So I'm running around taking care of some crap and after finding myself in Gurnee and happened to have the camera, I decided to kill some time at Great America...

I see you...

Whizzer time...

Lady in the middle row seems to be a bit too excited


Flying Turns


Hometown Square overview


Batman second row...

I'M BATMAN


You want to roll with me good citizen?


V2's train comes out of hiding... somewhat.


I shall call him... Mini-Vee


Okay, for those that have been saying "It's much worse this year", stop your whining. :P It felt no different than last year, in both front and back rows.


Two rides on AE Blue...

"Boogety Boogety Boogety!! Let's Go Racing Boys!!!" --Darrell Waltrip


What's missing?


GONG!!!!


Two rides on Demon's second to last row...

Demons in the Forest


Some "Walking by Whizzer Random Shots"



Two rides on Viper in 2:1...

I like this random bump after the second turnaround...


SNAKES... ON A TRAIN...


One more ride on Raging Bull...

The infamous trim brake


I seem to be taking too many Raging Bull pics this year...







So I decided to end my day by seeing what this was about...


A set... ok...


A giant screen. This has potential...


Then there's this guy that's just plain irritating... to the point that I won't watch this show again...


Markings in the former Plymouth Place


Unfortunately I think Shuttle America's next flight plan is for the scrapyard...


"I'm Constipated!!"


Tower was dead all day:


Tweety Thirty-Two


And finally... the nastiest sink I've ever seen at a White Castle...


EDN

Crowds were low but there were more people today than last Friday/Saturday. Everything was either a walk-on or one train wait. Employees are still very friendly.

As usual, high-res pics are available upon request.

Finally! The American Eagle Blue side is back in action!

Hey Jon, you could save the space ship next year and bring it to your house.

How was the Blooper Show? Was it stupid or was it good? (Man, I HATE SHOWS! they are boring.)

I hope V2 runs like that! That would be sweet.

1. Nice DW quote.
2. Yeah, the guy in the blooper show is an annoying idiot, and that show seems pointless at SFGAm. Like we haven't seen that on TV before (or at least seen it and then changed the channel).
3. Did someone take a crap in the sink at White Castle?

What was missing in the "What's Missing?" Picture?

That's what happens when you eat those cat burgers.

The "Trash Receptacle" sign made famous by Director_Guy over at the World.

I second Jon saving the Space Shuttle.
