I must be out of the loop, but why is Tango blocked off as if it doesn't exist? I notice it's listed as defunct on the Ride Status page as well. Seems strange to have a ride so visible to everyone to be closed off like that.
-
Supposedly from what we hear the ride wasn't even supposed to be there anymore, but they didn't get to removing it in time. It's just not functioning anymore so they are taking it out.
-
It caught the Y2K virus just like the other flats at GADV, from 2000 on they seem to not work anymore
-
I heard that there only running it in the summer?
-
I think this (http://www.gadvoutpost.com/mobile/uploads/Image080.jpg) says otherwise infortunately
-
how does somthing catch a y2k virus in 2009
-
Don't mind RobbW, he's always sarcastic.
-
we are in the 2k's still

*cough* Houdini *cough*
-
The real question is: if it does get taken out, will it be replaced by another ride, or a smoking section.
-
Is Tango the one thats right next to el toro that like spins an looks like a giant fruit basket
-
Yes it is nitrorox.
-
Another mild ride that was a hair above the kiddie rides but not overly thrilling for the little ones bites the dust. Hopefully it's just mothballed to ride out the economic mess were in.
-
Thats what I'm thinking too Wade. I think that all of these unsigned rides are really just going to stay there all season without being moved or operated.
-
why do we kept talking about this was everyone avid tango fans...... let it die in peace
-
Some of us on here have something called families... And kids... And THEY are avid tango fans.
-
im 13 so chill all the little kid i know could careless
-
The ones you know may not care, but some people actually do enjoy those rides.
-
what people
i understand kid under 54 inches need something to ride
but is any one actually misses that ride
-
Yes.
There are thousands upon thousands of people that visit the park each year, and I am sure many of those people enjoy taking their younger ones on Tango. Just because you do not like a ride does not mean everyone else in this world feels the same way.
-
Let's see, I have a 1, 4 and 6 year old and they were definately asking why they couldn't ride tango last saturday. Don't be so self centered. The park is already lacking intermediate rides as it is.
-
Why is everyone debating this with a 13 year old. When never used to have these problems on this site.
-
Thank you Peter for being the voice of reasoning lol
This usually happens at the beginning of every season ;)
-
I am just a little cranky lately. Hey,how come you did not come by and say hello on Saturday?
-
Kids lol. I was lucky they made it to the restroom and were fed since I was solo with them lol
-
OK...... i just dont get why Evey one cares so much
-
Gosh, back in the day, Spinmeister, El Sombrero, Freefall, and the Scrambler were where it was at. I miss those days. Its weird thinking about the fact that kids today talk about Tango and the newer flats.
-
no they dont i never hear any one talk about park in general never mind tango
-
Speaking of Tango, if im not mistaken Wade will be working part-time giving piggy backs in it spot. Its a very economical plan actually
-
Me, I understand that you are 13, but you really have to open your mind and see that the park caters to many different demographics, and MUST do so to survive. Some of us have families. Some of us go it alone. Some are teens, and others are in their mid 20's. Everyone has different values in the end.
On top of that, as enthusiasts, we're students of the industry. While we have our likes, we all know that the park needs balance. Being fans of Great Adventure, it's pretty much an accepted fact that Great Adventure lacks balance, and it was making strides towards correcting that. This season, the closing of the Balin's Jungleland rides and other rides such as Tango are sad to see because we know that they serve a demographic that no other rides in the park serve. It's hard to be family friendly when you have a kid with literally nothing to do.
-
OK even if kids like this ride why are we talking about it
-
This thread is about Tango. Hence we talk about the ride. Stop posting in this thread if you hate the ride so much. Thank you in advance.
Well I went to the park today and it's still sitting untouched, unlike the rides in Ballins Jungle.
-
what about the rides in balins jungle i know there removing theme but how did they touch them
-
Just the wet and dry play structures are left.
-
Think everything is going to storage?
-
It's probably going to Chicagoland.
-
i just dont get it, they make so much money each year why cant they just reopen houdini and and add a couple new flats
-
It's actually more the cost of staffing and maintaining the ride that does in the flats. Although with these kiddie rides I think it was more just the overall quantity they had that hurt things in the end since a ton of staffing was required.
-
yes i guess i wonder what there going to replace them with
-
I also think with the kiddie ride that all of the ones in BJL were from Bugs Bunny Land before they were painted and rehab to go into BJL. Maybe they were too old to keep maintaining . I am still very sad to see them go. My niece is only 3 and loved those rides they were perfect for her to go on alone . What a shame to see them go .
As for Tango we really need some flats and to see this one go to is just another shot to the park . I love coasters but I like a lot of flats too and it seems more and more of our park has become only coasters and no flats . I understand times are bad but what is the point of going to SFGADV if you do not like coasters as a lot of us do . You can count maybe 10 or 11 flats that are left if they are open and the park has like 10 or 11 coasters . Pretty soon we will have more coasters then flats... Just my 2 cents ..
