3602' really isn't bad for any coaster, really. Tatsu is my favorite coaster. I didn't think it was short at all.

Good point. Since nobody's done any NL recreations yet I think I'll give it a go. OHH YEEA!!!. Cant wait till a NL version is released of this MONSTA! I'm already working on it & have gotten the lift,drop & pullout done,now I just gotta work on the first turn following the drop.I'm using two of the renderings of the ride layout as a rough guide but be forewarned that my coaster design skills in NL are still on the newbie side as evidenced by the complaints concerning the four rides I've uploaded to the games sub-forum so far. One more thing. Maybe I'm missing something, but why is there a need for NL recreations? Is THIS not sufficient? They're not needed. They're just fun

I guess it just depends on the day and the seat then? Hmm. Well, maybe it does need rehab. All I know is that it was a great ride

Probably not even 5% of the people you'll see at a theme park are coaster enthusiasts. Most of the people at parks are GP.

^Thanks I rode in the front, and that's it.

PART THREE!!!! Thanks everyone for the comments "Really nice pictures. Always nice to see such a detailed TR on these parks. Just curious, what camera did/do you use?" - DiSab I have this: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=17480 ^Thank you very much! I like that shot as well. If you don't know what this is, go die, but make sure and pet a YouTube-watching, fluffy, rabid, three-legged bunny first!!! Thank you for reading, and leave those comments!!! This ride is just massive. Titan ... In the distance Such a fun little ride I'd love to have it in my backyard. Parking. $15. Same price for buses and regular cars. Yay Now it's time to leave So I decided to take a picture of the mascots ... Then Daffy came over for a visit I'm terrified of mascots. More theming. A themed building!! Park entrance. This is one of Shockwave's supports. It's pointed at the top AND bottom. I thought that was strange. You would think that larger supports at the bottom would keep the ride stronger. Does anyone know why Shwarzkopf/Intamin made supports like these? Upskirt ... Ick. Look at all the things that have fell from riders. Good thing they have nets. ... In case you forgot what ride this is ... I had never seen the S&S logo before, so I took a picture for everyone else who hasn't NeRd shot YouTube-watching, fluf- screw it. We came back to Superman later. For some reason, out-of-focus shots make the rides seem bigger to me. Yes, that is in fact SIX flags at Six Flags!!! Ads But happy riders For you semi-coaster-nerds. Hellboy stone-hand!!! If you know what that is from, you will get a virtual hug from me Argh. 2-in-1 YAY. Goes up the lift quickly. And hey, it's a small ride ... ish I couldn't brighten this one up very well. Freeze launching behind a mess of awesome B&M supports!!! Did Batman: The Ride get repainted recently? The colors looked vibrant and beautiful. No signs of fading at all. They were running 2 towers earlier in the day, then opened all 3 later. FAIL ... Ish. Yes, I waited for this shot, and it isn't great. Mr. Freeze launching through a giant straw To me, this looks like a stoned, mortal, teapot. I was trying to get a picture of the picture on the wall, but my camera took it too late. But look what I caught! A kid somewhat line jumping. He really isn't line jumping, I believe. The only person he was "cutting" in front of was me. There was no one in the line, so everyone would jump the rail like that instead of going all the way around. Ditto ... And YouTube-watching, fluffy, rabid, three-legged bunnies. Mr. Freeze's line. It's actually very dark. The flash on my camera is why it's brighter. This would be one of my favorite shots if it was a little brighter, but this was the best I could do This pictures makes me think of Dolly Parton ... And fluffy, rabid, three-legged bunnies. Fluffy, rabid, three-legged, bunnies. ThRoU ... No. Only 4 seats on this were going, but there was hardly anyone there, so it didn't really matter. Lines were only like 5 minutes. I just love this ride. ThRoUgH tHe TrEeS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 This coaster was squeezed pretty tight into a small area. In fact, a small bit of the track is *SLIGHTLY* over the path below. Hey, Great Adventure, what's up? Oh whatever. I love Joe Jonas more. In fact, IDK what Tony Hawk looks like :/ I just felt like being a perverted 16-year-old. Oh, and I turned 16 the day before we went to SFoT! WIN!!! I think that lady needs to get off Tony Hawk. He's mine. Just look at them curves :] Tony Hawk, you are pretty damn sexy. Rabid, three-legged, bunnies. Rabid bunnies. Bunnies. Raccoons. Three coasters in one shot. Yay I didn't get to ride Tony Hawk Too bad, because he's pretty damn cute ... I mean, uh, the coaster. Ya, the coaster. I didn't get to ride the coaster. Now here's something really cool. You can do karaoke and/or DDR for FREE!!! While there are no prizes, it's still fun, and hey, FREE!!! SUPERMAN ... THROUGH THE ... Erm, theming? Ya, theming!!! The giant coke bottles for recycling were really neat. THEMING!!! There was a lot of it here, as well. Oil Derrick swayed a bit when we were up there. It was scary. When you get off the elevator, between the elevator and the actual observation deck, look down in the crack. It's over 300 ft. And yes, it scared me. Lol. Hmmm I love Texas Giant!!! NINETY DEGR- Wait. Noooo, that's not ninety degrees. But this picture does look cool!!! Such a fun, fun ride. The drop looks boring, but I found it to be really cool because you get a great view, it has a small bit of air (in the front), and it's smooth Roaring Rapids. I only got "Roaring" in the shot, Lol. Rode this once. T'was fun. Nothing amazing by any means, but fun, nonetheless Superman Tower of Power can be seen from anywhere in the park, and it's very photogenic :]

