I don't think there's a new soundtrack... there wasnt on Tuesday at least. ^Edit: Also remember that a lot of kids are already in school. The place was empty Tuesday, Friday should be a bit more heavy, but not enough to warrant buying a flash pass.

I was at DCA yesterday on Maliboomer, we were getting ready to launch, then the ride op said, "Hold on we've seemed to encounter an air leak." A second later it blasted off. I found it pretty funny, although sadly, me being a nerd and everything made me know that the "air leak" sound was routine...but it must have freaked the crap out of the other people haha

^But the quest was resolved with most happiness!

^Very true, it's very sad however to see that Six Flags couldnt manage their money properly in the past and now have to make up their revenue loss with these extreme ads. But I definitely will not protest anything that keeps the park open, no matter how tacky.

In case you didnt see my PTR, what are your thoughts on this? The new SFMM Ad-O-Tron

^In my defense it was really hot, like 98 degrees...of course they didnt bother turning on the queue misters for most of the day

^Thank you I found that with Viper, you just need to lean forward and grab onto the ostr to steady yourself, it's not bad at all when you do that

I have a pretty high tolerance for Viper, but 5 rides in a row was realllly pushing it

^Not when you're stuck in Valencia for 2 hours after closing and the only way to get anywhere is walking

^Haha thanks man, yeah when I saw that bathroom graffiti I also laughed pretty hard...of course I'm never at full maturity any day

I must say that I had a great day at SFMM today, the atmosphere of the place seemed much higher today than usual, the crowds were light, there were lots of families with little kids (some who happened to like Goliath) and over all just a fun day. I noticed many improvements...and many more pathetic attempts at advertising, but I'll get to that later. I must say that the place was very clean, and operations for the most part were pretty good, Batman had a god awful crew though, luckily it was only a 2 train wait! On to the magical pictures! Being a nerd, the running of the bulls is a must if you wanna get X2 out of the way Yeah I'd consider the extra effort worth it Check this out! Viper was running 2 trains, but one still maintained it's old glory! And not the new "hotness" of Scharzkopf hair gel... And my quest for free water begins (I really want a Bag o' Crap) Panda Express does give out free water without any problem...only they gave us sparkling water. But on the bright side, we beat the system and got a drink that should have been payed for, for free! I've been to SFMM 10 times, but oddly enough this was my first ride on Roaring Rapids...it was not an acceptable amount of wetness as it killed 2 phones and a Flip video camera in my group alone! Hopefully this picture will attract a comment from some kind of nerd for rapids But it does give good views of Tatsu's hotness! A beautiful picture of Tatsu...ruined by my lack of ability to time a shot. While I am far from a B&M fanboy...they do make sexy looking coasters Are there any other amusement parks that allow you to get this freakay?!!! At this point I had major wood...in my sights. Props to SFMM for theming the signs for the games around Termy, not too shabby! But first I took a trip over to SFGAm...no wait SFOG...wait...Silverwood? Dead men may tell no tales, but I take about the same quality pictures as dead men so they got something right! Hidden Mickey?!!! Yeah an hour and a half after opening...there was still no line. I literally rode back row without having to wait a train Yeah...not much going on over here in the ol' queue TAKE THE OVERPASS!!!! (that's a funny joke because the train is going over the takeable tunnel) After many failed attempts at this signature shot, I finally got it. BTW I lay claim to this picture and anyone taking a picture even mildly similar to this will be sued. Probably the best form of revenge in So Cal *looks at Montezooma* This is just dirty, dirty, dirty, nerdyness right here, I deserve to be shot. It's a dive loop, but not underwater...that's deep. (Pun credit anyone?!) My next stop for free water: Johnny Rockets! NANANANANANANANANANANANANA Catwoman! I was gonna ride Scream...but it was broken, living proof that B&Ms do in fact break down, so enjoy this picture instead for now, I'll be back for it later! As you can see...Colossus had about an hour long wait...*cough* Goliath IS a sexy beast. I didn't know this thing went fast! I was so happy to finally see another fighter jet...then I realized that it was just Superman. Eagle's Flight footer: now with cargo net theming! Papa John's lunch: Con agua gratis! Time for Goldrusher: The Rippinist Ridinist Rockitist Rockinist Rapinist Rootbeerinist Ride In the Wilderness! Yee haw! ...Cause I had to. Tatsu: THROUGH THE BRANCHES!!! This is what being bored in the line for the Sky Tower gets you... And this... And this. Look at that useless spot of dirt. Tony Hawk could use that for like half piping or something And just when you thought SFMM couldnt get any lower with advertising...take a look at your new ad playing jumbotron conveniently located right to the side of the fountain! It's a sign. Cedar Fair has spot the trashcans, Six Flags has spot the advertisements! Time for a ride on good ol Log Jammer, even ghosts love this ride! Seriously, they were sending out an awful lot of empty boats, and this was like the 2nd longest line I waited in all day!...but it was still like 10 minutes The people in the back row are experiencing weightlessness *nerd sniff* Wascal's+free water+Atem hand Bathroom graffiti win. Free water, but more importantly, the sign is fixed! Seriously, this sign made my PTR back in February when it only had 1 flag lit up, then it made Creditcrazy's Termination Day PTR when it had no flags. But now it's back to 6 f***ing flags! BTW if you're a pedophile that likes hands, free water, and neon signs...this photo's for you! MMM boring ride! I went for a re ride on Terminator...as you can see it was packed! What a cute little touch! That would be a legit empty row right there...on the plus side I saw Michael the amazing ride op when I was walking up the stairs! We got a quick ride on Tatsu in the back which was beastly, and then my friend and I capped the day off by having a Viper half marathon, that's right, I survived 5 rides in a row! Bye Bye Six Flags! Well helloooooo X2 Bye X2! But you have to admit, that picture is sexy! And to top it all off...Helloooooo Wendy's! That concludes my totally amazing and fantastic PTR, I would like to give a shout out to TPR member "Pal" as I met him in the station for Terminator today. On a side note: Terminator got a themed automatic ride spiel that while doesnt sound very intense, still beats the automatic spiels for: Goliath, Tatsu, Scream...and those other rides! And to conclude: Places that do give free water from my personal experience: Papa Johns Johnny Rockets Wascal's Cyber Cafe Food ETC Ben and Jerry's Panda Express So I'm pretty sure that fiasco a few days ago about paying for a cup of water was purely employee error as neither I nor my group of 8 had any problems with getting free water from the restaurants

