Always weird seeing people vlog SFGAm and then in my mind paralleling that with what's at CGA. Like 5:30 I was like 'oh that would be Kid's Stuff and Delerium... To the right there would be Mass Effect and the waterpark."
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining yeah lol, each park kept a lot of the old stuff. You peeps expanded with SW territory and kept some old rides. While we kept things like the von roll, some theaters, and trees in Hometown that every other year try to kill someone. (yup that happened, massive infected tree crashed down on 2 people mid summer last year).
It’s a niche park for enthusiasts to enjoy, and locals are super devoted and passionate about it. People really love this park and want it to succeed. When I introduce friends to the park, they either love it or hate it. I introduced it to a long time cedar point ride op on a cold day and they fell in love with it. I brought my other friend on a hot day in July and it was a bad time.
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining oh I am a bitch for Goliath, and I adore Maxx Force (Great America has an elite lineup). I had an amazing time marathoning Batman in October of 2022, and even when I wasn’t marathoning it I tried to ride it every chance I got. Me and my buddy Tyler were doing a Goliath marathon, and every time he took a bathroom break or got food, I was riding Batman. Later that night I got two night rides where it was running so fast, it was one of the only times I’ve ever felt dizzy after riding a roller coaster.
The deepest lore reason/rumor I hear about SFGAm Batman having no wheel covers is that it makes maintenance/inspecting the wheels easier without spending the time putting the covers on and off. Good to see you're vibin. Had a pretty decent day at SFGAm last year and everything was well run. Riding Iron Gwazi a lot pretty much spoiled Goliath and I do agree SFGAm needs a new/refreshed kids area. Batman is in that club of "aged like wine B&Ms", Viper is sleeper good, and why doesn't SFGAM do a Holiwood Nights type event for Raging Bull?
The whole Mardi gras section drives me nuts. Like... the tilted games building . The lack of trees behind joker. The random johnny rockets that has nothing to do w new orleans. The balloon ride replacing the gazebo and town square. Just plant trees forget about theming
I feel like the wheel covers for Batman haven’t been put back on since they did the whole backwards train Six Flags did for all of their Batman clones. I need to head back here before my platinum pass goes away in 2025 with the merger.
Thanks!! I’m finishing a new vlog from the pride fest event at this park and I’ll be uploading it soon. I hope you come on a good day, it’s a great park with a lot of passionate employees and loyal park goers. It’s almost like Kings Island but with Six Flags flair lol.
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining I’ve always thought that this park looked like the Kings Island of Six Flags, and Kings Island is by far my favorite Cedar Fair park for overall park experience. Sometimes I really wish I lived in the Midwest!
Ride ops were a little better on Sunday. Still a lot one train operation, but they started adding trains later in the day. Got a lot of rides in with flashpass.
I really hope CGA gets something like Sky Stryker. Our current VP doesn't like thrill rides so that's not gonna happen, but they're great rides and the merger is coming. Plus Delerium suuuucks, forceless.
They could combine that whole trash can area with buccaneer and go carts and build a mack hyper. Move all the kids rides to the picnic grove as well. Underutilized space. Batman is not bottom of the barrel😢
@ZeroCreditsRemaining yesss. Updated my original comment w more thoughts. Thanks for sharing! As far as where im at in your video we are in the batman queue brb
Is Great America your home park? It's mine and I've been disappointed with the state of the park the last few seasons. I hope they can make the park feel more... cared for. It's lost a lot of its shine, despite it having so many good coasters. Great vlog!
Yep, I’m a southern Wisconsinite and it’s closest to me! I’m torn, there’s been improvements but for every step forward they take at least another step back. :/
Oooo good question. I’d start by implementing more costumes for employees and performances. They don’t do enough shows in southwest territory, even walking across a comedy show for kids with cowboys in it is cool. DC themed outfits for ride ops in DC area. Old times fairground type outfits in county fair. Orleans Place needs ride op uniforms too. Do away with blue polos or whatever they wear. Then I’d move forward with adding more theming from there. What would you do?
@@ZeroCreditsRemainingI thought about this careful lol but maybe I think they should mostly focus on Park Beatification in general as it feels kinda messy rn. I also think they should add a Looney Tunes area to bring in that family friendly crowd the park needs rn. A small thing I'd add is a bull noise for raging bull for immersion. These things aren't much but I'd start there, I think the park really can benefit on theming on par with Knott's

Thanks for watching my actual first ever vlog! I'll fix the audio issues going forward. Feel free to let me know how I can improve these.

Saaaame with CGA vlogs, I absolutely love them and seeing an alternate reality marriotts great America park that isn’t from an alternate reality.

Its nice to see people talk about Great America, it's the closest SixFlags park to where I live and i feel like it doesn't get enough coverage

Idk if I missed it in the vid somewhere, but is this your home park?
Good to see that Batman is running good. It’s honestly my favorite coaster in the park (I’m dead serious), Batman rules
I think it’s the most intense roller coaster in the park. I might be with you on that one, but I really love Maxx and Goliath too.

11:45 this audio is like some kind of internal thoughts you'd have while absolutely tripping balls on something at the park. lol
Im glad you heard it too, I thought I was imagining it!

Great vid, I had a very similar experience Sunday, outrageous waits, very sus ops.. hope you have a great 🎢 season!
its opening day what do you really expect? have some respect.
it is so funny how u say you're scraping the bottom of the barrel by riding Batman,,, when that would be like a top 2 ride at so many parks
I also said that Sprocket Rockets was the best roller coaster I LOVE BATMAN you know I'm kidding tho, Tulip lol
@@ZeroCreditsRemaining Sprocket Rockets is a Top 2 coaster wym
@tarantulip5217 it’s no roller skater, you’re right.
Batman doesn’t use wheel covers because maintenance is to lazy to take them off in the morning.
First day of season is same day as best holiday? Thats a win lol! But fr great vid
Fantastic Vlog! I grew up going there and love to keep tabs between my visits. That circle jerk of trash cans is really something. ⭕️
3:33 love to see a good whomp reference.

Love that you’re doing vlogs now! One day I’ll make it to this incredible park

The return! See you around the park this season (hopefully!)

Great video! They're clearly summoning the trash demon XD
Randy the Raccoon?
RIGHT YOU ARE BILLY

Wish six flags completed the actual new stuff during the offseason
Me too! Iron Menace looks great at Dorney. I feel ripped off always being asked to pardon closures, my pass isn’t getting cheaper.
Not the Jeff Stryker joke 😅😂

Damn what rides are open!!?? lol Have a Six Flags Day!

Great video wonderful editing, AJ Is hilarious and so much fun to watch
How would you improve Great America in terms of theming? Great video btw

Wooot wooot Batman the ride
OG
I was there for opening, lots of delays 😂
Superman was just hanging out on the lift saying haayyyyy
your alive!
club icon!
My buddy Tom! ❤❤❤
Zipper pouches and no assigned seating on Goliath. Too bad CF won't be adapting that instead of, most likely, the other way around.
I sure do love never using a locker.
😮
A Larson Looper is NOT a roller coaster. Only the GP would consider it a coaster.
