Sky Striker ON SITE & Great America is ALIVE! Sky Striker / Great America updates mid-April 2024

Big updates! Sky Striker components on site, rides cycling and front entrance improvements. See you next week for opening day!

Gosh, so much asphalt. This park has so much potential but they have no landscape architecture involved in any project. The park would be alot more tolerable in the summer too if they redid the asphault parkwide as concrete. Also doubt they saved the frontbentrance berm trees but if they did, they could have relocated to the new asphalt area of county fair or used them along the queue for maxx force. Those took 50 years nearly to grow in! Thank you so much for sharing these updates though! Very excited to see the new entryway. The entry fence is interesteding. I think theyll want to put everybody either through security or ticketing for both parks and then hurricane harbor guests will veer to the right.

Thanks for all your updates, Great America is my home park and it's always fun to keep up with what's going on

Crazy with the mild winter just how far away from completion all of these projects are.

I'm a union painter out of DC14 and just painted a portion of the exterior of mooseburger

[@junaydalmajthoub3758]

6 more days.dont think they will finish in time

[@devinbaeten13]

Is it just me or does it seem like the very incomplete front entrance is a bad look for opening day?

[@koasterkountry]

Amazing video! I'm excited for more updates!

[@craigraether4293]

Worth noting that the Red training on American Eagle is no longer on the break run, and no trains on the storage track , There is now a blue train on the break run that was not there in previous updates.

I got some great photos of them testing the rides today thank you for this

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

[@JustinCoasters]

[@bullresay]

thank i might be there on startday or sunday idk yet but i can wait for sky striker but i can wait for demon i cant wait to ride it i hope i can see you if i can but thank for all the updata

[@tt55899]

Nothing like waiting til the last minute. It's not like you throw a ride up then next day people are riding. I bet memorial day weekend will be the opener

[@RollerCoasterManiac2020]

I bet Sky Striker is gonna be vertical by next week!

[@bethkelly2874]

At the current rate I give it a week or two before it goes vertical

[@wheelgap]

From what I’ve heard, unlike coasters which can be stable and not fully assembled, these discoveries need to go up all at once. Like, 48 hours straight of install. So, they need all components on site before it goes vertical. But once it goes vertical, the structure will be complete very quickly

[@CoasterRushers]

Let’s go!!!

[@ScottTeresi]

Whhaaaat. The hill and flags are gone from the front?! Where can I get some info on this - I'm out of the loop!

[@Robloxgirlunicorn6187]

that will be scary😭😭😭😭

[@mazurradio217]

Bring back Ameri go round. It’s in storage at the park.

[@glasstechs]

Great America is not my homepark, but all of that blacktop is just ugly!

[@michaelleadingham527]

It’s a pedalum type ride stupid I was hopeing for a new coster there enough of these rides we need a new coaster

[@wheelgap]

Pendulum rides are personally some of my favorite rides, especially huge ones like this! I would expect a new coaster soon though, as the park's 50th is coming up in 2026 and it's been a while (by GAm standards) since the park has gotten a coaster

[@ItsChe1seaB1tch]

I’ll see ya there I’m so excited!!!
