It's nice to think about being outside, getting soaked and not having to worry about freezing or hypothermia.

Buccaneer Battle is new for 2009 and is the third ride on this spot since Six Flags Great America opened back in 1976.

First there was the beloved Sky Whirl triple armed Ferris Wheel that was replaced by the never operating Deja Vu rollercoaster. Delay-Ja Vu as it became to be known as was removed a few years ago after constant down time and this spot sat empty for a year or two.

I have to say that when Six Flags announced Buccaneer Battle I was less than impressed. I figured it'd be a low capacity ride with little thrill.