Part Two of Three Can't forget about Hurricane Harbor Both Mr. Freeze and Batman running

Part one of three: Thursday, August 13th. I was very worried about coming to the park during August, and on a Thursday. I knew crowds were going to be awful. I couldn’t have been more wrong. We never waited more than 10 minutes if we even had to wait, and when we did, it was just so we could get the front seat. Best of all? Everything was open!!! AMAZING day. Batman: The Ride: This is my 6th inverted coaster, and my 4th B:TR clone. Out of the 4 B:TR’s, this and Great White are probably tied. IDK why, but this one really seemed to pack a punch. It was also the smoothest one I’ve been on! However, I still think Patriot beats it. Ride count: 3x. Flashback: My 3rd Vekoma Boomerang. Would have been my 4th, but at SFFT, we didn’t have time for it. Anyways, there are ads on this train. Poor train. This is probably my least favorite boomerang coaster. It was slower, and the seats were very uncomfortable. I pulled my OTSR down, and I was too tall for it. I was crunched into my seat the whole ride. Ugh. I’m only 5’ 10”. Not very fun at all. Mr. Freeze: This was going to be our first ride of the day. When the park opened, we went straight to it. It was closed. Fortunately, it opened maybe 30 minutes later. We went to the front row. This is my second Premier LIM launcher, my 1st being Poltergeist at SFFT. I really don’t like the launches on these coasters. They seem really weak. The ride wasn’t butter smooth, but I still found it to be pretty good. Going forward, the top hat was great because of all the headchoppers, and how quick it’s over. Going backwards through it was cool because it was slower, so in the front, you’re hanging there and slowly see the track moving past you. Fun ride! Mr. Freeze himself was on. His head lights up and turns side to side. Later in the day, it was a walk-on, so I rode it a total of 4x. Mine Train: PTS. Awful coat-hanger transitions, very painful, so much side bashing. I hated this ride. However, there is one thing I liked about it. Towards the end, you go through a room with an old-time scene, then the really cool airtime-filled drop underground! We were sitting in the back, which probably explained the airtime, Lol. But seriously, this ride sucks. Rode 1x. Mini Mine Train: This ride really was fun! I’m being honest when I say that I really did enjoy it. 1x. Shockwave: Rode in the back the 1st time, and OMG this ride DELIVERED!!! Great forces in the loop, and yes, PLENTY of airtime!!! This ride was lots of fun! 2x. Runaway Mountain: If you are unfamiliar with this coaster, it’s indoors, and the layout is a mirror image of this: http://rcdb.com/607.htm?p=12037. There was some nice, simple themeing, and I have no complaints there. The ride was smooth, and lots of fun. 1x. Tony Hawk: Didn’t get to ride. The line looked longer than 30 minutes. I wasn’t going to wait that long. Later in the day, that changed, but we had other things we had to finish up riding. Judge Roy Scream: Rode once in the front and once in the back. The front had some nice and really fun pops of air. The ride was a bit rough though, and I didn’t enjoy it terribly much. The back sucked. No air, very brutal, I hated it. 2x. La Vibora: My first bobsled. This ride was a blast!!! So much fun, and it even had airtime! I actually got scared once. Haha. Before the brakes, you get bumped side to side, but I know that is something that the car must do to get