Why is this Skyride worker having a hard time stopping this car? Maybe because there are six adult riders! (Photo from 1977) More mass means more momentum to overcome.

Maddox121 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Seems it won't be gone after all... When I asked SFGAdv. about it, I got no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 I recently ran across this rather rare view of Great Adventure's Skyride when it was transitioning from the NYWF cars to the newer Six Flags Great America fleet! It looks like they ran both sets simultaneously on separate lines. Photo from the summer of 1988. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 Although it’s hard to say for sure because they are far in the distance, but Collin’s drone footage from January 11 seems to show that the Skyride towers have part of their hardware missing, which would also include the cables. Hopefully it’s just maintenance. Here is a link to YouTube - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry2004 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 maybe they repairing the ride for its 50th anniversary (maybe repaint the m&m cars back to its former glory?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Very happy to see the Skyride was spared, at least for anther year. There were rumors it was being removed, but it is still listed on the 2024 maps that were just released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