I rode Viper (SFMM) 5 times in a row today, add that to my 3 and 4 ride mini marathons, and other times I've ridden it, and it adds up to a pretty decent amount. I'm also at rides number 13 for Termy and 14 for x2

I was there today and had a great time, Terminator was a literal walk on all day, the longest I waited for any coaster whose name doesnt start with X and end with 2 was probably about 3 trains. PTR in a bit

Cause Idaho isnt usually considered the west coast, when you hear "west coast" you think Cali, Oregon, and Washington

^It already has Sea World, competes with Disneyland and Legoland, and land there is expensive

The park's placement would have been best in a place with a large populous but no major theme parks around like Seattle or New York (I think it could probably out compete Darien Lake)

That has gotta be the greatest pun in the history of puns, I literally laughed my @$$ off

^Not quite. But that does give me an idea for Tuesday!

I have also never had a problem with the water at SFMM, hell I swear by getting free water at the Cyber Cafe, it's an SFMM must for me almost every time

^That's what I was thinking a few pages back, those restraints seem to fit the "overhead bar with shoulder straps" criteria nicely. But it will probably be the restraints shown in the animation

That's basically paying 40 bucks for a HRRR promo vid with about 15 seconds worth of footage of you. They really should have stepped things up if they're gonna charge 40 bucks for that

Alright, cause I found it kind of cool that this employee knew a lot about the ride and included it in his personal spiel. I was just wondering if he was a special employee or if they all knew what he knew

How much do the ride ops there know about the coasters they operate? Because I remember there was this one Scream op a couple years ago that was saying "I'll make the ride more awesome if you can answer this question." He asked about the height of the ride, and then where the ride was from. I'm not sure if he was a coaster nerd or something, or just all ride ops are at least decently in the know about their rides

The lift and the pretzel are the most exciting parts of Tatsu for me, you've just gotta love how freaky the height on that ride is, the whole midsection doesnt really do too much for me though, it feels really slow. The egg turn looks like it should be forceful and I expect it to be, only to be let down, every time. But Tatsu is still my 3rd favorite ride there