straight for the brakes, therefore, no complaints. Great ride! 1x. Titan: I’ve ridden Goliath at SFMM, and I honestly found it to just plain suck. Because of that, I wasn’t looking forward to Titan. We decided to sit in the back, the same as I did on Goliath, and this ride was AMAZING. The drop had some awesome air, and the camelback had more intense air than Goliath. I do think that the extra helix does make a difference. Full of headchoppers! I blacked out on it. I didn’t like that. The second helix, I blacked out again. We then decided to sit in the front. Still great air! However, we overshot the MCBR. We were two cars out before it actually stopped. We were already turning down the drop, and my friend who was sitting next to me, he was leaning out of the side of the car, and I really thought he was about to fall out. IDK if the ride is supposed to do that, or what, but I didn’t like it. Still a GREAT ride though!!! 2x. Texas Giant: I rode this expecting it to be absolute crap. When we were in line, I was dreading it. We decided to sit in the front row, because hey, with a crappy ride, might as well make the best of it. This ride totally blew my expectations out of the water. GREAT airtime, you never know where you’re going, and not only that, but it was SMOOTH!!! Yes, Texas Giant was in fact smooth. Now, don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t butter smooth by ANY means, but for an old wooden coaster, this ride was not bad at all. In fact, it was just smooth enough that I would be willing to continuously ride it. This is now my favorite wooden coaster. I really began to wonder if it’s in need of a $10 million rehab. Is it just the front seat that’s smooth? Is the rest of the train crappy? I got off thinking that Rattler at SFFT could use the rehab. Not Texas Giant. I do think that if they are going to fix up Texas Giant, they should get some Millennium Flyers. I really do think that would almost completely do the trick. Texas Giant, FTW! 1x. Superman Tower of Power: Tower rides are my weakness. However, this ride was FUN!!! Wasn’t scary at all, and had some nice pops of air. I found the final drop to not be that great. It felt really controlled. I prefer Intamin drops. 2x. Overall, this was a GREAT day!!! Hardly any lines and very quick employees!!! That includes ride and food employees. They were friendly and they really seemed to enjoy their jobs, with the exception of a few people. We were at the park from 10:30-6, and we got all these rides done, plus a lot of just walking around, so it was a day well spent! I love Six Flags over Texas Taiko Happy More ads Yes, they have these. Entrance. This was at that JRS exit. Yaaa ... This ride was cool FOOD!!! Well, SFoT has a Mr. Freeze and a Batman, and so does SFStL, so ... Hmm ... Pinecones? Oil Derrick ... ThRoUgH tHe TrEeS!!! Where is everyone? WIN. Two really awesome rides Close-up! I failed at this shot, but you can still see one person's face Walking in the sewers to get to the station. LOOOOOOOOOOPPP!!! Yay it's about to open! Where we headed first, but it was closed This was during the pre-opening ritual. We were waiting for the park to open. However, their ritual was cool!!! They changed the music a bit, and Mr. Six did the dance moves he does in the commercials!!! I thought that was really cool!!! Yay for entertaining pre-opening rituals!!! Superman testing with an employee on it TITAN!!! Through the ... Well, not really. YAY!!! Morning testing!

