I went on a Wednesday back in June and it was pretty empty, but this is August now and it probably is different. But I would assume in the middle of the week (either Tue, Wed, or Thurs) would be the least crowded.
Any pepsi product can will get you $5 off one admission, $10 off for two. Im not sure if the offer has to be on the can though I dont think it does, but if you can find a marked one definately save and use that one.
Definately layout, SFMM has got to have one of the worst & confusing layouts I have ever seen. Me being from Pittsburgh and never benn farther west than Ohio, SFMM was very hard to find rides, even though I did ride all the major ones .
Im pretty sure that you dont need a kid to ride the lil phantom anymore...Im pretty sure your not too big to ride, but then again I might be wrong. As said before hit phantom first thing then hit swingshot which is right next to phantom if you like screamin swings.
There is a special update for gold found halfway down the page here. All the updates are contained here also for future reference or if anyone else needs them.
Yea I always go in june and im usually the only person on the rides sometimes. I didn't go this year but last year when I went I rode Dominator around 5 times and I was the only one on twice.
Yea I looked at them too and it does seem bigger than I remember from being there in may...but then again they couldve cleared out more area since then.
