The New For 2009 Buccaneer Battle At Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

Well I was wrong. As you can see Buccaneer Battle is extremely well themed and there are more than ample opportunities for those riding and landlubbers like myself to join in the fun and soak the riders and get soaked.

We kept switching from firing position to firing position in order to give Bond and Allison a good soaking. Just a note if you really want to get wet sit on the boat's starboard side. You'll be within range of most of the land based water cannons for most of the voyage thus upping your chances to get hit.

As you can see Bond got totally drenched and Allison was barely wet. Both of them loved Buccaneer Battle and I wouldn't see these popping up at other parks as they're plenty of fun.

The Eagle was racing at the start of the season and it was still racing mid-summer. Yay! It's so nice having this racing coaster racing again after about twenty years of the management not giving a crap.