I got it on the top of 'X', still do a little bit on drop towers, and even quick launches, which really is weird, like Cygnus12 said. Other than that, it's gone

^Honestly, I was thinking about posting it there!!! I'll have to come up with how I'd say it and explain enough. Lol.

PARC has not been doing so well lately. http://screamscape.com/html/industry_news.htm#PARC Scroll down about 3/4 of the page. It's under PARC Management.

My rant today: My dad. Apparently, a "good deal" is better than including his son in the family vacation.

I finally got the same camera as you, Nick! It takes awesome photos, but I agree about it taking bad indoor pictures. Nice P:TR

I forgot to mention that I've ridden the West Coaster at Pacific Park in Santa Monica. We rode in the back, and we were very surprised. Yes, some GREAT floater air! It was more between floater and ejector air, if you understand what I'm saying. I loved that ride!!! Steel Eel beats everything though

Well the Chance Morgan factory is just a few miles from my house, so it will always have a place in my heart I find Mamba at WoF to be fun. Not really intense, but fun, nonetheless. Steel Eel at Sea World San Antonio, now THAT'S a different story! That was intense. Full train+back seat ride= LOADS of air. Great ride. I like how the trains are long, as well. It gives more airtime to the people in the back. But I do think that most Morgan coasters are the same. I just *WISH* we wouldn't have to stop (or come close to stopping) on the MCBR. However, I've heard that Mamba has really just been passing through it this year and not slowing down a lot. That's great.

I agree that Patriot is much better in the front

Went to see the Jonas Brothers last night. AMAZING!!! As you can see, we were pretty far from the stage. But damn I have a good camera! Jordin Sparks and the guys. This would have been a GREAT picture if that damn cord wasn't in the way.

I'm going to the Jonas Brothers concert in a few hours

I've been on both Diamondback and Sidewinder (The Arrow Shuttle Loops). I find Diamondback to be much more intense. GREAT ride!

JANUARY?!?!

Now that would just be cruel

Did you ride Patriot in the front seat? It's the BEST. Not because of the view, but it's extremely forceful there. We sat in the first 2 cars and the last 2 cars, and the first row was much better than the rest. Very, very nice ride. I too believe that I caught TW on a bad day. It was very humid, and it rained a lot. When wood is wet, it expands. Could that have happened with TW and made it a little bumpier? That, or it just plain sucked and the re-tracking didn't do jack. I have yet to go to WoF this year, but there's the possibility that I could go in a few weeks, or a few months. I MUST ride Prowler.

^Destroying them is a waste of time. Tell them that

I have begun to find this guy's rant about SFGADV quite humorous. I think he thought we were an ACTUAL review site. Hence, Theme Park "Review". Lol.

It's so simple to just click on "FAQ" at the top of SFGADV's website then click on "Tips for Family Fun". I'm like Elissa. Whenever I travel, I look for deals, discounts, reviews, tips, FAQ's, etc. It's NOT hard! Hell, when I went to San Antonio a few months ago, I looked for at least two weeks for cheap tickets to Sea World and SFFT. I looked for reviews, tips, what we should try, etc. Guess what? I got $25 SFFT tix and $30 Sea World tickets. I know it probably could have been shorter than a few weeks, but oh well. My point is, when you go to an amusement park, DO NOT leave your brain at home! You are going to a place where thousands of people visit everyday. If food is so expensive, why not get one of the meal plans online? Or even cheaper yet, make your own meal and go to your car during the day and eat. Don't complain about stupid crap if you aren't willing to make an effort to avoid it. Just having got back from the Dominican Republic a month ago, I'm even more astounded at what people in America complain about.
