gafreak Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 so far weather for friday is looking good, hopefully chutes will reopen this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 With only two weekends left, I have to wonder if the park will take the time to change the red, white, and blue parachtures to the new multicolored ones or simply wait until next season. They may change them out if they want to snap some pictures of it for next years pamphlet/marketing. I am sure it was important for the parachutes to play a part in the Six Flags 50th Anniversary celebration, especially since it was Six Flags who worked with Intamin to develop the technology for the modern version of the classic parachute tower ride.

gafreak Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 i cant see maint. installing brand new chutes for 2 weekends when they can install them in the early spring for the publicity photos or use the old pic from texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafreak Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Chutes was open and running a long line on sunday, it was good to see them up and running. I wonder if next season it will be renamed and the jump tower speil will be redone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 That's a good question... It's likely for a rehab would seem pointless with simply a fresh coat of paint. I'm all for it. I actually didn't see it running last Friday for some reason, but it wasn't listed as closed on the board. Oh well. Just throwing this out there, what if as a promotional thing Six Flags would do an actual jump/ parachute show off one of their towers. It could work but with money and safety, it wouldn's seem high on their list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ya friday and saturday it was closed, it was open all day on sunday, i think they were running 3 or 4 of the chutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterPrince Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 So new chutes next year? I'm glad it's open. This weekend I'll try to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 When they were painting the tower I had it in the back of my mind that I saw that color somewhere, but I couldn't place it. I now realize it was the color of SFOG's tower when it was being erected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 That's interesting. I think the Parachute rides have become a standard for Six Flags Parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 anyone have any idea what the new chutes will look like, when it reopend in oct, they were still using the red whit and blur ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemeParkRider Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm assuming it will match the Six Flags colors. I think a purple, blue, and green mix would look nice. Otherwise I say they might just keep it the same. But, that's why the off-season is here. To renovate the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
