)
-
No, there's no confusing Magnum and Steel Force!
Your Hurtmeplease train is missing this
-
It had no heart.
-
I picked Old Country because what's an amusement park without it's bumper cars and round-a-bout flat, but Houdini and Flying Wave came in a close second for me.
-
Wow. It's even more beautiful than I pictured.
-
Yes, lol. The friend that came with me had a St. Louis season so he would have had to pay the full price. It was nice and free for me.

$2.8 million in reduced operating costs and expenses
I can't imagine which parks contributed to this.

GA Mystery Photos & Trivia
in Goodtime Alley

I'm going to take a stab at this:
Guest Relations (the old Main and current location)
under Great Lake Grandstand
The Shows Department building between Medusa and Northern Star Arena
The current location, the former Right Stuff exit and gift shop.
