Let's pick up with realizing that our assigned lunch had started. (there were 9,000 Lockheed employees and families there, so they staggered lunches in two different locations), so we planned to head over there. As many theme parks do, Great America also had those carts that sail above the park from one end to the other. On one side of the park, it was called Delta Flyers, and on the other it was Eagle's Flight. We got in line for Delta Flyers, since it would give us a good view of the park, plus it would put us off very close to lunch. We waited in line about fifteen minutes, and there were less than twenty people left in front of us. The ride moves pretty quick, since they load up to four people every thirty seconds or so. But, there were technical difficulties (again) and the ride stopped. Tons of people were stuck in mid-air. While a bunch of people quickly turned around and left (we thought maybe it would be a quick problem like our previous ride had been), we stuck around another few minutes. Then, in a very unprofessional fashion, those at the front of the line shouted out that the workers said it would be a while and that we should all get out of line. There was a worker right there, and he did nothing to correct the situation. Well, we had to get to lunch so we headed out on foot.

It was typical picnic food - hot dogs, bbq chicken, ziti, potato salad, salad, rolls. Coke fountains provided refreshing beverages, and there were ice cream sandwiches and push pops for dessert. The chicken was actually quite delicious (the sauce was good and thick). At the suggestion of others, we
