scott Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I know this one, it's located at Great Lake Grandstand, which original Six Flags TV was used to programming to play videotapes on the system for the TV monitors on the queues for the rides in 1990s like Time Warner music videos, Looney Tunes cartoons, trivias, movie & TV show promos, commericals, park promos, etc... when Time Warner owns Six Flags theme parks. Well FUN sounds so sure how can I not think that's the right answer. I thought it was a season pass processing center bit I don't know where I thought it might have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 If that is the Grandstand, I'd love to see more pics inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Good job Six Flags FUN! (And sorry, Six Flags TV isn't in our lineup yet!) Scott gets points too! ANSWER: The photo was taken below the Great Lake Grandstands. The shot (uncropped below to show the angled roof) was taken in the portion to the right of the central corridor entrance. The photo at the bottom was taken inside the left portion which was once the home of The Beachcomber Shop and later used for broadcasting Six Flags TV.

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 It was used for season pass processing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 QUESTION #433: Riddle time! The park has four, although once there were five, The widest is an attraction which you enjoy - live. Two were backstage, although now only one, The other you pass through, for even more fun. The smallest is gone, but it's hardly missed, And one is sometimes accessible, but there is a twist. So what are these things that I describe today, One last hint, they weren't made to stay.

IBOK Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Can't name or describe them all but I suspect the blow up props? For instance the one at HITP boardwalk entrance to walk through, think I saw one or two at FF. Trying to think of any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Nope, not blow up props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 That is a really good guess Daved, but that isn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 How about bubble structure buildings like original admin building, Americana Music Hall, Adventure Theater, Festhaus, Commisary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yes Daved!!! ANSWER: The items being described were the "temporary" bubble buildings found around Great Adventure. Here's the meaning of the riddle: The park has four, although once there were five, (The five include the buildings below. They are all still at the park except "E".) The widest is an attraction which you enjoy - live. (The widest is the Showcase Theatre. "C" below.) Two were backstage, although now only one, (The two backstage were "A" -the old admin building and "B" - the commissary.) The other you pass through, for even more fun. ("A" became the entrance to Superman Ultimate Flight in 2003.) The smallest is gone, but it's hardly missed, ("E" -the Adventure Theatre was removed by 1999.) And one is sometimes accessible, but there is a twist. ("D" -the Fest Haus catering area is only accessible during special events.) So what are these things that I describe today, One last hint, they weren't made to stay. Here are the bubble buildings: A. The Old Admin building B. The "Commissary" in the park's bone yard. C. The Showcase Theatre (originally named the Americana Music Hall). D. The Fest Haus in the catering pavilion. E. The Adventure Theater Cinema 180 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Nope. Not in The Old Country. Here is a HINT: While the building was backstage, it could be seen from onstage and was associated with something that was onstage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 HINT: This was the control room for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daved Thomson Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Since it seems to be located near the blue Dream Street tent , are we talking about that ride with a Free Fall sign on it that was in the middle of Dream Street? But, the building's architectural styling is also signaling either Sarajevo Bobsled or Shockwave?

honda rider Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Freefall behind the fence with the movie posters...the trucks and park backstage would be right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 honda rider got it! ANSWER: The building in the photo was the control room for FreeFall (later Stuntman's FreeFall). It was built in 1983 when the ride was installed and removed in the winter of 2006/2007 when the ride was demolished. You can see the control building on the right in the photo below.

GAcoaster Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 That drove me crazy! I remembered walking by it all the time but for the life of me I couldn't remember where it was! I thought it was for the Sarajevo Bobsled but as soon as Freefall came up, I remembered it was across from the ice house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
